IMPORTANT NOTICE: Book Cover Station DOES NOT use AI software or stock images labeled as AI-generated. All our covers are 100% human-made products.
​
​
By contacting Book Cover Station, the client agrees to the following terms and conditions:
​
​
-
The client agrees not to use our cover and cover art in any AI engines or AI filters without permission.
-
The client agrees to abide by the terms of any license agreement for any images purchased by Book Cover Station through a third-party image provider for use in the client’s book cover design. The cost of cover design includes the STANDARD license to use stock images and is limited to a print-run of 500,000 units, or sales in the case of e-books or audiobooks. For books with a print run of over 500,000 units, an additional license has to be purchased by the client for each stock photo that plays a major role in the cover design. If clients want to use the cover design in any other way, other than the ebook and paperback covers (to print on mugs or T-shirts, etc.), they are responsible for purchasing an Extended License.
-
The client agrees to maintain proper image licensing for any image used in the cover art. If the cover is downloaded more than the stipulated amount or used in a way that is not covered with the standard license so that the cover breaches the stock photo contract, it is at the client's liability. Book Cover Station is not liable for any penalties charged by stock photo companies for licensing infringement.
-
Upon receipt of final payment, the client has exclusive, non-transferable rights to use the design for its intended use (ebook, paperback, promotion). Artwork and design may not be resold, reused, or used out of context, or transferred to another person or company without prior consultation with Book Cover Station.
-
The client understands that he/she has no right to alter the final cover design in any way except to change size for printing or digital display without consulting with Book Cover Station first.
-
For audio covers included with each cover package free of charge, the client's personal usage is permitted if he/she decides to self-publish an audiobook. If another company wishes to use the design created by Book Cover Station, they must contact Book Cover Station and purchase the rights/artwork before using the design for their own needs that may lead to financial or any other gain from using the artwork.
-
For logo design projects, the client agrees to abide by the terms of any license agreement for any fonts purchased by Book Cover Station through a third-party font provider for use in the client’s logo projects.
-
The client is fully responsible for proofing the book cover design provided by Book Cover Station. It is necessary that a client request a proof from the printer before publishing or ordering any copies of the book. Book Cover Station will not be held financially or legally responsible for any problems, costs, fees, or expenses incurred by a client as a result of using the book cover design.
-
Book Cover Station will not be held liable for any incidental, indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind related to our services.
-
Book Cover Station retains the right to use the client’s final book cover design, name, and book title in our portfolio and to market and promote our services. Book Cover Station retains copyright and ownership of all design and draft materials.
-
By hiring Book Cover Station and using the final design, the client agrees to credit the company with "Book cover designed by Book Cover Station" inside the acknowledgements/copyright page of the book.
-
By contacting Book Cover Station, the client accepts the above stated terms and conditions without the need for a signed agreement. It is considered that the client accepts the above stated terms and conditions the moment he/she emails Book Cover Station.
-
It is strictly prohibited to resell the cover created by Book Cover Station for a specific client to someone else (or offer it for sale), unless the client has previously obtained a written statement from Book Cover Station allowing him to do so.
