These terms apply to your use of casover.com and explain the general basis on which Casover Publishing (“Casover”, “we”, “us”) provides publishing services. A paid project is also governed by its written proposal, scope and service agreement. If there is a conflict, the signed service agreement takes priority.
1. About Casover
Casover Publishing is a trading name of Draft2Book LLP, a limited liability partnership registered in England and Wales under partnership number OC455633. Its registered office is Unit C5, Welland Business Park, Valley Way, Market Harborough, LE16 7PS, United Kingdom. In these terms, “Casover”, “we” and “us” mean Draft2Book LLP trading as Casover Publishing.
Casover provides manuscript critiques and managed publishing support. The website also displays books previously associated with Casover and related publishing work as a historical catalogue and evidence of experience.
2. The book catalogue
Casover does not currently sell books through this website. Catalogue entries are not offers for sale. Where a book is available from Amazon or another retailer, that retailer controls the transaction, price, delivery, returns and customer service under its own terms.
3. Enquiries and forming a contract
Submitting an enquiry does not create a contract or oblige either party to proceed. A service contract is formed only when the applicable proposal or agreement has been accepted in writing and any stated initial payment or other condition has been satisfied.
4. Scope, timetable and payment
The work, exclusions, responsibilities, timetable, fees, payment stages and approval process for a project will be set out in writing. Estimates and target dates depend on timely information, decisions and approvals from the client and on the availability of relevant third parties.
5. Client responsibilities
You must provide accurate information and timely decisions. You are responsible for ensuring that material supplied to us is lawful, does not infringe copyright, privacy, confidentiality or other rights, and can be used for the agreed purpose. You remain responsible for the final accuracy of text, names, claims and other content you approve for publication.
6. Rights and intellectual property
Authors and clients retain ownership of their manuscripts and other pre-existing material. You grant Casover only the permissions reasonably needed to assess the work and deliver the agreed service. Ownership or licensing of commissioned designs, edited files and other deliverables will be set out in the service agreement and may depend on full payment.
7. Third-party services
Publishing work may involve platforms and suppliers such as retailers, distributors, printers, software providers and freelance specialists. Their own terms, decisions, fees and technical requirements apply. We will explain important dependencies, but we cannot guarantee that a third party will accept, retain, rank, distribute or sell a title.
8. No guarantee of commercial success
Casover provides a professional route to publication and informed support. We do not guarantee sales, reviews, media coverage, rankings, awards, profit or any other commercial result. Publishing outcomes depend on the book, market, pricing, distribution, promotion, timing and decisions made by the author and third parties.
9. Cancellation and refunds
Your statutory rights are not affected. A consumer entering a service contract online will generally have a 14-day cancellation period, subject to the applicable law and any exceptions. If you expressly ask us to begin work during that period and then cancel, you may be required to pay a reasonable amount for work already performed. The right to cancel may be lost once a service has been fully performed, where the required request and acknowledgement have been given. Any project-specific cancellation stages, non-recoverable third-party costs and refund arrangements will be stated in the written service agreement. If work is defective or not supplied with reasonable care and skill, the remedies required by consumer law remain available. To discuss cancellation or a refund, email steve@casover.com.
10. Website information
We take reasonable care with website information but it is general publishing information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Content may be updated, corrected or withdrawn. Links to external websites are provided for convenience and do not make us responsible for their content or availability.
11. Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or death or personal injury caused by negligence, and nothing limits a consumer’s statutory rights. Any additional limits that apply to a paid project will be set out fairly in its service agreement.
12. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.
13. Changes
We may update these website terms. Changes apply from the date shown above and do not retrospectively replace the terms of an existing signed service agreement.
14. Governing law
These website terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts that have jurisdiction will be determined by applicable law, including the protections available to consumers where they live.
15. Contact
