Terms of Service

Who we are

Adored Editions is operated by Martinez United LLC, doing business as Adored Editions (“Adored Editions,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to place an order.

How an order works

• You choose an edition and authorize a one-time $19 creation deposit.
• The deposit starts a personalized cover concept and includes up to two cover refinements.
• If you continue, the full $19 is credited toward your selected edition.
• After you approve the cover, we provide a separate checkout for the remaining balance.
• Full-edition design begins after that separate balance payment and includes one complete full-edition revision.
• A printed order is not sent to the printer until you approve the final proof.

Cover approval does not authorize a second charge. You must separately complete the balance checkout. There is no subscription, recurring payment, or automatic balance charge.

Prices, delivery, and taxes

Prices are shown in U.S. dollars. Standard delivery to one address in the contiguous United States is included with printed editions. Any applicable taxes, other destinations, expedited delivery, split shipments, and customer-requested upgrades will be shown before the related payment is authorized. Stripe processes payments; we do not receive or store your complete card number.

Your photographs and stories

“Customer Content” means the photographs, names, stories, dates, captions, preferences, and instructions you submit. You keep ownership of that content. You give us a limited, nonexclusive license to copy, crop, edit, format, transmit, and use it only as reasonably necessary to create, review, print, deliver, support, or legally document your order.

We will not publish Customer Content, use it in advertising or a public portfolio, or use it to train a general-purpose AI model without separate express permission.

You confirm that:

• You own the content or have permission to submit and use it.
• You have appropriate consent from recognizable people shown or described.
• You are a parent, legal guardian, or otherwise authorized when the project involves a minor.
• The content does not violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
• The content is lawful and contains no exploitative, nonconsensual intimate, or sexual content involving a minor.

We may refuse or stop a project that violates these requirements.

Design rights and proof approval

Adored Editions retains ownership of its templates, branding, layout systems, and reusable design elements. After full payment, you receive a personal, noncommercial license to view, share, archive, and print the final digital file for personal gifting. Commercial resale, promotional use, or other commercial reproduction requires written permission.

Final-proof approval authorizes production and confirms that you have reviewed names, dates, spelling, photographs, cropping, page order, and other visible details. We will correct an item that materially differs from the approved proof because of our error. Customer-requested changes after approval, or errors visible in an approved proof, may require an additional design or reprint charge.

Small differences between screen and print color, trim, alignment, paper, or binding are normal manufacturing variations.

If an originally described paper, cover, or other material becomes unavailable, we will not substitute a materially different option without disclosing it and obtaining your approval before production.

Cancellations and shipping

Our Refund and Cancellation Policy and our Shipping and Production Policy are part of these terms. Personalized products generally cannot be returned for a change of mind after production begins. This does not limit a consumer right that cannot legally be waived.

Responsibility and liability

We will provide the service with reasonable care and work to deliver a product that substantially matches the approved proof. To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages. Our total liability relating to an order will not exceed the amount paid for that order. These limits do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited.

To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for reasonable losses resulting from a third-party claim that Customer Content was submitted without the required rights or permission.

Governing law and changes

Texas law governs these terms, except for consumer rights under your home state’s laws that cannot be waived. Eligible claims may be brought in small-claims court. The version accepted when an order is placed applies to that order; material changes apply prospectively.
