Terms & Conditions

These are the terms that apply when you visit inmicaswords.com, the official website of author Mica Boyd Johnston. They're written to be read, not to be impenetrable. By using the site, you agree to them.

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and by our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree with any part of them, please stop using the site.

Who we are

This site is operated by Wander Tribe, LLC ("we," "us," "our"). The books, poems, essays, and photographs published here are the work of Mica Boyd Johnston. You can reach us at wandertribellc@gmail.com.

Content & ownership

All text, book excerpts, poems, photographs, artwork, and other materials on this site are the property of Mica Boyd Johnston and Wander Tribe, LLC unless otherwise noted, and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Book titles, cover designs, and the site's branding belong to us as well.

Personal, non-commercial reading and sharing is welcome.
Quoting a short excerpt in a review, article, or classroom is fine — please credit the author and link back where you can.
Commercial use, reproduction, republication, or redistribution requires written permission first.

Permitted use & prohibited conduct

You're welcome to read, browse, bookmark, and share links. You may not:

copy, scrape, harvest, or systematically download the contents of this site, whether by hand or with automated tools, bots, or crawlers;
use any material from this site to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop machine learning or artificial intelligence systems, or for text and data mining of any kind, without our express written permission;
republish the writing or photography here — in whole or in substantial part — on another website, in print, or in any other medium;
remove or obscure any copyright notice, byline, or attribution;
attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems, or interfere with its normal operation;
use the contact form to send spam, bulk solicitations, or unlawful, abusive, or infringing material.

The permission to read and share this site is a limited licence, not a transfer of any rights, and we may withdraw it.

Purchases & third-party retailers

Books are sold through third-party retailers such as Amazon and Lulu. Nothing is sold on this site — there is no cart, no checkout, and no payment processing here. When you follow an order link, you leave this site, and your purchase is governed entirely by that retailer's terms, pricing, availability, shipping, and return policies.

Any prices, formats, or availability mentioned here are for information only and may be out of date; the retailer's own page is authoritative. We can't help with an order, a delivery, or a refund from a retailer — you'll need to contact them directly.

External links

This site links to third-party websites, including retailers and social media platforms. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy, security, or practices. A link is not an endorsement. Review their terms and policies before relying on them.

If you sign up for the newsletter, you're asking us to email you occasionally about new books, travels, and writing. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any mailing, or by emailing us. Please sign up only with an address you control.

What you send us

We're glad to hear from readers. But please don't send confidential information, and please don't send unsolicited manuscripts, story ideas, or creative proposals — we can't accept them, and we won't be able to treat them as confidential or agree to compensate you for them. If you send us feedback or suggestions anyway, you agree we may use them freely without obligation to you.

You're responsible for what you send, and you confirm you have the right to send it.

Disclaimer

This website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," for general informational and entertainment purposes. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

The travel writing and photography here describe personal experience. It isn't travel, safety, legal, financial, or medical advice, and conditions on the ground change — do your own research before you go.

Memoir is written from memory. Accounts of real events reflect the author's recollection and perspective; some names and details may have been changed.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wander Tribe, LLC, Mica Boyd Johnston, and anyone working with them will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of your use of — or inability to use — this site. Our total liability for any claim relating to this site is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Wander Tribe, LLC and Mica Boyd Johnston from any claims, losses, or reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of this site, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of anyone else's rights.

Copyright complaints

We respect copyright and expect the same. If you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, email wandertribellc@gmail.com with: your contact details; identification of the work you say is infringed; the URL of the material in question; a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized; a statement that the information in your notice is accurate; and your physical or electronic signature. We'll review and remove infringing material where appropriate.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with a revised date at the top, and take effect when posted. Continuing to use the site afterward means you accept the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising out of these terms or your use of this site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our not enforcing a provision on one occasion isn't a waiver of it.
