Some Sure Ground Life books may be published and sold through Amazon using Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).

Purchases made through Amazon are subject to Amazon's own terms, conditions, policies, payment arrangements, delivery processes and refund policies.

Where you purchase a Sure Ground Life book directly from Amazon, the transaction is between you and Amazon in accordance with Amazon's applicable terms.

Sure Ground Life is responsible for the content and creation of its books, but Amazon controls the purchasing and fulfilment process for products sold through its platform.

Some Sure Ground Life digital products may be sold through Gumroad.

Purchases made through Gumroad may be subject to Gumroad's terms, policies, payment processing procedures and refund policies in addition to these Terms & Conditions.

Where Gumroad processes your payment or delivers your digital product, Gumroad may collect and process information necessary to complete the transaction.

We recommend reviewing the applicable Gumroad terms before making a purchase.

• Shipping and delivery
• Returns and refunds

We may update these Terms & Conditions when our own ecommerce store becomes available.

The specific terms applicable to a purchase will be made available to customers at the time of purchase.

We aim to ensure that product descriptions, images and prices displayed on our Website are accurate.

However, we do not guarantee that all descriptions, images, prices or other information will always be completely accurate, current or free from errors.

We reserve the right to correct errors or omissions and to update product information when necessary.

If an error affects a purchase you have made, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation appropriately.

Where products are purchased through a third-party platform such as Amazon or Gumroad, refunds, cancellations and returns may be governed by that platform's applicable policies.

Please refer to the relevant platform’s refund and purchase policies for purchases made through those services.

When Sure Ground Life introduces its own online store, we will publish a separate or updated refund and returns policy explaining the rules applicable to direct purchases.
