The agreement between you and Ruth‑Ann Thompson Corporation when you use this site or buy a book. Last updated 16 August 2026.
This site is operated by Ruth‑Ann Thompson Corporation. Throughout these terms, "we" and "us" mean that company, and "you" means anyone visiting the site or placing an order.
By using ruth-annthompson.com you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
You can reach us any time at Info@ruthannthompson.com or Office (614) 568‑3492.
Prices are shown in US dollars and are set on this site. When you place an order, the price charged is the price recorded here at that moment, not a figure supplied by your browser.
We may correct an obvious pricing or description error before shipping an order. If that happens we will contact you first and you may cancel for a full refund.
Placing an order is an offer to buy. Your order is accepted when we send the confirmation email for it.
The books, text, photographs, artwork and design on this site are the property of Ruth‑Ann Thompson or are used with permission. Copyright in the books remains with the author.
You may quote short passages with attribution, as anyone may. You may not reproduce, resell, redistribute or republish a book or a substantial part of one without written permission.
Digital books are licensed for your own personal reading. Please do not share the download link or the file — a copy passed on is a copy not bought, and the whole catalogue comes from one person.
A booking enquiry sent through this site is a request, not a confirmed engagement. Dates, fees and arrangements are agreed separately in writing.
We will reply to enquiries as promptly as we can, but sending one does not hold a date.
Ruth‑Ann's books and talks draw on lived experience of grief, kinship care, disability and loss. They are offered as encouragement and companionship. They are not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, and they are not a substitute for professional care.
If you are in crisis, please contact a qualified professional or emergency services in your area.
We keep this site running as reliably as we can, but we do not guarantee it will always be available or free of errors.
To the fullest extent the law allows, our liability arising from your use of this site or from any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order.
Nothing in these terms limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law, including your rights as a consumer.
We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed, and the version published here at the time of your order is the one that applies to it.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
