These terms govern your use of bobcat.press and any publishing services you purchase from Bobcat Press LLC.
What we are
Bobcat Press is an independent publishing imprint. We provide a publishing credential — not editorial, design, production, or marketing services.
What the service includes
When you purchase a Bobcat Press publishing package, you receive:
- An ISBN registered to your book with Bobcat Press as publisher of record
- The Bobcat Press imprint listed on your book’s metadata and retail listings
- The Bobcat Press colophon for use on your copyright page
- An official letter of publication on Bobcat Press letterhead
- A listing in the Bobcat Press catalog
- An author page on bobcat.press
What it does not include
Editing. Cover design. Interior layout. Printing. Distribution setup. Marketing. Sales. Publicity. We do not do these things, and buying the package does not obligate us to.
Your rights and ours
You keep everything. You retain full copyright in your work. You retain 100% of all sales proceeds, forever. Bobcat Press claims no ownership interest in your book and takes no royalty.
Bobcat Press appears as publisher of record for the purpose of the ISBN and imprint listing. That is the extent of our role.
You grant us permission to display your book’s title, cover, description, and your author bio and photo on bobcat.press and in promotional material for the imprint.
What you promise us
- The work is yours. You own it, or you have the rights to publish it.
- It doesn’t infringe anyone’s copyright, trademark, or other rights.
- It isn’t defamatory, unlawful, or plagiarized.
- The information you give us is accurate.
You are responsible for your book’s content. If a claim is brought against Bobcat Press because of your book, you agree to cover the cost of defending it.
What we can decline
Bobcat Press is a curated imprint. We reserve the right to decline any submission, for any reason, before publication.
After publication, we reserve the right to withdraw the Bobcat Press imprint from a title — and to remove it from our catalog and site — if we learn that the work infringes third-party rights, was misrepresented to us, or exposes Bobcat Press to legal or reputational risk. Where we can, we’ll talk to you first.
ISBNs
ISBNs issued under Bobcat Press are assigned by us, one per title per format. They may not be resold, transferred, or reassigned to another book or another publisher. ISBNs are assigned only to titles submitted to and accepted by Bobcat Press.
Payment and refunds
Fees are one-time and payable in advance. See our Refund Policy.
Limits
We provide the service as-is. We don’t guarantee sales, reviews, retail acceptance, or any particular outcome. Retailers, distributors, and industry databases are outside our control.
To the extent the law allows, Bobcat Press’s total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA.
Changes
We may update these terms. The version in effect when you purchased governs your purchase.
