This website may include free short stories, previews, excerpts, blog posts, interactive features, author updates, shop links, and promotional material for paid digital works.

2. Fiction Disclaimer

The stories, characters, organizations, businesses, places, events, dialogue, and situations presented by Petalstorm Press are works of fiction unless otherwise stated.

Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, real businesses, organizations, locations, events, or circumstances is purely coincidental.

Names, places, settings, institutions, and fictional details may be inspired by broad genres, folklore, history, atmosphere, emotional themes, or imaginative storytelling, but they are not intended to represent, accuse, depict, or reference any specific real person, business, group, institution, or event unless clearly identified as factual commentary or reference.

3. Personal Use Only

All stories, excerpts, images, copy, downloadable files, interactive features, and other materials on this website are provided for personal, non-commercial use only.

You may read, enjoy, share links to, and recommend Petalstorm Press content.

You may not copy, reproduce, redistribute, resell, upload, modify, publish, scrape, or otherwise use the content from this website without written permission.

Unless otherwise stated, all written content, story concepts, characters, titles, excerpts, downloadable products, branding, and website copy on Petalstorm Press are the intellectual property of Petalstorm Press and/or S.P. Luna.

All rights are reserved.

You may not claim Petalstorm Press content as your own, use it in commercial projects, include it in datasets, repost full stories elsewhere, or use it to create derivative works without permission.

5. AI, Scraping, and Automated Use

You may not use automated tools, bots, scrapers, crawlers, or similar technologies to copy, extract, archive, train on, summarize at scale, or reproduce content from this website without written permission.

Petalstorm Press does not grant permission for its stories, excerpts, downloadable works, website copy, or creative materials to be used for artificial intelligence training, machine learning datasets, large language model training, or similar technologies without explicit written consent.

6. Free Stories and Website Content

Petalstorm Press may offer free-to-read stories, previews, excerpts, or interactive features for reader enjoyment.

Free access does not mean the content is public domain or free for reuse.

We may revise, remove, update, expand, bundle, republish, or move content at any time without notice.

7. Digital Products and Purchases

Petalstorm Press may offer or link to digital products, including but not limited to ebooks, PDFs, downloadable fiction, story bundles, bonus materials, printable files, and other digital content.

Some products may be sold directly through Petalstorm Press, while others may be sold through third-party platforms such as Gumroad, Etsy, Amazon, Draft2Digital, or other retailers.

When you purchase through a third-party platform, your purchase is handled by that platform. Their terms, checkout process, payment processing, delivery systems, refund policies, taxes, account rules, and customer service processes may apply.

Petalstorm Press is not responsible for technical issues, payment disputes, account problems, delayed delivery, refund decisions, or access issues controlled by third-party platforms.

8. Digital Product License

When you purchase or download a digital product from Petalstorm Press or from a third-party retailer selling Petalstorm Press products, you are purchasing access to a personal-use digital copy.

You are not purchasing ownership of the copyright, characters, story world, files, design, layout, title, branding, or intellectual property.

Digital products are for personal reading and personal enjoyment only.

You may not copy, share, upload, redistribute, resell, print for commercial use, alter, translate, adapt, extract, or make derivative works from Petalstorm Press digital products without written permission.

You may not upload Petalstorm Press digital products to file-sharing sites, public archives, AI tools, online databases, resale platforms, or group-sharing folders.

9. Digital Product Delivery

Digital products are delivered electronically.

Depending on the platform used for purchase, files may be delivered through instant download, email delivery, customer account access, retailer library access, or another digital delivery method.

Please make sure your email address and account information are correct at checkout.

Petalstorm Press is not responsible for failed delivery caused by incorrect email addresses, customer account issues, spam filters, device incompatibility, third-party platform outages, or user-side technical problems.

10. File Compatibility

Digital products may be provided in formats such as PDF, EPUB, MOBI, PNG, JPG, ZIP, or other digital file types, depending on the listing.

Please review the product description before purchasing to make sure the file type works for your device, app, or reading preference.

Petalstorm Press does not guarantee that every file will be compatible with every device, app, operating system, browser, printer, or reading platform.

11. Refunds and Cancellations

Because digital products are delivered electronically and cannot be physically returned, all digital product sales are considered final unless otherwise stated on the product page.

For products purchased through third-party platforms, the refund and cancellation policies of that platform or listing apply.

Please read product descriptions, file details, page counts, content notes, and platform policies before purchasing.

12. Product Updates and Changes

Petalstorm Press may update, revise, reformat, expand, rename, repackage, bundle, unbundle, or remove digital products at any time.

13. Prices and Availability

Product prices, promotions, discounts, bundles, availability, and platform listings may change at any time without notice.

A product available on one platform may not be available on another.
