Terms and Conditions
Please read these terms carefully. They govern your use of dragonbacks.com and the DragonBacks ebook.
1. Who we are
The dragonbacks.com website and DragonBacks Publishing are operated by Very Inclusive Presenting Ltd, trading as DragonBacks Publishing, of 42 Lytton Road, Barnet, Hertfordshire, EN5 5BY, United Kingdom (in these terms, "we", "us" or "our"). You can contact us at [email protected].
2. About these terms
These terms apply to your use of dragonbacks.com (the "site") and to any purchase you make of DragonBacks through the retailers we list, principally Amazon and Apple Books. By using the site or buying the book you confirm that you accept these terms.
We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force is the one published on this page at the time you use the site or place an order. The date at the bottom of this page tells you when the terms were last updated.

Copyright © Olivka Wilk, 2026. The moral right of Olivka Wilk to be identified as the author of this work has been asserted by her in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. All rights reserved.
4. Buying the book
DragonBacks is sold through third-party retailers, principally Amazon (paperback, hardback and Kindle ebook) and Apple Books (ebook). When you buy through one of these retailers, your contract for that purchase is with the retailer as well as with us, and the retailer's terms of sale, payment, delivery and refund policies will apply to that transaction.
Prices, currencies, taxes, shipping and availability are set in the retailer's store. We are not responsible for the technical operation of the retailer's store or the processing of your payment.
5. Your licence to read the ebook
When you buy the ebook you do not buy the underlying work itself. You buy a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to download, store and read the ebook on devices you own or control for your own private, non-commercial use, in line with the rules of the store you bought it from.
Unless the law allows you to do so, you must not:
- copy, reproduce, share, lend, sell, sub-license or redistribute the ebook in any form;
- remove or circumvent any digital rights management or technical protection measure;
- use the ebook, or any part of it, to train, fine-tune or evaluate any machine learning or artificial intelligence model;
- extract substantial parts of the text for republication or commercial use.
Printed copies (paperback and hardback) are yours to keep, lend or pass on as you would any physical book, but the copyright in the text, cover artwork, illustrations and the DragonBacks name and stamp remains reserved by the author and by us, and may not be reproduced.
6. Your statutory rights as a consumer
Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In particular:
- Books and digital content we supply must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. If they are not, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement or refund.
- For printed books, your usual rights of return and refund through the retailer apply.
- For the ebook, because it is downloadable digital content, your right to cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations is normally lost once the download has begun with your express consent and acknowledgement that the right to cancel will be lost.
7. Refunds and faulty copies
Refunds are handled by the retailer you bought from. For Apple Books, see reportaproblem.apple.com. For Amazon, use Your Orders in your Amazon account.
If you believe the book itself is faulty, or that your statutory rights have not been met, please write to [email protected] with details of the problem and your proof of purchase. We will work with you, and where appropriate with the retailer, to put things right.
8. The website
We provide dragonbacks.com on an "as is" basis. We may change, suspend or withdraw all or any part of the site at any time without notice. We will use reasonable care and skill to keep the site available, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, secure or error free.
Where the site links to third-party websites or services, we are not responsible for the content of those sites or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.
9. Newsletter and account
If you submit your name and email address through the site to join the DragonBacks community, you are giving us permission to send you occasional emails about the book, related news and offers. You can withdraw your consent at any time using the unsubscribe link at the foot of each email, or by writing to [email protected]. Please see our Privacy Policy for full details.
10. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the site for any unlawful purpose, not to attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, not to interfere with its proper operation, and not to use it in any way that could damage, disable or impair the site or our reputation.
11. Our liability to you
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.
Subject to the paragraph above, we are not liable for any business losses, and our total liability to you in connection with these terms, the site and the ebook is limited to the amount you paid for the ebook.
If you are a consumer, you are entitled to the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you live.
12. Events outside our control
We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these terms where that failure or delay results from events outside our reasonable control.
13. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. You and we agree that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute, except that if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.
14. Contact
