Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions

Effective date: October 4, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of this website and to any reservation or purchase of the cookbook Mangia! Mangia! ("the Book"). The website and the Book are owned and operated by Nadia Nascimben ("we," "us," "our") of Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.
By using this website, reserving a copy or placing an order, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Refund and Cancellation Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or place an order.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to place an order. If you are younger, a parent or guardian must place the order for you.
2. The Book
Mangia! Mangia! is a limited first printing, published in memory of Nonna Antonietta. We describe the Book as accurately as we can. However:
•    colours, paper and printing may differ slightly from the photos and descriptions on this website
•    small variations between copies are a normal part of printing and are not defects
•    details such as page count and format may change slightly before printing is complete
3. Reservations and orders
Reservations: reserving a copy holds one for you while supplies last. A reservation is not a completed purchase, and you are not charged until you pay.
Orders: an order is accepted only when we send you a confirmation email. We may refuse or cancel any reservation or order, for example if:
•    the Book is sold out
•    there is an error in the price or description
•    we suspect fraud or misuse
•    we cannot verify your information
If we cancel an order you have paid for, we will refund you in full.
Limited quantities: copies are limited. Reservations and orders are filled in the order they are received. We may limit how many copies one person can buy.
4. Prices and payment
•    All prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD).
•    Applicable taxes, including GST/HST, and any shipping charges are added at checkout or confirmed before you pay.
•    If a price is listed incorrectly because of an error, we will contact you before processing your order. You may then cancel for a full refund.
•    We may change prices at any time, but changes will not affect orders already confirmed.
•    Online payments are processed securely by a third-party payment processor. By paying, you confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method.
5. Pickup
If you choose to pick up your copy at the book launch or another arranged location, please bring your confirmation email. If you cannot attend, contact us to arrange another pickup or shipping, which may cost extra.
If a paid copy is not picked up within 30 days of the pickup date and we cannot reach you, we may ship it to the address you gave us at your cost, or cancel the order and refund you less any costs we incurred.
6. Shipping
•    We currently ship within Canada only.
•    Delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed.
•    We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, postal disruptions or strikes, weather or customs.
•    Please make sure your shipping address is correct. If a package is returned because of an incorrect address, reshipping costs are your responsibility.
•    If your package is lost or arrives damaged, contact us within 14 days and we will work with you and the carrier to resolve it, as set out in our Refund and Cancellation Policy.
7. Dedications and personalized copies
If you request a dedication:
•    you are responsible for the spelling of names and wording, so please check your request carefully
•    we may decline any dedication that is offensive, inappropriate or infringes someone else's rights
•    personalized copies cannot be cancelled once the dedication is written, and cannot be returned unless they arrive damaged or defective
8. Refunds and cancellations
Cancellations, returns and refunds are governed by our Refund and Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
