Mamaw June's Depression Kitchen

Privacy, Terms & Refunds

Plain words, because that is how the rest of the book is written. If anything here is not clear, write to me at june@mamawjune.com and I will explain it.

Who you are dealing with

Mamaw June's Depression Kitchen, publisher of the book of the same name, reachable at june@mamawjune.com. That address is read by a person and answered.

Privacy

What is collected, and why

Nothing else is asked for and nothing else is wanted. There is no account to create, no profile built about you, and nothing is ever sold, rented or passed to anybody for their own use.

Your card details

They never reach this site. Payment is handled entirely by Payhip, the shop the buy button opens, and by the card processor behind it. I see that an order was paid. I never see the card.

Who else touches your details

Each of them handles your details only in order to do that job.

Cookies

This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies, and there is nothing here to consent to. Your browser may remember, on your own device only, that you have already been shown the offer of the free pantry list, so that you are not asked twice. That never leaves your computer.

While I try out a new version of the book page, one small cookie from this site remembers which of the two versions you were shown, so you see the same one each time. The site then counts, without your name or address, how many readers of each version press the buy button or ask for the pantry list. It is not shared with anybody and it is not used for advertising.

Leaving the list

Every letter has an unsubscribe link at the foot of it, and it works at once. You may also write to me and I will take you off myself.

What you may ask for

Wherever you live, and in particular under GDPR in Europe and the UK, you may ask what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, ask for a copy, or ask for it to be deleted altogether. Write to june@mamawjune.com and it will be done — normally within a few days and at the latest within a month. Deleting your details does not take away a book you have already bought.

Your details are held for as long as you stay on the list, and order records are kept as long as tax rules require.

Children

This is a cookbook for grown-ups and nothing here is meant for, or aimed at, children under 16.

Terms of sale

What you are buying

Mamaw June's Depression Kitchen is a digital book — a PDF file of 493 pages. It is not a printed book and nothing is posted to you. The download reaches your email within a few minutes of paying. You read it on a phone, a tablet or a computer, and you may print any part of it for your own kitchen.

What you may do with it

It is yours to keep, to print for yourself, and to hand on within your own family — that is the whole point of a book like this one, and it was always passed hand to hand. What you may not do is sell it, put it up for download anywhere, or pass it round as a business. It is my work and my living.

Price and tax

The price is shown in US dollars. Depending on where you live, sales tax or VAT may be added at checkout; the shop works that out and shows it before you pay.

The refund

Thirty days, no argument and no questions. Cook one thing out of the book. If it is not what you hoped for, write to june@mamawjune.com inside thirty days of buying it and every dollar comes back. You do not have to explain yourself, and you do not have to send anything back — you could not if you wanted to, it is a file.

Refunds go back the way the money came, and usually take a few working days to show on your statement.

If you are in the EU or the UK: by downloading the book straight away you agree to it being delivered at once, which ordinarily ends the statutory fourteen-day right to cancel a digital purchase. The thirty days above are given anyway, and they are longer.

A word about the cooking

Every recipe in this book has been cooked. All the same, a kitchen is your own to run, and two things are worth saying plainly.

The canning chapter follows tested methods from the government and the extension service, and the times, jar sizes, acid and altitude tables in it are not to be changed — not by me and not by you. Putting food up outside a tested method can make people seriously ill. If a jar is bulging, leaking, unsealed, mouldy or spurts when opened, it goes out without being tasted.

I am a cook and not a doctor. There is not one word of medical advice anywhere in the book. If something about your eating needs a doctor's opinion, it wants a doctor's opinion and not mine. Nothing here is a promise about anybody's health, and nothing here is advice about anybody's money.

If something goes wrong

If the file will not open, the link never came, or the download will not work on your machine — write to me. That is not a complaint, it is an ordinary morning, and it is usually sorted out in one reply.

Beyond the price you paid, I cannot be responsible for any loss arising from using the book. Nothing in these terms takes away rights the law where you live gives you as a consumer.
