3.What we sell and how fulfillment works
We sell print books, ebooks, audiobooks, and book inspired merchandise.

4. Who may use the site
You must be at least the age of majority where you live to place an order. If you are under the age of majority you need permission from your parent or legal guardian.
5. Orders and contract formation
Placing items in your cart does not create a contract. A contract forms when your payment is successfully processed and we or our Vendor send a confirmation. We may refuse or cancel an order for any lawful reason. If we cancel an order after you have been charged we will refund the full amount for that order.
6. Pricing, taxes, and availability
Prices are shown in United States dollars unless stated otherwise. Prices and availability can change without notice. You are responsible for any sales tax, VAT, duties, or import fees that apply to your purchase. If a price is obviously incorrect we may cancel the order and refund you.
7. Payments
Payments for purchases made on our site are processed by Stripe. By completing a transaction you authorize Stripe to charge your selected payment method and you agree to Stripe’s separate terms and privacy practices. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers.
For print books purchased through IngramSpark or Amazon, and for merchandise purchased through Spreadshop, the Vendor will process your payment and their terms will apply.
8. Shipping and delivery
– Print books. Printing and shipping time frames are set by the Vendor that processes the order. Risk of loss for physical items transfers to you when the item is delivered to the carrier.
– Merchandise. Production and shipping schedules are set by Spreadshop. Risk of loss transfers upon delivery to the carrier.
– Digital Content. Delivery occurs when BookFunnel makes the content available to your account or by email link. If you do not receive a delivery email, check your spam folder and then contact BookFunnel support or write to us at info@countyroad12.com.
We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs, strikes, natural events, or Vendor system outages.
