DISCLAIMERS + PRIVACY POLICY

Reviews posted on Fiction Lux are my intellectual property. My reviews may be ranty, scathing, and contain profanity. Please do not copy, repost, or quote portions larger than a paragraph without my permission.


COMMENTING:

I enjoy receiving comments and hearing your thoughts whether it be agreeable or not. By all means, feel free to engage with me or my guest posters. However, I ask that everyone address one another in a respectful manner without the use of personal insults, threats, etc. Failure to comply may result in comment deletion or banning from the site. Trolls and spam will automatically be deleted without notice. 


Readers may request deletion of a comment, however, it is at my discretion to approve the request. I do not simply delete comments due to regret after the fact. I reserve the right to screenshot any comments left on Fiction Lux.


GIVEAWAYS:

Giveaways featured on Fiction Lux are either sponsored by the author, publisher, or myself. In each giveaway post the contest rules are clearly listed. Please pay close attention to weather the giveaway is international or not. Fiction Lux uses the third-party widget SweepWidget to run giveaways. SweepWidget uses email addresses, social media accounts, and IP addresses to identify entries. This feature is also used to screen cheaters. Any user found to be using multiple accounts to fraudulently enter giveaways will have their entries deleted and repeat offenders will receive a lifetime ban from Fiction Lux giveaways.

Giveaways are not open to those 13 years of age or younger, as I cannot collect information from minors according to the law. If you see a giveaway you would like to enter, please have your parents or guardian enter for you. If you are found out to be an underage entrant, I will immediately disqualify all your entries. Giveaway winners are asked to provide a valid mailing address within 48 hours of winning, or a new winner will be selected.


FTC DISCLAIMER: 

From time to time I receive ARC's (Advanced Reader Copies) or other free books for review. Regardless, I will always give my honest thoughts. I do not charge for reviews, nor do I receive gifts or favours in exchange for review. ARC and other free books will be clearly noted as such. All other books are either acquired by personal purchase or borrowed from my local library.
