Who we are

The site is run by Earthly Enigmas LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. Contact: chris@earthlyenigmas.org.

Using the site

You may read the site, buy products, and share links to our pages for personal, non-commercial use. Please do not copy the site, scrape it, interfere with it, or use it for anything unlawful.

Content and credits

The articles, the book, and the site design belong to Earthly Enigmas LLC and its authors. Images on the site are used with credit to their sources, and some belong to others under their own licenses. Credits and links are shown with the images. You may quote short passages with a link back to the page. For other uses, please ask first.

Our articles and book discuss history, archaeology, and open questions. They are for education and curiosity. We work to be accurate, and we invite you to check the sources we cite.

Products and orders

  • Merchandise is made to order and shipped by Printful. Books are printed on demand and shipped by Lulu. Their production, quality, and shipping terms apply to your order.
  • We ship within the United States only. Prices are in U.S. dollars.
  • Taxes and shipping are shown at checkout before you pay.
  • Colors on screen can differ a little from the printed product.
  • An order is accepted when we send an order confirmation. We may cancel and refund an order if there is a pricing error or suspected fraud.
  • Delivery times shown at checkout are estimates, not promises.

Returns and refunds are covered in our Refund Policy.

Free materials

Free materials we publish, such as companion e-books, may be shared under the license stated in the document itself. Where no license is stated, all rights are reserved.

Our responsibility

We provide the site and its content “as is.” We do not promise it will always be available or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses from using the site. Our total responsibility for any order is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing here limits rights you have under the law that cannot be waived.

Links to other sites

We link to outside sites and sources. We do not control them and are not responsible for what they say or do.

Governing law

These terms follow the laws of the State of Colorado, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the state and federal courts located in Colorado, unless the law where you live says otherwise.

Changes

We may update these terms. The version posted here, with its date, is the one that applies.
