Terms of Service

By accessing, browsing, or using the website and services provided by ISBN Publishing (isbnpublishing.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to all provisions of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue your use of our website and services.

ISBN Publishing provides an integrated platform for independent authors and publishers to:

• ISBN Assignment: Allocate official 13-digit International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) with automated bibliographic submission to global databases such as Bowker Books in Print®.
• Book-Centric Management: Organize book listings, format breakdowns (Paperback, Hardcover, eBook, Audiobook), and publishing milestones under dedicated author dashboards.
• Global Distribution: Coordinate distribution channels across 40,000+ retailers, libraries, and online marketplaces (including Amazon, Ingram, and Barnes & Noble).
• Professional Publishing Services: Coordinate cover design, manuscript interior formatting, editorial reviews, and marketing campaign orders.

Under the Book-First Model of ISBN Publishing, authors must create a private book listing before assigning ISBNs:

• Author Responsibility: Authors are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of submitted metadata (Title, Subtitle, Author Name, Publisher Imprint, Edition, Language, and Format).
• International Registry Immutability: In accordance with international ISBN agency regulations, once an ISBN is assigned and submitted to international bibliographic catalogs (such as Bowker), core identifier details cannot be reallocated or transferred to a completely different title or author.
• Format Specificity: Each published edition format (Paperback, Hardcover, eBook, Audiobook) requires a distinct 13-digit ISBN. Reusing an assigned eBook ISBN for a physical paperback is strictly prohibited by international ISBN agency standards.

ISBN Publishing assigns and registers official 13-digit ISBN codes. In accordance with standard platform policy:

• Google Ads Conversion Tracking: We use Google Ads conversion tracking tags to measure advertising effectiveness, user navigation paths, and campaign conversions.
• Opt-Out Rights: You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or use Google Ad Settings to manage personalized advertising preferences.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree not to:

ISBN Publishing provides its platform and services on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we guarantee the assignment of legitimate, internationally registered 13-digit ISBNs, we do not guarantee specific book sales numbers, commercial success, or third-party retailer listing acceptance beyond standard industry catalog indexing.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ISBN Publishing shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use our platform.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that engage in fraudulent publishing activities or violate international ISBN agency policies.
