Terms of Service for Designers

Welcome to bookcovers.io, a creative platform operated by MMP Software, LLC, dedicated to connecting talented designers with authors in need of exceptional book covers. By joining our community, you agree to the following terms designed to ensure a trustworthy, respectful, and collaborative environment. These terms are subject to change, and continued use of our platform signifies your acceptance of any modifications.

Design Integrity and Originality

As a designer on bookcovers.io, you commit to creating original artwork without the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI). Every design you submit must be handcrafted, ensuring that our catalog remains unique and genuine.

Exclusive Sales and Rights

Each cover you sell through bookcovers.io is exclusive to our platform. Once sold, you agree not to resell or distribute the same design elsewhere. This exclusivity guarantees our authors unique covers that cannot be found on any other platform or publication.

Commission and Payments

bookcovers.io retains a 25% commission on all sales made through our platform. This commission supports the operational costs and continuous improvement of our services. Designers receive 75% of the sale price, reflecting their creative effort and dedication.

Payments to designers are processed weekly every Monday, directly to the bank account provided during registration. This ensures a steady and reliable income stream for our contributing artists.

Designer Attribution and Promotion

To maintain a focus on the art and its suitability for authors’ needs, designers may not include personal website addresses, contact information, or any promotional content on their cover designs or in the submission process.

All communication with customers must be conducted through the bookcovers.io platform. This policy is in place to safeguard both designers and authors, ensuring that all transactions and communications are transparent and managed professionally.

Copyright and Ownership

Designers retain copyright of their work, with the exception that sold designs become the exclusive property of the purchasing author, for use in their book publication and related marketing.

bookcovers.io respects intellectual property rights and expects the same from our designers. Any infringement of copyright or unauthorized use of copyrighted material will result in immediate account termination and legal action.
