3. Payment Terms

Payment for consulting services is due according to the pricing agreement established at the time of engagement. We accept various payment methods as indicated during the booking process. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the agreed-upon fees.

Invoices are generated after service completion or according to the service agreement terms. All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise specified in writing.

For project-based services, refund eligibility depends on the specific service agreement. Generally, once consulting work has commenced, services are non-refundable. Custom projects may have specific milestone-based terms outlined in your service agreement.

5. Intellectual Property

All original content, strategies, recommendations, and materials developed specifically for you during our consulting engagement remain your intellectual property.

You retain all rights to your published works, author brand materials, and book content. We do not claim ownership of your books, author platforms, or promotional materials we help you develop.

6. Limitation of Liability

While we provide strategic consulting based on industry expertise and best practices, we cannot guarantee specific results or outcomes regarding book sales, reader engagement, platform visibility, or Amazon/Goodreads algorithm rankings.
