Effective date: 10/14/2026

These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of otikospress.com and purchases made through the website. The website is operated by Otikos Publishing House, LLC (“Otikos,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By using this website or placing an order, you agree to these terms.

Our Publications and Website Content

We sell books and related publications. Product descriptions identify the edition, format, and other relevant details of each item. Unless a listing expressly states otherwise, purchasing a physical book does not include a digital edition.

We aim to keep product descriptions, prices, and availability accurate. If we discover a material error affecting your order, we will contact you before proceeding. You may accept the corrected terms or cancel for a full refund. We may also cancel an order we cannot fulfill and refund any payment received.

Orders and Payment

Please provide accurate contact, billing, and shipping information when ordering.

Prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Applicable taxes and shipping charges are shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

An order-confirmation email acknowledges receipt of your order; it does not guarantee that an order containing a pricing error, unavailable item, or suspected fraudulent transaction will be fulfilled. If we cancel your order, we will notify you and refund any amount paid.

Price changes do not affect orders we have already accepted.

Printing, Shipping, and Order Problems

Our print-on-demand fulfillment partner, Lulu, prints and ships applicable orders. Otikos remains your point of contact for assistance with purchases made through our website.

Our Shipping Policy explains production times, delivery estimates, shipping charges, address corrections, and how we handle delayed, missing, damaged, defective, or incorrect orders. Please review it before purchasing.

If you need to change or cancel an order, contact us promptly. Changes or cancellations may not be possible after production begins, except where our policies or applicable law provide otherwise.

Returns and Refunds

Please contact us before returning a purchase. Return eligibility and instructions are governed by the return or refund terms presented on our website or with the relevant product.

Nothing in these terms limits the remedies described in our Shipping Policy or any rights you have under applicable consumer-protection law.

Copyright and Intellectual Property

Copyright and other intellectual-property rights in our publications, artwork, logos, and website content belong to Otikos or their respective rights holders.

Purchasing a publication transfers ownership of the purchased copy, not the copyright in its contents. Except as permitted by law or with the rights holder’s permission, you may not reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit protected content.

Nothing in these terms restricts fair use, lawful quotation, criticism, review, or the lawful resale or lending of a physical copy you own.

Acceptable Use

You may not use this website to commit fraud, violate another person’s rights, introduce malicious software, gain unauthorized access, or interfere with the website’s operation.

If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and notifying us if you suspect unauthorized use.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our website uses third-party services for functions such as hosting, payment processing, printing, and delivery. It may also link to outside websites.

Those providers and websites may have their own terms and privacy policies. Their involvement does not remove Otikos’s obligations to you concerning purchases made through our store.

Website Availability

We make reasonable efforts to maintain the website, but uninterrupted or error-free access is not guaranteed. We may update, suspend, or discontinue website features as needed.

This provision does not excuse us from fulfilling accepted orders or providing refunds and other remedies required by our policies or applicable law.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal information when you visit the website, contact us, or place an order.

Applicable Law

These terms are governed by South Carolina law and applicable federal law, without limiting any mandatory consumer protections that apply to your purchase.

If a provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms by posting a revised version and changing the effective date. Updates apply prospectively. The terms presented when you place an order will govern that purchase unless you agree otherwise.

Contact Us

For questions about these terms or an order, use the Contact page at otikospress.com. For order-related inquiries, please include your order number.

Before publishing, replace the effective date and make sure the policy references link to your actual pages. The returns section deliberately does not invent a change-of-mind return window or an “all sales final” rule; it should match whichever return terms you adopt.
