To use this site you confirm that you are of a legal age
to enter into binding contracts, that you are also of a legal age to view and
purchase adult related material. You also confirm that you have not been
previously banned from this site by us.
Visitors
As a visitor you affirm you are at least 18 years of age
and are not offended by adult mnaterial. You are welcome to browse our site,
and read the free extracts. If you wish to purchase any of our titles you MUST
join us as a FREE Member. This is so that any purchases can be added to your own personal library
so you can download them whenever you want to. When you make a purchase you
MUST use a valid email address so you can receive an email receipt containing the
authorisation code for your credit card transaction.
Members
As a member you MUST provide us with a valid, working
email address. On joining us you will be emailed an activation code, and you
will not be able to gain access to the Members area, including your personal
library (bookshelf) until your account has been activated.
On
joining us you will be automatically subscribed to our twice weekly
newsletter. You are at liberty to unsubscribe at any time from a link in our
newsletters.
On
a periodic basis we will send a bounce test email to your registered email
address. Any bounce will result in your member account being flagged as
inactive - and you will need to reactivate your account from the log in screen
before you can gain access to the Member area.
After logging in as a member you will gain access to
your own personal library where you can download your purchased ebooks.
We log
ALL site activity and any member who attempts to hack this site will forfeit
their membership and access to any purchases made. We may also, at our sole
discretion, pursue through the courts any hacker for civil damages. Any member
who divulges their Id or password to ANY OTHER PERSON will forfeit their
account and all ebooks in their library will be deleted. We also may pursue
that member for the perceived loss of income we have suffered to the sum of
the value of all ebooks in that member's library multiplied by the number of
accesses detected. We consider that any access of a Members account within a
24 hour period shall be through a single group of IP numbers - where multiple
accesses occur covering different IP numbers then we shall deem that member to
have divulged their details to others.
At
regular intervals we offer a rebate scheme on all our titles. Rebates are
added to member accounts after the purchase is paid for using a credit or
debit card. Account balances can then be used to purchase further ebooks from
our sites, assuming the balance is sufficient to cover the cost of the ebook.
We do NOT repay any rebates to members.
-
Prices
This site displays and operates its business in US
Dollars. All prices are set by the appropriate publisher who is at liberty to offer
their products at a discounted price. This does not necessarily mean the
product has ever been offered for sale at the full price. We do not control
pricing policy on this site. Discounted prices only apply to the first 14 days
form the date a title is published.
-
Fees
We do NOT charge fees for the use of this site.
Publishers and authors are at liberty to promote their titles for a nominal
fee each month, but this is at their discretion. We pass on ALL costs of any
chargebacks arising from fraudulent transactions and we also actively
co-operate with the authorities in tracing and prosecuting any person who
instigates a fraudulent credit card transaction. We WILL SEEK the maximum
penalty applicable for ALL FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES through the criminal justice
system applicable in the United Kingdom.
-
Copyright
We permit authorised publishers to post content
which is immediately available for sale through our site. After we have approved a
publisher (based on the first three titles they wish to publish on our site) we do
not censor any further content before making it available. Therefore it is possible that a publisher may
illegally post content for which they are not legally entitled to do so, or they may publish stories
with unacceptable or illegal content. If
you are aware of content which may not be legally distributed through this
site or which causes an infringement of copyright or intellectual property, it
is important to contact us immediately. We do not want to distribute any such
material and will co-operate fully in any legal process against such a poster.
-
Terms of Publishing
You MUST ensure that you are legally entitled
to distribute and charge for any item that you publish on this site. This
includes adhering to copyright laws as well as any pre-existing legal
contracts. Any material posted on this adult book site must be legal for sale in the United
Kingdom. Any person posting anything illegal, such as child pornography
(including ANY characters under the age of 18 years), will
be reported to the authorities and will have their account with us terminated
without compensation, and will forfeit ALL commissions earned on the account.
In addition, you must select appropriate genres for your posting. If you do
not do so, we will remove your title and may close your account. Any person
posting anything other than legal adult content on this site will have the
content removed and may be reported to the authorities if we consider such
action appropriate. We reserve the right to remove any content, for any
reason, without limitation or legal recourse. By posting content for sale at
A1AdultEbooks, you grant us a non-exclusive right to sell such content on
A1AdultEbooks and any of our other related sites - all of which will be linked
to A1AdultEbooks for the purposes of sales and calculation of commissions and
royalties earned.
Under this agreement, if you decide to stop selling a title at A1AdultEbooks,
you continue to grant us the right to distribute your content indefinitely to
users who have previously purchased your title. By uploading your content on
this site you are stating your acceptance of this agreement and that you
understand the terms governing how we distribute your content to consumers.
This agreement replaces any previous agreement between you and A1AdultEbooks
for the sale of content.
-
Content
You must ONLY sell full versions of your ebooks at
A1AdultEbooks. Your titles may NOT include any passwords, or demands for
further fees in order for the purchaser to read the entire content. You may
NOT link directly to any other website, though you may mention a website if it
is part of your own copyright notice, but there must be NO active links,
unless you have a written agreement from us on this matter.
-
Honesty Policy
You must accurately describe the content you
are offering for sale. Any misleading or otherwise inaccurate descriptions may
constitute fraud and will result in your account being terminated with
forfeiture of any royalties. You may also be liable to criminal prosecution.
You are permitted to market your titles through your descriptions but what you
state must be factually correct.
-
Royalties
We pay our publishers/authors a rate of commission
as displayed on our Publish/Sell page and our Author Guidelines page.
Rates may change from time to time. The
content owner is at liberty to charge their own prices and to set discounts.
In these instances the applicable royalty will be based on the discounted
price. Royalties are paid on a 4 weekly cycle, subject to a MINIMUM amount
of $50 having been earned. All payments are made within 14 days of the end of a cycle
and are subject to deductions for any chargebacks we are
notified about by our credit card processing agent. We can make payment either
by a UK £ (Sterling) bank cheque or via PayPal. To claim payment for PayPal
you will need to provide your PayPal address as part of your member details.

Affiliate Commissions
By introducing new members to this site, all members
can earn 10% of the retail price off ALL titles sold on this site that are
purchased by the members they have introduced. As a member you are
automatically enlisted in our affiliate program. As an affiliate you may only
use the approved links (found in the affiliate section of the
Members and Publish and Sell sections of this site) to send shoppers to A1AdultEbooks. We
have a zero tolerance on SPAM and will delete the account of any member where
we are given evidence of SPAMMING activities including, but not restricted
to, sending unsolicited emails (UCE) to newsgroups or mailing lists.
Affiliates will not earn commissions from purchases made by themselves.
Participation in this affiliate program does not constitute a partnership,
joint venture, employment relationship or any other formal relationship, nor
are you allowed to state or imply that any such relationship exists. If you
are linking to us through your own website we reserve the right to ask you to
remove such a link if we consider your site to be inappropriate. Refusal to
meet any request we make will result in the termination of your membership of
this site. Payment terms are the same as for publishers/authors.

Refunds
Refunds for customer purchases will be allowed where either an ebook is
damaged on our server and we can not repair it and thus make it available to
the customer or the content of the ebook is
subtantially different to the content advertised through its blurb, genre
classifications and the supplied extract, bearing in mind that we allow only
three genres to be selected for a given title so other genres may also apply
that could not be selected by the publisher.
