5. 服務範圍
5.1 服務說明
多索格印刷公司提供的服務的詳細說明在多索戈印刷網站上列出，所選服務的縮寫版本將包含在多索印刷在購買時簽發的客戶發票上。在選擇和購買任何服務之前，您應仔細閱讀服務說明。Dosogopress可以（但沒有義務）提供超出您所購買的服務的服務描述中描述的任何服務。
5.2 附加服務費用
多索戈出版社的目標是避免任何意外或「隱性」的成本。多索戈普萊斯服務的當前定價在多索戈印刷網站上列出。但是，在某些情況下可能會收取額外費用，例如當您請求的服務超出您購買的服務中包含的範圍時。以下是可能收取額外費用的示例的非詳盡清單。這應該與您的發票上列出的特定服務以及Dosogopress網站上列出的服務描述一起進行審查：
（a） 編輯和校對。編輯服務不包括在服務中，除非它們已被購買並列在Dosogopress開具的發票上。每次編輯服務的費用由稿件中的總字數決定。如果提交的稿件包含的字數多於購買的字數，則需支付額外費用。編輯的工作是大大提高稿件的品質。為了盡量減少錯誤，Dosogopress建議對手稿進行多輪編輯和校對，包括在修改手稿和書籍佈局時進行校對。
（b） 封面設計。封面設計服務包括由專業設計師使用作者提供的資訊創建的正面，背面和書脊的初始設計，以及根據作者的反饋和有限的庫存圖像購買預算進行的兩輪小修改。可以購買額外的修訂版。如果作者請求超出服務範圍的複雜圖像處理，則可能會產生額外的設計時間成本。如果作者選擇將特定且更昂貴的庫存圖像或藝術品納入設計中，則還可能收取額外費用。
（c） 內部佈局。室內佈局服務包括由專業設計師使用作者提供的資訊對書籍內部進行初始佈局，並包括根據作者的反饋進行的兩輪小修改。可以購買額外的修訂版。複雜的佈局將根據自定義報價評估額外費用。如果未購買校對服務，作者將全權負責校對設計檔的每個版本，以確定所需的更正;特別是當將手稿檔導入專業設計師使用的軟體時，可能會發生錯誤。如果作者在排版過程中途對圖書內容進行實質性的更正、添加或刪除，則可能會收取重新版面費。
（d） 插圖。插圖服務包括兩個影響插圖的機會：第一，在插圖畫家開始工作之前概述想法，其次，通過對過程中提供的草圖提供反饋。插圖畫家將對插圖擁有最終決定權，同時考慮到作者的願景和意見。如果作者需要額外的修訂，或者插圖的複雜性超出了Dosogopress為專案分配的插圖時間，則將收取額外費用。插圖獲得批准后的任何修訂將被視為新插圖，並將收取額外費用。
（e） 營銷和宣傳。Dosogopress宣傳書籍的責任和作者將僅限於所購買的書籍行銷服務的範圍。超出適用服務描述中規定的範圍的任何努力將由Dosogopress自行決定提供。創作網站服務包括保護功能變數名稱，基本設置和一年的託管服務，如適用的服務說明中所述。第一年後的年度續訂以及服務描述中未包含的任何其他網站工作均需支付額外費用。
（f） 免費副本。出版套餐包括作者獲得一本免費的書，平裝本最高價值25美元，精裝書價值40美元。如果印刷和運輸特定書籍的成本超過平裝本的25美元或精裝本的40美元，則將收取額外費用，如果書籍很大，全彩色，頁數高或運輸成本高，則可能會發生這種情況。
（g） 印刷事務。Dosogopress提供印刷服務，並自行決定設定印刷費率，以反映當前的業務和市場狀況。Dosogopress在其印刷計劃下設定的費率與作者的書通過按需印刷貿易渠道銷售時使用的費率無關。作者直接從多索戈出版社購買的書籍不賺取任何版稅。多索戈出版社可能隨時更新列印速率。
i. 可列印的檔：與許多出版公司不同，多索戈出版社並不要求作者只用多索戈出版社印刷書籍。相反，作者可以選擇使用另一台印表機，在這種情況下，如果作為所購買服務的一部分提供可列印的檔，則不收取額外費用，或者如果購買的服務中不包含，則按Dosogopress公佈的價格提供列印檔。
ii. 提前印刷訂單：如果作者在圖書準備印刷之前購買了書籍，則購買價格僅根據購買時給出的生產規格（例如頁數，格式，大小，黑白或彩色）有效，如果任何報價沒有明確概述足夠的規格來確定印刷成本，則任何報價都將無效。如果在本書完成時，實際生產規格與預期不同或印刷市場條件發生變化，Dosogopress可能會相應地更新價格。如果作者提前購買並全額支付了圖書費用，並且Dosogopress的印刷計劃下的價格在購買時間和印刷時間之間增加了，Dosogopress將保留原始報價，最高可達原始價格與新價格之間10%的差異。如果差額大於10%，作者可以支付原始報價上方的餘額加上尊重的增加，或者列印符合原始價格的較低數量的書籍。或者，作者可以要求Dosogopress為提前支付的印刷報價發放100%的退款，Dosogopress將在三十（30）天內退還此類金額。這是多索戈Press的一般退款政策的例外情況，詳見下文第8節。
iii. 印刷質量問題：如果存在印刷質量問題，Dosogopress將自行決定何時發行重印書籍。作為一般規則，如果存在重大錯誤，Dosogopress將重印書籍，但如果Dosogopress自行決定認為該問題很小，則不一定重印書籍。如果出現重大錯誤，例如書籍中缺少頁面，或者由於列印錯誤而插入了錯誤書籍中的頁面，則證明重印是合理的。在這種情況下，作者可以聯繫Dosogopress提供詳細資訊，並要求重印書籍。如果存在不影響書籍可讀性和銷售性的小印刷問題，Dosogopress通常不會重印書籍。
iv. 校樣複印件：印鈔票不要求作者訂購列印的校樣;但是，作者可以選擇訂購額外收費的證明。校樣副本的成本和可用性可能因印表機和書籍類型而異。作者承認，校樣本的裝訂、紙張和墨水品質可能與主書目不同。
5.3 服務變更
Dosogopress可能會不時更新服務的一些細節或功能，或者服務的交付方式。Dosogopress保留對服務或同等價值的服務的特定功能進行合理替換的權利。
6. 分銷
6.1 分佈模型
“分發”是指通過第三方渠道製作按需印刷 （POD） 圖書、電子書和有聲讀物以供銷售和履行訂單的過程。所包含的具體格式和分發管道將因所購買的服務而異。Dosogopress 提供三種分發模型：託管分發 85、託管分發 100 和直接分發。託管分發 85 是預設分發模型，除非選擇另一個分發模型並將其包含在服務中，否則將應用該模型。
6.2 託管分發
在託管分發85和託管分發100模型下，Dosogopress通過各種分發管道管理書籍的分發，並合併對作者的版稅支付。Dosogopress確保提交給每個分銷管道的檔符合分銷商的要求。Dosogopress指導作者完成為圖書定價和提交元數據（如關鍵字、類別以及適合每個分發管道的圖書的其他信息）的過程。託管分銷 85 和託管分銷 100 之間的區別在於您向 Dosogopress 支付的預付款以及您收到的圖書版稅百分比，該百分比在第 7.2 節中有進一步描述。
6.3 直接配送
在直接分銷模式下，作者直接與每個分銷管道合作，並負責每個適用分銷管道的法律，技術，稅務，銀行和其他要求。Dosogopress 提供有關每個通道的一般資訊和指導，並提供滿足每個通道規範的最終檔。此選項僅適用於技術嫻熟且不介意處理更大複雜性的技術人員。
6.4 第三方管道
Dosogopress可能會利用第三方管道出版、行銷、分發和銷售本書。Dosogopress對此類第三方管道的任何錯誤或遺漏概不負責，也不對此類第三方管道提供的任何服務提供任何保證、陳述、認可、批准或驗證。第三方管道提供的服務可能受其他條款和條件的約束，Dosogopress將盡力告知您第三方管道施加的任何其他重要條款。
6.5 圖書定價
在任何分銷管道中設置圖書時，您可能有機會設置「建議零售價」。在許多分銷管道中，這個價格，加上作者選擇的折扣價格，間接決定了作者將獲得的版稅。但是，請務必注意，並且您在此承認，建議零售價並不決定零售商銷售圖書的最終價格。最終價格由零售商自行決定，不受作者或Dosogopress的控制。
6.6 分發支援
Dosogopress 通過託管分發模型提供兩個級別的支援：基本分發支援和高級分發支援。除非另有選擇並包含在服務中，否則所有使用託管分發的發佈專案都包括一年的高級分發支援。免費提供第二年的高級分銷支援，以換取完成Dosogopress的一般客戶反饋調查。之後，每年的高級分銷支援都需要支付年費。您可以隨時選擇降級到基本分銷支援，該支援不收取年費（但可能仍需支付第三方管道市場准入費）。高級分銷支援提供更多功能，並允許更頻繁地更改定價，折扣，元數據以及與分銷管道相關的其他功能。
6.7 市場准入費用
您承認某些第三方管道可能會收取市場准入費作為分發圖書的條件。在適用的情況下，這些費用由Dosogopress從作者那裡收取，並匯入第三方管道。
6.8 不可退貨
按需印刷分發管道中的圖書將被列為“不可退貨”，除非作者已選擇將圖書納入 Dosogopress 的圖書歸還計劃，在這種情況下，該圖書將與適用的第三方管道一起列為可退貨。您承認並非所有第三方管道都提供退貨。
6.9 國際書號
多索戈出版社的分發服務包括為作者購買的所有書籍格式提供國際標準圖書編號（ISBN）。雖然免費 ISBN 由 Dosogopress 提供，但作者可以提供自己的 ISBN。Dosogopress將適應作者的ISBN的使用，前提是沒有法律，技術或其他物質原因導致其無法使用。
7. 版稅
7.1 定義
“淨版稅”是指Dosogopress在扣除第三方管道收取的任何銀行、貨幣兌換、市場准入或分銷渠道費用（如有）和退貨費用后，已經收到或將要從分銷管道收到或將要收到的實際應計金額。Dosogopress認識到某些公司可能會使用“淨版稅”一詞作為隱藏費用的掩護，並且為了透明起見，Dosogopress將在報告和支付版稅時披露任何已知的扣除額。如果您的銀行在存入版稅時收取費用，這不是Dosogopress知道或報告的事情，而是您的責任。定義淨版稅的目的是避免多索戈出版社支付的版稅多於多索戈出版社收到的版稅的任何情況。第三方管道可能會不時或在未來的某個日期收取費用，例如市場准入費，必須支付該費用才能使圖書保留在特定第三方頻道內。如果第三方頻道選擇收取費用，Dosogopress將向您告知，您將負責支付費用。Dosogopress可以向作者開具發票以償還，或者從應計的版稅中扣除此類費用，並將其報告給作者。未能支付任何第三方渠道費用可能會導致圖書從特定第三方管道中移除。
7.2 託管分發
在託管分銷85模式下，Dosogopress保留了從分銷管道收到的凈版稅的15%，並將向您支付剩餘的85%。在Dosagopress定價不同的託管分銷100模式下，將向您支付100%的凈版稅。例如，如果一本書通過Kindle以8.00美元的價格出售，而Kindle支付了70%（5.60美元）的版稅，那麼在託管分銷85模式下，您將獲得4.76美元（5.60美元的85%），或者在託管分銷100模式下獲得全額5.60美元。
7.3 直接配送
在直接分銷模式下，您將負責與每個適用的第三方管道建立關係，並直接從每個適用的第三方管道收取版稅，而無需Dosogopress的參與。如果您選擇直接分銷模式，Dosogopress對向您支付（或未支付）的任何版稅不承擔任何責任或義務。
7.4 付款和抵銷權
淨版稅按季度支付，並受Dosogopress網站上規定的最低付款門檻的限制，將根據上一季度的銷售情況在每個季度的第二個月支付。如果任何季度應付給您的凈特許權使用費金額低於最低付款門檻，則特許權使用費將無限期結轉到後續季度，直到達到最低付款門檻，除非協議終止。如果協議終止，Dosogopress將在協議終止的季度之後的季度支付所有應付的凈特許權使用費，並且最低付款門檻將不適用。出版社保留從道高印刷公司應付給您的任何金額中扣除您欠本公司的任何款項的權利。
7.5 預計版稅
Dosogopress可能會不時使用版稅計算機或圖表等工具傳達估計或預期的版稅費率。您承認並同意，預估版稅可能會受到您的決定以及分銷管道定價和版稅費率變更的影響，這些變更超出了 Dosogopress 的控制範圍。如果多索戈印刷公司向您傳達的預期或估計版稅與多索戈press從分銷管道收到的實際版稅之間存在差異，則支付給您的版稅將始終基於分銷管道支付的實際版稅。出版社將盡誠信努力使所有資訊保持最新和準確。如果第三方管道更改其定價政策，導致版稅為負數，Dosogopress保留單方面更改分發管道中圖書設置和圖書定價的權利，以確保版稅不是負數。
8. 付款和退款
8.1 費用和貨幣
服務費用（“費用”）應根據購買時發票上列出的付款時程表到期應付。任何額外費用將按發生金額計費，並應自發票日期起三十 （30） 天內到期應付。Dosogopress不需要提供任何未在適用發票上列出的服務或尚未收到全額付款的服務。除非另有說明，所有金額均以美元為單位，對於任何其他國家/地區的客戶，所有金額均以美元為單位。
8.2 逾期付款
如果多索戈press在發票付款日期后三十（30）天內未收到根據這些條款應付的任何款項，除了可能擁有的任何其他補救措施外，Dosogopress還可以：
（a） 從付款到期之日起至 Dosogopress 實際收到付款之日，以每年 12% 的月複利利率（12.68%，有效利率）或法律允許的最高利率（以較低者為準）對此類金額收取利息，和/或
（b） 將欠您的任何特許權使用費金額與所欠 Dosogopress 的金額相抵銷。
8.3 退款
除非此處明確規定，否則所有費用均不予退還。退款受道高印刷公司對您欠道高印刷公司的任何未付金額（包括任何預付費用）的權利的約束。就本第8.3條而言，當多索高壓力機已將工作分配給內部或合同員工時，或者當您在多索高壓力機生產過程的任何階段提交了通常由多索高印刷公司啟動要完成的工作的資訊時，服務被視為已“開始”。
（a） 由出版社終止。如果PRESS終止本協定或服務的任何部分，Dosogopress將向您退還截至終止生效日期尚未開始的服務所欠的所有預付費用。此外，Dosogopress可以自行決定為任何部分完成的服務按比例提供部分退款。
（b） 作者的終止。如果您終止本協定或服務的任何部分，則發佈所購買的軟體包或其他服務的退款將按如下方式進行：
（i） 如果您尚未提交稿件，且 Dosogopress 尚未開始對任何服務進行任何編輯、設計、插圖、行銷或其他實質性工作：（A） 在收到您的首次付款之日起三十 （30） 天內，Dosogopress 將發放相當於為服務支付的價格的 100% 的退款， 減去$ 99.00手續費;和 （B） 超過三十 （30） 天，但從收到您的第一筆付款之日起不到九十 （90） 天，Dosogopress 將發放高達服務發票金額 50% 的退款。自收到首次付款之日起九十（90）天內將不提供退款。
（ii） 在提交稿件或開始任何服務後，退款應由Dosogopress自行決定，並且如果提供，應（A）僅針對尚未開始的服務支付，（B）如果在收到您的第一筆付款之日起的前三十（30）天內提出要求，則不得超過尚未開始的服務所支付費用的50%， （C） 如果請求的時間超過三十 （30） 天，但自首次付款之日起少於九十 （90） 天，則不超過為尚未開始的服務支付的費用金額的 35%，並且 （D） 如果請求的時間超過九十 （90） 天，但自首次付款之日起少於一百八十 （180） 天， 不會超過為尚未開始的服務支付的費用的10%。自收到首次付款之日起超過一百八十（180）天，將不提供退款。
任何退款將在Dosogopress收到書面通知您決定終止協定或取消本協議涵蓋的任何服務后的三十（30）天內發放。

（i） 您不會使用或試圖使用多索戈Press服務、人員、資源或工具未經授權訪問任何人的資訊，或以道高印刷公司認為可能公開其他私人資訊或對多索戈Press或其客戶使用任何多索戈Press服務或資源的能力產生不利影響的方式， 包括發佈或傳輸包含蠕蟲、病毒、特洛伊木馬或其他破壞性元件的資訊或材料
9.2 賠償

10. 有限责任
10.1 有限保證
Dosogopress保證服務將以良好和專業的方式執行，符合現行的行業標準。您違反本保證的唯一補救措施應是重新履行有缺陷的服務，或根據第8.3條退還相關費用。
10.2 所有其他保證的免責聲明
您承認並同意，您使用服務的風險由您自行承擔，並且，除第10.1條明確規定外，服務均按“原樣”和“可用”的基礎提供給您。在適用法律允許的最大範圍內，除第10.1節另有規定外，Dosogopress明確否認任何形式的保證，無論是明示的，暗示的，法定的還是其他的，包括但不限於對適銷性，適用於特定用途或特定日期和不侵權的所有保證。在不限制前述規定的一般性的前提下，多索戈出版社明確表示：

11.1. 您承認並同意，在適用法律允許的最大範圍內：
（A） 在任何情況下，Dosogopress對任何類型的所有索賠（包括由本協定、服務或本條款引起或與之相關的任何索賠）的總責任，無論是通過法規、合同、侵權行為還是根據任何其他形式的責任，都不會超過您為作為索賠標的物的服務實際支付的費用金額;（
B） Dosogopress對因服務而產生或與之相關的任何類型的任何間接、偶然、特殊、後果性或懲戒性損害概不負責，包括但不限於利潤、商譽、使用、數據或其他無形損失的損害（即使Dosogopress已被告知此類損害的可能性）。
11.2. 您承認並同意，本節的基本目的是在雙方之間分配這些條款下的風險，並限制他們的潛在責任，因為根據本協定收取的費用，如果Dosogopress承擔除本協議規定以外的任何進一步責任，這些費用將大大增加。
12. 作者與出版社之間的通信
12.1. 您與道高印集團之間的清晰溝通對於服務的成功至關重要。雙方同意以冷靜和尊重的方式進行溝通。多索戈出版社不會接受對其工作人員的辱駡行為或對其工作人員的虐待行為。出版一本書是一個複雜的專案，Dosogopress承認它對您有多重要，並承諾在根據本協定與您打交道的整個過程中牢記這一點。作者承認，Dosogopress在作者對其服務滿意度方面有著良好的記錄，並且您承諾在您根據本協定與Dosogopress打交道的整個過程中牢記這一點。有時，您可能希望表達合理的擔憂，其中可能包括需要在Dosogopress中升級問題。Dosogopress同意就如何將問題上報給管理層提供指示，以評估並真誠地決定如何最好地解決問題。

Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Services description, you do not have the right to access or use any Production Files.
4.3 Dosogopress Services
Dosogopress is the owner of the Dosogopress services, including all methodology, resources and intellectual property rights (other than Author’s Materials) related to or used in connection with the performance of the Services.

5. Scope of Services
5.1 Service Descriptions
Detailed descriptions of the services offered by Dosogopress are set out on Dosogopress websites, and abbreviated versions of services selected will be included on the client invoice issued by Dosogopress at the time of purchase. You should read the service descriptions carefully prior to selecting and purchasing any services. Dosogopress may, but will not be obligated to, provide any services beyond those described in the service descriptions for the Services that you purchase.
5.2 Charges for Additional Services
Dosogopress’s goal is to avoid any unanticipated or “hidden” costs. Current pricing for Dosogopress’s services is set out on Dosogopress websites. However, there may be circumstances when additional fees will apply, such as when you request services that are beyond the scope of what is included in the Services that you have purchased. The following is a non-exhaustive list of examples where additional fees may apply. This should be reviewed in conjunction with the specific Services listed on your invoice and the description of the services set out on Dosogopress websites:
(a) Editing and Proofreading. Editing services are not included in the Services unless they have been purchased and are listed on the invoice issued by Dosogopress. The cost of each editing service is determined by the total number of words in the manuscript. If the manuscript submitted contains more words than have been purchased, additional fees apply. The editor’s job is to greatly improve the quality of a manuscript. To minimize errors Dosogopress recommends multiple rounds of editing and proofreading the manuscript, including proofing of the manuscript and book layout as they are revised.
(b) Cover Design. Cover design services include the initial design of the front, back, and spine created by a professional designer using information supplied by the author, as well as two rounds of minor revisions based on feedback from the author and a limited stock image purchasing budget. Additional revision rounds may be purchased. If the author requests complex image manipulation beyond the scope of the Services, additional costs for design time may apply. If the author chooses to incorporate specific and more expensive stock images or artwork into the design, additional costs may also apply.
(c) Interior Layout. Interior layout services include the initial layout of the interior of a book by a professional designer using information supplied by the author, and includes two rounds of minor revisions based on feedback from the author. Additional revision rounds may be purchased. Complex layouts will be assessed for extra costs on a custom quote basis. If proofreading services were not purchased, the author is solely responsible for proofing each version of the design file to identify corrections needed; particularly as errors can occur when importing manuscript files to the software used by professional designers. If the author makes substantial corrections, additions or deletions to the content of a book mid-way through the layout process, a re-layout fee may be charged.
(d) Illustrations. Illustration services include two opportunities for you to influence the illustration: first, by outlining ideas prior to the illustrator starting the work and, second, by giving feedback on sketches provided during the process. The illustrator will have the final say on the illustrations, taking into account the author’s vision and input. Additional fees will apply on a custom quote basis if the author requires additional revisions or complexity is added to the illustrations that go beyond the illustration time allocated for the project by Dosogopress. Any revisions after the illustrations have been approved will be considered new illustrations, and will be subject to additional charges.
(e) Marketing and Publicity. Dosogopress’s responsibility to publicize the Book and the author will be limited to the scope of book marketing services purchased. Any efforts beyond those set out in the applicable Services description will be provided at Dosogopress’s sole discretion. Author website services include securing domain names, basic set up and one year of hosting services, as described in the applicable services description. Annual renewals after the first year, and any additional website work not included in the services description, are subject to additional fees.
(f) Complimentary Copies. Publishing packages include the author receiving a complimentary copy of the Book, up to a $25 value for paperback, and $40 for hardcover. Additional fees will apply if the cost of printing and shipping a particular book exceeds $25 for paperback or $40 for hardcover, which may occur if the book is large, full colour, of high page count or costly to ship.
(g) Printing Services. Dosogopress provides printing services and sets printing rates at its discretion, reflecting current business and market conditions. The rates Dosogopress sets under its printing program are unrelated to the rates used when an author’s book sells through print-on-demand trade channels. The author does not earn any royalties on books purchased directly from Dosogopress. Dosogopress may update printing rates at any time.
i. Print-ready files: Unlike many publishing companies, Dosogopress does not require the author to print books exclusively with Dosogopress. Rather, the author may choose to engage another printer, in which case Dosogopress will provide print-ready files at no additional cost if included as part of the purchased Services, or at Dosogopress’s published rates if not included in the purchased Services.
ii. Advance print orders: If the author purchased books in advance of the Book being ready for print, the purchase price is valid only based on the production specifications (e.g. page count, format, size, black and white or colour) given at the time of the purchase, and any quote will be invalid if it does not clearly outline sufficient specifications to determine the print cost. If, at the time the book is finished, the actual production specifications are different than what was anticipated or printing market conditions have changed, the price may be updated accordingly by Dosogopress. Where the author has purchased and paid in full for books in advance, and where the prices under Dosogopress’s printing program have increased between the time of purchase and the time of printing, Dosogopress will honor the original quote up to a 10% difference between the original price and the new price. If the difference is greater than 10% the author may either pay the balance above the original quote plus the honored increase, or print a lower quantity of book that fits within the original price paid. Alternatively, the author may request that Dosogopress issue a 100% refund for the printing quote that was paid in advance, and Dosogopress will refund such amounts within thirty (30) days. This is an exception to Dosogopress’s general refund policy, set out in Section 8, below.
iii. Print quality issues: If there is a printing quality issue, Dosogopress in its sole discretion will decide when to issue a reprinting of books. As a general rule, Dosogopress will reprint books if there is a major error, but not necessarily reprint the books if the issue is deemed minor in Dosogopress’s sole discretion. A major error such as pages missing from the book, or pages from the wrong book being inserted due to a printing error, would justify a reprint. In such a scenario the author can contact Dosogopress with the details and request a reprinting of the books. Dosogopress generally will not reprint books if there are minor printing issues that do not affect the readability and salability of the book.
iv. Proof copies: Dosogopress does not require that the author order a printed proof; however, the author may choose to order a proof at an additional cost. The cost and availability of proof copies may vary by printer and book type. The author acknowledges that the binding, paper and ink quality of a proof copy may differ from that of the main book order.
5.3 Changes to the Services
From time to time, Dosogopress may update some details or features of Services or the manner in which Services are delivered. Dosogopress reserves the right to make reasonable substitutions of Services or of particular features of Services of equivalent value.
6. Distribution
6.1 Distribution Models
“Distribution” refers to the process of making print-on-demand (POD) books, ebooks, and audiobooks available for sale and fulfilling orders through Third Party Channels. The specific formats and distribution channels included will vary depending upon the Services purchased. Dosogopress offers three distribution models: Managed Distribution 85, Managed Distribution 100, and Direct Distribution. Managed Distribution 85 is the default distribution model and will apply unless another distribution model is selected and included in the Services.
6.2 Managed Distribution
Under the Managed Distribution 85 and Managed Distribution 100 models, Dosogopress manages the distribution of the book via the various distribution channels and consolidates royalty payments to the author. Dosogopress ensures that the files submitted to each distribution channel meet the distributors’ requirements. Dosogopress guides the author through the process of pricing the book and submitting metadata such as keywords, categories, and other information about the book appropriate to each distribution channel. The difference between Managed Distribution 85 and Managed Distribution 100 is in the upfront price you pay to Dosogopress and the royalty percentage that you receive for the Book which is further described in Section 7.2.
6.3 Direct Distribution
Under the Direct Distribution model, the author works directly with each distribution channel and is responsible for the legal, technical, tax, banking and other requirements of each applicable distribution channel. Dosogopress provides general information and guidance about each channel and provides final files that meet the specifications of each channel. This option is only suitable for more technically savvy people who don’t mind dealing with greater complexity.
6.4 Third Party Channels
Dosogopress may engage Third Party Channels for the purposes of publishing, marketing, distributing and selling the Book. Dosogopress is not responsible for any errors or omissions by such Third Party Channels, and does not provide any warranties, representations, endorsements, approvals or verification of any services provided by such Third Party Channels. Services provided by Third Party Channels may be subject to additional terms and conditions, and Dosogopress will endeavour to advise you of any additional material terms imposed by Third Party Channels.
6.5 Book Pricing
When setting up a book in any distribution channel, you may have the opportunity to set the “Suggested Retail Price.” In many distribution channels this price, together with the discount price selected by the author, indirectly determines the royalty the author will earn. However, it is important to note, and you hereby acknowledge, that the Suggested Retail Price does not dictate the final price at which retailers will sell your Book. The final price is determined at the sole discretion of the retailer, and is beyond the control of either the author or Dosogopress.
6.6 Distribution Support
Dosogopress offers two levels of support with the Managed Distribution models: Basic Distribution Support and Premium Distribution Support. Unless otherwise selected and included in the Services, all publishing projects with Managed Distribution include one year of Premium Distribution Support. A second year of Premium Distribution Support is offered at no cost in exchange for completing Dosogopress’s General Client Feedback Survey. After that, each year of Premium Distribution Support is subject to an annual fee. At any time you may choose to downgrade to Basic Distribution Support, which has no annual fee (but which may still be subject to a Third Party Channel market access fee). Premium Distribution Support offers more features and allows for more frequent changes to pricing, discounting, metadata, as well as other features related to distribution channels.
6.7 Market Access Fees
You acknowledge that certain Third Party Channels may charge market access fees as a condition of distributing a book. Where applicable, these fees are collected by Dosogopress from authors and remitted to the Third Party Channels.
6.8 Non-Returnable
Books in print-on-demand distribution channels will be listed as “non-returnable” unless an author has opted to include the book in Dosogopress’s Book Return Program, in which case the book will be listed with applicable Third Party Channels as returnable. You acknowledge that not all Third Party Channels offer returns.
6.9 ISBNs
Dosogopress’s distribution services include securing International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) for all book formats purchased by the author. While complimentary ISBNs are provided by Dosogopress, authors may provide their own ISBNs. Dosogopress will accommodate the use of the author’s ISBN provided that there is no legal, technical or other material reason why it is not able to be used.
7. Royalties
7.1 Definition
“Net royalties” means the actual amount of accrued money Dosogopress has received or will receive from a distribution channel, after deducting any bank, currency exchange, market access or distribution channel fees charged by a Third Party Channel (if any), and return costs. Recognizing that some companies may use the term “net royalty” as a cover for hidden fees, and in the interest of transparency, Dosogopress will disclose any known deductions when reporting on and paying out royalties. If your bank charges a fee when the royalty is deposited, this is not something that Dosogopress would know or report and will be your responsibility. The purpose of defining net royalty is to avoid any scenario where Dosogopress is paying out more royalties than Dosogopress receives. From time to time or at some date in the future, a Third Party Channel may impose a fee, such as a Market Access Fee, that must be paid for a Book to remain within the particular Third Party Channel. In the event that a Third Party Channel elects to charge a fee, Dosogopress will make this known to you and you will be responsible for covering the cost. Dosogopress may either issue an invoice to the author for reimbursement of, or deduct such fees from accrued royalties and report this to the Author. Failure to pay any Third Party Channel fee may result in the removal of the Book from the particular Third Party Channel.
7.2 Managed Distribution
Under the Managed Distribution 85 model Dosogopress retains 15% of the net royalties received from distribution channels, and will pay you the remaining 85%. Under the Managed Distribution 100 model which is priced differently by Dosogopress, 100% of the net royalties will be paid to you. For example, if a book sells at $8.00 via Kindle, and Kindle pays out 70% ($5.60) as a royalty, you would receive $4.76 under the Managed Distribution 85 model (85% of the $5.60) or the full $5.60 under the Managed Distribution 100 model.
7.3 Direct Distribution
Under the Direct Distribution model you will be responsible for establishing relationships with, and receiving royalties directly from, each applicable Third Party Channel without Dosogopress’s involvement. Dosogopress shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any royalties paid (or not paid) to you if you select the Direct Distribution model.
7.4 Payment and Right of Set-Off
Net royalties are payable quarterly and, subject to a minimum payment threshold as specified on Dosogopress’s websites, will be paid during the second month of each quarter based upon sales during the previous quarter. If the amount of net royalties payable to you for any quarter falls below the minimum payment threshold, royalties will be carried over to subsequent quarters indefinitely until the minimum payment threshold is met, unless the Agreement is terminated. If the Agreement is terminated, Dosogopress will pay all net royalties owing in the quarter following the quarter during which the Agreement is terminated, and the minimum payment threshold will not apply. Dosogopress reserves the right to deduct any amounts owing by you to Dosogopress against any amounts payable to you by Dosogopress.
7.5 Estimated Royalties
From time to time, Dosogopress may communicate estimated or expected royalty rates using tools such as royalty calculators or charts. You acknowledge and agree that estimated royalties may be affected by your decisions and changes to distribution channel pricing and royalty rates that are beyond Dosogopress’s control. In the event of a discrepancy between the expected or estimated royalty communicated to you by Dosogopress and the actual royalty received by Dosogopress from a distribution channel, the royalty paid to you will always be based on the actual royalty paid out by the distribution channel. Dosogopress will use good faith efforts to keep all information up to date and accurate. In the event that a Third Party Channel changes its pricing policy in a manner that would result in a negative royalty, Dosogopress reserves the right to unilaterally change the Book setup and pricing of the Book in distribution channels so as to ensure that the royalty is not a negative number.
8. Payments and Refunds
8.1 Fees and Currency
Fees for Services (“Fees”) are due and payable in accordance with the payment schedule set out on the invoice at the time of purchase. Any additional charges will be billed as incurred, and are due and payable net thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. Dosogopress is not required to provide any Services not listed on the applicable invoice or for which payment in full has not been received. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts are in Canadian dollars for clients in Canada, and in United States dollars for clients in any other country.
8.2 Late Payment
If any amounts due under these Terms are not received by Dosogopress within thirty (30) days of the payment date on the invoice, in addition to any other remedies that it may have, Dosogopress may:
(a) charge interest on such amounts at the rate of 12% per year compounded monthly (12.68%, effective rate) or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date payment was due until the date that payment is actually received by Dosogopress, and/or
(b) set-off the amount of any royalties owed to you against the amount owed to Dosogopress.

16. General
16.1 Right to Refuse to Provide Services
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, Dosogopress will not be obliged to publish any book or to provide any other services if, at any point and in Dosogopress’s sole opinion, to do so would be illegal, immoral, unethical, inflammatory, or would constitute a violation or infringement of any party’s dignity, intellectual property or privacy rights.
