TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: September 3, 2026

OVERVIEW

Welcome to Shadowbanned Library. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Shadowbanned Library. Shadowbanned Library operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, digital products, classes, videos, livestreams, articles, publications, community features, and services, collectively referred to as the “Services.”

Shadowbanned Library is powered in part by Shopify, which enables us to provide certain Services to you.

These Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced herein, describe your rights and responsibilities when you access or use the Services.

Please read these Terms carefully. They include important information about your legal rights and cover areas including warranty disclaimers, medical and health information, third-party content and links, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution.

By visiting, interacting with, purchasing from, registering for, subscribing to, or otherwise using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy [LINK].

If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or our Privacy Policy, you should not access or use the Services.


SECTION 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are of legal age in your state or province of residence. If you allow any minor dependent to use the Services on a device you own, purchase, or manage, you represent that you have consented to such use.

To use the Services, including browsing our online store or purchasing products or services, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing information, payment information, and shipping information.

You represent and warrant that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete and that you have all rights necessary to provide such information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person without our prior written authorization.

We reserve the right to refuse service, suspend accounts, terminate accounts, remove content, or restrict access to any person when permitted by applicable law.


SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

We make reasonable efforts to accurately display and describe our products and services. However, product colors, images, sizing, appearance, condition, packaging, specifications, and other details may vary based on your device, screen settings, lighting, manufacturer changes, or other factors.

We do not warrant that the appearance, quality, condition, characteristics, or details of any product or service purchased by you will meet your expectations or be identical to how it appears in our online store.

Product descriptions, pricing, availability, content, features, instructors, schedules, and related information are subject to change at any time without notice.

We reserve the right to discontinue any product or service at any time and may limit quantities, availability, access, participation, or sales to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction.

Digital products, subscriptions, classes, recordings, articles, videos, livestreams, memberships, or other content may be subject to additional access limitations or terms disclosed at the time of purchase.

2.1 - PRINTING MATERIALS

"eBooks" are "electronic books", meaning they are digital versions of books that are meant to be read on an electronic device (computer, cell phone, tablet, etc.)  We do not guarantee you will be able to print eBooks that you download from our site, nor do we guarantee that they will print in full or print accurately, as these materials were designed to be read on an electronic device.  Should you attempt to print eBooks, you are doing so at your own direction.  

2.2 - AUTHOR RESTRICTIONS ON PRINTING

Authors of downloadable materials may choose to password protect them to prevent printing in hopes that their materials will not be subjected to unauthorized use or production. This means, although you can still download the eBook and read it digitally, a password is required to print it.  Authors who have chosen to block the printing feature do not provide Shadowbanned Library with the password to override this feature. If you want to print a downloaded eBook that has been password protected to prevent printing, you will have to contact the author directly to request access.  If the author declines to give you the password, you will have to read it digitally without printing. 

2.3 - REFUNDS FOR FAILURE TO PRINT

The Library will not issue refunds related to printing issues because eBooks are electronic books that are not hard copies.  When you purchase an eBook, you are getting an electronic book with no additional guarantees. 


SECTION 3 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase the products or services listed in your order.

Shadowbanned Library reserves the right to accept or decline any order for any lawful reason in our sole discretion.

Your order is not accepted until Shadowbanned Library confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted.

Please review your order carefully before submitting it. Once an order has been accepted, we may be unable to accommodate cancellation or change requests.

If we do not accept an order, make a change to an order, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address, billing address, shipping address, or phone number provided when the order was placed.

Returns, refunds, exchanges, cancellations, and related matters are governed by our Refund Policy [LINK].

You represent and warrant that purchases made through the Services are for lawful purposes and will not be used in violation of applicable law.  


SECTION 4 - PRICES AND BILLING

Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice.

The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time your order is placed and will generally be shown in your order confirmation.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs duties, import charges, or other applicable fees.

Prices shown through the Services may differ from prices offered through third-party marketplaces, physical locations, promotional campaigns, affiliates, or other stores.

We may offer promotions from time to time. Promotions may be governed by separate terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between promotional terms and these Terms of Service, the promotional terms will govern regarding that promotion. 

Promotions have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made through the Services.

You agree to promptly update your account and payment information, including your email address, payment information, and expiration dates, so that we may complete transactions and contact you as needed.

You represent and warrant that:

  1. the payment information you provide is true, correct, and complete;

  2. you are authorized to use the payment method provided;

  3. charges incurred by you will be honored by your payment provider; and

  4. you will pay all charges incurred by you, including applicable taxes, shipping, handling, and other fees.


SECTION 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Shipping and delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

We are not liable for delays caused by shipping carriers, customs processing, incorrect shipping information, weather, labor disruptions, supply issues, natural disasters, government actions, or events outside of our reasonable control.

Once products are transferred to the shipping carrier, title and risk of loss pass to you unless otherwise required by applicable law.

You are responsible for providing accurate shipping information.  Should you provide incorrect information resulting in a misdelivered parcel, you will accept responsibility for the error.  


SECTION 6 - OPTIONAL THIRD-PARTY TOOLS

We may provide access to tools, features, integrations, software, platforms, or services offered by third parties.

We do not monitor, control, manage, or have input over such third-party tools unless expressly stated otherwise.

You acknowledge and agree that access to such tools may be provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind and without endorsement by Shadowbanned Library.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any harm, loss, claim, or damages arising from or related to your use of optional third-party tools.

Any use of optional third-party tools is entirely at your own risk and discretion.

You should review and understand the terms, privacy policies, and practices provided by the relevant third-party provider before using such tools.

We may introduce new features, tools, integrations, or resources in the future. Such features may also be considered part of the Services and subject to these Terms of Service.


SECTION 7 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS, WEBSITES, AND CONTENT

The Services may contain hyperlinks, embedded content, videos, advertisements, references, resources, social media posts, documents, applications, or other content that directs you to websites, platforms, products, services, or materials operated or provided by third parties.

Shadowbanned Library does not own or control third-party websites, platforms, or services and has no control over the information, statements, images, videos, advertisements, products, services, files, comments, links, materials, or other content that may appear on them.

A link or information appearing on Shadowbanned Library does not mean that we control, approve, endorse, verify, sponsor, recommend, or accept responsibility for the third party or any information appearing on the third party’s website, platform, or service.

Third-party websites may change their content at any time and without notice to us. A website or page that contained certain material when we originally linked to it may later contain different, inaccurate, offensive, unlawful, harmful, misleading, or otherwise objectionable material.

We have no obligation or ability to continuously monitor third-party websites for changes.

We are not responsible for examining, investigating, monitoring, or evaluating the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, safety, availability, reliability, privacy practices, security practices, policies, statements, claims, representations, or practices of any third-party website, platform, product, service, or material.

If you leave Shadowbanned Library by clicking or following a third-party link, you do so voluntarily and entirely at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Shadowbanned Library shall not be responsible or liable for any injury, harm, loss, damages, dispute, transaction, disclosure of information, malware, security issue, inaccurate information, offensive content, or other consequence resulting from your access to, interaction with, reliance upon, purchase from, or use of any third-party website, platform, product, service, resource, or content.

You should carefully review the applicable third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, refund policy, security practices, and other policies before providing personal information or completing any transaction.

Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products, services, websites, platforms, or content should be directed to the applicable third party.

Plain-Language Summary

As an example, if an eBook or article contains a link to a source and you choose to click that link and that website you visit contains malware, the Library has no control over this because the Library does not own that site.  You agree not to hold the Library responsible for something that happens on an unrelated website. 


SECTION 8 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

Shadowbanned Library is powered in part by Shopify, which helps us provide certain aspects of the Services. However, sales or purchases made through our store are made directly with Shadowbanned Library unless expressly stated otherwise.

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of a transaction between you and Shadowbanned Library, including any injury, damage, loss, or claim resulting from products or services purchased from us, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Shopify and its affiliates from claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases, transactions, or interactions with Shadowbanned Library for which Shopify is not legally responsible.


SECTION 9 - PRIVACY POLICY

All personal information we collect through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, available here: [LINK].

Certain personal information may also be subject to Shopify’s Privacy Policy or the privacy policies of other service providers used to operate the Services.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read our Privacy Policy and understand that information you submit through the Services may be transmitted to and processed by Shopify and other third-party service providers, including providers located outside your state, province, or country of residence.

Please review our Privacy Policy [LINK] for more information about how we and our service providers collect, use, process, and share personal information.


SECTION 10 - FEEDBACK AND USER SUBMISSIONS

If you submit, upload, post, email, publish, or otherwise transmit ideas, suggestions, reviews, proposals, plans, comments, writings, images, videos, or other feedback or materials, collectively referred to as “Feedback,” you grant Shadowbanned Library a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, display, perform, communicate, and create derivative works from such Feedback in any medium and for any lawful purpose, including commercial purposes.

You represent and warrant that:

  1. you own or possess all necessary rights to submit the Feedback;

  2. you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with your Feedback; and

  3. your Feedback complies with these Terms of Service.

We are under no obligation to maintain Feedback in confidence, pay compensation for Feedback, or respond to Feedback.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, edit, refuse, restrict, or remove Feedback that we determine, in our sole discretion, is unlawful, offensive, threatening, defamatory, obscene, infringing, misleading, harmful, or otherwise objectionable.

You agree that your Feedback will not violate the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other personal or proprietary rights.

You are solely responsible for your Feedback and its accuracy.

We assume no liability for Feedback submitted by you or any third party except as otherwise required by applicable law.


SECTION 11 - CONTENT CREATED BY AUTHORS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND THIRD PARTIES

Shadowbanned Library may publish, host, distribute, sell, archive, or provide access to information and content created by independent authors, researchers, instructors, speakers, hosts, guests, content creators, contributors, community members, or other third parties.

Statements, opinions, theories, conclusions, claims, recommendations, interpretations, and viewpoints expressed by such individuals belong strictly to the individual or entity expressing them. Their appearance on Shadowbanned Library does not mean that Shadowbanned Library agrees with, verifies, adopts, endorses, or guarantees those statements or viewpoints.

We do not guarantee that third-party or contributor-created content is accurate, complete, current, reliable, or suitable for any particular purpose. 

Shadowbanned Library does not fact-check, review, edit, or otherwise participate in the creation or revision of materials on this site.  That said, as a repository for materials, Shadowbanned Library may host materials that you do not like or agree with or may even find offensive.  Materials, especially older materials, may contain language that is insensitive based on modern-day thinking.  These materials are hosted for research purposes only, and the statements, opinions, theories, conclusions, claims, recommendations, interpretations, and viewpoints expressed in these materials belong to the individual or entity expressing them. Their appearance on Shadowbanned Library does not mean that Shadowbanned Library agrees with, verifies, adopts, endorses, or guarantees those statements or viewpoints. 

By agreeing to Terms, you agree that you will hold Shadowbanned Library free from all claims arising from the use of language, including insensitive, vulgar, or otherwise inappropriate language, in any publication on our site.   

11.1 No Financial or Investment Advice

Nothing contained in the Library constitutes financial, investment, securities, tax, accounting, insurance, retirement, banking, lending, credit, or other financial advice.

Publications may describe financial instruments, markets, investments, businesses, currencies, economic theories, tax systems, banking practices, securities,accounting principles, financial reporting, business practices, currencies, economic systems,  financial subjects or investment strategies that are obsolete, unavailable, or otherwise inappropriate. 

The Library does not recommend any investment, security, financial product, transaction, business opportunity, investment strategy, or financial decision.

Users should consult an appropriately qualified financial, investment, tax, accounting, or other professional before making financial decisions.

11.2 No Legal Advice

Nothing contained in the Library constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship.

The Library does not undertake to determine whether any statement contained in a Material is legally accurate or applicable.

Users should consult a qualified attorney regarding current legal questions or legal decisions.

11.3 No Scientific or Technical Advice

The Library may contain scientific, engineering, technological, anthropological, chemical, biological, environmental, agricultural, or other technical Materials.  The inclusion of such Materials does not constitute a representation that their scientific or technical conclusions are valid or remain valid. 

Users should not perform experiments, procedures, manufacture substances, ingest substances, operate equipment, construct devices, administer substances, or undertake other potentially hazardous activities solely on the basis of instructions contained in Materials.

Current authoritative sources and appropriately qualified professionals should be consulted before undertaking activities involving chemicals. 

11.4 User Responsibility

Users are solely responsible for determining whether information obtained from the Library is appropriate for their circumstances.

Users should independently verify information against current, authoritative sources before relying upon it, particularly when the subject involves health, medicine, law, finance, taxation, investment, safety, scientific procedures, or other matters where information could result in injury, financial loss, legal consequences, or other harm.


SECTION 12 - HISTORICAL MATERIALS

Historical materials may contain language, terminology, classifications, descriptions, illustrations, opinions, theories, beliefs, stereotypes, characterizations, or other representations that may be considered offensive, discriminatory, prejudicial, demeaning, disturbing, inaccurate, controversial, or objectionable under contemporary standards.

Such materials may include, without limitation, historical references or viewpoints concerning:

  • race, ethnicity, nationality, or ancestry;
  • religion or religious groups;
  • sex or gender;
  • political movements or political groups;
  • social classes;
  • disabilities or medical conditions;
  • indigenous peoples and other populations;
  • immigration and nationality;
  • war, violence, and political conflict;
  • colonialism and imperialism;
  • slavery and racial discrimination;
  • eugenics and other discredited theories;
  • medicine and medical practices;
  • mental health and psychiatric theories;
  • sexuality;
  • criminality and theories of human behavior;
  • pseudoscience or superseded scientific theories;
  • religious, political, or ideological extremism; and
  • other subjects that may reasonably cause offense or distress to contemporary readers.

The appearance of such material in the Library does not mean that the Library agrees with, approves of, supports, or endorses it.

12.1 No Endorsement of Historical Works

The Library does not endorse, adopt, approve, ratify, promote, or necessarily agree with the opinions, conclusions, theories, beliefs, allegations, descriptions, terminology, political positions, scientific claims, medical claims, religious positions, social theories, or other statements contained in any Material.

The inclusion of a particular work, author, publisher, organization, individual, theory, ideology, or viewpoint within the Library's collection is not evidence of endorsement by the Library.

A Material may be included because it is historically significant, representative of a particular period, relevant to scholarly research, useful as a primary source, difficult to otherwise obtain, or important to understanding ideas that existed at a particular point in history.

The Library may preserve and provide access to Materials with which the Library, its owners, operators, employees, contributors, users, or affiliates strongly disagree.

12.2 The Library Is Not the Author or Publisher

Unless expressly identified otherwise, the Library did not create, author, publish, the Materials made available through the Library.  As a repository for materials, the Library acts as a host only. 

Statements appearing within a book, article, pamphlet, newspaper, manuscript, or other Material are attributable to the author, publisher, organization, speaker, or other original source of that Material and not to the Library.

The act of digitizing, storing, cataloging, indexing, displaying, linking to, or providing access to a Material does not make the Library the author of that Material or the source of the opinions expressed within it.

The Library's provision of access to a Material should not be interpreted as a representation that the Library agrees with its contents.

12.3 Preservation Rather Than Editorial Revision

Historical Materials may be presented substantially in the form in which they were originally published or otherwise preserved.

Where appropriate, the Library may preserve original spelling, punctuation, terminology, typography, illustrations, classifications, descriptions, and other characteristics of historical Materials.

The Library does not have a general obligation to modernize, rewrite, sanitize, remove, replace, or otherwise alter language merely because such language may be considered offensive or objectionable.  This applies to all materials created by third parties, both historical and modern.

The preservation of historically objectionable language may itself be important to researchers seeking to understand the period, author, publication, institution, or social environment from which the Material originated.

Where the Library adds descriptive information, cataloging information, metadata, contextual notes, warnings, or annotations, such information is intended to assist users in understanding the Material and does not necessarily represent agreement with the underlying Material.  

If you are uncertain if a publication, be it historical or modern, could be offensive to you, you agree to research the publication and/or author prior to accessing such materials. 

12.4 Historical Context

Users are encouraged to consider each Material within its historical context.

The language and ideas contained within an historical work may reflect the knowledge, terminology, scientific understanding, cultural assumptions, social structures, political circumstances, and prevailing attitudes of the period in which the work was created.

Consequently, a historical statement may be:

  • obsolete;
  • scientifically superseded;
  • factually incorrect;
  • based upon assumptions later rejected;
  • culturally specific;
  • politically motivated;
  • prejudicial;
  • discriminatory;
  • satirical;
  • propagandistic;
  • speculative;
  • pseudoscientific; or
  • otherwise inconsistent with contemporary knowledge or standards.

The availability of such a statement within the Library does not constitute a representation by the Library that the statement is currently accurate.

12.5 Racist, Discriminatory, or Dehumanizing Language

Some historical works may contain racial slurs, discriminatory terminology, dehumanizing descriptions, stereotypes, or other language that is offensive by contemporary standards.

The Library may preserve such language where it forms part of the original historical record.

The Library does not endorse, adopt, or approve such language merely because it reproduces or makes the original Material accessible.

Removing historically significant language solely because it is offensive could alter the historical record and interfere with legitimate historical, academic, linguistic, journalistic, or scholarly research.

Users who encounter offensive terminology should understand that its presence reflects the underlying historical source and should not automatically be attributed to the Library.

12.6 Discredited Science and Historical Medical Theories

The Library may contain scientific and medical Materials reflecting theories, practices, classifications, or conclusions that have subsequently been rejected, revised, or superseded.

This may include historical Materials concerning diseases, medical treatments, public health, heredity, race, psychology, psychiatry, human biology, nutrition, genetics, pharmaceuticals, and other scientific or medical subjects.

The Library's preservation of such Materials is intended to document historical scientific and medical thought.

The Library does not represent that historical, scientific, or medical claims remain valid.

Nothing contained in a historical Material should be interpreted as medical, scientific, or health advice.

12.7 Allegations Concerning Individuals or Organizations

Historical Materials may contain allegations, accusations, criticisms, descriptions of misconduct, controversial characterizations, or other statements concerning individuals, organizations, governments, businesses, institutions, or other entities.

Such statements, whether historical or modern, are a part of the source material in which they appear.

The Library does not independently adopt, verify, or guarantee the truthfulness of every statement contained in historical or modern Materials.

The inclusion of an allegation within Material does not constitute an allegation independently made by the Library.

Where appropriate, users should consult multiple primary and secondary sources and consider the historical context when evaluating disputed claims.

12.8 No Obligation to Remove Material Because It Is Offensive

The Library does not generally remove material solely because an individual considers its contents offensive, controversial, politically incorrect, discriminatory, disturbing, or objectionable.

The Library may nevertheless remove, restrict, relocate, annotate, or otherwise modify access to a Material when we determine that doing so is appropriate, including for legal, technical, operational, copyright, privacy, safety, or other legitimate reasons.

Nothing in these Terms creates an obligation for the Library to retain any particular Material indefinitely.

12.9 User Discretion

Users are responsible for exercising their own judgment regarding which Materials they access.

If a user knows that particular subjects, terminology, images, or viewpoints may be disturbing or offensive to them, the user should exercise appropriate discretion before accessing Materials.

Users should not assume that every Material available through the Library has been reviewed, approved, fact-checked, modernized, or screened for offensive content.

12.10 Research and Educational Purpose

The Library believes that research, both historical and modern, may require access to primary sources and materials representing a broad range of viewpoints, including viewpoints that are unpopular, offensive, discredited, or inconsistent with contemporary values.

The ability to examine ideas does not require agreement with those ideas.

Access to source material may be necessary to understand how particular beliefs developed, how institutions operated, how propaganda was constructed, how scientific theories evolved, how social attitudes changed, and how historical events were understood by people living at the time.

The library, therefore, seeks, where legally and practically appropriate, to preserve access to Materials rather than selectively presenting only Materials whose language or viewpoints conform to present-day standards.


SECTION 13 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES, AND OMISSIONS

Occasionally, information on or through the Services may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, omissions, outdated information, or other errors relating to product descriptions, content, pricing, promotions, offers, shipping charges, transit times, availability, historical information, schedules, or other matters.

We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update information or cancel orders if information is inaccurate, at any time and without prior notice, including after you have submitted an order, subject to applicable law.

We undertake no obligation to update, amend, or clarify information except as required by law.

13.1 No Reliance on the Library's Inclusion of Material

The fact that a Material has been selected, cataloged, digitized, displayed, or made searchable by the Library should not be understood as a representation that the Material is:

(a) factually accurate;

(b) historically complete;

(c) scientifically valid;

(d) medically appropriate;

(e) legally accurate;

(f) morally acceptable;

(g) free from offensive content;

(h) free from bias;

(i) currently relevant; or

(j) endorsed by the Library.

The Library's primary purpose in providing access to Materials is preservation and information access.

13.2 Plain-Language Summary

For clarity, we preserve and provide access to historical books and other Materials. We do not endorse what those Materials say, and we do not provide professional advice merely because a book discusses a particular subject.  For example:

A book published in 1890 saying that leeches cure a particular illness is being provided because it is a historical document—not because the Library believes leeches are an appropriate modern treatment.

A book published in 1920 describing an investment strategy is not a recommendation to use that strategy today.

A book published in 1910 describing the law of its time is not a statement of current law.

A book published in 1900 describing a scientific theory is not a representation that the theory remains scientifically accepted.

Historical preservation does not equal endorsement. Providing access does not equal recommending. Reproducing a historical statement does not make that statement the Library's own statement.

Equally, an author stating something is good or bad does not mean it is good or bad.  We believe in freedom of speech and preservation of materials. 

A title being included in the Library does not mean the Library supports all materials that author has produced. 

An author being featured on this site, whether in a publication, on a web banner, on a podcast, in a class or tutorial, or otherwise showcased, does not mean the Library supports their content or supports all content which they have ever created.  Authors are independent parties and do not represent the views of the Library.

As a Library, it is our duty to make Materials accessible.  It is your duty to exercise caution when viewing the Materials and consult professionals and authoritative sources when needed. 


SECTION 14 - MEDICAL AND HEALTH DISCLAIMER

NOTHING AVAILABLE THROUGH SHADOWBANNED LIBRARY IS INTENDED TO BE, OR SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS, MEDICAL ADVICE.

All information, articles, books, eBooks, videos, livestreams, podcasts, interviews, classes, courses, presentations, comments, discussions, product descriptions, community posts, third-party materials, opinions, recommendations, protocols, testimonials, statements, and other content appearing on or accessible through the Services are provided for general informational, educational, historical, commentary, or entertainment purposes only.

Such content is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, prescription, or individualized healthcare recommendations.

Nothing appearing on the Services creates or is intended to create a physician-patient, doctor-patient, therapist-patient, pharmacist-patient, healthcare-provider-patient, or other professional healthcare relationship between you and Shadowbanned Library; any content creator, author, contributor, instructor, speaker, host, guest, vendor, or other person appearing through the Services.

You should never use information obtained through Shadowbanned Library as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified healthcare professional who is familiar with your individual circumstances.

Do not disregard, avoid, or delay obtaining professional medical advice because of something you have read, heard, watched, purchased, downloaded, or otherwise encountered through the Services.

Health, medical, nutrition, supplement, wellness, medication, treatment, disease, injury, emergency medicine, environmental exposure, and similar topics may be discussed through the Services. The inclusion of such information does not constitute an endorsement, prescription, diagnosis, treatment plan, or representation that the information is appropriate or safe for any particular individual.

Individual circumstances vary. Information that may be appropriate for one person may be inappropriate, ineffective, or harmful for another person.

Any decision concerning your health, medication, supplements, treatment, diagnosis, diet, medical procedure, or healthcare should be made in consultation with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency services or an appropriate medical professional immediately.

Shadowbanned Library does not independently verify medical, scientific, health, nutritional, pharmaceutical, or wellness-related claims made by authors, speakers, contributors, third parties, or other persons whose content appears through the Services.

Any views, statements, recommendations, claims, opinions, experiences, or conclusions expressed by a content creator, author, guest, instructor, contributor, or third party are their own and should not be interpreted as medical advice from Shadowbanned Library.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you assume responsibility for how you choose to use or rely upon health- or medical-related information obtained through the Services.


SECTION 15 - EVENTS, CLASSES, SPEAKERS, PODCASTS

Shadowbanned Library offers classes, tutorials, podcasts, and other audiovisual materials.  The material being presented is not screened or otherwise reviewed by Shadowbanned Library.  

Even if the event itself is advertised, the Library does not endorse any specific content.  The purpose of the advertisement is strictly to raise awareness regarding materials available within the site. The Library advertising an individual, podcast, class, tutorial, or other audiovisual production does not mean the Library agrees with the content they produce or will be producing on a specified date.

Each presenter is responsible for the content they broadcast, and the Library makes no claims to its accuracy or reliability.  Users should always do their own research and consult a professional, especially on topics of importance.  

Users are responsible for exercising caution regarding which Materials they access.

Users agree to consume content at their own risk.

SECTION 16 - PROHIBITED USES

You may access and use the Services only for lawful purposes.

You may not access or use the Services, directly or indirectly:

(a) for any unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or malicious purpose;

(b) to violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or ordinance;

(d) to harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against any person;

(n) to interfere with, bypass, circumvent, defeat, or attempt to defeat security features, authorization controls, robot exclusion headers, access restrictions, or other measures used to restrict access to the Services; or

(o) to use the Services in a manner that could disable, overburden, damage, impair, or interfere with their proper operation.

We reserve the right to suspend, disable, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services at any time if we determine that you have violated these Terms.


SECTION 17 - AGENTS AND AUTOMATED ACCESS

This section applies if you use, allow, enable, direct, or cause the deployment of any agent, bot, crawler, scraper, automated tool, artificial intelligence system, or similar software to access, use, or interact with the Services.

For purposes of these Terms, “Agent” means any software, system, program, or service that takes autonomous or semi-autonomous action on behalf of, or at the instruction of, any person or entity and that can be executed without continuous direct human supervision.

No Agent may access, use, or interact with the Services unless it clearly identifies itself and operates in strict accordance with these Terms and any additional technical restrictions established by Shadowbanned Library.

We may restrict, block, limit, throttle, or otherwise control whether and how any Agent accesses, uses, indexes, reproduces, collects, or interacts with the Services.

Agents must:

  1. identify themselves in HTTP/HTTPS requests by including “Agent/[agent name]” or another identifier approved by us in the request’s user-agent string;

  2. not conceal or obscure that access or interaction is being performed by an Agent;

  3. not mimic human behavior or interaction patterns for the purpose of avoiding detection;

  4. not complete, bypass, circumvent, or defeat CAPTCHAs or other measures intended to distinguish humans from automated systems;

  5. respond truthfully to any prompt or mechanism seeking to determine whether interactions are coming from a human or automated system; and

  6. not bypass, avoid, circumvent, reverse engineer, or interfere with any technical measure used to block, limit, modify, monitor, or control Agent access to the Services.

Permission to access the Services using an Agent may be revoked at any time.


SECTION 18 - TERMINATION

We may terminate these Terms or your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time and in our sole discretion, with or without notice, subject to applicable law.

The following provisions will survive termination to the extent applicable: Intellectual Property, Feedback and User Submissions, Medical and Health Disclaimer, Third-Party Links, Termination, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Severability, Waiver, Entire Agreement, Assignment, Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Privacy Policy, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination.


SECTION 19 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

The information presented through the Services is provided for general informational purposes unless expressly stated otherwise.

We do not warrant or represent the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, usefulness, appropriateness, or suitability of information provided through the Services.

Any reliance you place upon information available through the Services is at your own discretion and risk.

Except as expressly stated by Shadowbanned Library and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Services and all products, content, information, and services offered through the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without any representation, warranty, or condition of any kind, either express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Shadowbanned Library disclaims all warranties and conditions, express or implied, including implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee, represent, or warrant that:

  1. your use of the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;

  2. information obtained through the Services will be accurate or reliable;

  3. defects or errors will be corrected;

  4. the Services will always remain available;

  5. the Services will be free of viruses or other harmful components; or

  6. any result obtained from use of the Services will meet your expectations.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or certain exclusions, so some of the above disclaimers may not apply to you.


SECTION 20 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no case shall Shadowbanned Library, our partners, owners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, authors, contributors, service providers, licensors, suppliers, Shopify, or Shopify’s affiliates be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary, special, consequential, or similar damages of any kind arising from or related to your use of the Services.

This includes, without limitation, damages arising from:

  • use of or reliance upon content appearing through the Services;

  • health, wellness, medical, nutritional, or other information;

  • third-party links, websites, platforms, content, products, or services;

  • products or services purchased through the Services;

  • unauthorized access to or alteration of your information;

  • interruption or loss of access to the Services;

  • loss of profits;

  • loss of revenue;

  • loss of savings;

  • loss of business opportunity;

  • loss of data;

  • replacement costs; or

  • similar damages.

This limitation applies whether liability is based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or otherwise and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.


SECTION 21 - INDEMNIFICATION

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Shadowbanned Library, Shopify, and our respective affiliates, partners, owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, suppliers, and representatives from and against losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, proceedings, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to:

  1. your breach of these Terms of Service or any documents incorporated by reference;

  2. your violation of any applicable law or regulation;

  3. your violation of the rights of a third party;

  4. content or materials you submit through the Services; or

  5. your access to or use of the Services.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of an indemnifiable claim.

A failure to provide prompt notice will not relieve you of your obligations unless you are materially prejudiced by the delay.

We may control the defense and settlement of an indemnified claim at your expense, including the selection of counsel, where permitted by applicable law.

We will not settle a claim requiring non-monetary obligations from you without your consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

You agree to reasonably cooperate in the defense of indemnified claims, including by providing relevant documents and information.


SECTION 22 - SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall nevertheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

The unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms of Service, and such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.


SECTION 23 - WAIVER; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

These Terms of Service, together with any policies, rules, disclosures, notices, or operating rules posted by us through the Services, constitute the entire agreement between you and Shadowbanned Library concerning your use of the Services.

These Terms supersede prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, representations, and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and Shadowbanned Library concerning the subject matter of these Terms, including prior versions of these Terms.

Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not automatically be construed against the drafting party.


SECTION 24 - ASSIGNMENT

You may not delegate, transfer, or assign these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

Any attempted assignment without required consent may be null and void.

We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations to the extent permitted by applicable law.


SECTION 25 - GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby Shadowbanned Library provides you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

In the event of a dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, a transaction, or the relationship between you and Shadowbanned Library, the parties agree to first make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties agree to submit the dispute to non-binding mediation before a neutral mediator located in or serving Benicia, California, unless otherwise required or prohibited by applicable law.

The mediation shall take place in Benicia, California, or remotely by mutual agreement of the parties.

The parties shall cooperate in selecting a mutually acceptable mediator.

Unless otherwise agreed, each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees, and the parties shall share the mediator’s fees equally.

Mediation is intended to help the parties attempt to reach a voluntary resolution. The mediator shall not have authority to impose a decision on either party.

Any settlement reached through mediation must be in writing and signed by the parties to be binding.

If mediation does not resolve the dispute, either party may pursue available remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking temporary, emergency, preliminary, or injunctive relief where necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information, security, or other legal rights.


SECTION 26 - HEADINGS

The headings used in these Terms are included for convenience only and will not limit, modify, or otherwise affect the interpretation of these Terms.


SECTION 27 - CHANGES TO TERMS OF SERVICE

You may review the most current version of these Terms of Service at any time on this page.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to update, change, modify, or replace any part of these Terms by posting updated Terms through the Services.

It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms for changes.

We will provide notice of material changes where required by applicable law.

Changes will become effective on the date specified in the notice or, if no date is specified, when the updated Terms are posted.

Your continued access to or use of the Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those changes to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Services.
