The Publisher agrees that the works covered by this Book Publishing Agreement may be published within one year of delivery of the original manuscript. Authors and publishers usually have a publishing agreement (sometimes called an author`s or license agreement) when a work is published.

If the third party revises, limit the chargeback of costs (fees to the auditor) to 25-50% of the royalties due to the author for the first revision and 50-75% for the second revision (no payment to the auditor should be deducted from the funds owed by the author under other agreements).

Upon termination of this Agreement, Publisher will return to author all goods originally provided by Author, and the Book will be placed in Publisher`s ISBN database as « out of print ». .
