These terms are necessary in order to protect both you and us, and to make our services possible and more enjoyable for everyone. Write On Press offers a number of services and features to support the aspiring professional writer and independent author and part of the terms below may not be relevant to the specific services you use.

​

We understand that legal terms can be exhausting to read, and we’ve tried to make the experience more pleasant. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve them, you are more than welcome to contact us at authorservice@writeonpress.com.

 

1.1 Our Purpose

Our services offer our users the ability to easily access informational resources, products and services designed to give direction and support to their development in the literary marketplace.

As detailed below, we offer our users numerous tools, products, services and courses to help creators launch and advance their literary careers.

​

1.2 Legal Agreement

These Writeonpress.com Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”), together with such additional terms which specifically apply to some of our services and features as presented on the Writeonpress.com website(s) (“Write On Press Website”, and collectively – the “Write On Press Terms”), all set forth the entire terms and conditions applicable to each visitor or user (“User” our “you”) of the Writeonpress.com Website, the Write On Press mobile application (the “Write On Press App”) and/or any other services, products, tools and features offered by us with respect thereto, except where we explicitly state otherwise (all services offered through the Writeonpress.com Website or the Write On Press App, collectively – the “Write On Press Services” or “Services”).

The Write On Press Terms constitute a binding and enforceable legal contract between Write On e-Publishing, LLC. and its affiliated companies and subsidiaries worldwide (“Write On Press”, “us” or “we”) and you in relation to the use of any Write On Press Services - so please read them carefully.

 

You may visit and/or use the Write On Press Services and/or the Write On Press App only if you fully agree to the Write On Press Terms - and by using and/or registering to any of the Write On Press Services, you signify and affirm your informed consent to these Terms of Use and any other Write On Press Terms applicable to your use of any Write On Press Services. If you do not read, fully understand and agree to the Write On Press Terms, you must immediately leave the Write On Press Website and avoid or discontinue all use of the Write On Press Services.

 

By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read our Privacy Policy available below (“Privacy Policy”).

​

1.3 User Accounts

In order to access and use certain sections and features of the Write On Press Services, you must first register and create an account with Write On Press (“User Account”).

 

If anyone other than yourself accesses your User Account and/or any of your User Account settings, they may perform any actions available to you (unless as specifically stated otherwise on the Write On Press Services), make changes to your User Account(s) and, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name.

 

Therefore, we strongly encourage you to keep the log-in credentials of your User Account confidential, and allow such access only to people you trust - as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User Account (including for any representations, warranties and undertakings made therein), whether or not specifically authorized by you, and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities.

 

You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your User Account and using the Write On Press Services, to which you are the sole and exclusive rights holder. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your company’s) contact and billing details, including your valid e-mail address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the User Account and/or User Content (as defined below) submitted to us.

 

In case of a dispute on User Account ownership, we reserve the right to determine ownership to a User Account based on our reasonable judgment, whether or not an independent investigation has been conducted by us. However, if we cannot make such determination (as we may deem in our sole discretion), we reserve the right to avoid doing so and/or suspend a User Account until the parties disputing such ownership, reach a resolution, without liability to you or to any other party. We may request documentation (e.g., government-issued ID, a business license) that may assist us in determining ownership. Among others, we may consider the principles set forth below.

 

1. Write On Press will consider the owner of a User Account and/or User Content created and/or uploaded to the relevant Write On Press Service, as the person or entity who has access to the e-mail address then listed in Write On Press’s records for such User Account under which such User Platform or User Content was created.

2. If any Paid Services (as defined in Section 5 below) were purchased via a User Account, Write On Press will consider the owner of such User Account and/or the User Content created thereunder, may be considered to be the person or entity whose billing details were used to purchase such Paid Services (“Billing Information”). In the event that an individual and an organization are both registered as the registrant or the registrant organization of such domain, Write On Press will consider the organization as the actual owner of the domain, and therefore as the owner of the User Content connected to such User Account. In event the Billing Information indicates one person as the owner of the User Account and the User Content or other relevant documentation indicates a different owner, Write On Press shall consider the person registered as the owner of the Write On Press Account as the owner of the User Content.

3. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Write On Press shall have the right to determine the ownership of User Content and/or a User account as it chooses, including by ignoring the indications set forth above, in event Write On Press deems, at its sole discretion, that the situation justifies such determination, all based upon the factual situation as determined by Write On Press.

5. Service Fees

5.1. Paid Services

The use of certain Write On Press Services may be subject to payment of particular fees, as determined by Write On Press in its sole discretion (“Paid Services” and “Fee(s)”, respectively). Write On Press will provide notice of such Fees then in effect, and in relation to such Paid Services. If you wish to receive or use such Paid Services, you are required to pay all applicable Fees in advance.

 

Write On Press reserves the right to change its Fees at any time, upon notice to you if such change may affect your existing subscriptions. If you received a discount or other promotional offer, Write On Press shall have the right to automatically and without notice renew your subscription to such Write On Press Service(s) at the full applicable Fee.

 

All Fees shall be deemed to be in U.S. Dollars, except as specifically stated otherwise in writing by Write On Press. To the extent permitted by law (and unless specified otherwise by Write On Press in writing), all Fees are exclusive of all taxes (including value added tax, sales tax, goods and services tax, etc.), levies or duties imposed by taxing authorities (“Taxes”), and you shall be responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your use of the Write On Press Services, or to any payments or purchases made by you. If Write On Press is obligated to collect or pay Taxes for the Fees payable by you, and whether or not such Taxes were added and collected from you for previous transactions, such Taxes may be added to the payment of any outstanding Fees and will be reflected in the Invoice for such transaction. We recommend that you verify the existence of any additional fees you may be charged by third parties in connection with the purchase of Paid Services or in connection with the renewal thereof (such as international transaction fees, currency exchange fees or fees due to banks or credit card companies). Write On Press is not responsible for any such additional fees or costs.

 

As part of registering or submitting information to receive Paid Services, you also authorize Write On Press (either directly or through its affiliates, subsidiaries or other third parties) to request and collect payment  and service fees (or otherwise charge, refund or take any other billing actions) from our payment provider or your designated banking account, and to make any inquiries Write On Press or its affiliates may consider necessary to validate your designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment, including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from your payment, credit card or banking account provider (e.g., updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to us by your credit card company).

You must keep a credit card stored with Write On Press to pay for your Paid Services (“Stored Card”). You will be able to identify your Stored Card by its last four digits as in your Account Settings Page.

5.2. Invoices

Write On Press and/or its affiliated companies will issue an invoice or credit memo for any payment of Fees or refund made to or by Write On Press (“Invoice”). Each Invoice will be issued in electronic form and based on the country stated in your billing address, and will be made available to you via your User Account and/or by e-mail. For the purpose of issuing the Invoice, you may be required to furnish certain Personal Information (as such term is defined in the Privacy Policy) in order to comply with local laws. Please note that the Invoice presented in your User Account may be inadequate with your local law requirements, and in such case may be used for pro forma purposes only. 

​

5.3. Subscription Auto-Renewals

In order to ensure that you do not experience any interruption or loss of services, certain Paid Services include an automatic renewal option by default, according to which, unless you turn-off the auto-renewal option, such Paid Services will automatically renew upon the end of the applicable subscription period, for a renewal period equal in time to the original subscription period (excluding extended periods) and, unless otherwise notified to you, at the same price (subject to applicable Taxes changes and excluding any discount or other promotional offer provided for the first period) (“Renewing Paid Services”). For example, if the original subscription period for a Service is one month, each of its renewal periods (where applicable) will be for one month. Accordingly, where applicable, Write On Press will attempt to automatically charge you the applicable Fees using the Stored Card, within up-to two (2) weeks before such renewal period commences. In the event of failure to collect the Fees owed by you, we may in our sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to) retry to collect on a later time, and/or suspend or cancel your User Account, without further notice. If your Renewing Paid Service is subject to a yearly or multiple-year subscription period, Write On Press will endeavor to provide you a notice prior to the renewal of such Paid Service at least thirty (30) days in advance of the renewal date.

​

By entering into this Agreement and by purchasing a Renewing Paid Service, you acknowledge and agree that the Renewing Paid Service shall automatically renew in accordance with the above terms.  

​

You may turn-off the auto-renewal option for Renewing Paid Services at any time via your User Account or by contacting Author Service at: authorservice@writeonpress.com.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, you are and shall be solely responsible to verify and ensure the successful renewal of the Write On Press Services you use (whether or not such Write On Press Services are subject to automatic subscription renewals). Accordingly, you shall be solely responsible with respect to any discontinuation of any Write On Press Services previously purchased by you, including due to a cancellation, failure to charge the applicable recurring Fees, or due to any Write On Press Services not being subject to automatic subscription renewals. You acknowledge and agree that you shall not have any claims against Write On Press in relation to the discontinuation of any Write On Press Services or Third Party Services, for whatever reason.

​

5.4. Money-Back Guarantee

If you are not satisfied with Write On Press Services that are subject to a Fee for a period of service or subscription commitment and which is your initial purchase of such service, you may provide notice of cancellation for any reason within fourteen (14) days of having first ordered or activated such Write On Press Services (the “Refund” and “Refund Period”). The Refund is applicable only to the initial purchase of Write On Press subscription services (if available, and as offered on the Write On Press Website). The Refund is not applicable to any additional purchases, upgrades, modification or renewals of Write On Press Services. If you reside in a jurisdiction which requires a longer Refund Period, we will of course be happy to accommodate such requirements in accordance with all applicable laws. If Write On Press receives such notice within such Refund Period, Write On Press will refund to you the amount Write On Press charged you for such Write On Press Services, in currency you were originally charged in, and cancel them accordingly. Please note that the Refund amount may be different than the amount you were charged due to currency changes and third-party fees. Write On Press will not be responsible for any differences caused by change of currency exchange rates or fees you were charged by third parties. After the Refund Period, the Fees paid by you are non-refundable and non-cancellable. In addition, if we find that a notice of cancellation has been given in bad faith or in an illegitimate attempt to avoid payment for services actually received and enjoyed, we reserve our right to still charge the User who provided such notice for any Write On Press Services actually received, as permitted by law.

 

Please note: Certain services purchased on or through the Write On Press Services may be non-refundable. These include Third Party Services such as consultative services, content, product, business tools and applications. The terms of each purchased service or product are indicated on the Write On Press Website and/or as part of or during the process of purchasing such services or applications. It is your obligation to verify your ability to cancel a service prior to purchasing it. Write On Press will not refund any amounts paid for non-refundable Paid Services, applications or Third-Party Services. 

​

5.5. Chargebacks

If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any payable Fees on your Write On Press account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the Write On Press Services may be automatically disabled or terminated. 

 

In the event a Chargeback is performed, your User Account may be blocked without the option to re-purchase or re-use it, and any data contained in such User Account, including any content, products and Third-Party Services may be subject to cancellation and Capacity Loss (as defined in Section 6.3 below). 

 

Your use of the Write On Press Services will not resume until you re-subscribe for any such Write On Press Services, and pay any applicable Fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by Write On Press and/or any Third Party Services for each Chargeback received (including Fees for Write On Press Services provided prior to the Chargeback, handling and processing charges and fees incurred by the payment processor).

 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to Write On Press, we encourage you to first contact our Author Service team before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the Write On Press Services from being cancelled and your User Account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable Fees, in addition to re-payment of all the Fees applicable to the Write On Press Services purchased (and charged-back) by you.

 

We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the User responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and make use of the services rendered thereafter.

6.1. Cancellation by User

You may discontinue to use and request to cancel your User Account and/or any Write On Press Services at any time, in accordance with the instructions available on the Write On Press Services.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, with respect to subscriptions to Renewing Paid Services, such subscription will be discontinued only upon the expiration of the respective period for which you have already made payment.

6.3. Loss of Data, Content and Capacity

If your User Account or any Write On Press Services or Third-Party Services related to your User Account are cancelled (whether at your request or at Write On Press’s discretion), it may cause or result in the loss of certain content, features, or capacity of your User Account, including any User Content, Account User data or other usage data retained therein (“Capacity Loss”).
