These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at https://inkwordspublishing.com and the ghostwriting, editing, design, and publishing services offered by Ink Words Publishing (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms.
Ink Words Publishing provides professional book publishing support, which may include ghostwriting, editing, cover design, formatting, ISBN registration, distribution setup, marketing, and related services. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for your project will be defined in a written proposal, statement of work, or invoice agreed upon before work begins.
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement to use our services. By submitting a contact or quote request, you represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorized to share any manuscript or content you submit.
Your content: You retain ownership of your original manuscript, ideas, and materials you provide to us, subject to any licensing needed for us to perform the services.
Deliverables: Upon full payment, ownership of final deliverables created specifically for your project transfers to you as outlined in your project agreement, unless otherwise specified.
Our materials: Our website content, branding, templates, processes, and pre-existing tools remain our intellectual property. You may not copy or redistribute them without written permission.
You agree to:
Each service package includes a defined number of revision rounds as stated in your proposal. Additional revisions may incur extra fees. Final files are considered approved if no written feedback is received within the review period specified in your agreement.
We assist with publishing setup on platforms such as Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Kobo, and others. Platform approval, listing policies, and royalty payments are governed by those third parties. We are not responsible for account suspensions, policy changes, or delays caused by external platforms.
We treat your manuscript and project details as confidential and will not disclose them to third parties except as needed to perform services, with your authorization, or as required by law. Confidentiality obligations survive completion of the project.
Our website and services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied. We do not guarantee specific sales results, bestseller status, or platform acceptance.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ink Words Publishing and its team shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits or data. Our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the specific project giving rise to the claim.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ink Words Publishing, its owners, employees, and contractors from claims, damages, or expenses arising from your content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.
You may not:
We may suspend or terminate access to our website or services if you violate these Terms or fail to meet payment obligations. Provisions that by nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, and limitations of liability — will remain in effect.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts located in New York, NY, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
We may update these Terms at any time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
