If you do not agree, please discontinue use of this website immediately.

1. Parties and Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Derek Devon, operating under Devon Publishing ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), with its primary place of business in Canada.

By accessing or using the website located at thelastaxiom.com (the "Site"), browsing any content, or completing a purchase, you agree to be bound by these Terms and all applicable Canadian federal and provincial laws and regulations. If you are using the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Products and Digital Content

The Site offers digital products including, but not limited to, electronic books (eBooks in PDF and/or EPUB format) and audiobook files (collectively, "Digital Content"). All Digital Content is delivered electronically via our third-party delivery partner, BookFunnel.

Digital Content is licensed, not sold. You receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Digital Content for your own private, non-commercial reading enjoyment.
You may not reproduce, redistribute, resell, sublicense, broadcast, publicly display, or otherwise make available any Digital Content to any third party without our express written consent.
All Digital Content is provided DRM-free as a courtesy. This does not grant any additional rights beyond personal use.
We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, or remove any product or offering at any time without notice or liability.

3. Purchases, Payments, and All Sales Final

All transactions on this Site are processed by Lemon Squeezy, our third-party payment processor. We do not directly collect or store payment card information.

All sales are final. Due to the instant-access nature of digital products, we do not offer refunds once a purchase has been completed and download links have been issued.
Exceptions may be considered solely at our discretion for duplicate charges caused by a technical error, or for confirmed failures to deliver that cannot be resolved through BookFunnel's technical support.
Prices are listed in USD unless otherwise indicated. Canadian pricing, where offered, is provided as a courtesy and may be withdrawn at any time.
We reserve the right to change pricing at any time without prior notice. Price changes do not affect completed purchases.
You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or levies imposed by your jurisdiction in connection with your purchase.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on this Site and within all Digital Content products — including but not limited to text, narrative, characters, plot, dialogue, world-building elements, images, logos, graphics, audio, and design — is the exclusive intellectual property of Derek Devon and/or Devon Publishing and is protected under Canadian copyright law, the Copyright Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-42), and applicable international copyright conventions.

Unauthorized reproduction, copying, distribution, modification, or creation of derivative works based on any content from this Site or the Digital Content is strictly prohibited and may result in civil and/or criminal liability.
The trademarks, service marks, and trade names used on this Site are the property of Devon Publishing. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use them.
User-submitted content (such as feedback or reviews) grants us a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, display, and reproduce such content for promotional purposes.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ALL DIGITAL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAW, DEVON PUBLISHING EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT;

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN CANADA, IN NO EVENT SHALL DEREK DEVON, DEVON PUBLISHING, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY:

INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES;

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of Canada and the province of British Columbia, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in British Columbia, Canada.

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at derekdevon17@gmail.com and provide a written description of the dispute. We will attempt to resolve the matter informally within thirty (30) days.
If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in British Columbia, Canada, under the applicable rules of the BC International Commercial Arbitration Centre (BCICAC), unless prohibited by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.
You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against Devon Publishing.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. Changes become effective upon posting to this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.

We are not obligated to notify you individually of changes. Material changes may be noted on the Site's homepage at our discretion.

14. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver of any specific breach shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

15. Entire Agreement
