Realm — Site Terms
Bishop Woodcrafts LLC · Updated October 15, 2026
Realm by Ethan is operated by Bishop Woodcrafts LLC. These terms cover realmbyethan.com and bishopcraft.com, including mirrored content, the public reader and downloads, accounts and reading notes, and personalized editions of The Governor by Ethan Bishop. References to Realm, Realm by Ethan, Bishopcraft, we, us or our in these terms mean Bishop Woodcrafts LLC unless the context identifies Ethan personally. Separate services, commissions and third-party websites may have their own agreed terms.
1. Reading is free
The standard book, its available reading modes and current text downloads are free for personal reading. No purchase or account is required for the normal reader. Buying a personalized version does not unlock the standard book; it pays for a separate custom request.
Free access does not transfer copyright in the book, artwork, photographs, software or third-party material. You may read, quote, review, criticize, discuss and make other uses allowed by law. Supplied downloads may be kept for personal reading and reasonable backup. Do not sell or present the complete book or another person's work as your own. Your own ideas, independent work and rights protected by law remain yours.
Reuse, AI training and permission from Ethan
Any use not expressly authorized by these Terms requires direct prior written approval from Ethan Bishop. Free access, silence, a third party’s statement, or an AI-generated response does not grant additional permission. Where applicable law independently permits a use without permission, this clause does not remove that right.
Free access permits ordinary reading and the personal downloads described above. It does not itself grant a license to republish the book, sell copies, redistribute protected portions, commercially reuse protected book or site material, or reproduce protected content for AI training, model fine-tuning, datasets or similar uses. Except where applicable law permits the use without permission, obtain Ethan Bishop's written permission before reusing any protected part of the book or site, including text, illustrations and photographs.
This permission policy also covers requests to adapt, incorporate or commercially implement the book's distinctive models, methods or logic as part of a proposed license or collaboration. Copyright does not itself create ownership of abstract ideas, facts, principles, systems, methods or logic. No automatic license fee or penalty is imposed merely for independently using an unprotected idea. Any enforceable contractual restriction on such use requires a valid applicable agreement and is subject to law.
For an incident of unauthorized reuse that infringes applicable rights or breaches an enforceable agreement, Bishopcraft reserves the right to seek $5,000 or more per responsible person, per distinct incident, where the law and facts support the claim. This is one claim against each responsible person for each distinct incident, not a separate claim for every paragraph, quotation or copy within the same incident. Related acts are not automatically split into multiple incidents to multiply the amount. Legal responsibility and any recoverable amount remain matters of applicable law and a valid agreement or decision resolving the claim.
Ethan may grant an exception, permission or waiver in writing for a named person, project or use. Its stated scope and conditions apply; one exception does not automatically authorize unrelated uses. Contact ethan@bishopcraft.com to request permission.
The $5,000 amount states an enforcement position; it is not an automatic fine, card charge, debt, predetermined damages award or guarantee of recovery. The amount and any contractual damages provision remain subject to legal review, proof and applicable limits. Other remedies, costs or legal fees may be sought only where legally available. Lack of intent does not itself authorize infringing copying, but defenses and remedies are determined by law.
Ordinary free reading, authorized personal downloads, lawful quotation, fair use, reviews, criticism, accessibility uses and other legally protected activities remain governed by their existing permissions and legal protections. Accidental access to this site does not incur a fee. These terms do not purport to remove nonwaivable rights.
2. Accounts and private reading notes
An account is optional and is used for features such as saving personal notes. Keep your sign-in details secure and provide accurate information where needed for support or an order. Do not access another person's account, interfere with the site, bypass access controls, or use automated requests that disrupt other readers.
You retain your rights in your notes. Saving them permits Bishopcraft to store and display them to your account and to operate, maintain and support the feature. Notes are not published to other readers. They are not end-to-end encrypted: authorized site administrators and service providers may access stored information when necessary for operation, support, security or legal obligations. Do not use the notebook to store passwords, payment details or sensitive records.
Clear a note and save to remove its visible text. Contact support for account or personal-data requests. Keep your own copy of important notes; availability and recovery of every draft are not guaranteed.
3. Personalized digital version — $10
For $10 USD, paid once, submit a prompt for Ethan to create a personalized digital version of The Governor. The price covers review of the prompt and creation of a custom digital version appropriate to that request. Scope, format and timing may be clarified with you; no particular word count or inclusion of every requested statement is promised unless agreed in writing.
4. Custom paperback — $50 plus postage
For $50 USD, paid once, Ethan prepares a personalized version and mails you a paperback of it. Postage is additional and is not included in the $50. You first review and approve the custom version. After your approval, Ethan sends a separate postage quote and confirms the mailing details with you. Postage is not charged automatically. Mailing takes place after the version and postage arrangements are agreed.
If a destination cannot be served or a postage arrangement cannot be agreed, contact support to resolve the order, including a refund where the order cannot reasonably be fulfilled or law requires it. Do not assume worldwide delivery or a particular carrier, delivery speed or binding specification that has not been confirmed.
Bishopcraft will honor an agreed shipping schedule and applicable delivery requirements. Where the US mail/internet order rule applies and no shipping time is specified, its 30-day default applies. If shipment cannot occur within the promised or applicable time, Bishopcraft will offer a revised date and the choice to consent to the delay or cancel for a prompt refund. Version approval and separately quoted postage do not waive those rights or automatically extend a legal deadline. Transit time after shipment depends on the agreed service.
5. Payment, cancellation and refunds
Stripe handles checkout and payment-card information. Live checkout charges real money. The selected digital or paperback price is shown before payment; these are one-time purchases with no subscription or automatic renewal. The initial paperback checkout does not collect postage. The request is accepted for fulfillment only after payment is verified.
Do not pay again just because a confirmation is delayed; contact support. Duplicate or incorrect charges will be corrected. If Bishopcraft cannot reasonably fulfill a paid request, the request will be refunded. For custom digital work, a change-of-mind refund requested before work begins will be considered; once that work has begun or has been delivered, such a refund is not guaranteed except where required by law. This does not limit mandatory rights concerning physical orders, late shipment, defective goods, incorrect charges or other remedies required by law.
Report a damaged, incorrect or missing paperback to support so the appropriate replacement, correction or refund can be arranged. Nothing here imposes a shorter claim period than the law allows.
6. Your prompt and personalized version
You retain the rights you already have in your prompt. You permit Bishop Woodcrafts LLC and Ethan to store, review and use it as reasonably needed to create the requested version, communicate with you, fulfill the order, keep transaction and support records, and meet legal obligations. Submitting a prompt or saving a note does not authorize its publication as your writing or an endorsement by you.
Only provide third-party material you have the right to use for the request. Leave out unnecessary private messages, medical records, government identifiers, passwords and payment-card numbers. Ethan may decline or clarify a request that cannot reasonably or lawfully be fulfilled.
A personalized version is a creative adaptation, not a factual certification about you, a diagnosis or professional advice. Unless separately agreed in writing, the delivered version is for your personal reading and use. Existing rights in the book and third-party material remain with their respective owners; buying a copy does not assign those copyrights.
7. Information, other work and external links
Writing and project information on the site are provided for reading and general information. They are not a substitute for professional advice or a site-specific engineering, medical, legal or other assessment. Descriptions of studio work, woodworking, mechanical design or Realm Reptiles do not create a commission, warranty, booking or separate service contract. Any such work needs its own agreed scope, price and terms.
External websites and services operate under their own terms and privacy practices. A link does not make Bishopcraft responsible for their availability or every claim they publish.
8. Privacy and records
The site stores information needed for accounts, private notes, support and orders. Order records include the name, email, prompt, selected format, payment identifiers, agreed terms and fulfillment status; mailing details and postage arrangements may be collected during fulfillment. Stripe receives the information needed for checkout and identifiers that match payment to the request. The custom prompt itself is not sent to Stripe by this request flow, and card numbers are not stored in the Bishopcraft request record.
Paid requests may be emailed to Ethan for fulfillment. Records may be retained as reasonably needed for service, security, accounting, legal compliance and dispute resolution. See the Privacy Policy for additional information, and contact support about access, correction or deletion requests.
9. Availability and changes
The site and free reader may be updated or temporarily unavailable. Reasonable protections may limit excessive requests or abusive use. These measures do not create a fee for ordinary reading. Do not rely on the site as the only copy of your own work or as an emergency service.
Terms may be updated for future use and orders. A paid custom request is governed by the terms accepted for that request; a later change does not automatically add fees or reduce the buyer's existing rights. A copy of the accepted terms is retained with new custom orders. You may save or print this page.
10. Rights and support
Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, prevents honest criticism or lawful quotation, or restricts accessibility, research or other uses protected by law. If a provision cannot lawfully be enforced, the remaining terms apply to the extent permitted by law.
For order status, delivery, refunds, accessibility, account or privacy questions, or a concern about material involving you, contact ethan@bishopcraft.com or use Bishopcraft support.
