Terms of Service

Overview

This website is operated by In the Vortex of Fate (author Matej Hribar). Throughout the site, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to In the Vortex of Fate. By accessing this website and/or purchasing a book from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use this site.

We may update these Terms at any time by posting a new version on this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

​

1) Eligibility & Acceptable Use

You confirm you are of legal age of majority in your country/region or have obtained consent from a legal guardian. You agree not to use this website for any unlawful purpose, not to upload malicious code, and not to infringe any intellectual-property rights.

​

2) Products & Digital Content

Our products include printed and digital books.
All digital content (e.g., e-books, downloadable files) is intended for personal use only and may not be copied, shared, sold, or electronically or digitally processed without explicit permission.

Book prices may change without prior notice.
We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the sale of any book or website functionality at any time.

​

3) Orders, Payments & Shipping

You agree to provide accurate and complete information (name, email, shipping address, payment details). We may refuse or cancel orders that appear fraudulent, abusive, or in violation of these Terms.

Payments are processed securely by third-party payment providers; we do not store complete credit-card details. Shipping times for printed books vary by destination and carrier; delays caused by carriers or customs are outside our control.

​

4) Returns & Refunds

Because we sell books, returns are generally not accepted. Exceptions apply only if:

  • you received damaged book, or

  • you received the wrong item.

In such cases, contact us within 3 days of delivery at inthevortexoffate@gmail.com with a brief description and photo(s). If approved, we will arrange a replacement or a refund.

Digital books (e-books): all purchases are final and non-refundable once the order is completed.
See our Refund Policy for full details.

​

5) Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, images, graphics, and book material — is the property of Matej Hribar or legally used with permission, and is protected by copyright and other laws.
Copying, modifying, distributing, or creating derivative works without prior written consent is strictly prohibited.

We strive for accuracy but do not warrant that all descriptions, pricing, availability, or other content are error-free. We may correct errors or update information at any time without prior notice.

​

​

8) User Feedback & Submissions

If you send ideas, suggestions, or other materials (“comments”), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, edit, publish, and distribute such comments for site and product improvement, without any obligation to compensate you. Do not submit content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or harmful.

The site, products, and digital content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free operation.

If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

​

15) Termination

These Terms remain effective until terminated by you or us. You may stop using the site at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if we believe you violated these Terms. Provisions which by their nature should survive termination (e.g., intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification) shall survive.
