Your submission may be accessed by authorized Classpedia personnel, service providers, editors, designers, reviewers, or publishing partners when necessary to review, prepare, publish, distribute, or support your book.

Rights relating to publication, distribution, licensing, and sale of your book are governed by the applicable publishing agreement, service agreement, or terms accepted when you use our services.
PublishSpace
Authors may use PublishSpace to upload and manage books, track publication status, manage distribution, monitor sales and royalties, view payouts, and access publishing-related tools.
Information displayed within PublishSpace is associated with your account and should be protected by keeping your login credentials confidential.
You are responsible for activities conducted through your account where permitted by applicable law and our Terms of Use.
Payments, Royalties and Payouts
When you purchase services, sell books, receive royalties, or qualify for other payments, we may collect or process information necessary to complete the transaction.
Payment information may be processed by third-party payment providers. Depending on the payment method, Classpedia may not directly store complete payment-card or banking credentials.
We may retain transaction records where necessary for accounting, taxation, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legal compliance.
