Client Job Form/Free Print Quote

Terms of Trade

The PublishMe Print & Publish vision is that we are the first place that people come to when they want to print, publish or sell their book or resources. We want to make your needs and dreams become a reality. So that we can continue to do this we have a few basic rules about payment of jobs.

The integrity of your work is important
PublishMe Print & Publish (PublishMe) is an assisted self-publishing operation and takes no responsibility for the content of an author's work. This is the sole responsibility of the author as the publisher. By printing with PublishMe each author warrants that their publication in no way violates any existing copyright and that it contains nothing libellous and does not malign any known person living or dead. The author indemnifies PublishMe against any loss or damage including any legal costs or expenses incurred as a consequence of any breach. Each author will accurately reference all quotes used in their publication and ensure that quotes do not utilise a substantive part of any other work without permission from the author of that work.

Payment

1. PublishMe print clients — eg: self-publishers
For all digital, commercial print or service jobs (eg: design) we require a 50% deposit on approval of the proof copy. Once the payment has been received the print run will be actioned, with the balance of the invoice to be paid on the 20th of the follwoing month. We have a credit card facility available if you wish to make payment this way.

Payment can be made by cheque, credit card or payment directly into our bank account. Please ensure that your name appears on our bank statement.

Bank account details:

Zenith Publishing Group Limited
Bank of New Zealand
New Plymouth branch
Account: 020602 0002433 00

When payments are made to PublishMe from outside New Zealand all bank fees that will be incurred as part of the transaction need to be paid by the customer in addition to the invoice amount.

2. PublishMe print clients — eg: corporate/large customer clients
All jobs will be invoiced at the time of printing. We then require the invoice to be paid on the 20th of the following month.

Payment can be made by cheque, credit card or payment directly into our bank account as detailed above.

Quotes
All quotes are costed on the information you supply. If additional work is required beyond that specified on the quote that work will be charged for accordingly.

Proof approval
For all new PublishMe jobs, one proof copy will be sent to the author for checking. The client will return the completed Client Approval Form indicating the next step in the process. Once we receive proof copy approval a partial payment is required.

Returns
An order cannot be returned unless we accept that:

The quality of the print job is substandard
The error in the ordering process was made by PublishMe staff.
The parcel has been damaged after dispatch.

In such cases the order will be reprinted at no extra cost to the client once the books to be replaced have been returned to us.

Non-payment penalties
Should your account become overdue further orders will be withheld until payment is received. Further, should your account with us exceed agreed payment terms, we will commence charging interest on monies outstanding at an interest rate of 15% per month.

Sometimes things get hard and people have genuine difficulties in paying their account. The most important thing we ask you to do is keep in contact with our administration department. Together we can work things out.

Promotional use of your work
We like to sing your praises and feature authors' works in PublishMe newsletters, in social media and other promotional material. If you do not want us to feature your book or your cover design please inform your client manager.

For promotional purposes we like to display or use your books as shining examples to other writers — any copy made for that purpose will be printed at PublishMe's expense. We are very aware that not all books are for the public eye and we would use our discretion. However, clear direction from you is welcomed —. please inform your client manager in writing if you do not want your book to be promoted by us in that way.
