Author royalties are determined by your subscription plan. The platform fee is deducted from net revenue, with the remainder paid to you as royalties. Platform fees are tiered as follows:
Platform fees cover payment processing, distribution costs, and operational expenses. Printing costs for print books are separate and are deducted in addition to the platform fee. The royalty rate is determined by your active subscription plan at the time of sale. If you change plans, the new rate applies to sales made after the plan change. Royalty rates may vary for special promotions or partnerships, which will be clearly disclosed.
To ensure security and provide a fair experience for readers, all earnings enter a locked refund period (45 days) immediately following a sale. During this period, funds are held and cannot be withdrawn. Once this 45-day period ends, funds become accessible in your author dashboard for withdrawal. You can read more about the refund period and locked earnings in the corresponding helpdesk article.

PubliWrite offers a 14-day free trial for subscription plans. To start your free trial, you must provide payment information and enroll in a subscription plan. You can cancel your subscription at any time during the trial period without being charged. If you do not cancel before the trial period ends, your subscription will automatically begin and you will be billed according to your selected billing cycle.
Subscriptions can be paid on a monthly or annual basis. The billing cycle you select will determine when you are charged and how long your subscription remains active. Annual subscriptions are billed once per year, while monthly subscriptions are billed once per month on the same date as your initial subscription.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting support. When you cancel a subscription:
No refunds are provided for the remaining portion of a billing period after cancellation, except as required by applicable law.
If you choose to upgrade your subscription to a higher tier plan, you will be charged the prorated difference between your current plan and the new plan for the remainder of your current billing period. Upon payment of the difference, you will immediately gain access to all features included in the upgraded plan. Your next billing cycle will reflect the full price of the upgraded plan.
If you choose to downgrade your subscription to a lower tier plan, you will continue to have access to all features of your current plan until the end of your current billing period. At the start of your next billing cycle, your subscription will change to the downgraded plan and you will be billed at the lower rate. No refunds or credits are provided for downgrades.
Subscription payments are processed securely through Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment processor. We accept payment by credit or debit card only. We do not store your payment information. All card information is handled directly by Stripe and never stored on our servers. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis according to your selected billing cycle. You are responsible for ensuring your payment method remains valid and up to date.
If a payment fails, we may attempt to retry the payment. If payment continues to fail, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel your subscription and access to paid features. You will be notified of any payment issues and given an opportunity to update your payment method.

We will make reasonable efforts to respect intellectual property rights globally, but you acknowledge that enforcement may vary by jurisdiction and that we cannot guarantee protection in all jurisdictions.
PubliWrite takes intellectual property rights seriously and reserves the right to take action when we have reason to believe that content on our platform may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. This section describes the actions we may take in such circumstances.
Actions We May Take: Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, credible report of infringement, or when we otherwise have reason to believe content may infringe upon intellectual property rights, we may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice:
No Obligation to Investigate: We are not obligated to investigate the validity of infringement claims before taking action. We may act on good faith reports and takedown notices without independently verifying the claims. Our actions are taken to protect intellectual property rights and comply with applicable laws, including the DMCA.
Counter-Notification Process: If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notification in accordance with DMCA procedures. We will process counter-notifications in accordance with applicable law. However, submission of a counter-notification does not guarantee that your content will be restored, and we reserve the right to maintain our actions if we have reasonable grounds to believe infringement exists.
Repeated Infringement: We reserve the right to permanently terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe upon intellectual property rights, as determined by us in our sole discretion. A user may be considered a repeat infringer after receiving multiple valid takedown notices or if we otherwise determine that the user has engaged in a pattern of infringement.
No Liability for Actions: You acknowledge and agree that PubliWrite shall not be liable to you or any third party for any removal, suspension, or other action taken in response to suspected infringement, even if such action is later determined to be incorrect or unwarranted. You waive any claims against PubliWrite arising from such actions, except as may be required by applicable law.
Cooperation: You agree to cooperate with us in any investigation of suspected infringement and to provide any information or documentation we reasonably request. Failure to cooperate may result in continued suspension or termination of your account.

We may also recover costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement actions.
Repeated Violations: Users who repeatedly violate these prohibitions may be permanently banned from the Service. We may consider factors such as the severity of violations, number of violations, and your response to previous warnings when determining appropriate enforcement actions.
If you encounter content or conduct that you believe violates these Terms, you may report it to us through:
When reporting violations, please provide:
We will review reports in accordance with our policies and applicable laws. However, we are not obligated to investigate every report or take action on every complaint.

False Reports: Submitting false or malicious reports may result in suspension or termination of your account. You agree not to abuse the reporting system or use it to harass other users or interfere with legitimate use of the Service.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all content you publish and all conduct you engage in complies with these prohibitions and all applicable laws. You represent and warrant that:
