TOS
Terms of Service
Effective Date: November 25, 2025
Welcome to OriginalMagazines.com (the "Site"). Original Magazines ("OriginalMagazines.com," "we," "us," or "our") operates this Site and provides the products and services offered on it.
By accessing or using the Site (including browsing, creating an account, or placing an order), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Site or purchase products from us.
By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) or are using the Site under the supervision and with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
These Terms also incorporate by reference any additional terms or policies we post on the Site, including our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, and Return and Exchange Policy (collectively, the "Policies"). If there is a conflict between these Terms and any Policy, these Terms will govern to the extent permitted by law.
1. General Conditions
By using the Site, you agree to comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations.
We reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, terminate accounts, or restrict access to the Site to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction at any time and for any lawful reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or are engaging in fraudulent, abusive, or inappropriate behavior.
Any new features, tools, or services added to the current store (including new collections, payment methods, or functionality) will also be subject to these Terms unless we expressly state otherwise. We may, in our sole discretion, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site or services without notice, and we will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuance.
2. Accuracy of Information
While we strive for accuracy, we are not responsible if the information on this Site is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. The content provided on this Site is for general informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for making decisions.
We make reasonable efforts to display accurate, complete, and current information about our products and services. However, the Site may occasionally contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, availability, shipping charges, transit times, or promotions. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel orders if any information on the Site or related to the services is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order).
Any reliance on the material on this Site is at your own risk. It is your responsibility to monitor changes to our Site and to verify any information that is important to your purchase decision.
3. Product Information, Availability, and Pricing
Product Information and Condition
We take care to describe and photograph our vintage magazines accurately, including notable defects, markings, or wear. However, because these are pre-owned, historical items, minor variations in condition may occur and reasonable differences in grading, color, or appearance between the physical item and on-screen images are expected. Images are for illustrative purposes and may not show every flaw.
By purchasing from us, you acknowledge that condition grading is an opinion and agree that minor condition variances consistent with the described grade do not constitute a defect.
Historical Content
Many vintage magazines contain historical content that may be outdated, offensive, or inconsistent with current values and norms. We provide these items as historical artifacts only and do not endorse any views, language, or imagery contained within them. By purchasing these materials, you understand and accept this context.
Pricing
Prices for our products are subject to change at any time without notice. We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors and to cancel any orders arising from such errors, even after an order has been submitted, in which case we will issue a refund for the affected item(s).
Availability
Our products are often unique or available in limited quantities. Certain products may be available exclusively online through our Site. We do not guarantee that any item displayed will be in stock at all times, and we reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer and to discontinue any product at any time.
If an item becomes unavailable after you place an order, we may cancel your order (in whole or in part) and will notify you and issue a refund for any canceled items.
We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order, including orders that in our judgment appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors.
4. Payment and Billing Information
By placing an order, you agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information. You authorize us and our third-party payment processors to charge your chosen payment method for the total amount of your order, including any applicable taxes, shipping, and handling charges.
All payments must be made in the currency indicated at checkout. You are responsible for any bank fees, foreign transaction fees, or other charges imposed by your payment provider.
We may, in our sole discretion, refuse or cancel any order you place with us, including if we suspect fraud, error, or unauthorized activity. In the event of a change or cancellation of an order, we will notify you using the email address or phone number provided at the time of purchase.
You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, billing address, and payment details, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
5. Shipping and Delivery
We offer domestic and international shipping. Shipping costs and delivery times will vary depending on your location and order size. Once an order is processed, tracking information will be provided where available.
All shipping and delivery estimates provided on the Site or during checkout are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery times may vary due to carrier delays, customs processing, weather, or other factors beyond our control. We are not liable for delays caused by third-party carriers or customs authorities.
For international shipments, you are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees imposed by your destination country. We are not responsible for packages held, delayed, or returned by customs.
Unless otherwise required by law, title to and risk of loss for products pass to you upon our delivery of the products to the carrier. If a shipment is lost or damaged in transit, please contact us and we will work with you and the carrier to attempt to resolve the issue in accordance with our policies and the carrier’s rules.
Please review our Shipping Policy for full details.
6. Returns and Exchanges
Our Return and Exchange Policy provides information on our return window and criteria for returns. Please read the policy carefully to understand our terms regarding returns and refunds.
By purchasing from us, you agree that any returns, refunds, or exchanges will be handled solely in accordance with our then-current Return and Exchange Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Certain items may be final sale or non-returnable, as indicated on the product page or in our Return and Exchange Policy.
To be eligible for a return, items must be returned in the same condition in which you received them, including any packaging or accompanying materials we provided, unless our Return and Exchange Policy states otherwise. We reserve the right to refuse or reduce a refund if items are returned used, damaged, or not in accordance with our policy.
Refunds, when approved, will generally be issued to the original method of payment, unless we offer and you accept store credit or another resolution. Original shipping charges are typically non-refundable unless the return is the result of our error or as otherwise required by law.
7. Intellectual Property
All content on this Site that we create or control, including but not limited to our original text, product descriptions, photographs, graphics, logos, videos, and the overall look and feel of the Site (collectively, the "OriginalMagazines Content"), is owned by us or licensed to us and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
Magazines and other products offered for sale may display copyrighted content, trademarks, and imagery owned by third parties, including publishers, photographers, and other rights holders. Those rights remain with their respective owners, and such content is used on our Site solely for identification and descriptive purposes.
You may not copy, reproduce, modify, publish, transmit, distribute, display, perform, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit the OriginalMagazines Content or any portion of the Site without our prior express written consent, except for personal, non-commercial use that does not harm our interests or those of third-party rights holders.
8. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use our Site for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose, including but not limited to violating any international, federal, state, or local regulations, rules, or laws; infringing upon our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others; or transmitting any malicious software or viruses.
In addition, you agree that you will not:
- Use the Site for any fraudulent or deceptive purpose, including submitting false orders or engaging in chargeback abuse;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion or feature of the Site, other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to the Site;
- Interfere with or circumvent the security features of the Site or any related website, or interfere with the normal operation of the Site (for example, by flooding, overloading, or spamming);
- Use any robot, spider, scraper, automated tool, data-mining technology, or other automated means to access, monitor, or copy the Site or its content, except as permitted by standard search engine protocols;
- Use the Site or any content for any commercial purpose or for the benefit of any third party that competes with us, without our express written consent; or
- Encourage or assist any third party to engage in any of the activities described above.
We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action (which may include terminating your access to the Site, canceling orders, or contacting law enforcement) if we believe you have violated these Terms or any applicable law.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability
Except as expressly stated otherwise in writing, the Site, the services, and all products sold through the Site are provided "as is" and "as available," without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site or any related systems are free of viruses or other harmful components.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you where prohibited by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Original Magazines or its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, suppliers, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or any products purchased through the Site, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any products purchased through the Site will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid for the product(s) giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (for example, for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or for personal injury or death caused by our negligence where such liability cannot be excluded by law).
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Original Magazines, its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Site or products; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; (c) any content or information you submit, post, or otherwise transmit through the Site; or (d) any violation of any rights of a third party by you or anyone using your account.
We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.
11. Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any products purchased through the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.
Subject to the Dispute Resolution; Class Action Waiver section below, you agree that the state courts and, where applicable, the federal courts located in Horry County, South Carolina, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit or legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
12. Changes to Terms of Service
We may update or modify these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. When we do so, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and, where appropriate, may provide additional notice (for example, by email or by posting a notice on the Site).
It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Site after we post any changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
13. Third-Party Services and Links
Our Site is hosted and powered by third-party service providers (such as ecommerce platforms and payment processors). Your use of certain features of the Site may be subject to the terms and policies of those third parties, in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services, even if they are linked to from our Site.
Any links to third-party websites are provided for your convenience only and do not constitute our endorsement of those third parties or their products, services, or content. You access any third-party websites or services at your own risk.
14. Dispute Resolution; Class Action Waiver
Before formally bringing a claim, you agree to first contact us using the information in the Contact Us section and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Most concerns can be resolved this way.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any products purchased through the Site that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that you or we may bring an individual action in small claims court in Horry County, South Carolina, if the claim qualifies.
Arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis only and not in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You and we each agree that any arbitration or court proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, or representative action, and that you expressly waive the right to participate in a class action or class arbitration.
If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief (and only that claim or request for relief) must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and you and we agree that such court proceedings will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
Nothing in this section limits either party’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party’s intellectual property rights.
15. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with any other policies or terms expressly incorporated by reference (including our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, and Return and Exchange Policy), constitute the entire agreement between you and Original Magazines regarding your use of the Site and purchase of products from us, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us.
You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
