Terms of service

The site

HistoryUnattached is a reading site about the book History: Un-Attached by C. V. Wooster. The book’s ISBN is 978-1-967239-30-6, and it is published under the HistoryUnattached name. Its sessions are imagined. They use attachment theory as a lens on documented lives, including Alexander the Great and Marie Antoinette, the two figures named in the homepage cabinet. An imagined session is not a claim that the conversation happened, and it is not medical, psychological, or legal advice.

Cabinet Match asks four questions and names a historical counterpart for curiosity. The homepage says it is not a personality assessment. Field Notes are essays written for this site. The podcast block on the homepage is an email list, because no episode has been published. Optional sign-in sends a one-time link to an email address. There is no password field on that page. This site is not a clinic and not a store checkout.

Accounts

If you ask for a sign-in link, we send it to the address you type. The link expires. You can ignore it if you did not ask for it. A session cookie lets a later visit from the same browser stay attached to that address. You may stop using sign-in at any time. To ask us to delete the address, write to the contact email below and say it was a sign-in address.

The podcast note

The homepage form stores an email only if you submit it. We use that address for one note if a first episode is published, and for a short confirmation. We do not sell the list, and we do not add it to a general newsletter. The same contact email can ask for deletion. Leaving the address is optional. Reading the book and the Field Notes does not require it.

Field Notes

Visitors do not post comments, uploads, or reviews on this site. The essays are ours. If a sentence is wrong, write with the page address and, if you have one, the source that corrects it. We may revise an essay. The date on the page is the publication date unless the page says it was updated. A Field Note is an argument from the sources it cites. It is not a client file and not a news wire.

Buying the book and other goods

Buttons that send you to Amazon leave this site. We do not charge your card here, and we do not run a shopping cart. Amazon takes payment and handles a return under Amazon’s own rules. Those links are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. A commission does not change the price you pay.

The Etsy shop and the Secure Base downloads are listings on Etsy, and Etsy handles that checkout. A ChartOrigin poster link on an essay is an affiliate link to ChartOrigin and is marked sponsored. We do not control those sellers’ inventory, shipping, or refunds. A failed order is a matter for the seller you paid, not for this mailbox, though you may still tell us the link was wrong.

Our material

The essays, the site text, the cabinet artwork we commissioned or licensed, and the HistoryUnattached name are ours or used with permission. You may read them and share a link. Do not copy a Field Note in full, republish the book, or present the site’s text as your own article. A short quotation for criticism or teaching, with credit and a link, is the ordinary limit. The book itself is sold by its seller. It is not copied onto these pages.

Using the site

Use the site for personal reading. Do not break sign-in, probe the forms, or send automated traffic that degrades the site for other readers. Do not scrape in a way that overwhelms the server. Do not present an imagined session as a clinical opinion or as a record of an event. The suggestion control, if you open it, is for a note to the site team. Do not use it to send someone else’s personal information.

Advertising

Pages may show Google AdSense ads. The privacy policy explains cookies, the publisher ID in ads.txt, and the control labeled Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. AdSense chooses the individual ad. We do not pick the creative you see, and an ad is not an endorsement of the advertiser by C. V. Wooster.

As is

We provide HistoryUnattached as it is. We do not promise that the site will be up at every hour, that an essay is complete, or that a link to Amazon, Etsy, or an archive will still resolve. We are not liable for a purchase you make on another site, for how you use the book, or for an interruption of these pages.

California law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of the State of California are the exclusive forum for a dispute about these terms or this site.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date under the title is the latest version. Continuing to use the site after that date means you accept the revised terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the site. A change to an essay is not, by itself, a change to these terms. Only this page changes these terms.
