Publishing agreement

01Before publication

These publishing terms are intended for authors, publishers and other rights holders who authorize NEBABNA to distribute their work. Review and expressly accept the applicable terms through the publishing process or a written agreement before publication. Reading this page alone does not sign an agreement or authorize a release. A separately signed agreement governs any expressly different terms.

02Ownership and authority

You retain copyright in your work. You must own or control the rights needed for the material you submit, including text, cover artwork, images, translations and, where applicable, narration. Obtain permission from co-authors and other rights holders. Tell NEBABNA about any limits on territory, format or duration before publication.

03Permission to distribute

When you accept the publishing terms and authorize a title for release, you grant NEBABNA the non-exclusive permission needed to host, process, display and distribute that title in the approved digital format and territories. This includes displaying the supplied cover, author name and description, and using technical providers to deliver authorized access. Copyright ownership is not transferred.

Permission for an eBook does not by itself authorize a new audiobook, translation or printed edition. Any additional format, adaptation or territory must be covered by your rights and the applicable agreement.

04Submission and review

Provide accurate book details, complete files and rights information. NEBABNA may ask for corrections or supporting information and may decline material that does not meet its requirements. Approval does not certify the accuracy of every statement or replace your responsibility for the work. Review, store approval and public release are separate steps.

05Revenue sharing

The standard publisher share is 80% of confirmed net store proceeds attributable to the title; NEBABNA’s share is 20%. This is a share of the proceeds received and reconciled, not 80% of the displayed retail price. Store commissions, taxes collected or withheld by the store, refunds and reversals affect the net proceeds reported by the store. The same deduction must not be counted twice.

A verified sale can appear before store funds are received. Statements and payout records distinguish sales, confirmed proceeds, adjustments and transfers. Raise a question about an amount with the relevant title, statement period and transaction reference, where available.

06Payouts and payment details

Payouts are organized on a monthly cycle after the relevant store proceeds have been received and reconciled. Provide accurate recipient and payment details. Available transfer methods, including PayPal or Remitly where supported, depend on the recipient’s country and provider availability. A dashboard balance is not confirmation that a transfer has been sent.

Store settlement delays, identity or payment checks, disputes and failed transfers can affect timing. Any transfer fees, currency-conversion treatment or additional commercial conditions should be disclosed and agreed before the relevant payment arrangement. You remain responsible for your own tax obligations, subject to any withholding required by law.

07Corrections and new editions

Keep book information and publishing rights current. Submit corrections, replacement covers and new files through the supported publishing workflow. A change may require a new review before it reaches readers. Tell the team promptly about a rights dispute or an error that could materially affect readers.

08Withdrawal and existing readers

You can request changes to a listing or ask to withdraw a title from new sales. Contact the publishing team with the title and the requested action. Withdrawal is handled separately from existing readers’ access, outstanding refunds, unpaid proceeds and records needed for legal or accounting purposes. Any continued delivery to existing purchasers must stay within the applicable rights and agreement.

09Disputes and communication

NEBABNA may pause distribution while investigating a credible rights concern or a material breach of the agreed terms. Keep copies of your work, permissions and statements. Send publishing questions or disputes through Contact us and choose Publishing & partnerships. We do not guarantee a particular number of readers, sales or earnings.
