Refunds and returns

Every book is made for one child, so it can't be resold. That's why you see a free preview and approve every page first, and why we fix problems rather than argue about them.

Last updated 5 October 2026

Before you pay

You see the cover and the first illustrated pages free, plus the full story. If it is not right, don't buy it. Nothing is charged until you choose a book.

After you pay

You can still fix any page free: repaint it, describe changes, change the words, or use your own picture. Your PDF and print files update automatically. Most concerns are solved this way within minutes.

Digital books

Because a digital book is delivered immediately and made only for you, it is not returnable once downloaded. If we are unable to produce a book you are happy with after reasonable fixes, contact us within 7 days of purchase and we will refund you in full.

Printed books

How refunds are paid

Refunds go back to the card you paid with, within 5 to 10 working days of approval. We will email you a credit note.

How to ask

Email hello@herotales.co.za with your order number (it is on your invoice email) and, for printed books, a photo of the problem.
