Legal
Terms & Conditions.
1. Overview
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the DraftDoc website and the services offered through it, including beta reading, editing, proofreading, and book cover design. By using this website or engaging DraftDoc for a service, you agree to these terms.
2. Services
DraftDoc provides creative services for authors as described on the beta reading, editing, and book cover design pages. The scope, deliverables, timeline, and price of each project are agreed on in writing before work begins.
3. Inquiries & Quotes
Submitting an inquiry form or contacting DraftDoc does not create a binding agreement. A project begins only once scope, pricing, and timeline have been agreed on by both parties.
4. Payment
Pricing for services is quoted per project. Public starting rates, where shown, are a guide and may vary based on the specific project. Payment terms are agreed on before work starts and confirmed in writing.
5. Your Content & Rights
You retain all rights to your manuscript, story, characters, and written content at all times. Feedback and suggested edits are provided to help you make decisions about your own work; you decide what to accept or reject.
You confirm that any material you share with DraftDoc is your own work or that you have the right to share it.
6. Cover Design Deliverables
Completed cover designs are created for your book and delivered as agreed in the project scope. DraftDoc may display completed covers in its portfolio unless you request otherwise.
7. Confidentiality
Unpublished manuscripts and project information are treated as confidential during the working relationship. DraftDoc does not publicly display or share a client’s manuscript without permission, except where disclosure is required by law or necessary to provide an agreed service. Formal NDA requests may be discussed before work begins.
8. No Guaranteed Outcomes
Feedback, editing, and design services are professional opinions and creative work. DraftDoc does not guarantee publication, sales, reviews, or any specific commercial outcome for your book.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DraftDoc is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from the use of this website or its services. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
10. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be updated from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page.
