Terms and conditions

These terms apply when you use this website or publish with [Legal name of the business], trading as Inventive International Publishers (“Inventive”, “we”), of [Registered address]. By submitting work, requesting a quote or paying us, you accept these terms. A signed publishing agreement, where there is one, takes priority over these terms.

Our services

We publish authored books under paid packages, chapters in edited volumes, papers in the International Journal of Legal Research and Development, and conference proceedings for institutions. What each package or fee includes is set out on the website at the time you order.

Quotes and prices

• All prices are in Indian rupees. We are not currently registered for GST, so no GST is charged and our receipts are not tax invoices.
• A quote is valid for 30 days. Page counts are estimates; if the final typeset book is longer than the package allows, extra pages are charged at the published rate, and we tell you before charging.
• Book packages can be paid in full or in two instalments: the first when you order, the second at final proof, before printing.
• Chapter and journal fees are charged only after acceptance.

Your work

• You confirm that the work is your own, has not been published before, is not under review elsewhere, and does not infringe anyone’s rights or the law.
• You keep the copyright. You grant us a licence to publish, reproduce and distribute the work in print and electronic form, and to register it for ISBNs and DOIs, for the term set out in your agreement.
• You must disclose any use of artificial intelligence tools in preparing the work. Text generated by such tools must not be presented as your own analysis.
• We check every submission for similarity and may decline or withdraw work that fails our publication ethics policy.

Review and decisions

Editorial decisions are made on the merit of the work. Payment, or willingness to pay, never decides whether a chapter or paper is accepted.

Timelines

Package timelines run from the day we receive your final manuscript and all the inputs we ask for. Delays in your replies, approvals or payments move the timeline by the same amount.

Royalties

Royalties are paid on net receipts from sales, at the percentage of your package, with a statement every quarter after launch.

Cancellations and refunds

See our refunds and cancellations policy.

Website use

Do not misuse the website, upload harmful files or attempt to access parts of it that are not meant for you. The design, text and logo of this website belong to Inventive.

Liability

We take care in all our work, but we are not liable for indirect losses, and our total liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts at [City] have exclusive jurisdiction.
