Welcome to Classpedia Publishing. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Classpedia Publishing website, PublishSpace, Classpedia Marketplace, publishing and distribution services, and other related services provided by Classpedia Publishing (“Classpedia,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).
By creating an account, submitting a manuscript, purchasing a service, or otherwise using Classpedia Publishing, you agree to these Terms.
Eligibility
You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use our publishing services.
If you are using Classpedia Publishing on behalf of an organization, publisher, company, or another individual, you confirm that you have the authority to act on their behalf.
Your Classpedia Account
Certain services require you to create an account through PublishSpace.
You agree to:
- Provide accurate and current information
- Keep your login credentials secure
- Update your information when necessary
- Notify us of suspected unauthorized access
- Accept responsibility for activity conducted through your account as permitted by applicable law
We may suspend or restrict accounts that violate these Terms, applicable laws, or our platform policies.
Manuscript Submissions
When submitting a manuscript, book, cover, illustration, or other material, you confirm that:
- You own the content or have the necessary rights and permissions to publish it
- Your submission does not infringe another person's copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights
- Your submission does not contain unlawful or prohibited material
- Information provided about the book and its authorship is accurate
Classpedia reserves the right to review manuscripts before approving them for publication or distribution.
Submission of a manuscript does not guarantee publication.
Ownership of Your Work
You retain ownership of the copyright in your original work unless a separate written agreement specifically provides otherwise.
By choosing to publish or distribute your book through Classpedia, you grant us the permissions reasonably necessary to prepare, display, reproduce, distribute, market, sell, and otherwise process your book for the publishing and distribution services you select.
Specific publishing and distribution rights may be further defined in your publishing agreement.
Publishing and Distribution
Classpedia may make approved books available through the Classpedia Marketplace and eligible third-party distribution channels.
Availability on individual bookstores, marketplaces, libraries, retailers, or other platforms may depend on their own requirements, policies, territories, formats, and approval processes.
Classpedia does not guarantee that every book will be accepted or remain available on every distribution platform.
Publication Review
Submitted books may undergo a review before publication.
We may request corrections, additional information, formatting changes, verification of rights, or other modifications before approving a publication.
Review timelines are estimates unless expressly guaranteed under a separate written agreement.
Classpedia Marketplace
Authors may make eligible books available for sale through the Classpedia Marketplace.
Book listings may display information including:
- Author or pen name
- Book title and description
- Cover artwork
- Pricing
- Categories
- Publication information
- Ratings and reviews
- Other relevant book information
Classpedia may establish reasonable marketplace standards relating to listings, content, pricing presentation, promotions, reviews, and customer experience.
Royalties
Eligible authors may earn royalties from qualifying book sales according to the royalty structure applicable to their publication.
Royalty rates may vary based on factors including:
- Sales channel
- Book format
- Retail price
- Printing or production costs
- Distributor or retailer fees
- Taxes
- Discounts and promotions
- Refunds or chargebacks
- Other applicable transaction costs
Where Classpedia advertises royalties of up to 75%, “up to” represents the maximum potential royalty under eligible circumstances and does not mean every sale will generate a 75% royalty.
The applicable royalty calculation will be displayed or communicated through the relevant publishing plan, agreement, or PublishSpace account.
$250 First Publication Bonus
Classpedia may offer eligible authors a $250 bonus on their first successful publication, subject to the eligibility requirements of the applicable promotional program.
A successful publication generally means a book that has completed the required submission and review process and has been approved and published according to the applicable program requirements.
Additional eligibility criteria, payout timelines, geographic restrictions, verification requirements, or promotional conditions may apply.
Classpedia reserves the right to reject bonus claims involving duplicate accounts, fraudulent submissions, manipulated transactions, or attempts to misuse the promotion.
Sales and Payouts
Authors can use PublishSpace to view available information regarding book sales, royalties, and upcoming payouts.
Payouts may be subject to:
- Minimum payout thresholds
- Identity verification
- Tax information
- Payment-provider requirements
- Processing periods
- Refunds and chargebacks
- Distributor reporting schedules
- Applicable fees and taxes
Sales information from external distribution partners may not appear immediately because reporting schedules differ between platforms.

Prices may change from time to time. Changes will not normally affect services already purchased unless otherwise agreed or required by law.
Applicable taxes, payment-processing charges, or other fees may be added where required.
Cancellations and Refunds
Cancellation and refund eligibility may depend on the service purchased and how much work has already been completed.
Certain services may become non-refundable once work has commenced, files have been delivered, distribution has begun, or third-party expenses have been incurred.
Any applicable refund or cancellation policy presented at the time of purchase will form part of these Terms.
Author Responsibilities
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their books and submitted materials comply with applicable laws and do not violate third-party rights.
You must not submit content that:

Classpedia is not responsible for actions, outages, policy changes, delays, or decisions made independently by third-party platforms.
