3. No sales on this Site

We do not sell products directly on this Site. All purchases happen on third-party platforms (e.g., Amazon) and are governed exclusively by their terms, pricing, shipping, refund, and return policies. We are not a party to those transactions and we make no representations about availability, pricing, or delivery on those platforms.

All content on the Site — text, book covers, photographs, logos (including the “vessel” mark), the “Victoria D. Laine” name and the Relationship Building Mastery series titles — is owned by the Author or used under license, and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify or create derivative works without prior written consent, except for personal, non-commercial browsing.

use the Author’s name, voice or likeness to train AI systems without prior written consent.

6. Third-party links

The Site contains links to third parties (Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google). We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those third parties.

7. Affiliate disclosure

Some outbound links may, now or in the future, be affiliate links. Where applicable, we comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials” (16 C.F.R. Part 255). Clicking an affiliate link does not change the price you pay.

8. Disclaimers

The Site and the books are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice and are not a substitute for therapy or counseling. If you are experiencing a mental-health emergency, please contact emergency services or a licensed professional.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Author shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Site. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (including mandatory consumer-protection rights under EU law).

10. Consumers in the EU

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you benefit from the mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence. The European Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
