This may include:

  • Images and illustrations

Ebook Local Publisher is not responsible for delays resulting from missing, inaccurate, incomplete, or late customer information or materials.

3. Quotes and Service Packages

Prices may vary depending on the scope, complexity, timeline, and requirements of a project.

A quotation or proposal provided to a customer may include:

  • Services included

  • Project price

  • Payment schedule

  • Estimated timeline

  • Number of revisions

  • Deliverables

  • Additional terms or requirements

Unless otherwise stated in writing, services outside the agreed scope may result in additional charges.

A quotation does not necessarily constitute a final service agreement until the customer accepts the proposal and/or makes the required payment.

4. Payments

Customers agree to pay the fees specified in their approved proposal, invoice, or service agreement.

Depending on the project, payment may be required:

  • In full before work begins;

  • Through an agreed deposit and balance arrangement; or

  • According to an agreed milestone schedule.

Work may not begin until the required initial payment has been received and cleared.

If a payment is delayed, declined, reversed, disputed, or otherwise not received, Ebook Local Publisher may pause work until the payment issue is resolved.

Customers remain responsible for any fees that have already been earned or for work completed before a project is paused or cancelled.

5. Project Timelines

We make reasonable efforts to complete projects within the estimated timeframe communicated to the customer.

Estimated delivery times may depend on:

  • The complexity of the project

  • Customer responsiveness

  • Availability of required materials

  • Number of revisions

  • Third-party platforms

  • Technical requirements

  • Approval times

Project timelines may be extended when delays are caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control or by delayed customer feedback or materials.

An estimated delivery date is not a guaranteed deadline unless a specific deadline guarantee has been expressly agreed to in writing.

6. Revisions and Approvals

The number of revisions included in a project will depend on the customer’s selected package or written agreement.

Customers are expected to review proofs, drafts, designs, formatting, and other deliverables carefully and provide clear feedback.

Once a customer approves a final design, manuscript, formatting file, or other deliverable, additional changes may be treated as new work and may incur additional charges.

Changes that substantially alter the original project scope may also be subject to additional fees.

7. Customer-Provided Content

Customers retain responsibility for the content they provide to Ebook Local Publisher.

This includes ensuring that they have the necessary rights, permissions, licenses, and authorizations to use:

  • Manuscripts

  • Photographs

  • Illustrations

  • Logos

  • Artwork

  • Quotes

  • Trademarks

  • Other third-party materials

The customer agrees not to provide materials that are knowingly unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, infringing, or otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the customer retains ownership of original content and materials they provide to Ebook Local Publisher.

Upon full payment for the applicable services, the customer will generally receive the final project deliverables specifically included in their purchased package.

Ebook Local Publisher retains ownership of its pre-existing tools, systems, templates, processes, techniques, software, internal resources, and other materials developed independently of the customer’s project.

Third-party fonts, stock images, software, publishing platforms, templates, or other licensed materials may remain subject to the applicable third-party license terms.

9. Portfolio and Marketing Use

Unless the customer requests confidentiality in writing or a separate confidentiality agreement states otherwise, Ebook Local Publisher may display limited information about completed work in its portfolio, website, social media, or promotional materials.

We will not intentionally disclose confidential manuscript content or sensitive customer information for promotional purposes.

Customers may contact us if they have specific confidentiality requirements that should be agreed upon before work begins.

10. Publishing Platforms and Third-Party Services

Ebook Local Publisher may assist customers with third-party publishing or distribution platforms.

These platforms may include ebook stores, print-on-demand services, distributors, payment processors, advertising platforms, or other third-party services.

Third-party platforms establish their own:

  • Terms of service

  • Approval requirements

  • Content policies

  • Royalties

  • Fees

  • Payment schedules

  • Account requirements

  • Distribution policies

Ebook Local Publisher cannot guarantee that a third-party platform will approve, distribute, promote, or continue to distribute a customer’s book.

We are also not responsible for changes made by third-party platforms to their policies, algorithms, fees, services, or technical requirements.

11. ISBN, Copyright, and Registration Services

Where offered, Ebook Local Publisher may provide assistance with ISBN acquisition, copyright registration, publishing setup, or related administrative processes.

Such services are provided as assistance and do not constitute legal advice or a guarantee that a government agency, registration authority, publisher, distributor, or other third party will approve an application.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate information required for registrations and applications.

12. Marketing Services

Where marketing services are purchased, Ebook Local Publisher may provide services such as promotional strategy, advertising assistance, social media support, campaign management, or other agreed marketing activities.

Marketing services do not guarantee:

  • Book sales

  • Specific revenue

  • Bestseller status

  • Reviews

  • Rankings

  • Followers

  • Advertising performance

  • Publishing platform acceptance

Marketing results can be affected by numerous factors outside our control, including market conditions, book quality, pricing, audience demand, competition, advertising platforms, and customer participation.

13. Refunds and Cancellations

Refund eligibility depends on the service purchased, the amount of work already completed, and the terms stated in the customer’s proposal, invoice, or service agreement.

Because many publishing services involve customized work and dedicated resources, payments may become non-refundable once work has begun or services have been performed.

If a customer wishes to cancel a project, they should contact Ebook Local Publisher as soon as possible.

Where applicable, refunds will be evaluated based on:

  • Work already completed

  • Third-party costs already incurred

  • Services already delivered

  • Resources allocated to the project

  • The terms of the applicable service agreement

Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove any refund or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

14. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Customers are encouraged to contact Ebook Local Publisher first if they believe there is an issue with a payment or service.

We will make reasonable efforts to investigate and resolve legitimate billing concerns.

Unauthorized or fraudulent payment disputes may be challenged using applicable transaction records, invoices, communications, approvals, and project documentation.

15. Confidentiality

We understand that customers may share unpublished manuscripts, business information, personal information, marketing strategies, and other confidential materials.

We will use reasonable measures to protect confidential customer information and will only use such information as reasonably necessary to provide the requested services, operate our business, comply with legal obligations, or protect our legitimate interests.

Customers requiring a specific confidentiality arrangement may request a separate written confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement.

16. Accuracy of Information

Customers are responsible for reviewing all final materials before publication or distribution.

This includes checking:

  • Author names

  • Book titles

  • Copyright information

  • ISBN information

  • Page numbers

  • Text

  • Images

  • Pricing

  • Metadata

  • Formatting

  • Publishing information

Ebook Local Publisher encourages customers to carefully review and approve final proofs before publication.

Once a customer approves final materials, responsibility for errors that were visible and could reasonably have been identified during the approval process may rest with the customer.
