Welcome to Bookwrights House. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Bookwrights House website, services, and applications (collectively, the "Services"). Please read these Terms carefully before using our Services.
By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
1. Introduction and Scope
Bookwrights House provides a range of author, editing, marketing, and publishing services. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or utilize our platform or purchase our service packages.
Book Publishing Services and Manuscript Handling
We recognize that your manuscript is your most valuable asset. When engaging Bookwrights House for editing, publishing, or marketing services (including Author Lens), the following terms specifically apply to your creative works:
Author Copyright Retention
You retain full ownership and copyright of your manuscript. By submitting your work to us, you are granting Bookwrights House a limited, non-exclusive license solely to edit, format, distribute, and market the work strictly in accordance with the specific service agreement you sign with us. We do not claim ownership of your intellectual property.
-
Originality Guarantee: By submitting a manuscript, you warrant that you are the sole author and owner of the work, or that you have secured all necessary permissions, and that the work does not infringe upon any copyright, trademark, or privacy rights of any third party.
-
Confidentiality: We treat all unpublished manuscripts as highly confidential. Our team members and contractors are bound by strict non-disclosure agreements to protect your intellectual property prior to publication.
-
Rejection of Materials: We reserve the right to refuse service or reject any manuscript that we, in our sole discretion, deem to contain hate speech, illegal content, or excessively explicit material that violates our publishing guidelines.
3. Intellectual Property Rights (Bookwrights House)
Aside from the user-submitted manuscripts and materials, all content on the Bookwrights House website—including text, graphics, logos, images, audio clips, digital downloads, and software—is the property of Bookwrights House or its content suppliers and is protected by international copyright and trademark laws.
You may not systematically extract, re-utilize, reproduce, or copy any parts of the content of our website or service packages without our express written consent.
4. User Obligations
When using our website and services, you agree to the following obligations:
-
You will provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account or requesting services.
-
You will not use our services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
-
You will not attempt to hack, destabilize, or adapt our website or any associated platforms.
-
You will communicate respectfully with Bookwrights House staff. Harassment or abusive language will result in immediate termination of services.
5. Disclaimers
While we strive to provide industry-leading publishing and marketing services, Bookwrights House provides all services on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
Sales and Success Disclaimer: We make no guarantees or warranties regarding the commercial success, number of copies sold, or literary reviews your book will receive. The book market is highly competitive, and success depends on numerous factors outside our control.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Bookwrights House, its directors, employees, or agents, be liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the use of, or inability to use, our services.
7. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. By continuing to access or use our Services after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
