These Terms & Conditions govern your use of this website and any purchase you make through it. The site is operated by VERTIGE, INC., a California corporation based in Los Angeles, on behalf of Mark Anthony ("we," "us"). By using the site or placing an order, you agree to these terms.

Products

We sell printed books of poetry by Mark Anthony. We do our best to show each book accurately, including its cover, format and page count. Colors and finishes may look slightly different on your screen than in print.

Buying from Mark Anthony

When you choose "Buy from Mark Anthony," your order is placed with us. Prices are shown at checkout in U.S. dollars and may change without notice; the price at the time you order is the price you pay. Applicable taxes and shipping charges are added at checkout. We may refuse or cancel an order, for example if an item is unavailable or a price was listed in error, and we will refund any payment taken.

Buying from Amazon

"Buy from Amazon" takes you to Amazon.com. Purchases made there are sold and fulfilled under Amazon's own terms, prices and policies. We are not responsible for orders placed on Amazon or other third-party sites.

Payment

Payments are processed securely through our e-commerce provider, Shopify, and its payment partners. We never see or store your full card number.

Shipping

We ship to the addresses and regions offered at checkout. Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees. Risk of loss passes to you when the order is handed to the carrier. Books are packed in recyclable packaging.

Returns and refunds

All sales are final, with one exception: if your book arrives damaged or you receive the wrong item, contact us within 30 days of delivery with your order number and a photo, and we will send a replacement or issue a refund.

Intellectual property

All poems, text, cover art, photography and design on this site belong to Mark Anthony, VERTIGE, INC. or their licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may share links to the site, but you may not copy, reproduce or sell any of its content without written permission.

Use of the site

You agree not to misuse the site, interfere with its operation, attempt to access it by automated means beyond ordinary browsing, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

Disclaimers and liability

The site is provided "as is." To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, and our total liability for any claim related to the site or a purchase is limited to the amount you paid for the order in question. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The effective date above shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

This policy explains what personal information VERTIGE, INC. ("we," "us") collects when you visit this website or buy a Mark Anthony book from us, how we use it, and the choices you have.

What we collect

Information you give us. When you place an order: your name, email address, shipping and billing address, phone number if provided, and order details. If you write to us, the contents of your message.

Payment information. Card details are entered into and processed by Shopify and its payment partners. We do not receive or store your full card number.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep your cart working, remember preferences and understand how the site is used. This can include your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed and the site that referred you.

How we use it

To process and deliver your order, send order and shipping updates, respond to your questions, prevent fraud, keep the site secure and working, and improve it. If you choose to receive news about new books, we use your email for that and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Who we share it with

We share information only with service providers who help us run the store: Shopify (our e-commerce platform), payment processors, shipping carriers, and the printer that produces and ships your book. They may use it only to provide those services. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or as part of a sale or reorganization of the business. We do not sell your personal information.

If you click "Buy from Amazon," you leave this site, and Amazon's privacy policy applies to anything you do there.

Cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site's cart and checkout need some cookies to work.

How long we keep it

We keep order records for as long as needed to fulfil the order and to meet tax, accounting and legal requirements. Other information is kept only as long as it is useful for the purposes above.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of certain uses. California residents have these rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, and we will not treat you differently for using them. To make a request, contact us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity first.
