These Terms of Service explain the terms that apply when you visit samipelling.com, join my reader community, or interact with content, opportunities and services provided through this website.

1. About these terms

This website is operated by Sami Pelling, a UK-based romance author. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website.

These terms apply to samipelling.com and the pages, forms and content made available through it.

2. Website content

This website provides information about my books, writing, upcoming releases, reader opportunities, author news and related content. Information is provided in good faith and may be updated, changed or removed from time to time.

Book descriptions, covers, release information, availability and other publishing details may change as projects develop. Where a book is sold through a third-party retailer, the retailer's listing should be checked for the latest purchasing and availability information.

3. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the original content on this website, including written copy, branding, graphics, book-related materials and other original author content, belongs to Sami Pelling or is used with appropriate permission.

My novels, novellas, characters, fictional worlds and other creative works are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may share links to my website and social media content using the sharing functions provided. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, distribute or commercially exploit substantial portions of my website content or creative works without permission, except where permitted by law.

4. Reader list and email communications

If you choose to join my reader list, I may send you emails about my books, new releases, cover reveals, exclusive content, reader opportunities, ARC opportunities and other author-related news.

Joining the reader list is voluntary. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in my emails.

Information about how personal data is collected and used is available in my Privacy Policy .

5. ARC and reviewer opportunities

From time to time, I may offer advance reader copies (ARCs), review copies, beta-reading opportunities or other reader opportunities. Applying or expressing interest does not guarantee that you will receive a copy or be selected for an opportunity.

Where a complimentary review copy is provided, readers are not required to leave a positive review. Reviews should reflect the reader's genuine and honest opinion, and any disclosure requirements that apply to a complimentary or advance copy should be followed.

ARC and review materials are provided for the intended recipient and must not be uploaded, copied, sold, redistributed or shared without permission.

6. External links and retailers

This website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including Amazon, social media platforms and other book retailers or services.

When you follow an external link, you leave this website. Third-party websites operate under their own terms, privacy policies and purchasing arrangements, and I do not control their content, availability, security or services.

If you purchase a book or other product from a third-party retailer, your transaction is with that retailer and is subject to its terms and policies.

When using this website, you agree not to:

• use the website for unlawful or fraudulent purposes;
• attempt to interfere with the security or operation of the website;
• submit malicious code, spam or deliberately harmful material;
• misuse forms or reader opportunities;
• infringe my intellectual property rights or those of another person; or
• use website content in a misleading or unauthorised commercial manner.

8. Availability of the website

I aim to keep the website available and accurate, but I cannot guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or free from technical errors.

Access may occasionally be suspended or restricted for maintenance, updates, technical issues or circumstances outside my reasonable control.

9. Disclaimer and liability

The content on this website is provided primarily for information, entertainment and reader engagement. Nothing on this website is intended to constitute professional, legal, financial or other specialist advice.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful. Subject to those rights and protections, I am not responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on general website content, temporary website unavailability, or the actions, content or services of third-party websites linked from this site.
