Terms & Conditions

Terms & Conditions for Authors Book Publishers

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Authors Book Publishers website and any requests, forms, consultations, or services you obtain from us. By using our website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, please do not use the website or services.

Definitions

  • “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”: Authors Book Publishers

  • “Client,” “you,” “your”: any person or business using our site or services

  • “Services”: writing support, editing, formatting, cover design, illustration, author website setup, audiobook support, marketing support, and publishing support

  • “Deliverables”: files or outputs provided as part of a service (drafts, designs, formatted files, etc.)

Use of the Website

You agree to use our website only for lawful purposes and not to:

  • Submit false information

  • Interfere with site security or functionality

  • Upload harmful code or attempt unauthorized access

  • Copy or reuse site content without permission

We may restrict access if we believe the site is being misused.

Consultations, Quotes, and Project Scope

Any consultation, estimate, or quote is informational unless confirmed in writing. A project begins when:

  • Scope is agreed (services, deliverables, timeline), and

  • Payment terms are accepted, and

  • We confirm the start in writing (email or contract).

Scope changes may affect price and timeline and must be agreed in writing.

Client Responsibilities

To keep a project moving, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate project details and materials (notes, drafts, references, preferences)

  • Respond to questions and review requests within a reasonable time

  • Confirm approvals (outline, drafts, design selections) when needed

  • Ensure you have the rights to any content you provide (text, images, trademarks)

Delays in feedback may delay timelines.

Revisions and Approvals

Unless your agreement states otherwise:

  • Revisions are provided as defined in your package/contract

  • Feedback should be submitted in one consolidated message per revision round when possible

  • Work is considered approved when you confirm approval in writing or when you request final files after review

Requests outside the agreed revision scope may require additional fees.

Payments, Fees, and Taxes

Pricing, payment schedules, and accepted payment methods are shared before work begins.

  • Deposits (if applicable) are typically required to start

  • Remaining balances must be paid according to the agreed schedule

  • Taxes or processing fees may apply depending on your location and payment method

Refunds and Cancellations

Because services involve time and customized work:

  • Payments for completed milestones are non-refundable

  • If you cancel mid-project, you are responsible for work completed up to the cancellation date

  • If a refund is offered (when applicable), it will be based on unused, undelivered portions of the scope

Any refund terms will follow the written agreement for your project.

Ownership, Rights, and Licensing

Ownership terms depend on your written agreement and payment status. In general:

  • You retain rights to materials you provide

  • Deliverables are transferred to you according to the contract after required payments are completed

  • Any third-party assets (fonts, stock images, plugins) may require separate licenses purchased by you or included per agreement

We do not provide legal advice on copyright or publishing requirements.

Confidentiality

We treat client materials and project details as confidential and use them only to provide the requested services, unless:

  • You give written permission to share, or

  • We are required by law to disclose information, or

  • Content is already public through no fault of ours

Publishing Platforms and Third Parties

If you request publishing support, you acknowledge:

  • Third-party platforms have their own rules and review processes

  • We do not control platform decisions, listing approvals, or processing times

  • You are responsible for maintaining your accounts and complying with platform policies unless otherwise agreed

We can guide setup steps, but outcomes depend on third parties and your content.

Marketing and Results Disclaimer

If marketing support is included:

  • We do not guarantee sales, rankings, reviews, or specific performance outcomes

  • Results can vary due to budget, genre, market conditions, and other factors

We focus on providing the agreed deliverables and campaign setup/support.

Accuracy, Claims, and Client Content

You are responsible for the final accuracy of your book content, including:

  • Factual claims, citations, and permissions

  • Sensitive or private information

  • Legal risk relating to defamation, privacy, or rights

We can help organize and format content, but you should review final materials carefully.

Communication and Support

We may communicate via email, phone, or messaging based on your preferences. Message frequency may vary. Standard carrier/data rates may apply (if SMS is used).

You can opt out of promotional messages at any time using unsubscribe links or by contacting us.

Intellectual Property on This Website

All website text, branding, visuals, and layout are owned by Authors Book Publishers or licensed for use. You may not copy, republish, or distribute site materials without written permission.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent allowed by law, Authors Book Publishers is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost data, or third-party platform actions. Our total liability for a claim relating to services will not exceed the amount you paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

Some regions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Termination

We may pause or end services if:

  • Payments are overdue

  • The project involves unlawful content or policy violations

  • There is harassment, threats, or repeated misuse of our team or systems

You may end services as described in the cancellation section, subject to payment for completed work.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updates become effective when posted on this page. If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice.
