Volume 4 of IPP’s Quarterstaff Series
We’ve all been there.
Exhausted, busy, or both… strapped into an undersized airline seat or camped at a coffee shop… and “that guy” (or gal) arrives. The bubbly sorority-girl-forever… the disgruntled MAGAt… the morose Ted Striker wannabe… or magnitudes worse than any of these, the suave fellow who “just wants to get to know you.”
A natural target by virtue of physical appearance, raw animal charm, or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, that familiar sense of impending doom floods your gut. Cornered and logistically vulnerable, you avoid eye contact – exercising a William H. Macy façade of befuddled concentration on anything in close proximity. These subtleties having blown right past “Pat,” an utterly inane and soul-depleting conversation ensues.
Yes, you’ve been there. Trapped like a timeshare seminar victim, inwardly recoiling until it hurts. But it doesn’t have to be that way – at least not anymore.
Introducing the Intrusion Protection Press’s Quarterstaff series. Designed for the emphatically independent social participant, each Quarterstaff volume provides a Swiss Army Knife’s worth of pest repellent options:
- Front cover titles painting you in the worst possible light repulse the amateur gadfly.
- Chapter headers punctuating your interest in uncomfortable or unseemly topics fend off the moderately assertive nuisance.
- Strategically crafted, large-type “flash” messages leave distant pursuers with crystal-clear fair warning.
- A tool of last resort for the close-and-clingy vexation, back cover text makes a final plea for solitude.
Simply offer an unobstructed glance at your preferred message and allow social consequences to manage the rest! *
But that’s not all: Between the off-putting covers and playful chapter headings lie genuine, unadulterated folk and fairy tale goodness! Yes, three dozen classic stories to deepen your distraction, including…
The Flayed Old Lady
The Robber Bridegroom
The Dead Mother
The Girl Who Trod on the Loaf
Ashputtel
And many, many more!

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento
El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
