These terms apply to everything you buy from Rocking Book Covers. I am a freelance book cover designer based in Lithuania, and I run this shop myself. By placing an order, you agree to these terms.
1. Premade covers
- Each premade cover is sold only once. After it is bought, it is removed from my shop and will not be sold again.
- The cover shown in the shop is an example. I customise it with your title, subtitle, author name and series details.
- Small changes to the colour scheme or fonts are included free. Bigger changes, such as new images or a different layout, may cost extra. I will always tell you the price before doing any paid work.
2. Ordering and payment
- All prices are in US dollars (USD).
- You can pay at checkout, or email me your book details first and I will send you a preview and a PayPal invoice.
- I start working on your cover after payment is received.
3. Delivery
- The ebook cover is delivered at 1800 x 2700 px (6 x 9 ratio), 300 dpi, in JPEG or PNG format.
- I usually deliver within 24 to 48 hours after receiving your book details. Busy periods can take a little longer, and I will let you know if they do.
- A print cover (full wrap with spine and back cover) costs an additional $50. To make it, I need the trim size and page count, or the cover template from your printer (for example, Amazon KDP or IngramSpark).
- Files are sent by email. Please keep your own copies; I recommend saving them as soon as you receive them.
4. Your responsibilities
- Please send me the correct title, author name and other text. Check the spelling carefully in the preview before you approve it.
- I am not responsible for errors in text that you supplied or approved.
- You are responsible for making sure your book’s title and content do not infringe anyone else’s rights.
5. Your licence to use the cover
Once you have paid in full, you get an exclusive licence to use the cover. No one else will ever get the same cover from me.
You may:
- use the cover for your book in all its editions and formats (ebook, print and audiobook);
- use the cover to market and promote your book, for example in ads, on social media, on your website and in newsletters;
- move the cover to a different book later. If you want to do this, contact me and I will update the cover with the new title and details for you.
You may not:
- resell the cover design or its files;
- share or give the cover or its files to anyone else to use;
- use the artwork on merchandise for sale (such as T-shirts, mugs or prints) without my written permission.
I keep the copyright of the cover design. I may show the finished cover in my portfolio and marketing. If you would prefer that I don’t, please tell me.
6. Stock images and fonts
My covers use stock photos, illustrations and fonts licensed for commercial use. The finished cover design is unique, but the individual stock images in it are not exclusive to me and may appear in other designers’ work.
7. Custom covers
Prices and packages for custom cover designs are listed on my Custom Book Covers page. The details of your project, such as the timeline, are agreed with you before work begins.
8. Refunds
Refunds are covered by my Refund Policy.
9. Liability
I do my best to deliver every cover on time and to a high standard. To the extent allowed by law, my total liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing in these terms limits your rights as a consumer under the law of your country.
10. Changes to these terms
I may update these terms from time to time. The version shown on this page when you place your order is the one that applies to it.
11. Contact
If you have any questions about these terms or your order, please contact me.
