Trip with Sumi ("we," "us") operates tripwithsumi.com and offers Seoul, Retold: a personalized book made from a trip you've already taken, combining your own photos and story with writing in the style of the Seoul, Curated guidebook series. We do not plan, book, or arrange any part of your trip — our service begins only after your trip is complete.
You place an order by submitting your trip details, photos, and personal stories through the site, choosing a format (eBook, hardcover, or bundle) and paying the price shown at checkout, which is all-inclusive (shipping for physical orders is calculated and shown before you pay). Payment is processed by PayPal; we never see your card or PayPal login details.
By submitting photos and stories, you confirm that you have the right to share them with us and that doing so doesn't infringe anyone else's rights. You grant us a limited license to use your photos and stories solely to produce your personalized book — we do not use them for our own marketing or any other purpose without asking you separately first.
eBook orders are delivered as a digital file by email. Hardcover and bundle orders are printed and shipped by our print-on-demand partner; typical production and shipping timelines will be communicated after you order. The finished book is for your personal use — it's not licensed for resale or commercial redistribution.
Because your book is made specifically for you, you'll be asked to confirm you understand this cancellation policy with a checkbox at checkout, before you pay — separate from simply agreeing to these Terms.
Text drawn from the Seoul, Curated book series remains the copyright of Trip with Sumi / Sumi Kim. Your own photos and personal stories remain yours. The combined, finished book is licensed to you for personal use only.
We do our best to produce an accurate, high-quality book from what you send us, but we can't guarantee it will be free of every error, and we're not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your order. Our total liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, and any dispute will be resolved in the competent courts of the Republic of Korea.
