⚠ ALL MAGAZINE SALES ARE FINAL — NO REFUNDS, CREDITS, OR EXCHANGES

Please verify with the inmate / receiver that their facility accepts magazines before placing your order. We cannot issue refunds for magazines rejected, returned, or undeliverable by a correctional facility.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO EXCEPTIONS.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website located at www.sportsguidebooks.com (the “Site”) and the purchase of sports magazines sold through the Site (the “Service”), operated by SureShot Books Publishing LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing the Site or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree, do not use this Site or purchase from it.

1. About This Service

Sports Guide Books is a magazine subscription and single-copy sales service operated by SureShot Books Publishing LLC. We specialize in delivering sports-related publications to individuals who are incarcerated in correctional facilities throughout the United States.

Because our products are shipped directly to correctional facilities, our service operates under unique conditions that differ from standard retail. Facility rules, regulations, and approved vendor lists govern whether any given magazine can be delivered to any given recipient. It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to confirm delivery eligibility before placing an order.

2. Customer Responsibility — Facility Verification

IMPORTANT: CHECK WITH THE FACILITY BEFORE YOU ORDER

Correctional facilities each maintain their own approved vendor lists, publication policies, and mailroom rules. A magazine accepted at one facility may be rejected or confiscated at another.

Before completing any purchase, you are responsible for confirming:

  • The receiving facility accepts incoming magazines from outside vendors
  • The specific title(s) you are ordering are permitted at that facility
  • The inmate/receiver’s name and ID number are spelled and formatted exactly as required by the facility
  • The facility’s current mailing address and any special delivery instructions
  • Whether the facility requires subscriptions to come only from approved publishers

We are not responsible for magazines that are rejected, confiscated, returned, or destroyed by a correctional facility for any reason, including but not limited to facility policy changes, lockdowns, transfers of the inmate, or administrative holds.

3. All Sales Are Final — No Refund Policy

ALL MAGAZINE SALES ARE FINAL.

WE DO NOT OFFER REFUNDS, RETURNS, CREDITS, EXCHANGES, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF COMPENSATION ONCE AN ORDER IS PLACED.

This policy applies without exception, including but not limited to:
• Magazines rejected or returned by a correctional facility
• Magazines confiscated, withheld, or destroyed by facility staff
• Incorrect inmate name, number, or facility information provided by buyer
• Change of mind or duplicate orders
• Inmate transfer, release, or relocation
• Facility policy changes after order is placed
• Delivery delays attributable to USPS or facility mailroom processing

By completing a purchase on this Site, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:

  • You have read and understood this no-refund policy in full
  • You have verified with the receiving facility that the magazine(s) ordered will be accepted
  • You accept all risk of non-delivery for reasons related to facility policy or inmate status
  • You waive any right to a refund or chargeback based on non-delivery due to the above circumstances

4. Order Accuracy

You are solely responsible for providing accurate and complete order information, including:

  • Full legal name of the inmate/receiver exactly as it appears in facility records
  • Correct inmate identification number
  • Correct facility name and mailing address
  • Your own valid billing address and contact information

We are not liable for non-delivery caused by inaccurate or incomplete order information. Orders submitted with incorrect information will not be eligible for a refund or re-shipment at no charge.

5. Payment & Billing

We accept major credit and debit cards processed through Stripe. All transactions are processed in U.S. dollars. By submitting payment, you represent that you are the authorized user of the payment method and that the billing information provided is accurate.

CHARGEBACK & DISPUTE NOTICE

Before initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer, please contact us directly at: info@sureshotbooks.com

By placing an order on this Site, you acknowledge that:

(a) You reviewed and agreed to our ALL SALES ARE FINAL policy prior to purchase.
(b) You confirmed delivery eligibility with the receiving facility.
(c) Non-delivery due to facility rejection, inmate transfer, or policy changes does NOT constitute a failure to deliver on our part and does NOT entitle you to a chargeback.

We maintain complete records of all transactions, policy disclosures accepted at checkout, and shipping confirmations. These records will be submitted in full to your card issuer in the event of a dispute.

Initiating a fraudulent or bad-faith chargeback may result in being permanently banned from this Site and referral to appropriate authorities.

6. Shipping & Delivery

Orders are typically processed and shipped within 3–7 business days of order placement. Delivery times vary based on USPS transit times and facility mailroom processing, which can add several additional weeks. We are not responsible for USPS delays, facility mailroom processing times, or mail holds resulting from facility operations.

Tracking information, where available, will be provided to the email address you supply at checkout. Title and risk of loss pass to the buyer upon our tender of the shipment to USPS.

7. Subscription Orders

Where magazine subscriptions are offered, your subscription will renew automatically at the stated interval unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel a subscription by contacting us at info@sureshotbooks.com. Cancellations take effect for future billing periods only; no refund will be issued for any already-billed period or for issues already in transit or delivered.
