MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION TERMS AND CONDITIONS
By submitting your manuscript ("the Work") to Library Tales Publishing ("the Company"), you agree to the following terms and conditions:
Submission at Own Risk:
Authors submit their work at their own risk. The Company is not responsible for maintaining copies of the submitted material, or for the return of submitted material in any form. Authors are strongly advised to retain a copy of any material submitted.
Submission and Evaluation, No Implied Contract:
By submitting the Work, the author agrees that they are submitting their manuscript solely for evaluation by the Company. The act of submission does not, in itself, create any contractual relationship between the author and the Company, nor does it guarantee that the Company will undertake to publish the Work. The Company retains full discretion over whether to pursue publication of any submitted work, and will only be obligated to the author if and when a separate, formal publishing agreement has been executed by both parties. The Company is under no obligation or liability if it chooses not to publish the submitted Work.
Absence of Confidentiality Obligation:
While the Company will make its best effort to respect the confidentiality of the Works, the author acknowledges that the inherent nature of internet-based transmissions and online storage of data impedes the Company from pledging absolute guarantees of confidentiality. Therefore, the Company is not legally bound to handle submitted Works under conditions of confidentiality. The author acknowledges that their submissions aren't furnished under any explicit or implied confidential or fiduciary agreement, and that no such relationship is formed between the author and the Company through this submission process.
No Guarantee of Review or Feedback:
The submission of a manuscript does not guarantee that the Company will review, give feedback, or respond to the author regarding the Work.
Author’s Representation and Intellectual Property Rights:
The author hereby asserts and guarantees that they are the unique author of the Work, that the Work is original and does not infringe on any copyrights, violate any property rights, or contain any scandalous, libelous, or unlawful content. The author also assures that no other entity has claimed the rights that they are intending to grant to the Company under these terms. Importantly, the author also warrants that the work was not created solely or primarily by artificial intelligence or any other AI entities. The Company maintains a firm stance on prioritizing human creativity and originality, thus reserving the right to refuse publishing books wholly or primarily written by AI. The author's acceptance of these terms denotes their understanding and compliance with this specific condition.
Indemnification:
The author agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its employees, agents, and affiliates against any claims, losses, costs, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of any breach or alleged breach by the author of any representation, warranty, or obligation set forth in these terms.
Non-exclusive License:
By submitting the Work, the author grants a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license to the Company to consider the Work and to discuss it within the Company, as necessary.
No Responsibility for Submitted Material:
By submitting the Work, the author agrees to hold the Company harmless against any claims, costs, damages, losses and expenses, including legal fees, arising out of or in relation to the submission, use, or non-use of the Work.
Potential Similarity with Other Works:
The author acknowledges and agrees that the Company might have projects or products under consideration or in development that are similar to the submitted Work. Any similarity between the submitted material and any future project or product of the Company is purely coincidental. The author agrees to waive any claim it might otherwise have in relation to such similarity.
Termination:
The Company reserves the right to terminate its consideration of the Work at any time, for any reason, without incurring any liability to the author.
Changes to Terms and Conditions:
The Company reserves the right to revise these terms and conditions at any time. The author agrees to be bound by such revisions, and therefore should periodically visit this page to review the current terms and conditions to which they are bound.
