Ana Silvia Lara Publishing LLC provides technical assistance only and does not control the policies, algorithms, reviews, account decisions, delays, or operational procedures of these third-party platforms.

All royalties generated from the sale of books belong exclusively to the author.

This means that 100% of the net royalties, after retailer commissions, printing costs, and distribution fees, are paid directly to the author by the publishing platform.

Ana Silvia Lara Publishing LLC does not collect, manage, or distribute royalties unless otherwise specified in a separate written agreement.

The author is solely responsible for the content provided for publication, including but not limited to: written text, quotations, references, images, graphics, and copyrighted material.

Once a publishing project has begun, payments made for editorial services are non-refundable, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties.

Editorial services provided by Ana Silvia Lara Publishing LLC are structured in phases corresponding to specific stages of the publishing process.

Payments are applied to the work performed within each phase of the project. Services that have already been performed, partially performed, or delivered are non-refundable.

If a project is terminated at the request of the client, any services already completed will remain payable, and previously delivered work will not be subject to refund.

Ana Silvia Lara Publishing LLC reserves the right to cancel or suspend a project in situations including, but not limited to: breach of agreements by the client, lack of cooperation during the editorial process, abusive or inappropriate communication, or behavior that prevents the professional continuation of the project.

If a project is cancelled, services already performed will be considered completed, and services not yet performed will be cancelled.

If a publishing project is terminated before completion, any services that have not yet been executed will automatically be cancelled and will not create any obligation for future execution.

Once a book has been formatted or prepared for publishing, uploaded to the relevant platform, approved for distribution, and the publishing links have been delivered to the author, the publishing service will be considered completed.

Any additional services requested afterward may require a new agreement or additional fees.

Ana Silvia Lara Publishing LLC does not guarantee: bestseller status, specific sales numbers, rankings on any platform, or commercial performance.

Promotional materials such as interviews, launch videos, marketing graphics, or other publicity materials are creative and promotional services intended to support the visibility of the author's work.

Subjective opinions regarding the style, tone, or format of these materials shall not constitute contractual breach when the services have been delivered within the general scope of the agreed package.

In the event that the parties mutually agree to a full or partial refund in order to conclude the professional relationship, such refund shall be considered a good-faith resolution intended to close the project.

Any such refund does not constitute an admission of fault or breach of contract by Ana Silvia Lara Publishing LLC, nor does it create an obligation for the company to provide additional services beyond those already delivered.

Once work has commenced on any portion of the publishing project, payments made for services already performed are non-refundable.

The Client further acknowledges that publishing outcomes, including acceptance, visibility, platform review decisions, algorithm placement, or temporary restrictions imposed by third-party platforms such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, are outside the control of Ana Silvia Lara Publishing LLC and therefore cannot constitute grounds for refund requests.
