Awarding Physical Prizes
Due to the prohibitive cost of international mail, if a Winner is outside the Continental United States, Ebooks will be sent instead of "physical" prizes such as Tshirts, journals, coffee mugs, etc.
Awarding Amazon Gift Cards
Every effort will be made to send a Winner an Amazon Gift Card when called for. However, it may not be possible for us to send Amazon Gift Cards from the United States to some countries. In that event, an Ebook will be sent in lieu of the Amazon Gift Card.
About Images and Videos Posted on This Blog
All liability for images and music content, whether in a post or a video submitted for Movie Theater, rests with the Author who posts the content.
Neither the Steering Committee, the Romance Gems Blog, nor other Authors of Romance Gems Blog assume any liability for what another Author posts.
