Book Listing Terms and Conditions

Please read this information before making a payment and listing your book with us. Thank you!

By signing up to this service and making a payment, you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions:

Your Listing

  1. Your book/s will be listed on our bookshop page and linked to the site where your book is for sale. All commissions/royalties (and rights) from the sale of your books, stay with you. However, if you have your book listed on a site that we are affiliated with (e.g. Amazon), we will use an affiliate link, which means we earn a very small commission (at no extra cost to you or your customers).
  2. All new book listings are added to the top of the page, so your book will appear first on the list for a period of time.
  3. In addition to the listing on our book shop page, your book will appear in the next release of our blog newsletter as one of the ‘latest book listings’, giving you increased exposure.
  4. Next to your book will be the description (supplied by you in the form you are required to fill out after making payment.) If no description is provided, one will not appear next to your book.
  5. Please do not forget to fill-in the form on the ‘List your book in our shop’ page, so that we know which book is attached to your payment. If we do not receive a form from you, we will attempt to contact you using the email address attached to your paypal account. If the email address you use for PayPal is different from the one you enter in the contact form, please mention this in the description panel, in brackets, e.g. (PayPay email is xxxx@xxxxx.com).
  6. Once you have made a payment and submitted the form, it can take anywhere from 3-10 days to process and publish your book on the site. Once your payment clears and we have received your form, we will send you an email requesting a book pic. You will either need to supply us with a book cover pic, or give us written permission to use the cover pic on the site where your book is for sale.
  7. If you have not received an email from us after 10 days, confirming your book has been listed on the site, please contact us at mumlifestories@gmail.com and we will get straight onto it.

Payment

  1. When you choose to list your book with us, your book will stay listed on our site for 12 months. You will receive a reminder email when your listing is due for renewel, with instructions on how to renew if you should choose to do so. You can also request to remove your book from our list at any time by emailling us at mumlifestories@gmail.com. Any removals after the first 3 days will not receive a refund.
  2. At the moment we can only accept PayPal payments but we are working on bringing credit card payments to you soon. You will need to use your existing PayPal account or create a new account to make payment.
  3. All payments are to be made in AUD, please check the currency exchange rate for your country before making a payment as we –Joanne Caddy, Mum Life Stories or anyone associated with www.mumlifestories.com – do not accept responsibility for any misunderstanding over the price.
  4. The payment amounts listed on the ‘List your book in our shop’ page, are not inclusive of any taxes that your country may charge for the transaction.
  5. If you change your mind about your listing, we can refund your payment, but a request must be made by email to mumlifestories@gmail.com within the first 3 days after you have made the payment. Once your book is listed, you can request to have it removed at any time but we will not be able to give a refund.
