Website terms of use
These terms describe the purpose and use of the AuthorUpside website. Publishing, marketing, and commercial relationships require their own written agreement.
What this website provides
AuthorUpside introduces its e-publishing, marketing, resale, and distribution activities and accepts inquiries from authors and potential partners. The website does not execute a publishing agreement, sell books, process royalties, or establish a distribution appointment.
The stated service model
The core offer is free e-publishing and marketing with no upfront fees for those services, supported by an agreed revenue share on copies sold. The offer does not make every additional format, production expense, editing service, physical printing or shipping cost, or outside service free. Scope is discussed before work begins.
Submitting an inquiry
Provide accurate information and submit only work you have authority to discuss. The team may use the details you provide to evaluate and respond to the inquiry as described in the privacy notice. An inquiry does not guarantee acceptance, publication, a response deadline, or a business relationship.
Your work and any future agreement
Submitting a synopsis, description, or link does not transfer copyright, grant a publishing license, or commit you to a revenue share. Rights, license scope, revenue calculation, agreed deductions, payment timing, exclusivity, duration, and termination are matters for a separate written agreement. Review those terms before proceeding.
Sales and availability
Marketing and publishing activity cannot guarantee sales, income, bestseller status, or placement with any retailer or distribution partner. Descriptions of potential activity are subject to the scope and arrangements agreed for a particular project.
Responsible use
Do not use the site to send unlawful, misleading, or abusive material; submit work without authority; impersonate another person; interfere with the service; or attempt to access private submissions or administration. Do not include passwords, payment details, or unnecessary sensitive information in an inquiry.
Links and website materials
Third-party websites linked or submitted through an inquiry are controlled by their respective operators. A link does not establish endorsement or a commercial relationship. AuthorUpside’s name, design, and original website content should not be used in ways that imply authorization or affiliation without permission.
Questions and updates
Information and website features may be updated over time. If something is unclear, inaccurate, or not working, contact brett@secondscreencollective.com. These website terms do not replace any signed agreement between the relevant parties.
