REFUND POLICY
We are committed to delivering professional, high-quality book publishing, creative, and digital services to our clients. Our refund policy has been established to ensure transparency, fairness, and mutual understanding between the company and its clients.
Refund requests are evaluated based on the nature of the service purchased, the stage of project completion, the resources allocated, and the work already performed.
1. GENERAL REFUND POLICY
Refund eligibility may be restricted or denied under the following circumstances, subject to applicable consumer protection laws:
- A discounted, promotional, or special-offer package has been purchased and was clearly designated as non-refundable before payment.
- The client has approved the initial manuscript assessment, editing sample, book cover concept, website design, or other primary project deliverable, and the project has proceeded to the next production stage.
- The client has requested revisions, modifications, or additional work after approving the initial deliverables, where the applicable service has already been performed.
- The project has been initiated under an urgent, rush, expedited, or priority service arrangement, and the client was informed of any non-refundable charges before purchase.
- The cancellation request is based on personal circumstances unrelated to the company's performance, including a change of mind, financial difficulties, business closure, or disagreement with a business partner.
- The client remains unresponsive or fails to provide required information, approvals, or materials for more than 5 consecutive days after reasonable attempts to contact them. Such inactivity may result in project suspension, and fees for completed work remain non-refundable.
- The client has materially violated the company's terms and conditions, contractual obligations, or applicable project policies.
- The client has engaged another publisher, designer, editor, or service provider to complete the same project, resulting in cancellation or duplication of the original scope of work.
- The client has failed to provide the manuscript, creative brief, content, images, documents, or other information necessary to continue the project. Fees for work already performed remain non-refundable.
- The client requests a complete change in the project scope, manuscript direction, design concept, publishing format, or business requirements after production has begun. Additional charges may apply.
- The refund request is submitted outside the refund-request period disclosed in the applicable service agreement, subject to any mandatory statutory rights.
- The requested service has been fully completed, approved, or delivered in accordance with the agreed project specifications.
- The client has received the final deliverables, including manuscript files, cover designs, publishing files, website files, marketing materials, or other completed project assets.
- The refund request is based solely on subjective preferences after the company has fulfilled the documented and approved scope of work.
- The service was performed by an authorized third-party vendor or subcontractor, and the corresponding work has already been completed. Non-refundable third-party costs may be deducted from any otherwise eligible refund.
2. BOOK PUBLISHING SERVICES
The following conditions apply specifically to book publishing, manuscript development, and publication-related services.
- Manuscript Editing and Proofreading: Once editing, proofreading, rewriting, developmental editing, or manuscript assessment services have commenced, charges corresponding to completed work are non-refundable.
- Book Formatting and Typesetting: Refunds will not be applicable to completed and approved formatting, interior layout, typesetting, or print-ready file preparation services.
- Book Cover Design: Once the client has approved the primary cover concept and requested finalization or production-ready files, fees for completed design work are non-refundable.
- Book Illustrations: Once illustrations have been created, approved, or delivered, the corresponding illustration charges are non-refundable. Major changes outside the agreed creative brief may incur additional charges.
- ISBN Registration: ISBN registration and assignment fees are non-refundable once the ISBNs have been purchased, assigned, or registered for the client's publication.
- Copyright Registration: Government filing fees and completed copyright registration services are non-refundable once the application has been submitted to the relevant authority.
- Author Registration and Publishing Account Setup: Fees for completed author account setup, publisher account setup, or other registration services are non-refundable once those services have been performed or third-party charges have been incurred.
- Book Publishing and Distribution: Once a manuscript has been submitted for publication or distribution through platforms including Amazon KDP, Barnes & Noble, Lulu, Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play Books, or other publishing platforms, fees for completed submission and distribution services are non-refundable.
- Publishing Platform Decisions: The company does not guarantee approval, acceptance, ranking, or continued listing by third-party publishing platforms. Refunds will not be issued solely because of a platform's independent rejection or policy decision, provided the company has fulfilled its contractual obligations.
- Book Printing and Proof Copies: Printing, shipping, proof copy, and print-on-demand charges are non-refundable once the corresponding orders have been processed, except where refunds are required for defective products or other applicable legal rights.
- Publishing Packages: For bundled publishing packages, including editing, proofreading, formatting, cover design, ISBN-related assistance, and distribution, any eligible refund will be calculated based on the specific unperformed services rather than automatically applying to the entire package.
- Complimentary Publishing Services: Services offered free of charge as part of a publishing package have no separate cash refund value. Any promised revisions or corrections remain subject to the agreed package terms.
3. WEBSITE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
- Once a website's primary design concept, wireframe, layout, or homepage has been approved and the project has moved into development, fees for completed design and development work are non-refundable.
- Once the website has been completed, delivered, transferred, or made live following client approval, the corresponding completed service fees are non-refundable.
- Domain registration, domain renewal, SSL certificates, hosting subscriptions, and other third-party digital purchases are generally non-refundable once activated or registered, subject to the provider's terms and applicable law.
- Changes to website requirements, functionality, design direction, e-commerce features, or integrations after approval may require additional charges and do not automatically qualify the project for a refund.
4. DIGITAL MARKETING AND ONLINE SERVICES
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Charges for SEO services already performed, including keyword research, website audits, on-page optimization, backlink activities, and SEO strategy development, are non-refundable.
- Social Media Marketing: Charges for completed content creation, account management, campaign planning, graphic design, scheduling, and related social media marketing services are non-refundable.
- Paid Advertising: Advertising budgets already spent through platforms such as Google Ads, Meta Ads, or other advertising networks are non-refundable by the company. Unspent budgets held by the company will be handled according to the applicable agreement.
- Branding and Graphic Design: Once a logo, business card, brochure, marketing material, or other creative design has been approved and finalized, charges for the completed work are non-refundable.
- Digital Marketing Results: The company does not guarantee specific search engine rankings, sales, website traffic, leads, advertising conversions, or revenue unless expressly agreed in writing. The absence of a particular result alone does not establish eligibility for a refund where the agreed services were properly performed.
- Recurring Services: For monthly SEO, social media management, website maintenance, hosting, or other recurring subscriptions, fees for services already delivered are non-refundable. Cancellation of future services will follow the notice and renewal conditions specified in the service agreement.
5. REFUNDS ON BUNDLED SERVICES
- If a client purchases a bundled package containing multiple services, any eligible refund will be limited to the portion of the package corresponding to services not performed or otherwise eligible for refund.
- Completed services, approved deliverables, non-refundable third-party expenses, and work already performed will be taken into account when determining the refundable amount.
- Complimentary services, bonuses, promotional add-ons, and free upgrades do not carry an independent monetary refund value.
- A client's dissatisfaction with one particular service does not automatically entitle them to a refund for other services that were properly completed under the same package.
6. PROJECT CANCELLATION AND CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
- All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing through the company's official support email or designated project management channel.
- If a project is canceled after work has commenced, the company may retain the amount corresponding to completed services, allocated resources where contractually permitted, and non-recoverable third-party expenses.
- Failure to respond to project communications or provide necessary approvals for 5 consecutive days may result in the project being placed on hold.
- Projects placed on hold for extended periods may be subject to reactivation fees if such fees were disclosed in the original service agreement.
- Client-requested changes to project deadlines, business names, book titles, manuscript content, publishing formats, or scope of work do not automatically entitle the client to a refund.
7. REFUND REQUEST AND REVIEW PROCESS
- Clients requesting a refund must contact the company's official support department and provide their full name, project details, payment reference, and reason for requesting the refund.
- The company will review each eligible request based on the signed service agreement, the original scope of work, communication records, completed milestones, and applicable laws.
- Where a refund is approved, the refundable amount will reflect the value of unperformed services, less any lawful and previously disclosed non-refundable costs.
- Approved refunds will be processed through the original payment method wherever reasonably possible, subject to payment provider requirements and applicable processing timelines.
- Nothing in this policy limits the client's rights to remedies for services that are not delivered, materially defective, misrepresented, or otherwise subject to mandatory refund rights under applicable law.
8. FINAL DELIVERABLES AND OWNERSHIP
- Upon completion of the project and settlement of outstanding payments, the client will receive the final deliverables specified in the purchased package.
- Ownership and usage rights for manuscripts, designs, illustrations, websites, and other creative assets will be governed by the service agreement and any applicable intellectual property provisions.
- Delivery of final approved files generally concludes the corresponding service obligations, except for revisions, corrections, support commitments, or other remedies required by the agreement or applicable law.
