These Terms and Conditions govern your use of EC Publishing LLC's publishing and marketing services. By purchasing or using our services, you agree to be bound by the terms outlined below.
Last updated: July 2026
By engaging EC Publishing LLC ("EC Publishing," "we," "us," or "our") for publishing, marketing, or related services, the client ("Author," "Client," "you") agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, along with any applicable service agreement, Payment Policy, and Refund Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not proceed with our services.
EC Publishing offers self-publishing support services, including but not limited to manuscript formatting, cover design, ISBN/ONIX metadata assistance, distribution setup, and marketing programs such as promotional campaigns, website presence, and author branding.
The specific services included in your engagement are defined in your individual service agreement or order form. Any services not explicitly listed are considered outside the scope of the agreement unless added in writing.
The Author retains ownership of the underlying literary work submitted for publishing. EC Publishing retains ownership of any original design elements, marketing materials, cover artwork, or website assets created as part of our services, unless otherwise transferred in writing as part of a specific agreement.
Materials created by EC Publishing on the Author's behalf are licensed for the Author's use in connection with the published work, and may not be resold, redistributed, or repurposed for unrelated projects without written consent.
All fees for services are due as outlined in your service agreement. Payment terms, cancellation windows, and refund eligibility are governed by our separate Payment Policy and Refund Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
All payments must be made directly to EC Publishing LLC. If anyone advises you to pay to a different business name, this is an unauthorized transaction. Please contact us immediately at 352-644-6538 or email us at info@ecpublishingllc.com.
EC Publishing does not guarantee specific sales results, media placements, or outcomes for any book or marketing campaign. Results vary based on market conditions, genre, and the individual qualities of each work. To the maximum extent permitted by law, EC Publishing's total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the amount paid by the Client for the specific service in question.
EC Publishing shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits or lost opportunities, arising from the use of our services.
Either party may terminate a service agreement in accordance with the cancellation terms specified in the Publishing Agreement or Marketing Agreement. EC Publishing reserves the right to terminate services immediately, without refund, if the Client engages in abusive conduct, fails to cooperate, or is the subject of a formal complaint or legal action related to the engagement.
Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business, financial, or personal information shared during the course of the engagement, except where disclosure is required by law or necessary to fulfill contracted services (such as sharing manuscript content with distribution partners).
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Marion County, Florida.
EC Publishing reserves the right to update or modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Material changes will be communicated to active clients via email. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
If you have any questions about these Terms and Conditions, please reach out to us at info@ecpublishingllc.com or call 352-644-6538.

Yes. You retain full ownership of your literary work. EC Publishing only retains ownership of original design assets — such as cover art or marketing materials — that we create on your behalf, unless those rights are separately transferred in writing.
Once book materials have been submitted for a publishing service, no refund is available. For marketing services, cancellation terms depend on whether fulfillment has already begun. Please review our Refund Policy for full details or contact us directly with your specific situation.
Stop the transaction immediately. All payments must be made to EC Publishing LLC only. If anyone — including someone claiming to be our employee or affiliate — asks you to pay a different business name, contact us right away at 352-644-6538 or info@ecpublishingllc.com so we can investigate.
No. We provide marketing and promotional services designed to maximize your book's visibility and sales potential, but outcomes vary depending on genre, market conditions, and the book itself. We do not guarantee specific sales numbers, rankings, or media placements.
Approved refunds are processed within 30 days. The exact refund amount depends on how much time has passed since your purchase date and whether any materials or services have already been delivered.
Materials we create are licensed for use with the specific published work they were designed for. They may not be resold, reused for unrelated projects, or redistributed without our written consent.
If we terminate the agreement without cause before fulfilling contracted marketing services, you're entitled to a full refund for those unfulfilled services. If termination happens for cause — such as abusive conduct or a third-party complaint — no refund is issued.
Yes. If we make material changes to these Terms, we'll notify active clients by email. Continuing to use our services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
