Prices
This site displays and operates its business in US Dollars. All prices are set by the author/publisher who is at liberty to offer their products at a discounted price. This does not necessarily mean the product has ever been offered for sale at the full price. We do not control pricing policy on this site but reserve the right to remove discounted prices that are applied for a period of more than six consecutive weeks. We also have no control over the discounts offered and as such it is your responsibility as a customer to make any checks you wish to ensure the discounts are indeed genuine.
Fees
We do NOT charge fees for the use of this site. Publishers and authors are at liberty to promote their titles for a nominal fee each month, but this is at their discretion. We pass on ALL costs of any chargebacks arising from fraudulent transactions and we also actively co-operate with the authorities in tracing and prosecuting any person who instigates a fraudulent credit card transaction. We WILL SEEK the maximum penalty applicable for ALL FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES through the criminal justice system applicable in the United Kingdom.
Copyright
We permit our authors and publishers to post content which is immediately available for sale through our site. We do not censor any content before making it available. Therefore it is possible that a user may post content which they are not legally entitled to do so.

We do not want to distribute any such material and will co-operate fully in any legal process against such a poster.

Content
You must ONLY sell full versions of your ebooks at Fiction4All. Your titles may NOT include any passwords, or demands for further fees in order for the purchaser to read the entire content.

You must accurately describe the content you are offering for sale. Any misleading or otherwise inaccurate descriptions may constitute fraud and will result in your account being terminated with forfeiture of any royalties. You may also be liable to criminal prosecution. You are permitted to market your titles through your descriptions but what you state must be factually correct.

Royalties
We pay our publishers/authors a rate of commission as displayed on our Publish/Sell page and our Author Guidelines page. Rates may change from time to time. The content owner is at liberty to charge their own prices and to set discounts. In these instances the applicable royalty will be based on the discounted price. Royalty payments are calculated monthly by us and will be paid provided a MINIMUM amount of $50 has been earned. All payments are despatched on the 21st day of the next month, subject to deductions for any chargebacks we are notified about by our credit card processing agent. We can make payment either by a UK £ (Sterling) bank cheque or via PayPal. To claim payment for PayPal you will need to provide your PayPal address as part of your member details.
