At Publishing Nerds, clarity is important. For the purpose of these terms, “We,” “Us,” or “Our” refers to Publishing Nerds, the service provider. “You” or “Your” refers to the client, user, or customer availing of our services. “Services” include but are not limited to book editing, ghostwriting, publishing consultations, and marketing efforts. These definitions help set clear expectations for both parties and ensure mutual understanding throughout our engagement.
We specialize in providing tailored services to authors at all stages of their writing journey. Whether you need precise editing to refine your manuscript, ghostwriting to bring your ideas to life, publishing assistance to navigate the industry, or marketing strategies to promote your book, our team is here to assist. While we guarantee professionalism and diligence in delivering these services, ultimate responsibility for content approval, legal compliance, and post-publishing success lies with you, the client. External factors such as market demand, reader reception, and third-party actions are beyond our control.
As a client, your active participation is essential for the success of your project. This includes providing accurate, timely, and complete information about your project, responding promptly to queries, and supplying all necessary materials, such as drafts or guidelines. Any delays or miscommunications on your part may affect the project timeline and outcome. Additionally, you must ensure that your manuscript does not contain plagiarized material, offensive content, or anything that infringes on intellectual property rights.
We require payment to be processed according to the terms outlined in your contract or invoice. For larger projects, an upfront deposit is necessary to begin work, with remaining balances payable upon completion. Payments are processed through secure gateways, ensuring the safety of your financial information. Failure to make payments on time may result in project delays or additional fees. Refunds are only offered in rare cases where we fail to deliver as per the agreed terms, and they are issued solely at our discretion.
Your intellectual property is yours to own. All manuscripts, drafts, and creative content you provide remain your property. For ghostwriting and editing services, the final deliverables become your sole property upon full payment. Publishing Nerds does, however, reserve the right to use anonymized excerpts or testimonials for portfolio purposes unless explicitly prohibited in writing. We strongly encourage you to retain your own copies of all materials, as we are not liable for loss or corruption of data once the project is complete.
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our services. We take every measure to protect your ideas, manuscripts, and personal information. All employees, contractors, and affiliates working on your project are bound by confidentiality agreements. If required, we are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to provide additional peace of mind. Your trust is our priority, and we ensure your project details remain private at all times.
Your satisfaction is important to us, and we offer reasonable revisions to ensure the project aligns with your expectations. However, revision requests must fall within the scope of the original agreement. Excessive or out-of-scope changes may incur additional charges. Refunds are limited and apply only if Publishing Nerds fails to deliver the agreed-upon services. Refund eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis and excludes completed or approved work.
