The author remains responsible for the originality, legality, accuracy, and authenticity of the manuscript and all materials supplied to us.
We may request declarations, permissions, identity documents, source files, or other supporting information where reasonably necessary.
7. Copyright and Ownership
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the author retains copyright in the author’s original manuscript.
Submitting a manuscript grants us a limited permission to access, store, review, copy, and internally share the manuscript for evaluation, quotation, project planning, editing, design, production, and communication purposes.
After a publishing agreement is accepted, the author grants us the rights reasonably necessary to edit, format, design, print, reproduce, list, distribute, display, promote, market, and sell the book according to the applicable agreement.
The publishing agreement may contain additional provisions relating to territory, formats, duration, distribution, royalties, termination, and use of promotional material.
8. Designs and Creative Materials
Book covers, interior layouts, promotional graphics, reels, videos, templates, advertising material, website designs, certificates, magazine pages, and other creative materials produced by us may contain intellectual property owned or licensed by Ananta Press International.
Ownership and permitted use of final creative materials will be governed by the package, invoice, written communication, or signed agreement.
Unpaid, rejected, watermarked, preliminary, sample, or unapproved designs may not be copied, published, altered, distributed, or used without written permission.
Editable or source files are not included unless specifically stated in writing.
9. Website Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the design, layout, logo, text, graphics, videos, service descriptions, promotional content, downloadable material, and other original content appearing on this website belong to or are licensed to Ananta Press International.
You may not reproduce, republish, sell, scrape, modify, distribute, or commercially exploit our website content without written permission.
Copyright in books displayed or sold on the website may belong to the relevant author or copyright owner. Display or sale of a book through our website does not by itself transfer the author’s copyright to Ananta Press International.
10. Scope of Publishing Packages
Only the services expressly mentioned in the selected package, quotation, invoice, proposal, or signed agreement are included.
Services not specifically mentioned will be treated as additional services and may require additional payment.

A payment made for one project, package, book, author, event, or service cannot be transferred to another project or person without our written approval.
Payment-gateway fees, currency-conversion fees, international transaction fees, and bank charges may be payable by the customer.
12. Commencement of Work
A project may be treated as commenced when any of the following occurs:
- A project manager is assigned;
- The manuscript is reviewed;
- Editing or formatting begins;
- A cover or interior design is started;
- ISBN, barcode, copyright, hosting, domain, advertising, printing, or another third-party service is ordered;
- Promotional content is prepared;
- A media, podcast, magazine, newspaper, or event slot is booked;

13. Project Timelines
All timelines are estimates unless expressly guaranteed in writing.
Project timelines depend on:

- Timely approval of files;
- Number of corrections;
- Availability of documents and permissions;
- Printer and courier operations;
- Marketplace review and approval;
- Third-party service providers;

- Public holidays;
- Events beyond our reasonable control.
A delay caused by incomplete content, late responses, repeated changes, payment delay, or delayed approval by the author will extend the project timeline.
14. Author Communication and Approvals
The author must review all files carefully before granting final approval.
Final files, including manuscript interiors, cover files, book description, author name, subtitle, price, MRP, ISBN information, and other publication details, should be approved in writing.
Email shall be treated as the primary official channel for final-file and production approval. Approval through another recorded communication channel may also be accepted at our discretion.
Once final approval has been given and the book has entered printing, listing, distribution, or production, further changes may:
- Require additional charges;
- Cause delays;
- Require a new edition or ISBN;
- Be impossible on copies already printed, sold, distributed, or downloaded.
Ananta Press International will not be responsible for errors that were present in author-supplied content or that remained after the author approved the final files.
15. Corrections and Revisions
Packages may include a limited number of corrections or revision rounds.
Corrections should be submitted clearly and, wherever possible, in one consolidated document or email.
Additional charges may apply for:
- Rewriting after editing is complete;
- Replacing large sections of approved content;
- Changing the title, subtitle, author name, trim size, or design after approval;
- Repeated cover redesign;
- Adding new chapters after formatting;
- Correcting errors after printing or platform upload.
16. Printing and Production Variations
Minor variations may occur between digital proofs and final printed products due to:
- Screen settings;
- Printing processes;
- Paper stock;
- Ink absorption;
- Lamination;
- Binding;
- Cutting and trimming;
- Print-on-demand equipment;
- Different production batches.
Reasonable variations in colour, alignment, paper shade, trimming, or binding that do not materially affect the usability of the book will not be treated as defects.
17. Distribution and Marketplace Listings
We may assist with listing books on marketplaces, distributors, e-book platforms, or retail websites.
Third-party platforms retain control over their own:
- Review procedures;
- Listing timelines;
- Product categories;
- Availability;
- Pricing display;
- Delivery eligibility;
- Search ranking;
- Account policies;
- Content restrictions;

We do not guarantee permanent listing, uninterrupted availability, Amazon Prime status, sales ranking, bestseller status, search placement, reviews, bookstore acceptance, or a specific number of sales.

Media, newspaper, magazine, PR, podcast, and platform services may be delivered through third-party partners. Publication dates and placements may be affected by editorial policies, availability, technical issues, or third-party decisions.
Where a specific publication or platform becomes unavailable, we may offer a reasonably similar alternative of comparable value.
19. Awards and Nomination Programmes
Rules, dates, categories, judging criteria, eligibility, deliverables, and announcements for awards or literary programmes may be published separately.
Where a nomination is described as free, no fee shall be charged merely for submitting the nomination.
Optional paid award boxes, promotional packages, certificates, medals, trophies, magazine features, interviews, podcasts, or publicity services are separate from the merit-based evaluation process unless expressly stated otherwise.
Purchasing a promotional package does not guarantee selection as a winner and should not influence an independent jury decision.
Award or nomination material submitted by the participant may be used for evaluation, programme administration, announcements, and agreed promotional activities.
20. Royalties
Royalty arrangements will be governed by the applicable publishing agreement.
Royalties may be calculated on the amount actually received from distributors, marketplaces, retailers, or other sales channels after applicable discounts, taxes, platform commissions, printing costs, returns, withholding, or other agreed deductions.
Marketplace sales data may take time to be reported and remitted.
Dashboard information may be provisional and may later be adjusted based on final platform statements, returns, cancellations, or reconciliation.
Royalty payments may be subject to:
- Minimum payout thresholds;
- Identity verification;
- Bank-detail verification;
- Tax requirements;
- Platform reporting cycles;
- The payment schedule stated in the agreement.
Authors are responsible for providing accurate bank and tax information.
21. Physical Product Orders
Product descriptions, prices, availability, and delivery estimates may change without notice.
We reserve the right to:
- Limit quantities;
- Cancel suspected fraudulent orders;
- Correct pricing or listing errors;
- Refuse delivery to unsupported locations;
- Cancel an order where stock or production is unavailable.
Ownership and risk in physical goods pass according to applicable law and the delivery arrangement.
