Terms

Short, in plain language, and written to be read rather than clicked past.

Who you’re dealing with

Prices are in US dollars. Applicable sales tax is calculated and collected at checkout by the merchant of record.

Payment and the seller of record

Payment is processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record for the transaction. Lemon Squeezy is the seller for tax purposes, appears on your statement, and handles payment processing and tax remittance. Your purchase is also subject to their buyer terms.

What this book is, and is not

It is educational commentary on published behavioural-science research. It is not medical, psychological, therapeutic or legal advice, and it is not a substitute for a qualified professional.

No outcome is promised, guaranteed or implied. The effects described are population-level averages with wide individual variation, and several are explicitly labelled in the text as contested or unreplicated. You are responsible for your own conduct and for complying with the law where you live, including the criminal law governing consent.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the author and publisher disclaim liability for any loss or harm arising from use of this material.

Email

Commercial email is sent only with your express consent, identifies the sender, carries our mailing address, and includes a one-click unsubscribe that stays functional for at least 60 days — as Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation requires. Personal information is handled under PIPEDA; see the privacy page.

Changes

If these terms change, the updated date below changes with them. Changes are not applied retroactively to purchases already made.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of New Brunswick and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
