3. User-Generated Content
If the Site permits comments, reviews, or other user submissions, you retain ownership of your content but grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display and distribute it on the Site. You agree not to post content that is defamatory, abusive, unlawful, spam, or infringing on third-party rights.

4. Purchases, Digital Products, and Third-Party Platforms
Books and merchandise are sold through third-party platforms, including Amazon, IngramSpark, Payhip, Printful, and Stripe.

Digital products and right of withdrawal
For digital products (such as ebooks) purchased through our store providers, you acknowledge and agree that under EU and UK consumer law, the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal is waived once the download or streaming of the digital content has begun. By completing a purchase for digital content, you provide your prior express consent to immediate performance and acknowledge the loss of your right of withdrawal.
5. Affiliate Disclosure
The Site may participate in affiliate marketing programs (such as Amazon Associates).

10. Fictional Content Disclaimer
The Broken Flag Saga, including Baler and Other Stories and Nahui Ollin, the Fifth Sun, is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real events, real historical figures, or real institutions is used in a fictional or alternate-history context, and does not represent factual claims about real people or organisations except where events are drawn from well-documented history. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner.
11. Governing Law and Severability
These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain. Any disputes arising from your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Galicia, Spain, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rights you may have under the law of your country of habitual residence as required by applicable EU regulations.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
