The website does not currently operate its own checkout or take payment. Book purchases take place through independent retailers under their own contractual terms.

Additional identification or postal details required for a specific lawful request, authority, or verified contractual process can be requested through the electronic contact above.

Purpose

The site presents books, current projects, extracts, essays, publishing information, rights availability, review-copy routes, press materials, and contact channels connected to M. J. Stokknes and Stokknes Publishing House.

Acceptable use

Visitors may browse, link to public pages, and quote limited portions where permitted by law and accurately attributed. Visitors may not impersonate the author or publisher, falsely present altered material as authentic, interfere with the site, bypass access controls, introduce malicious code, or use the site to violate the rights of others.

Intellectual property

Unless expressly stated otherwise, original text, branding, photographs, artwork, downloadable material, design elements, and other original material are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Public availability does not transfer ownership or grant a general licence for republication, commercial exploitation, misleading attribution, or unauthorized adaptation.

Rights and permission requests should use the Rights & Editions page.

Fiction and resemblance

Works identified as fiction use invented, transformed, combined, or fictionalized characters, dialogue, institutions, and events. Real places, professions, systems, technologies, and fragments of experience may inform the work. A fictional character should not automatically be treated as a factual portrait of a real individual.

No professional advice

Website material is provided for literary, informational, analytical, educational, or entertainment purposes. It is not legal, medical, psychological, financial, tax, investment, engineering, safety, or other regulated professional advice. Consequential decisions require appropriate qualified assistance.

Accuracy and revisions

No guarantee is made that every page is complete, current, uninterrupted, or error-free. Prices, formats, retailer availability, external facts, links, and project status may change. Material may be corrected, expanded, withdrawn, or replaced.

External services

Amazon, Goodreads, GitHub, Instagram, booksellers, and other external services control their own content, transactions, privacy practices, availability, and security. A link does not by itself create endorsement, partnership, or responsibility for later changes.

Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator is not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance on general website material, third-party services, temporary unavailability, unauthorized alteration, or use outside the stated context. Nothing here excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Governing context

The website is operated from Spain for an international audience. Mandatory law may depend on the visitor, transaction, service, and jurisdiction. The current version of this notice applies from the effective date shown above.

Completion note

Formal registration, tax-identification, postal-address, or regulated-profession details must be added if and when they become legally applicable to the operator or a direct service offered through this website.
