Terms of Service
The agreement that governs your use of New York Publish Center and our services.
01 Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the website nypublishcenter.com or engaging New York Publish Center for any service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our website or services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client") and New York Publish Center LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").
For active service engagements, a separate project contract or Statement of Work will govern the specific deliverables, timeline, and pricing agreed between you and New York Publish Center.
02 Our Services
New York Publish Center provides professional book publishing services including, but not limited to: book writing, ghostwriting, book editing, book cover design, book formatting, book publishing, book marketing, audiobook production, and related creative services.
All services are provided on a project-by-project basis as detailed in individual proposals and contracts. We reserve the right to decline any project at our discretion without obligation to provide a reason.
- Services are available to individuals and entities worldwide, subject to applicable law.
- We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at any time with reasonable notice.
- Service descriptions on our website are for illustrative purposes. Specific deliverables are defined in the project contract.
03 Client Accounts & Responsibilities
When you submit a contact form or enter into a service agreement, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and your project.
- Promptly respond to requests for information, approvals, and feedback within agreed timelines.
- Ensure that any materials you provide (text, images, references) do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.
- Not misrepresent your identity, authority, or the nature of your project.
Delays caused by your failure to provide timely approvals, materials, or feedback may result in revised delivery timelines. New York Publish Center will not be held liable for project delays arising from client-side delays.
04 Payment & Billing
Payment terms are outlined in the project proposal and contract agreed before work begins. Standard payment terms include:
- Deposit — a non-refundable deposit (as specified in your contract) is required before production begins. The deposit secures your project slot and covers initial planning costs.
- Milestone payments — larger projects may be structured with milestone-based payments tied to deliverable approvals.
- Final payment — final files and assets are delivered upon receipt of the final payment.
- Late payments — invoices unpaid after 14 days of the due date may incur a late fee of 1.5% per month.
- Currency — all prices are in US Dollars (USD) unless otherwise agreed in writing.
We accept major credit cards, bank transfers, and other payment methods as notified at time of invoicing. All payment information is processed securely by our third-party payment processors.
05 Revisions & Approvals
New York Publish Center provides unlimited revisions on all deliverables until you are completely satisfied, subject to the following conditions:
- Revision requests must fall within the original project scope defined in your contract.
- Requests that constitute a change in scope (e.g., a complete change in direction, genre, or style after work has begun) may be subject to additional fees, which will be communicated in advance.
- Revision rounds are conducted via written communication (email or our project management system).
- Once you give written approval of a final deliverable, that element is considered complete. Reversion to a prior version after approval may incur additional charges.
06 Intellectual Property
Upon receipt of final payment, full copyright and intellectual property ownership of all deliverables produced for your project transfers to you. This includes manuscripts, cover designs, formatted files, and all other project assets.
You receive 100% of copyright ownership and all associated royalties. New York Publish Center retains no rights to your work after project completion and final payment.
You grant New York Publish Center a limited, non-exclusive licence to use your published book title, cover image, and a brief description of the project for our portfolio and marketing materials (e.g., our website, case studies), unless you request otherwise in writing.
You represent and warrant that all content and materials you supply to us are original, owned by you, or properly licensed, and do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.
07 Confidentiality
New York Publish Center treats all client project information as strictly confidential. We do not disclose your manuscript, project details, or identity to any third party without your written consent, except as required to deliver the service (e.g., to a platform publisher during the publishing process).
Clients may request a formal Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) at any point before or during a project. We are happy to sign NDAs as standard practice at no cost.
This confidentiality obligation survives the termination of any service agreement between you and New York Publish Center.
08 Warranties & Disclaimers
New York Publish Center warrants that:
- All services will be performed with reasonable skill and care by qualified professionals.
- Deliverables will substantially conform to the specifications agreed in your project contract.
- We will perform services in compliance with applicable laws.
