No Magic Words · Buy the book →
What you're buying, what you can do with it, and what it doesn't promise.
Plain terms for a one-person operation selling text files. Nothing here is written to be clever; if a clause seems to mean two things, the reading that favours you is the one I’ll honour.
Who you’re dealing with: Carlos Rodriguez, an independent author in the United States, at carlos@nomagicwords.com. No company, no team.
Both are digital. Nothing is shipped, and there is nothing to return.
Payment is handled by Payhip, which acts as merchant of record for buyers in the US, UK, EU and Canada and collects any VAT or sales tax due there. Card details go to Payhip and its processor; they never reach me and I never see them. Buying the ebook through Amazon puts you under Amazon’s terms instead of these.
A licence to use, not the copyright. One purchase covers one person.
You may use every template, scaffold and procedure in your own work including work you’re paid for; adapt, rewrite, and merge them into your own notes; paste the scaffolds into any AI tool, including one your employer pays for; and keep using all of it if you change jobs.
Your filled-in versions are yours. The context pack you write, the procedures you adapt, the rules page you build out of your own failures — those are your documents. Put them in your team wiki if you want. The restrictions below are on the files as shipped, not on the work you do with them.
You may not share, resell or redistribute the files, in whole or in part; post their contents publicly, including to a company wiki, shared drive, Notion workspace or public repository; or sell anything substantially derived from them — a repackaged template set, a paid course built on these procedures, a client deliverable that is the pack with a new cover.
Quoting a line or two with attribution is fine. That’s a quote, not a copy.
If your team wants it, buy a seat each or email me for a team licence, which is cheaper per head. The honest reason it matters: one copy dropped in a shared drive for twelve people gets installed by nobody, and then the pack looks like it didn’t work.
It isn’t advice about your specific situation and it isn’t a guarantee of any result. Every procedure in the pack ends in a check you run, precisely because nothing in this category is reliable enough to skip that step — including the procedures in the pack.
The book reports what happened when techniques were tested, including where they failed and where a result couldn’t be reproduced at all. That’s a record of specific attempts, not a promise about yours.
Nothing here is legal, financial, medical or employment advice. Your employer’s AI policy governs your work, not this book.
To the extent the law allows, the products are provided as-is, and my liability for any claim arising from them is limited to what you paid. Some jurisdictions don’t allow that limit, in which case it doesn’t apply to you.
Where consumer law gives you rights these terms can’t remove — most of the EU, UK, Australia and several US states — those rights win, and I’m not going to argue about it.
The pack carries an edition number and a date. Buyers get updates to the edition they bought at no charge. If I ever charge for a major new edition, that’s a new product and nobody’s existing files stop working.
If these terms change, the version in force is the one on the day you bought. I’m not able to change the deal retroactively and wouldn’t want to.
Ask and you’ll get one, with no form and no argument, and you keep the files. The mechanics are on the refunds page.
The law of the United States and of the state where I live, unless the consumer law where you live says otherwise — in which case, again, yours wins.
