Terms & Conditions

Welcome to www.designedbyhishands.com (the “Website”), operated by Designed By His Hands Publishing (“DBHH Publishing,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using this Website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. PURPOSE OF THIS WEBSITE
The Website provides information about our author-services and independent-publishing consultancy, including manuscript assessment, editorial support, book design, publishing guidance, and related services. Website information is general and may change without notice.

2. INQUIRIES ARE NOT SERVICE AGREEMENTS
Submitting a contact or project inquiry form, requesting a consultation, or communicating with us does not create a client relationship or obligate either party to purchase or provide services. A project begins only after the parties agree to the applicable written proposal or scope, sign a service agreement, and satisfy any agreed payment requirements.

3. SERVICES, PRICING, AND PAYMENTS
Descriptions and starting prices on the Website are informational, not binding quotes. Final services, deliverables, timelines, revisions, fees, payment milestones, cancellations, and refunds are determined by the applicable written client agreement and invoice. Where a written client agreement conflicts with these general Website Terms on a particular project, that agreement controls for that project.

4. AUTHOR RIGHTS AND PUBLISHING AUTHORIZATION
Authors retain rights to their original manuscripts and other intellectual property except as expressly stated in a separately signed agreement. DBHH Publishing provides author services and independent-publishing assistance; it does not automatically acquire an author's copyrights or royalties. No manuscript will be submitted to a publishing or distribution platform by DBHH Publishing without the author's separate written authorization.

5. WEBSITE CONTENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Unless otherwise indicated, the Website's original text, branding, logos, graphics, and design are owned by DBHH Publishing or used with permission. You may view the Website for personal or business evaluation but may not reproduce, redistribute, or commercially exploit its protected content without authorization. Third-party marks remain the property of their owners.

6. ACCEPTABLE USE
You agree not to use the Website unlawfully, impersonate another person, submit false or infringing material, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with Website security, or introduce malicious code. You are responsible for ensuring you have permission to share manuscripts and other project materials with us.

7. INFORMATION YOU SUBMIT
You represent that information and files you submit are accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the necessary rights to provide them for evaluation or contracted services. We handle personal information according to our Privacy Policy. Confidentiality and detailed manuscript handling may also be addressed in an applicable client agreement.

8. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
The Website may link to Wix, payment providers, booksellers, distributors, or other third-party websites. Those services operate under their own terms and policies. We do not control their content, decisions, availability, fees, or account requirements.

9. NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS
We strive to provide services professionally, but cannot guarantee publication acceptance, bookstore placement, specific sales, reviews, rankings, royalties, bestseller status, or financial outcomes. Individual results depend on factors outside our control. See our Website Disclaimer.

10. WEBSITE AVAILABILITY AND ACCURACY
We make reasonable efforts to keep Website information accurate and accessible, but may correct errors, change content, or suspend access. The Website is provided on an “as available” basis to the extent permitted by applicable law.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the extent permitted by applicable law, DBHH Publishing is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising solely from use of or inability to access this informational Website. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Rights and remedies under a separately executed client agreement remain governed by that agreement.

12. GOVERNING LAW
These Website Terms are governed by the laws of Texas, United States, subject to applicable consumer-protection laws and any mandatory legal requirements.

13. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date above will identify the version in effect when published. Continued use of the Website after changes take effect indicates acceptance to the extent permitted by law
