4. BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS
Descriptions of books, covers, formats, publication information, availability and related material are intended to provide information about MANA EDITIONS publications and projects. Publication details may change before final publication. A book displayed as in development, forthcoming or under preparation should not be understood as having a guaranteed publication date unless expressly confirmed. Final product characteristics may differ from preliminary presentations where editorial, production or technical requirements make changes necessary.

The MANA EDITIONS Journal contains editorial material, including the monthly publication currently operating under the working title MANA365. Journal content may include reporting, analysis, commentary, reviews, essays, interviews, research summaries, cultural material and other editorial formats. Publication of information does not guarantee that the information will remain current indefinitely. Where appropriate, articles may identify their nature through labels such as analysis, commentary, review or research.
6. INFORMATIONAL CONTENT AND PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Content published by MANA EDITIONS is intended for general informational and editorial purposes. Unless expressly stated otherwise, website and Journal content does not constitute individual legal, financial, investment, medical, tax or other regulated professional advice. Information that discusses law, finance, health, markets, business or other professional subjects should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice appropriate to an individual situation. Readers should obtain appropriate professional advice where necessary.
7. FINANCIAL AND MARKET CONTENT
Financial, economic, business and market-related content may discuss companies, securities, markets, currencies, commodities, economic developments or investment-related subjects. Such content is published for editorial and informational purposes and should not be understood as a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any investment or financial product. Markets involve risk, and past events or performance do not determine future outcomes.
8. HEALTH AND WELLBEING CONTENT
Health, wellbeing, psychology, longevity or related content is intended for general informational and editorial purposes. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure a medical or psychological condition and should not replace appropriate professional care. Readers should seek qualified professional guidance where their circumstances require it.
9. LEGAL CONTENT
Legal content may explain concepts, institutions, legal developments or general principles. Law varies between jurisdictions and may change over time. General legal information is not individual legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.
10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Unless otherwise indicated, the website and its original content, including text, editorial material, graphic design, logos, publication identities, illustrations, layouts, book-related material and other original elements, are owned by or licensed for use by MANA EDITIONS and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party material remains subject to the rights of its respective owner. You may access website content for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, commercially exploit, systematically extract or create unauthorised derivative uses of protected MANA EDITIONS content except where permitted by law or with appropriate permission.

Reasonable quotation or reference for criticism, review, scholarship, reporting or other legally permitted purposes may be possible subject to applicable law and appropriate attribution. Permission may be required for uses exceeding applicable legal exceptions.
12. IMAGES, ARTWORK AND DIGITAL PRODUCTION
MANA EDITIONS may use original photography, commissioned artwork, licensed material, public-domain material and digitally produced or technology-assisted creative material, depending on the publication or editorial project. Rights and credits may differ between individual works. Where attribution or credit is required, the relevant publication or content should identify it appropriately. No assumption should be made that third-party material displayed on the website is available for reuse merely because it is visible online.
13. TRADEMARKS AND THIRD-PARTY NAMES
Names, trademarks, logos and product identities belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners. Editorial reference to a company, brand, product or service does not by itself imply sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation.
14. EXTERNAL LINKS
The website may contain links to third-party websites, retailers, platforms, sources or services. These links may be provided for convenience, reference or access to external content. MANA EDITIONS does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, terms, privacy practices or transactions.
15. BOOK PURCHASES AND THIRD-PARTY RETAILERS
Books or other publications may be made available through third-party retailers, distributors or platforms. Where a purchase takes place on a third-party website, the transaction is generally governed by that provider’s terms, pricing, payment arrangements, delivery conditions and return policies. MANA EDITIONS should not be presented as the direct seller where the transaction is in fact completed by a third party.
16. COMMERCIAL AND AFFILIATE LINKS
Some future editorial content may contain commercial, affiliate or other compensated links. Where applicable, such relationships should be disclosed clearly and appropriately. Editorial judgment should remain separate from commercial relationships.
17. SUBMISSIONS
Publishing proposals and other materials submitted to MANA EDITIONS are subject to the information and conditions provided on the Submissions page. Sending material does not create an obligation to review, publish, compensate for or return that material unless separately agreed.
18. COMMUNICATIONS WITH MANA EDITIONS
When contacting MANA EDITIONS, users should not transmit content that is unlawful, abusive, infringing, malicious or intentionally harmful. Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the right to submit material they send to MANA EDITIONS.
19. ACCEPTABLE USE
Users must not interfere with website operation or security; attempt unauthorised access; introduce malicious code; use automated systems in a manner that unreasonably burdens the website; impersonate another person or entity; use the website for unlawful purposes; infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; or systematically copy or extract protected content without permission or another lawful basis.
20. WEBSITE AVAILABILITY
We aim to maintain a useful and accessible website, but continuous or error-free availability cannot be guaranteed. Access may occasionally be interrupted for maintenance, technical reasons, security or circumstances beyond reasonable control.

MANA EDITIONS aims to publish material carefully. Nevertheless, errors, omissions or outdated information may occasionally occur. Where appropriate, content may be corrected, clarified or updated.
22. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the extent permitted by applicable law, MANA EDITIONS should not be liable for losses arising solely from reliance on general informational website content, third-party websites or circumstances outside its reasonable control. Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability where exclusion or limitation would be prohibited by applicable law.
