Terms & Conditions.

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern all services provided by Oakwood Publishers ("we", "us", "our") to clients ("you", "the Client"). By engaging our services, signing a proposal, or making a payment, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

We provide book publishing services (including ghostwriting, editing, proofreading, design, formatting, distribution, and audiobook production) and book marketing services (including social media, ads, PR, and Amazon optimization). The exact scope, deliverables, and timeline of each engagement will be defined in a written proposal or statement of work agreed between both parties.

Fees, milestones, and payment schedules are outlined in each proposal. Work begins once the initial payment has been received. Late or missed payments may result in a pause or delay of services until the account is brought current.

You retain full ownership and copyright of your manuscript, book, and any final creative works produced for you, upon full payment of all fees. We may retain samples of completed work for our internal records and, only with your prior written permission, use non-confidential excerpts or covers for portfolio and marketing purposes.

You agree to provide accurate information, timely feedback, and any materials required to complete the work. Delays in providing feedback or materials may extend the project timeline. You are responsible for ensuring that any content you provide does not infringe on the rights of any third party.

Each deliverable includes a defined number of revision rounds as outlined in your proposal. Additional revisions beyond that scope may be quoted separately. Approval of a stage means we may proceed to the next stage; substantive rework of an approved stage may incur additional fees.

We are not liable for outcomes outside of our reasonable control, including but not limited to sales performance, book rankings, third-party platform decisions, or reader response. Our maximum liability in connection with any project shall not exceed the total fees paid by you for the specific service in question.

Either party may terminate an engagement in writing. Fees for work completed up to the date of termination remain payable. Refunds, where applicable, are handled per Section 4.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version applicable to your engagement is the one in effect on the date your proposal is signed or payment is made.
