Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2026

1. What BookReady does

BookReady is an automated PDF compliance checking and processing service for indie authors and book formatters.

2. No guarantee of platform acceptance

BookReady checks your file against known platform requirements but does not guarantee acceptance by any platform.

3. No affiliation with publishing platforms

BookReady is independent and not affiliated with IngramSpark, B&N Press, KDP Print, Draft2Digital, or any other platform.

4. File deletion

All uploaded files and processed outputs are permanently deleted within 24 hours of upload.

5. Refunds

Different products have different refund policies:

• PDF compliance scans ($9 / file): If we run your file through our checker and the fixed output is still rejected by the target platform (IngramSpark, KDP Print, B&N Press, or Draft2Digital), we refund the scan fee in full. Email [email protected] with your scan ID and the platform's rejection notice.
• Pro subscriptions ($12/month, $69/year, $79/month Formatter): Cancel anytime from your dashboard. Access continues until the end of the current billing period. We do not pro-rate refunds for partial months or years.
• ARC review orders ($39 / $79 / $149): Full refund available before any reviewer is assigned to your order. Once reviewer matching begins, refunds are pro-rated based on remaining unfilled slots — calculated as order value × (unfilled slots ÷ total slots), minus a 10% processing fee. No refunds once the order reaches "in progress" (all slots filled) or "completed" status: the reviewers have been paid for their work. Email [email protected] to start a refund.
• Cover builder downloads ($9 / cover): One-time purchases. Refund only if the file fails to download or contains a generation error caused by our system.

If you experience a technical error preventing delivery on any product, contact us and we will reprocess at no charge or issue a full refund, your choice. All refund requests are processed within 5 business days via the original payment method.

6. Limitation of liability

BookReady is provided as-is. We are not liable for any damages arising from use of this service.
