If a download link does not work, a purchased file is missing, or an order is not delivered, please contact:
We will make reasonable efforts to verify the purchase and provide access to the product.
A failure of automatic delivery does not remove any statutory rights or remedies available to the customer.
8. License to Use Digital Products
Unless a product description expressly provides otherwise, purchasing a digital product grants the customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the purchased material for personal, individual, and professional reference.
Customers may download and store purchased files on devices they personally use.
Customers may also print reasonable portions for their own individual use, where the product format permits printing.

Schools, districts, institutions, and organizations seeking to distribute materials to multiple individuals should contact us regarding appropriate permissions.
These restrictions do not prohibit uses permitted by applicable copyright law.
9. Intellectual Property Rights
Unless otherwise indicated, the original written content, product designs, editorial materials, graphics, branding, and digital publications appearing on The Good Principal are owned by or licensed to the website operator.
These materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
The names The Good Principal and Hibaro Book Publishing, along with associated branding, may not be used in a manner that falsely suggests authorization, sponsorship, or affiliation.
Visitors may share links to publicly available articles and website pages.
Short quotations may be used where permitted by applicable law, with appropriate attribution.
Purchasing a product or accessing the website does not grant ownership of our intellectual property.
10. Free Resources and Downloadable Materials
We may provide complimentary ebooks, guides, worksheets, journals, or other downloadable materials.
Unless otherwise stated, free resources are subject to the same intellectual property and permitted-use restrictions applicable to purchased products.
Receiving a free resource does not automatically authorize resale, redistribution, or commercial reproduction.
Where a free download is offered in connection with an email subscription, the relevant subscription terms and privacy disclosures will apply.
Customers and subscribers may unsubscribe from optional marketing communications without affecting their rights to materials already lawfully obtained.
11. Office Confessions and Editorial Content
The Good Principal publishes Office Confessions and other editorial content exploring the experiences, concerns, and emotional realities of educational leadership.
These materials are intended to encourage reflection, discussion, and professional understanding.
Stories may be submitted by contributors, adapted for editorial purposes, or presented as illustrative or fictionalized narratives.
Where a story is fictional, composite, or materially reconstructed, we aim to identify it appropriately rather than misrepresent it as an independently verified firsthand account.
The views expressed in contributed stories do not necessarily represent the views of Hibaro Book Publishing.
We do not guarantee the factual accuracy of every personal account or third-party submission.
Editorial responses and reflections are general in nature and should not be treated as individualized legal, medical, psychological, employment, or professional advice.
Readers remain responsible for assessing how information applies to their own circumstances.
12. User Submissions and Comments
Visitors may be permitted to submit comments, reflections, questions, or personal stories.
By submitting content, you confirm that:

- The submission does not knowingly infringe another person’s intellectual property or privacy rights.
- You will not intentionally disclose confidential student, employee, or institutional information without appropriate authorization.
- The content does not contain unlawful threats, harassment, or defamatory material.
- The submission does not impersonate another individual or misrepresent its origin.
You retain ownership of original content you submit.
For comments intended for public display, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, moderate, reproduce, and display the content on the website as necessary to operate the comment feature.
For private stories or confessions submitted for editorial consideration, submission alone does not grant permission for public publication. We will obtain appropriate publication authorization before publishing an identifiable or otherwise private submission.
We may edit, anonymize, decline, or remove submissions when reasonably necessary to protect privacy, comply with law, or maintain editorial standards.
We are not obligated to publish every submission.
13. Refunds and Cancellations
Because our products are delivered digitally, refunds and cancellations are governed by our separate Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms & Conditions.
Customers should review the Refund Policy before purchasing.
We may decline discretionary refund requests where the applicable policy permits, but nothing in these terms excludes remedies available under applicable consumer protection laws.
Where a digital product is defective, materially misdescribed, not delivered, or otherwise gives rise to a legal remedy, we will address the concern in accordance with applicable law.

We do not guarantee compatibility with every device, application, or operating system.
If a file cannot be opened because it is corrupted or materially defective, customers should contact us for assistance or an appropriate remedy.
Download access may be subject to reasonable technical or security controls, provided these do not unlawfully interfere with consumer rights.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Hibaro Book Publishing is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising solely from the use of general educational or editorial information published on the website.
We do not guarantee specific outcomes from the use of our publications.

22. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, subject to mandatory consumer protection and other rights that may apply in a customer’s jurisdiction.
If a dispute arises, we encourage customers to contact us first so that we may attempt to resolve the matter fairly and promptly.
Customers may also seek assistance from appropriate consumer protection authorities or pursue other remedies available under applicable law.
Nothing in these terms requires customers to waive mandatory statutory rights or access to legally available dispute-resolution mechanisms.
