Acceptance of these terms
By using this website or submitting information through it, you agree to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not submit information or files through the website.
Website information
The website provides information about DKNY Publishing, Digby R. Kerr, published books, retailers, media, and available author services. Information may be updated, corrected, or removed. Website content is general information and is not legal, financial, or professional advice for a specific project.
Manuscript submissions
You confirm that you own the submitted material or have authority to submit it. You must not upload material that unlawfully copies another person, violates privacy, contains malicious software, or is illegal. You remain responsible for keeping your own complete backup of every file.
If DKNY Publishing is interested in moving forward, the scope, rights, fees, services, deadlines, confidentiality obligations, distribution, and other business terms will be stated in a separate written agreement.
Ownership and intellectual property
You retain ownership of your original submitted manuscript, cover, notes, and supporting creative work unless a later written agreement states otherwise. You give DKNY Publishing a limited permission to receive, store, review, and internally discuss the material for the purpose of evaluating your inquiry.
The DKNY Publishing website, brand identity, written site content, design, graphics, and original media are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. They may not be copied, republished, sold, or presented as another business without permission.
Publishing and author services
Descriptions of editorial review, ghostwriting, manuscript development, cover design, formatting, distribution preparation, marketing, and related services describe possible service categories. Availability and suitability depend on the project. No service begins until the parties approve a separate written agreement or proposal.
Retailers and third-party services
Links to Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Books2Read, Bookshop.org, social networks, WhatsApp, and other third parties are provided for convenience. DKNY Publishing does not control their availability, prices, inventory, policies, or technical operation. Retailer names and marks belong to their respective owners. A retailer link indicates availability and does not imply sponsorship or endorsement.
Acceptable use
You agree not to interfere with the website, attempt unauthorized access, submit false contact information, distribute malicious code, overload the service, scrape protected material in a way that violates law, or use the site to harass or deceive others. DKNY Publishing may restrict or block activity that threatens the service or other users.
Service disclaimers
The website is provided on an as-available basis. DKNY Publishing works to keep information accurate and the service reliable, but does not promise uninterrupted operation, error-free content, permanent availability, search ranking, retailer availability, sales performance, or a particular publishing outcome.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, DKNY Publishing is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from use of the public website, third-party links, or a visitor's failure to maintain backups. Nothing in these terms excludes responsibility that cannot legally be excluded.
Questions and changes
Questions about these terms may be sent to Info@DKNYPublishing.com. Specific publishing agreements may contain additional terms and will control the covered project if they conflict with this general website policy.
These terms may be updated as the website and services change. The effective date identifies the current version.
