Website Terms of Use

Last updated: 29 August 2026

These Website Terms of Use explain the rules that apply when you
visit or use
https://kelliekennedy.com.

The website is operated by Victoria Kennedy, writing as Kellie
Kennedy. In these terms, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Victoria
Kennedy, and “you” and “your” refer to a visitor or user of the
website.

By using the website, you agree to comply with these terms. If you
do not agree with them, please stop using the website.

1. About the website

The website provides information about Kellie Kennedy, her books,
forthcoming publications, newsletters and related author
activities.

The website may contain romance-related material and information
about books that include adult themes. The website itself is not
intended to contain explicit adult material.

These terms apply only to use of this website. They do not govern
purchases made through Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google
Play or another third-party retailer.

2. No direct sales through the website

Books and other products cannot currently be purchased directly
from this website. Selecting a retailer link will take you to a
website operated by an independent third party.

Any purchase is made between you and the relevant retailer. The
retailer is responsible for:

• Product availability.
• Prices and taxes.
• Taking and processing payment.
• Delivery or digital fulfilment.
• Returns, cancellations and refunds.
• Customer service relating to the purchase.

You should review the retailer’s own terms, privacy information
and returns policy before completing a purchase.

3. Affiliate disclosure

Some links to books, retailers or other products may be affiliate
links. This means we may receive a commission if you follow a link
and make a qualifying purchase.

Using an affiliate link should not increase the price you pay.
Affiliate relationships do not guarantee or influence the
availability, quality or suitability of a product or retailer.

Where reasonably practical, affiliate links or sections
containing affiliate links will be identified on the relevant
page.

Book covers, retailer logos, publishing marks, quotations and
other third-party materials may belong to their respective
copyright or trade-mark owners.

You may view the website and make a reasonable number of copies
for your personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce,
republish, sell, license, distribute, modify or commercially
exploit website content without prior written permission, unless
the law expressly permits the proposed use.

Sharing a link to a publicly accessible page is permitted,
provided the link is not misleading and does not suggest an
endorsement, partnership or association that does not exist.

• Defamatory or knowingly false statements.
• Unlawful discrimination or hateful content.
• Obscene material unrelated to the discussion.
• Spam, undisclosed advertising or repetitive links.

We may moderate, edit, refuse, close or remove comments where we
reasonably believe this is necessary to protect the website,
other visitors or third parties. We are not required to publish
every submitted comment.

7. Rights in submitted comments

You retain ownership of the original content of a comment you
submit.

By submitting a comment, you give us a non-exclusive,
royalty-free permission to store, reproduce and display the
comment on the website, and to make reasonable formatting or
moderation edits. This permission continues while the comment is
published.

You confirm that you have the right to submit the comment and that
its publication will not infringe another person’s rights.

You may ask for a comment to be reviewed or removed by contacting
us. Removal requests will be considered in light of applicable
legal obligations and legitimate interests.

8. Newsletter

Visitors may choose to subscribe to newsletters and author
updates. Newsletter subscriptions use a double opt-in process.

You can unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link
included in an email. Details about newsletter information and
tracking are available in the
Privacy Policy.

9. External websites and services

The website may link to or display content from third-party
websites and services, including retailers, publishers, YouTube,
Facebook and Instagram.

External websites are not controlled by us. A link or embed does
not necessarily mean that we endorse every statement, product,
service or policy offered by the third party.

We are not responsible for the availability, security, content,
pricing or privacy practices of an external website. You access
third-party websites at your own discretion and subject to their
own terms.

10. Accuracy of information

We take reasonable care when preparing information for the
website. However, book titles, descriptions, publication dates,
cover images, prices, retailer availability and event information
may change.

We do not guarantee that every piece of information will always be
complete, accurate or current. Retailer information should be
confirmed on the relevant retailer’s website before making a
purchase.

We may correct, update or remove website content without prior
notice.

11. General information only

Website content is provided for general information and
entertainment. It is not legal, financial, medical or other
professional advice and should not be relied upon as such.

References to fictional stories, characters, relationships,
locations or events are not instructions or professional
recommendations.

12. Website availability

We aim to keep the website available and working correctly, but
continuous or uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed.

Access may be interrupted by maintenance, security work, hosting
problems, updates or circumstances outside our reasonable
control. We may suspend or change any part of the website where
reasonably necessary.

13. Viruses and security

Reasonable measures are used to maintain the website’s security.
However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to
be completely secure or free from harmful code.

You are responsible for using appropriate security software,
maintaining backups and configuring your device safely when using
the internet.

14. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so
would be unlawful. This includes liability for:

• Death or personal injury caused by negligence.
• Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
• Breach of legal rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or
  restricted.

If you are using the website as a consumer, we are responsible for
loss or damage that is a foreseeable result of our failure to use
reasonable care and skill or our breach of these terms.

We are not responsible for loss or damage that is not reasonably
foreseeable, results from circumstances outside our reasonable
control, or is caused by an independent third-party website or
retailer.

The website is provided primarily for personal and domestic use.
If you use it for a business or commercial purpose, we are not
responsible for loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity,
anticipated savings, goodwill or business interruption, to the
extent permitted by law.

15. Privacy and cookies

Information about how personal information is handled is available
in the
Privacy Policy.

Information about cookies and similar technologies is available
in the
Cookie Policy.

Cookie choices can be reviewed or changed through the website’s
Cookie Settings or Manage Cookies control.

16. Suspension and restriction

We may restrict access, block submissions or take other reasonable
protective action where a visitor:

• Seriously or repeatedly breaches these terms.
• Attempts to compromise the website’s security.
• Uses the website unlawfully.
• Harasses another visitor or website administrator.
• Sends spam or abusive submissions.

Any action taken will be proportionate to the circumstances where
reasonably possible.

17. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated to reflect changes to the website,
applicable law or the services we provide.

The updated terms will be published on this page with a revised
“Last updated” date. Changes will apply from the date they are
published and will not retrospectively alter a completed purchase
made through an external retailer.

18. If part of these terms is unenforceable

If a court or other competent authority finds that part of these
terms is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will
continue to apply.

19. No waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these terms, this
does not mean that we have waived the right to enforce it later.

20. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the applicable law of the part of the
United Kingdom in which Victoria Kennedy is ordinarily resident,
subject to any mandatory rights available to consumers.

If you are a consumer, you retain the right to bring proceedings
in any court that has jurisdiction under applicable consumer law,
including where applicable the courts in the part of the United
Kingdom where you live.

Before starting formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us
so that we can try to resolve the issue informally.
