Terms of Use

Terms governing access to Fernwell Publishing’s website and editorial materials.

Last updated: October 11, 2026

Who we are

This website is operated by Fernwell Publishing LLC (“Fernwell,” “we,” or “us”). These terms govern use of this website. By accessing it, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Editorial content and intellectual property

Unless otherwise indicated, original text, branding, designs, images, and other materials on this website are owned by Fernwell or used under license. You may read and share links for personal, noncommercial purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, or commercially exploit our materials without prior written permission, except as permitted by law.

Accuracy and availability

Editorial material is provided for general information and commentary. We aim for accuracy but do not guarantee that all content is complete, current, or error-free. We may change, suspend, or remove website content or features.

Submissions and communications

Sending a manuscript, pitch, or other material does not create a publisher-author, agency, fiduciary, or confidential relationship, does not guarantee review or response, and does not obligate Fernwell to acquire, publish, represent, or compensate the sender. See our separate Submissions Policy for details.

Outside links and services

Links to third-party sites, payment services, or publications are provided for convenience. Their terms and privacy practices apply separately. Fernwell does not control third-party services.

Acceptable use

Do not interfere with the website, attempt unauthorized access, upload malicious code, or use the website in violation of applicable law.

Purchases and subscriptions

Any future purchase, digital subscription, or recurring service will be subject to clearly displayed transaction-specific pricing, fulfillment, cancellation, and refund terms before payment. This website currently does not itself process purchases.

Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided “as is,” without warranties of uninterrupted availability or fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing in these terms limits rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived.

Changes and governing law

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version with a revised date. California law generally governs these terms, subject to applicable consumer protections and mandatory law.
