PRODUCTS
Us, Actually offers physical letters and accompanying materials intended to provide thoughtful editorial content, encouragement, entertainment, and connection.
The contents of each issue may vary. Product photographs, previews, and descriptions are provided to represent the general nature of the product but may not show every item included in a particular issue.
Our letters and other content are not medical, psychological, legal, financial, or other professional advice and should not be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

By placing an order, you agree that:
- The order information and mailing address you provide are complete and accurate.
- You are authorized to use the payment method submitted.
- You will pay the displayed purchase price and any applicable taxes.
- We may contact you about the order using the information provided at checkout.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order because of suspected fraud, payment problems, product unavailability, pricing errors, or other legitimate operational concerns. If we cancel a paid order, we will refund the applicable amount to the original payment method.

Prices and product availability may change without notice. The price presented at checkout is the price charged for that order, excluding applicable taxes.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, prices, and other website information are accurate. If we discover a material error affecting an order, we may contact you for instructions or cancel and refund the affected order.
SHIPPING
We currently ship within the United States only. Shipping schedules, address requirements, delays, and missing-mail procedures are described in our Shipping Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND LINKS
Our store is hosted by Shopify and may use other third-party providers for payments, shipping, analytics, and related services. Third-party websites and services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices.

GOVERNING LAW
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Nothing in this provision deprives a consumer of protections that apply under the laws of the consumer’s jurisdiction.
CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. The revised version will be posted on this website with an updated effective date.
Changes apply prospectively and do not alter the material terms of an order already placed unless required by law or agreed to by the purchaser.
SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
NO WAIVER
Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.
