Terms and Conditions

Welcome to NY Book Press. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our website and the services we offer, including self-publishing support, book editing, and book illustration. By visiting our site, placing an order, or using any of our services, you agree to the terms set out below. If you do not agree with them, please do not use our website or services.

About These Terms

These terms form an agreement between you and NY Book Press. They apply to every visitor, client, and user of our website and services. We may update these terms from time to time, and any changes take effect once we post them on this page. We suggest reviewing this page now, and then so you stay aware of the current terms.

Our Services

NY Book Press offers support to authors across three main areas: guidance through the self-publishing process, editing of manuscripts, and creation of book illustrations. The exact scope of any project depends on what you and NY Book Press agree to in writing before the work begins. We aim to describe our services clearly, though the details, timelines, and deliverables for each project are confirmed on a case-by-case basis.

Placing an Order

When you place an order with us, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and complete. An order is accepted once we confirm it and, where applicable, receive the agreed payment. We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order if we are unable to complete it, if the request falls outside our services, or if we believe the request involves unlawful or harmful content.

Fees and Payment

The fees for each service are agreed before work starts. Payment terms, including any deposits or installments, are set out at the time of your order. Unless stated otherwise, work begins once the agreed payment or deposit has been received. Any additional work beyond the original scope may involve extra fees, which we will confirm with you before proceeding.

Revisions and Changes

Where a project includes revisions, the number and scope of those revisions are agreed in advance. Requests that go beyond the agreed scope may be treated as new work and may carry additional charges. We will always let you know before any extra cost applies.

Refunds and Cancellations

Refund and cancellation terms depend on the service and the stage of the project. Because our work involves time and effort applied to your specific project, refunds may be limited once work is underway. Any refund or cancellation terms that apply to your order will be shared with you at the time of purchase. If you have concerns about a completed project, contact us so we can try to resolve the matter.

Your Responsibilities

To help your project run smoothly, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information when we request it
• Supply any materials, files, or details needed for the work in good time
• Respond to questions and requests within a reasonable period
• Confirm that any content you share with us is yours to use, or that you have permission to use it
• Review deliverables and give feedback within the agreed timeframe

Delays in providing materials or feedback may affect project timelines.

Ownership of Your Work

You keep ownership of your manuscript and the ideas behind it. Once a project is complete and any outstanding payment has been settled, the rights to the finished work, including the edited manuscript and any illustrations created for you, belong to you. We may keep copies of completed work for our records, and, where you agree, we may display samples of it in our portfolio.

Original Content and Third-Party Material

You confirm that the content you provide is original to you or that you hold the rights to use it. You are responsible for making sure your material does not infringe anyone else's rights, including copyright, trademark, or privacy rights. NY Book Press is not liable for claims arising from content you supply.

Confidentiality

We treat the materials and information you share with us as confidential and use them only for the purpose of delivering your project. We do not share your manuscript or project details with outside parties except as needed to complete the work or as required by law.

Website Use

You agree to use our website lawfully and not to:

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site or its systems
• Interfere with the normal operation or security of the website
• Copy, reproduce, or distribute content from the site without permission
• Use the site to send unlawful, harmful, or misleading material

We may suspend or limit access to the website if we believe it is being misused.

Intellectual Property of the Website

The content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, and layout, belongs to NY Book Press or is used with permission. You may view and use the site for its intended purpose, but you may not reproduce or reuse our website content without our written consent.

Third-Party Links

Our website may include links to other websites for your convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or practices. Visiting a linked site is at your own discretion, and we suggest reviewing the terms and policies of any site you visit.

Limitation of Liability

We take care in delivering our services, though we cannot promise a specific commercial result from any book. To the extent the law allows, NY Book Press is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from the use of our website or services. Our total liability for any claim connected to a project is limited to the amount you paid for that project.

No Guarantee of Outcomes

Our services are designed to support you in preparing and publishing your book. Sales, readership, reviews, and similar results depend on many factors outside our control, and we do not promise any particular level of success.

Communications

By providing your contact details, you agree that we may reach out to you regarding your inquiry, order, or project. You can manage or opt out of certain communications as described in our Privacy Policy.

Changes to Services and Terms

We may change, pause, or discontinue any part of our services or website at any time. We may also revise these terms, and continued use of our site or services after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws that apply in the jurisdiction where NY Book Press operates. Any dispute connected to these terms or our services will be handled under those laws.
