Site terms of use

Updated November 2, 2026.

These terms cover your use of authorship.press and of your book project, including anything you add there. Authorship Press is a service of Clarified Systems, LLC. Your book project asks you to accept them before you add your recordings or a link.

Acceptable use

Use the site and your book project for your own book, and add only material you have the right to use.

Do not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service or reach it on someone else’s behalf, do not send malware, and do not use the upload path as free file storage.

Abusive input and what we do about it

Some material does not belong in a book project, on this site, or in an upload:

• Harassment or threats toward anyone.
• Hateful content, or content that is illegal to possess or share.
• Another person’s private details, messages, images, or health information, shared without their consent.
• Spam.
• Malware, or a file that is not what it claims to be.
• Attempts to gain unauthorized access to the portal.
• Impersonating another person, or Authorship Press itself.

We may remove that content and suspend access while it is here. We may act without waiting for you when the law requires it, when there is a credible threat, when an upload carries malware, or when someone is attempting to gain access.

Anyone may report this, including a person named in the material or a rights holder: abuse@authorship.press. We keep a copy of what we removed and why, and we answer every report.

Your account and access

Access to a book project is personal to you. Keep your sign-in link to yourself, and tell us if you think someone else has it. We will secure the project with you.

We may suspend access when these terms are broken or when someone may be reaching the project without your knowledge. Suspension hides the project and does not delete your material.

Your content and the license you give us

You keep the copyright in everything you add: recordings, transcripts, links, comments, notes, your bio, and your photo.

You give us the license to host, store, display, and send that material within your book project, so the project works and you can see what you sent. The license that lets us build and deliver your book is in your Free Offer Service Agreement, not here.

Our content and tools

The site, its design, our name and logo, and the tooling and software that produce a book are ours. That ownership never includes your book or your material.

What we do not promise

We provide the site, your book project, and our services as is.

To the extent the law allows, we do not promise that any of it is error-free, accurate, complete, or suitable for publication, that it will always be available, or that it does not infringe anyone’s rights. We do not promise that it is merchantable or fit for a particular purpose.

Any review we run on a manuscript is a light pass rather than a full fact-check. You are responsible for verifying claims and clearing content before you publish.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent Indiana law allows, our total liability for the free engagement is $0.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, or reputational harm.

We are not liable for a claim that arises from your material, from your published book, or from your failure to follow the law or a platform’s rules.

Indemnity

You defend and hold harmless Authorship Press, Clarified Systems, LLC, and their officers, members, employees, contractors, and agents against claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that arise from:

• Your material.
• Your published book.
• A breach of what you promise in these terms or in your agreement.
• A claim that your material infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights.
• Your failure to follow the disclosure rules of a platform you publish on.

Ending access

You may stop using your book project at any time.

We may decline to publish something or end a project when material is unlawful, defamatory, infringing, or otherwise problematic, when these terms are broken, or when the law requires it. We are not obliged to host anything.

Ending access does not make us liable to you. If your engagement ends before your book arrives, your Free Offer Service Agreement says what happens next.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, and the date at the top changes when we do.

Governing law and venue

Indiana law governs these terms, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

The state and federal courts in Indiana are the exclusive venue, and you waive any objection to venue.

The privacy notice

What we collect, why we hold it, who runs it with us, and how long we keep it: the privacy notice.
