Our community guidelines

Terms of Use

This document and the other documents that we reference below make up Our Community Etiquette, or what we officially call our Terms of Use (the “Terms” for short).

The Terms, including all of the policies that make up the Terms, supersede any other agreement between you and Printable Publishing regarding the Solutions. Our failure to enforce any part of the Terms is not a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of the Terms. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under the Terms.

The policies that make up the Terms are:

1. Accepting These Terms

The Terms are a legally binding contract between you and Printable Publishing.

This contract sets out your rights and responsibilities when you use PrintablePublishing.com, our mobile apps, and other services provided by Printable Publishing (we’ll refer to all of these collectively as our “Solutions”). By using any of our Solutions (even just browsing one of our websites or apps), you agree to the Terms.

Printable Publishing’s Solutions connect people around the world online, to make, sell, and buy unique digital books. All of our individual policies are a part of our Terms, so be sure to read the ones that are relevant for you.

2. Your Privacy

Our Privacy Policy details how your information is collected, used and shared when you use our Solutions. By using our Solutions, you’re also agreeing that we can process your information in the ways set out in the Privacy Policy.

Both Printable Publishing and Partners process members’ personal information (for example, buyer name, email address, and shipping address) and are therefore considered separate and independent data controllers of buyers’ personal information under EU law. That means that each party is responsible for the personal information it processes in providing the Solutions.

If, however, you (as a Partner) and Printable Publishing are found to be joint data controllers of buyers’ personal information, and if Printable Publishing is sued, fined, or otherwise incurs expenses because of something that you did (or failed to do), you agree to defend and indemnify Printable Publishing in accordance with the Terms.

4. Your Account

You’ll need to create an account with Printable Publishing to use our Solutions

A. You must be 18 years or older to use our Solutions. Minors under 18 and at least 13 years of age are only permitted to use our Solutions through an account owned by a parent or legal guardian with their appropriate permission and under their direct supervision. Children under 13 years are not permitted to use Printable Publishing or the Solutions. You are responsible for any and all account activity conducted by a minor on your account.

B. You must provide accurate information about yourself. It’s prohibited to use false information or impersonate another person or company through your account.

C. It’s okay if you decide to not have your full name serve as the name associated with your account. Be aware that your pseudonym doesn’t use language that is offensive, vulgar, infringes someone’s intellectual property rights, or otherwise violates the Terms.

D. You’re solely responsible for any activity on your account. If you’re sharing an account with other people, then the person whose financial information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity. Accounts are generally not transferable.

E. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchisee relationship between you and Printable Publishing. Since this is a community, we however, find it suitable referring to our sellers as “Partners”.
