Terms & Conditions

Last updated: August 2026

Welcome to Bloom Not Break. By using our website, purchasing our books or journals, joining our community, or using our publishing services, you agree to the terms below.

1. Who We Are

Bloom Not Break is a publishing and mental wellness brand based in Nairobi, Kenya, helping writers publish their work and offering reflective spaces for healing and growth.

2. Using Our Website

• You agree to use this site for lawful purposes only, and not to submit content that is abusive, defamatory, or infringes on someone else's rights.
• We may update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site or its features at any time.
• All content on this site — including text, design, illustrations, and the Bloom Not Break name and logo — belongs to Bloom Not Break unless otherwise credited, and may not be reproduced without permission.

3. Orders & Payments

• Prices for books and journals are listed in Kenyan Shillings (KSh) unless otherwise stated, and may change without notice.
• Orders are confirmed once payment is received. We'll contact you if there's an issue with availability or fulfilment.
• Digital and physical products are provided as described; please review details carefully before purchasing.

4. Publishing Services

Where we provide editing, formatting, or publishing support, the specific scope, timeline, and fees for that work will be agreed with you separately before work begins. You retain ownership of your original manuscript and creative work unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5. Community & Story Submissions

When you submit a story, comment, or content for publication (including anonymously), you confirm it's your own original work and give us permission to review, edit for clarity, and publish it through our channels, unless you tell us otherwise. We aim to treat every submission with care and confidentiality.

6. Not a Substitute for Professional Care

Bloom Not Break's workshops, check-ins, and community spaces are designed to support reflection and connection — they are not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. If you're in crisis or need urgent support, please reach out to a licensed professional or local emergency services.

7. Limitation of Liability

We do our best to keep information on this site accurate and the site running smoothly, but we don't guarantee it will be error-free or uninterrupted. Bloom Not Break is not liable for indirect or incidental losses arising from your use of the site or services, to the extent permitted by law.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
