Terms & Conditions
A legal disclaimer
The information presented on this page serves as a general guideline for authors regarding the establishment of Terms & Conditions for their publishing activities. It is not intended as legal counsel and should not replace professional legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances. We encourage authors to seek legal assistance to create a Terms & Conditions document that suits their unique needs.
Terms & Conditions - the basics
Terms and Conditions (T&C) are a set of legal agreements set forth by you, the author, to govern the interactions you have with your readers and customers. These T&C outline the legal obligations and rights of both parties, ensuring a clear understanding of the relationship you wish to establish. T&C are essential for protecting your intellectual property and setting guidelines for the purchase and use of your works.
What to include in the T&C document
Typically, T&C documents for authors address various key issues: the rights of readers to use the content, payment methods for book purchases, information on potential changes in content offerings, details of any warranties or guarantees related to the books, intellectual property rights, and your rights to manage or limit access to your works as needed.
