If You elect to pay on a monthly basis and payment is not made, the Company may suspend the service in which case You will be unable to access any Works stored by the Company. Suspension does not release You from Your payment obligation or entitle You to any refund. The Company reserves the right to change the subscription terms and its pricing at any time upon written notice to You. The Professional Subscription Plan automatically renews upon each anniversary of your subscription unless You notify the Company in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of the anniversary of Your desire to terminate.

      1. You hereby grant and assign to the Company the nonexclusive worldwide right to digitally publish, distribute, market and sell (“Publish”), and to license others to do so, Your Work. Since the terms of Your agreement with the Company, herein, are non-exclusive, You are free to Publish, license, market and sell Your Work elsewhere and retain all rights not granted herein. In addition, the Company shall have the right to distribute samples of the Work in any form of media, including printed media, in order to promote (a) the Work and/or (b) the VOOK service. These samples will be licensed for free, non-commercial use, duplication and sharing, and will comply with the sample percentage authorized by You. The Company shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to drive traffic to the Work through (a) general Search Engine Optimization services (b) crawlable, promotional hypertext links or (c) arrangements with third parties which make searchable certain sample portions of the Work. Other than stated above, the Company shall only Publish electronic versions of the Work, and acquires no other subsidiary rights to the Work including hardcover or paperback editions, audio editions, multimedia editions, theatrical editions, first and second serial rights or media rights other than as set forth herein. Therefore, if another publisher will allow You to keep electronic rights to the Work, You may continue to Publish the Work electronically while publishing a printed version of the Work with a print publisher. If VOOK distributes any Work to its distribution partners, VOOK makes no representation or warranty that the content of the Work meets the content standards of any of its distribution partners. You are solely responsible for the content of Your Work.
      2. Copyright: The copyright in the Work shall belong to You or the party that You cite as the copyright holder. You are solely responsible for filing for any copyrights and any other intellectual property with the appropriate governmental body. It is Your responsibility to provide a copyright notice on the copyright page or some other prominent place in the Work.
      3. Ownership. You acknowledge and agree that the VOOK Web Site and services are proprietary to VOOK and that the Work is proprietary to You.
      4. Formats: You shall submit the Work as a Microsoft Word .doc, .docx or .ePub file. The Company shall utilize its proprietary technology to convert the book into multiple ebook formats, and publish the Work for use in sampling, distributing and selling the Work. Due to the technical nature of the VOOK Platform, we require that You submit files to the VOOK Platform in specific formats and subject to certain content specifications which must be followed and which are outlined at http://guide.vook.com/prepare/content-specifications. These formats and specifications are subject to change at any time in the discretion of the Company.
   3. Software: Please note that all software programming, including without limitation all widgets, tools, HTML and other code contained in the VOOK Web Site (collectively, “Software”), is owned by the Company and/or its Licensors and is protected by copyright laws and other intellectual property laws, as well as international treaty provisions. Any unauthorized access to, reproduction, redistribution, publication, display or other use of the Software is expressly prohibited by law and may result in severe civil and/or criminal penalties. Violators will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible.
   4. Publication: Subject to agreement to the terms hereof, the Company will generally Publish any submissions which do not violate, or which do not appear to violate this Agreement. In general, the Company will Publish Your Work as it is delivered to us, and not edit or modify the Work. Certain modifications may however occur caused by file or design conversions. The Company does not and cannot guarantee accurate preservation of the original Work’s formatting. The Company may decide not to Publish Your Work or may decide to discontinue its publication of Your Work for any reason and for no reason, and no reason need be provided. Except in the cases of gross violations of this Terms of Service, we will attempt to provide reasonable notice to You via email, up to and including providing instructions on how to remedy potential issues that might prevent us from listing a title.
   5. Digital Rights Management: The Company is a strong proponent of author’s rights, and the right of authors and copyright owners to receive compensation for their digitally published Works. Therefore, the Company strongly discourages piracy/infringement of Your Work and encourages customers to purchase licensed copies. However, the Company does not publish works containing digital rights management schemes that limit the customer’s ability to consume the Work as they see fit. Therefore, the Company cannot completely prevent piracy/infringement of Your Work. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that DRMed Works do not sell as well as non-DRMed Work because customers resent limitations and don’t appreciate being mistrusted. Non-DRMed Works often outsell DRMed Works by leveraging the viral nature of uninhibited sampling and sharing which can dramatically increase Your total audience and sales opportunities. There is also evidence that by pricing Your Works for less than printed equivalents, You can further decrease piracy and increase sales volume. You understand that the Company is distributing the Works according to this so described Trust system.
