Privacy and terms

How we handle your information, and the terms of our work together.

Privacy

We collect the information you send through our forms, such as your name, email address and book details, to reply to your enquiry and provide our services. We do not sell personal information.

To show this site in your language, we look up your country from your IP address the first time you visit, using the GeoJS service. Only the country is kept, on your own device, for 30 days.

Service terms

Scope, timing, fees, revision limits, author responsibilities and deliverables are confirmed in writing before paid work begins.

Results are not guaranteed. Publishing and marketing outcomes depend on the book, the market, timing, platforms and the author’s own efforts.

Refunds

Refund eligibility depends on the signed project agreement, the work already completed and any third-party costs already committed. Approved third-party expenses are generally non-refundable.

Intellectual property

Authors keep the rights to their manuscripts and pre-existing materials. Ownership and usage rights for commissioned work are set out in the project agreement.
