Refund & Delivery Policy
Digital Sales
All digital sales are final. Because ebooks and digital products are delivered instantly, refunds are only available if the wrong file was sent or if there is a technical issue we are unable to resolve. If you experience any issues with your download, please contact sales@jorgiayates.com.
Accidental Duplicates
Refunds for accidental duplicate purchases are available within 3 days of purchase, provided both purchases were made using the same email address. The duplicate copy must not have been downloaded or accessed. To request a duplicate refund, please email your order details to sales@jorgiayates.com.
Preorders
Preorders are charged at the time of purchase and will be delivered automatically to your provided email address on the official release date.
Paperback Orders
Your paperback is printed especially for you once your order is placed. Please allow 5–14 business days for printing, processing, and delivery.
Damaged, Defective, or Lost Items
While we do our best to ensure your books arrive in pristine condition, mishaps can happen during printing or transit. If your paperback arrives damaged, misprinted, or is lost in transit, please email sales@jorgiayates.com within 14 working days of receiving your order (or, if your order is lost, as soon as it is clear it has not arrived).
Please include your order number and clear photos of the damage (including the outer packaging, if applicable). I will immediately submit a claim to the printer to arrange the appropriate resolution, which may include a replacement copy or refund where applicable.
Please note that I cannot offer refunds or replacements for change-of-mind purchases.
