Terms and Conditions

Draft for review before launch. Effective January 1, 2027.

TauPublishing.com, including the Franciscan Journey Gift Shop, is run by Tau Publishing, LLC of Carmel, Indiana (“Tau Publishing,” “we”). By ordering from this site you agree to these terms.

Orders and prices

• Prices are in U.S. dollars. We may change prices at any time; you pay the price shown when you place your order.
• Your order is accepted when we send your order confirmation. If an item is unavailable or a price was listed in error, we will let you know and refund anything you paid for it.
• Promo codes and gift cards follow the terms shown with them, cannot be combined unless stated, and have no cash value.
• Indiana sales tax is added where the law requires it.

Payment

Payments are handled by PayPal. You can pay with a PayPal account or a card without one.

Book discount

Buy 3 or more books in one order, in any mix of titles and formats, and save 20% on the books. The discount is applied automatically at checkout.

Shipping

• We ship within the United States only.
• Orders ship within 3 days. We typically ship individual orders by USPS Media Mail or Parcel Select. Please allow 7–10 business days for delivery.
• Shipping is a flat rate: $5.25 for one item, $8.00 for two or more items.
• Orders of $50.00 or more ship free (the order total after any discount).
• Ebooks are delivered by download and have no shipping charge.

Ebooks

• Ebooks (EPUB and PDF) are delivered by a personal download link sent after payment. The link expires; if you need it again, write to us and we will resend it.
• An ebook is for your own personal use. Please do not share, copy, resell or post it.
• Because ebooks are delivered right away, ebook sales are final. If a file will not open or is damaged, contact us and we will replace it or refund you.

Returns and credits

• Our books are printed on demand, so we do not accept returns, except for damaged or defective merchandise.
• Please contact us within 3 business days of receipt of your items to report any damage, and we will make it right with a replacement or a credit.
• Handmade items such as stoneware mugs and candles vary a little from piece to piece; that is part of their character and not a defect.

Wholesale orders

We offer trade discounts to bookstores and gift shops. Please contact us to set up a wholesale account. We ship all wholesale orders by UPS small package delivery.

Our content

The text, cover art, photographs and Look Inside pages on this site belong to Tau Publishing or its authors and artists. You may share links, but please do not copy or republish them without permission.

Limits

We do our best to describe every product accurately and keep the site running. To the extent the law allows, our responsibility for any order is limited to the amount you paid for it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana.

Changes

We may update these terms; the version posted here when you order is the one that applies.
