Cancellation and Refund Policy

Self Publishing LLC is committed to delivering exceptional service to every author. However, due to the nature of publishing, editorial, and digital services, certain limitations apply to cancellations and refund claims. Please carefully review our policy below.


Refund Policy – Not Applicable If:

  • You have selected a custom or discounted package.

  • The primary publishing or design concept has been approved by you.

  • Revisions have been requested or delivered.

  • The cancellation is due to reasons not related to Self Publishing LLC’s performance or quality.

  • There has been no communication from your end for over 14 consecutive days.

  • You have violated company policy, service agreements, or terms of service.

  • You have hired another publishing company or freelance service provider for the same project.

  • The submitted creative brief lacks essential information required to initiate or complete the project.

  • You have demanded a complete change in concept after project development has begun.

  • The refund request exceeds the 7-day timeframe from the original purchase date.

  • You are closing your business, changing your brand name, or pivoting your project scope.

  • You cite reasons such as “change of mind,” “personal disagreements,” or “found a cheaper option”, which are not valid grounds for a refund.

  • You purchased a service bundle and are dissatisfied with one component — refunds will apply only to the specific unsatisfactory service.

  • 7 days have passed since the date of your purchase.

  • Services like book marketing, SEO, domain registration, ISBN purchase, or hosting are strictly non-refundable.

  • For book design and formatting, refunds are not applicable once design has been approved and production initiated.
