REFUNDS/WORK TERMINATION The Publisher is obligated to issue a refund in the event of the Author terminating the agreement with the company for any of the following reasons: a. A breach of contract by the publisher, b. Termination of the agreement after the Author submitted the manuscript but before the commencement of interior design, or c. Termination of the agreement after the commencement of interior design but before the completion of the Digital Preview Approval Form.
The Author is eligible for a complete refund, excluding a $100 administrative fee, in the event of a breach of contract by the company (Publisher). This fee is intended to cover the Author’s incurred set-up costs.
However, should the agreement be terminated after the Author submits the manuscript but before the commencement of interior design, a partial refund of 25% of the purchase price will be provided to the Author. Similarly, if the agreement is terminated after the initiation of interior design but before the completion of the Digital Preview Approval Form, the Author will only receive a 25% refund of the purchase price. It is crucial to note that the Author’s right to claim a refund will be forfeited if the Required Materials for publishing the Work are not provided within six (6) months from the date of the service order.
The company does not offer refunds for fees associated with pre-publication and post-publication services, including copyediting, corrections, and book sales. Additionally, there is no refund available for the publication of second and subsequent editions of the Author’s book.
In the event of the company terminating the publication of the Work due to a breach of contract by the Author, no refund will be provided. The Publisher retains the right to discontinue or terminate the publication of the Author’s book without cause. In such cases, the rights granted by the Author to the company for marketing and publishing the Work will revert to the Author.
The Publisher retains the right to cease the publication of the Author’s work at its discretion, provided there is evidence indicating that the Author’s book poses adverse commercial consequences and a risk of litigation to the company. A written notice of termination, with a 30-day advance notice period, will be issued to the Author before the legal termination of the publication of the Work. If such notice is given prior to the publication of the Work, the company is obligated to refund amounts paid by the Author client, deducting a $100 fee. This fee is intended to cover the set-up costs incurred by the Author and serves to conclude any further obligations between the parties.
