Terms of sale
The terms that apply when you buy e-books or print books from this website.
Last updated: 13 November 2026
1. Who we are and who may buy
These terms apply to every purchase from this website, made with Sophie Linden, an imprint of SeekFirst Studio (“we”, “us”). By ordering you confirm that you are 18 or older, or have your guardian’s consent. Our contact details are at the bottom of this page.
2. What you are buying
E-books: a personal, non-transferable licence to read the book, not ownership of the file or the text. The licence terms are in our E-book licence, which forms part of these terms.
Print books: the physical copy. Ownership and risk pass to you on delivery. See Print orders and shipping.
Availability: some titles are sold only on Amazon. Those are shown with a link to Amazon and cannot be bought here.
3. Prices, errors and payment
3.1 All prices are in US dollars. We are not registered for VAT, so no VAT is added to the prices shown. Delivery fees for print are shown at checkout. If you are outside South Africa, you are responsible for any import duties or taxes in your country.
3.2 If we find a pricing or description error, we will contact you before charging, and you may cancel for a full refund.
3.3 Payment is processed securely by our payment provider, Payhip, using its payment partners such as PayPal and card processors. We never see or store your full card number.
4. Delivery
E-books are delivered by download link right after payment clears. If you do not receive it within 24 hours, email us. Print books are printed and posted by Bookvault; processing times, shipping and lost-parcel rules are in Print orders and shipping.
5. Cancellations, returns and refunds
These are set out in full in Refunds and returns, which forms part of these terms. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) or the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 (ECTA).
6. Your information
How we handle your personal information, and your rights, are in our Privacy notice. You can unsubscribe from marketing at any time.
7. Complaints and disputes
Email us and we will reply within 5 business days. Nothing in these terms removes your right to approach the National Consumer Commission, the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud, or a court.
8. General
South African law applies. If any clause is invalid, the rest stands. These terms, the E-book licence, the Refunds and returns page, the Print orders and shipping page and the Privacy notice together are the whole agreement.
