These Website Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern access to and use of lcmpp.com and certain products, information, and services offered by LCM Production & Publishing LLC (“LCM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Use of the website is subject to these Terms and to any additional agreement or policy applicable to a particular transaction or service.
LCM SERVICES
LCM provides products and professional services that may include publishing, graphic design, desktop publishing, creative production, photography, notarial services, merchandise, and other offerings identified on the website.
Information appearing on the website does not, by itself, create a professional-services engagement or require LCM to accept a particular project.
Certain services require a separate proposal, publishing agreement, service agreement, statement of work, authorization, release, waiver, or other written document.
SERVICE-SPECIFIC AGREEMENTS CONTROL
If a signed service-specific agreement conflicts with these general Website Terms concerning the applicable service, the service-specific agreement controls to the extent of that conflict unless that agreement expressly states otherwise.
ORDERS AND PURCHASES
Product descriptions, prices, availability, and options may change.
LCM may correct genuine pricing, description, availability, or technical errors and may decline or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, subject to applicable law and any required refund obligation.
Purchases from LCM are also subject to the applicable Return, Refund & Cancellation Policy and Shipping & Fulfillment Policy.
CHECKOUT AND PAYMENT SERVICES
LCM may use Shopify and other independent commerce or payment providers to process transactions.
Use of those services may also be subject to the provider's applicable terms, privacy practices, fraud-prevention measures, and processing requirements.
THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS
LCM may use independent service providers in connection with its products and services, including printers, manufacturers, print-on-demand providers, fulfillment providers, shipping carriers, retailers, publishing platforms, book distributors, metadata or identifier providers, communication providers, cloud or technology providers, and professional advisers.
LCM does not control the independent operations, continued availability, policies, or decisions of third-party providers.
Nothing in this section eliminates an obligation that applicable law places directly on LCM.
WEBSITE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Unless otherwise identified, LCM owns or licenses the branding, original website content, graphics, text, design elements, and other protected material appearing on lcmpp.com.
Such material may not be reproduced, distributed, sold, or commercially exploited without authorization or another lawful basis.
CLIENT-SPECIFIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Ownership and permitted use of client-specific publishing, design, photography, creative, or other work are determined by the applicable agreement, license, release, copyright transfer, or other written instrument.
These general Website Terms do not automatically transfer a client's copyright or ownership interest to LCM.
MATERIALS SUBMITTED TO LCM
By providing manuscripts, photographs, artwork, logos, text, documents, files, or other materials to LCM, you represent that you possess the rights, permissions, licenses, or authority reasonably necessary to provide those materials for the requested purpose.
Submission of material alone does not transfer ownership to LCM unless a separate written agreement expressly provides otherwise.
PUBLISHING AND DISTRIBUTION
Publishing services may involve independent printers, retailers, distributors, publishing platforms, metadata providers, identifier agencies, fulfillment companies, and other third parties.
Availability through a distribution channel does not guarantee retail placement, physical stocking, promotion, sales volume, search ranking, profitability, continued platform availability, or any particular commercial result.
Title-specific matters such as publishing rights, distribution rights, ISBN responsibility, royalties or publisher compensation, retailer returns, metadata administration, and termination are governed by the applicable publishing agreement or project documentation.
NOTARIAL SERVICES
Information concerning notarial services is provided for general information and scheduling purposes and is not legal advice.
A notary does not select a notarial act for a signer or provide legal advice.
Eligibility for a requested notarization may depend upon the document, requested notarial act, signer, identification, physical location, applicable law, technology, platform requirements, and other relevant circumstances.
Submitting a Notary inquiry does not guarantee that a requested document or transaction is eligible for notarization.
NO GUARANTEE OF COMMERCIAL RESULTS
LCM will perform accepted work according to the applicable agreement and scope of work.
LCM does not guarantee sales, audience response, rankings, retailer acceptance, publication performance, profitability, business results, or other outcomes dependent upon customers, audiences, third-party providers, market conditions, algorithms, retailer decisions, or circumstances outside LCM's reasonable control.
Any specific deliverable or performance commitment undertaken by LCM will be identified in the applicable written agreement or scope of work.
ACCEPTABLE USE
You may not use the website or LCM systems to:
- attempt unauthorized access to accounts, private files, systems, or administrative areas;
- interfere with normal website operation;
- transmit malicious software or harmful code;
- impersonate another person or misrepresent authority;
- violate intellectual-property or privacy rights;
- submit unlawful material; or
- use LCM systems for unlawful or fraudulent purposes.
PRIVACY
LCM's collection and handling of personal information are described in the Privacy Policy.
ACCESSIBILITY
LCM is committed to improving access to its website and services for individuals with disabilities. Additional information is available in the Accessibility Statement.
CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
LCM may update these Website Terms prospectively as operations, services, technology, or requirements change.
The “Last Updated” date identifies the current public version.
Updating these general Website Terms does not, by itself, amend an existing signed service agreement unless that agreement provides a lawful method for amendment.
