Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Publishedly, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the platform.

These terms apply to all visitors, registered users, customers, and anyone accessing our services.

2. About Publishedly

Publishedly is a media marketplace that helps users discover publications, explore media opportunities, compare listed pricing, and request or purchase publication placements.

Publishedly facilitates access to listed opportunities. The final decision to accept, edit, publish, or reject submitted content rests with the relevant publication and is subject to its policies and editorial standards.

3. User Responsibilities

When using Publishedly, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information when placing an order or making an enquiry.
• Submit content that you have the legal right to use and distribute.
• Ensure submitted material does not violate applicable laws or third-party rights.
• Not upload misleading, defamatory, fraudulent, unlawful, or infringing content.
• Not misuse, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the platform.

4. Orders and Payments

Prices, package details, and placement requirements are displayed on the platform where available. Before completing a purchase, users should review the relevant listing and any applicable conditions.

Orders may require additional information, content, documents, or approvals before they can be processed. An order is subject to the confirmation and processing conditions communicated at the time of purchase.

Payment processing may be handled by third-party payment providers and is also subject to their terms and policies.

5. Publication and Editorial Approval

Purchasing a placement does not automatically guarantee publication. Each publication may apply its own editorial review, content guidelines, eligibility criteria, and approval process.

Publications may request revisions, delay publication, or reject content that does not meet their requirements. Publishedly cannot override an independent publication's editorial decision.

Estimated timelines, where provided, are indicative and may change due to editorial or operational factors.

6. Pricing and Listing Information

We aim to keep publication details, pricing, and availability information accurate and up to date. However, listings may change without prior notice.

Publication pricing, availability, specifications, and requirements may be updated by the relevant provider. We reserve the right to correct errors or update listing information.

7. Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellations, refunds, and order changes are governed by the applicable Refund Policy and the specific conditions communicated for the relevant service or placement.

Please review the Refund Policy before making a purchase. Where an order has already entered processing or has been submitted to a publication, additional restrictions may apply.

8. Intellectual Property

The Publishedly website, platform design, branding, text, graphics, and other original materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You retain ownership of content you submit, subject to the permissions necessary to process your order and facilitate the requested publication. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to submit that content.

9. Third-Party Services and Publications

Publishedly may connect users with independent publications, publishers, payment providers, and other third-party services. These parties operate independently and may have their own terms, conditions, and privacy policies.

Publishedly is not responsible for third-party websites, policies, editorial decisions, or services beyond the obligations expressly agreed to by us.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Publishedly shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from the use of the platform or third-party publication services.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

11. Suspension or Termination

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access to Publishedly where we reasonably believe a user has violated these terms, misused the platform, or engaged in unlawful activity.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of Publishedly after changes are published indicates acceptance of the revised terms, to the extent permitted by law.

13. Governing Law

These terms are subject to applicable laws. The governing law and jurisdiction for disputes should be specified in the final version of these terms based on the legal entity operating Publishedly and its applicable business arrangements.
