Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") describe the agreement between you and Black Dog Books ("we," "us," or "our") regarding your use of our website, online store, and in-person services at our bookstore in Tucker, Georgia.

By visiting our site, placing an order, or participating in our memberships or events, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or services.

Using Our Website & Store

You agree to use our website and bookstore only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe on the rights of others or restrict their enjoyment of the site or shop.

You are responsible for keeping your account information, including your password, confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Purchases, Pricing & Payments

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are subject to change without notice. We do our best to keep pricing and availability accurate, but errors may occur. If we find an error in your order, we will contact you to discuss options before proceeding.

Online payments are processed through our third-party payment provider (such as Stripe). By submitting a payment, you authorize the provider to charge your selected payment method for the total order amount, including any applicable taxes and shipping.

Shipping, Pickup & Delivery

During checkout, we may offer options such as in-store pickup or shipping to your address. Any shipping estimates are provided for convenience and are not guaranteed delivery dates.

Risk of loss for items passes to you when the order is delivered to the carrier or picked up in the shop. Please inspect your order promptly and contact us if there are any issues.

Returns & Refunds

Our returns and refunds practices may vary by item and condition. We aim to be fair and straightforward, especially with damaged or mis-shipped items. For specific questions about returns or exchanges, please reach out before sending anything back.

Any applicable return, exchange, or refund policies posted in-store or on our website are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Memberships & Discounts

If you join a membership program or subscription offered by Black Dog Books, additional terms may apply, such as membership duration, billing frequency, benefits, and cancellation rules. Those membership-specific details will be provided at sign-up and are part of these Terms.

We may update or discontinue membership offerings from time to time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify active members of any significant changes that affect their benefits.
