These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website www.ph-10.shop (“the Site” or “Our Platform”), operated by Publishing House №10 (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site or contracting any of our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Description of Services

We operate as a Publisher and Promotion Platform specializing in Russian literature in translation. Our core services include:

• Listing Services: Permanent placement of book cards in our online store/catalogue.

• Promotional Services: Creation and placement of original content, including reviews, interviews, thematic roundups, listicles, and chapter excerpts, for a fee (collectively, “Promotional Services”).

• Publishing Services: Consideration and potential publication of manuscripts under our own imprint.

The Site functions as a catalog, providing links to third-party retailers (e.g., Amazon) for purchasing books. We do not process retail book sales or ship physical products.

2. Financial Terms and Payments for Services

2.1. Pricing and Payment

• Prices for all Listing and Promotional Services are explicitly stated on the Site (e.g., €50 for Permanent Listing, €150 for Review Placement).

• All payments for services are one-time, non-refundable fees, unless explicitly stated otherwise in these Terms.

• We reserve the right to change prices at any time, but price changes will not affect services already paid for.

2.2. Refunds and Cancellations

• Refunds for Services: Fees for Promotional Services are generally non-refundable once the work has commenced (e.g., once writing has started or the book card has been placed).

• Review Writing: If we decline to write a review because the book “genuinely does not resonate with us,” we will not charge you the fee for the review. If the fee was pre-paid, a full refund will be issued specifically for that service.

• Removal Due to Client Breach: If your content (card, review, article) is removed as a result of your breach of these Terms (e.g., due to copyright infringement, providing illegal or defamatory material), the placement fee will not be refunded.

• Service Completion: Our service is considered complete upon the publication of the agreed-upon article, card, or content on the Site.

2.3. Lifetime Guarantee on Links

We provide a Lifetime Guarantee on the external purchase links placed on your book card. If your external retailer link changes, you must notify us in writing, and we will update the link free of charge. This guarantee is valid for the lifetime of the book card on Our Platform.
