Images used in book covers may be stock images and may come from free sites such as Pixabay or Unsplash.
The finalized design belongs to you. You may use the finalized design in any way, including for commercial use, without asking our permission.
Stock image licenses may impose certain limitations on the number of printed products that may be created using them. We will inform you if this is the case. In nearly all cases, you can purchase an extended license to the stock image(s) in question allowing for unlimited usage.
You may not use any initial concepts, drafts, early revisions, or other versions of the design except for the finalized design. The rights to all such design products belong exclusively to us.
You may not modify the finalized design yourself or pay another designer to do so unless you have purchased the source file, in which case you may modify or have modified the design. The modified design may not be identical to any initial concepts, drafts, early revisions, or other versions of the design which we created during the design process.
We reserve the right to post all completed covers in our portfolio, on our website, on our social media pages, or in other ways for the purpose of promoting our services. Covers will not be posted until the author has publicly revealed it.
We reserve the right to sell unused concepts and cancelled designs as premade book covers if they are sufficiently different from the finalized design.
Your manuscript will never be shared or distributed. We reserve the right to use up to three non-consecutive pages of your formatted book in our portfolio, on our website, on our social media pages, or in other ways for the purpose of promoting our services.
