Terms and Conditions
Draft revision date: November 9, 2026
These Terms and Conditions describe the use of M Price Books and its informational content. They address reading resources, editorial material, website correspondence, and references to books or independent services.
Website Purpose
M Price Books presents information about books, poetry, essays, reading practices, and independent publishing.
Descriptions and reading suggestions help visitors explore subjects and identify questions worth considering. They do not guarantee that a particular book, edition, event, course, or service is currently available.
Author and Publisher References
References to an author, book, publisher, or historical website do not, by themselves, establish a current agency, ownership, endorsement, or commercial relationship.
The website must not be treated as an authorized booking or rights-management service unless that role has been expressly confirmed.
Using the Content
You may read the website and use its general information for personal research, reading discussions, or project planning.
You must not use the website to:
- Submit fraudulent inquiries.
- Impersonate another person or organization.
- Send unlawful, threatening, or abusive material.
- Attempt unauthorized access to restricted systems.
- Distribute malicious software.
- Interfere with the website’s operation.
- Infringe another person’s intellectual property or privacy rights.
Intellectual Property
Rights in books, poems, essays, photographs, artwork, trademarks, and other materials remain with their respective owners or licensors.
Mentioning a work does not transfer any right to reproduce, distribute, adapt, sell, or publicly perform it.
Where permission is required, it must be obtained from an authorized rights holder. Giving credit does not automatically replace permission.
Requests to Reproduce Material
A permission inquiry should identify:
- The work and author.
- The material you want to use.
- The proposed publication or presentation.
- The intended audience and distribution.
- Whether the use is commercial.
- The requested duration and territory, where relevant.
An unanswered request is not approval. This website cannot grant rights it does not hold.
Editorial Submissions
Sending an editorial idea does not establish a commission, publishing agreement, representation arrangement, or obligation to review a manuscript.
Begin with a concise proposal rather than a complete unpublished work. Any accepted project should have a separate agreement covering its scope, deadlines, payment where relevant, publication rights, and responsibilities.
Submission of material does not transfer its ownership to the website operator.
Book Purchases and External Services
Unless a transaction expressly identifies M Price Books as the seller, purchases are governed by the terms of the retailer that accepts the order.
Before purchasing, check the title, author, edition, format, price, delivery arrangements, and return conditions.
Questions concerning payment, delivery, download access, damaged goods, or refunds should be directed to the responsible seller. An informational page does not create a separate refund promise.
Events, Interviews, and Appearances
An inquiry about an author appearance, interview, workshop, or reading does not confirm availability or establish a booking.
An authorized participant or representative must accept the request. Any confirmed arrangement should address the date, format, scope, fees where applicable, recording permissions, cancellation conditions, and other relevant requirements.
Do not advertise participation before receiving confirmation.
Accuracy and Historical Information
Catalogs, editions, descriptions, prices, and service arrangements can change.
Historical information records an earlier situation. It should not be treated as confirmation of current ownership, contact information, availability, or commercial terms.
If a detail affects a purchase, event, permission request, or business decision, confirm it with the responsible organization.
Reading and Publishing Guidance
Reading exercises and publishing checklists are general resources. They do not promise literary recognition, sales, earnings, publication, or any other commercial outcome.
A writer considering a paid service should review the provider’s actual scope of work, costs, rights provisions, and delivery obligations.
Website Availability and Responsibility
The website may be updated, interrupted, or temporarily unavailable. Content may be corrected or removed.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability where exclusion is prohibited by law or limits mandatory rights that apply to a visitor or consumer.
Agreements with independent providers remain subject to their own terms and applicable law.
Contact
Proposed website contact: [email protected].
The demonstration number +1 520-555-0142 is fictional and is not an operational support line or a verified author contact.
FAQ
Can I buy a book simply by sending an email?
An inquiry does not create an order. A purchase requires a confirmed offer and the seller’s stated ordering process.
Can this website authorize use of a poem?
Only an authorized rights holder can grant the relevant permission. A website mention or an unanswered message does not establish that authorization.
Does an editorial proposal create a publishing agreement?
No. A proposal begins a discussion. Rights, responsibilities, payment, and publication conditions require a separate agreement.
Are book prices or course offers guaranteed?
No. Confirm current prices, availability, and terms with the organization providing the product or service.
Can I announce an author appearance after sending an invitation?
No. Wait for express confirmation from the author or an authorized representative before announcing participation.
Contact M Price Books
For questions about website content, reading resources, corrections, or an editorial proposal, prepare a short message explaining what you need and which book or page it concerns.
Proposed email: [email protected]
Demonstration telephone: +1 520-555-0142
The email requires activation or verification. The telephone number is fictional and is included only for the website draft. Neither is a confirmed personal contact for Márquez Price.
General Questions
A useful inquiry includes:
- Your name or preferred form of address.
- A working reply email.
- The relevant book or webpage title.
- A clear description of the question.
- Any deadline that affects the response you need.
Keep the message focused. Do not include passwords, payment information, identity documents, or unrelated personal details.
Content Corrections
If you notice an inaccurate title, author attribution, publication detail, or description, identify the specific information that needs review.
Explain the proposed correction and, where possible, describe the evidence supporting it. Distinguish a factual error from a different interpretation of a literary work.
Reading Groups and Educational Inquiries
Mention the book or selection your group is discussing, the intended audience, and the type of resource you are seeking.
A request for discussion material does not arrange an author appearance. Invitations to an author must be sent through an authorized contact and accepted separately.
Editorial and Collaboration Proposals
Begin with a short outline that explains:
- The proposed topic.
- The publication, organization, or project.
- The intended audience.
- The contribution requested.
- The proposed schedule.
- Whether the project involves payment or commercial use.
Do not attach an entire unpublished manuscript unless it has been requested. An initial message does not establish a publishing agreement or transfer rights.
Orders and Retailer Support
For purchases made through an independent retailer, contact that retailer directly.
Have the order reference, purchase date, title, and format ready. Never send full payment card details in a general support message.
Privacy and Rights Questions
For a privacy request, identify the relevant correspondence and describe what you want addressed.
For a copyright or permission question, identify the work, the material concerned, and the proposed use. Permission must come from a party authorized to grant it.
FAQ
Is the telephone number a working author contact?
No. It is a fictional demonstration number for the draft website.
Is the email address verified?
No. It is a proposed address that must be created or checked before publication.
Can I send a manuscript?
Start with a brief proposal. Send the full manuscript only if an authorized recipient invites it.
Who handles a refund for a purchased book?
The retailer that accepted the order normally handles the refund request under its terms and applicable law.
Does a message confirm an interview or appearance?
No. Participation requires express acceptance from the author or an authorized representative.
