Terms
The agreement for using FossPress. Last updated 5 July 2026 (draft).
Draft. DRAFT — pending owner and legal review; not yet in force and not legal advice.
FossPress runs an author's book go-to-market across multiple channels — ads, reviewer and community outreach, listings and more — and gives the author one honest view of what's working. These terms cover your use of our website and Author Portal.
FossPress is the trading name of Foss Publishing, the publishing imprint of record. Your agreement is with Foss Publishing.
There is no upfront fee to the author, and the core service never charges one: {BRAND} earns an agreed share of the sales it drives, so we're paid when your book sells. An optional premium plan adds extra hands-off features for a monthly subscription on top of that rev-share — clearly priced before you subscribe, cancellable any time, and never required to use the core service. No subscription is charged until billing is connected and you explicitly subscribe.
You confirm that you own or hold the rights to the book and any material you provide, and that you have the authority to let us market it on the channels you connect. You retain full ownership of your work — you grant FossPress only the licence needed to promote and sell it. When you add a book you attest to those rights, and where a sales platform requires a content disclosure (for example Amazon KDP's AI-generated content declaration) you agree to answer it honestly — the Portal's publish steps surface the platform's actual policy so you can.
Any paid advertising is run within limits and surfaced for your approval. We won't commit your money to a new channel or a raised budget without your say-so.
We work hard to reach readers, but sales, reviews and rankings depend on many factors outside our control (the market, the platforms, the book itself). We can't and don't guarantee a specific number of sales, reviews or readers.
Either side can end the arrangement with reasonable notice. On termination we stop new activity, settle any revenue share due on sales already driven, and, on request, remove your data (see the Privacy Policy).
To the extent the law allows, FossPress is not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing here limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
