1. Inclusions:
When you purchase a cover, you will receive the following:
-an exclusive lifetime license to use your purchased cover for any and all purposes. RCS retains the copyright for the cover, but your purchase gives you unrestricted use in all digital formats and platforms, in perpetuity;
-an exclusive lifetime license to use your purchased cover for any and all purposes. RCS retains the copyright for the cover, but your purchase gives you unrestricted use in all digital formats and platforms, in perpetuity;
-two (1900 x 2700 px) cover files in JPG and WebP formats (or select other formats if you choose), suitable for DIGITAL (ebook) book covers only;
-if your individual cover files are over 5mb in size, you will receive additional, slightly smaller files for publishing on platforms that require them;
-up to 3 blocks of text or other elements, in addition to your book title and author name, displayed on the cover (these may include author descriptions or accolades, review quotes or author endorsements, series number/title, etc).
Please note: After you have submitted your book's details, your cover will be finalized and a proof version (watermarked) will be sent to you. You then have 90 days to approve the cover or receive a refund. Once you approve the final cover, all necessary files (without watermark) will be sent to you via email or a shared Dropbox link. Please do not upload the cover image anywhere until you have approved the final cover, as this will violate the terms of RCS's refund policy, and you will no longer be eligible for a refund.
2. Payment:
Currently, payment is via PayPal. I will send you a payment link in order for you to complete the transaction. Please note that if you wish to use a different currency, the price will be calculated using the exchange rate current at the time, plus a conversion fee. Please enquire beforehand to determine the final price before payment.
2. Disclaimers:
All titles, author names, etc are fictitious and used for demonstration purposes only. Any similarity to existing books is purely coincidental.
Some minor changes to font size and placement of text may be required to accommodate the length of your book's title/author name/series title, etc.
3. Use of AI:
As you may be required by your publishing platform to indicate whether any generative AI has been used to create your book's cover image, you should be aware of the following:
Generative AI is used in many RCS designs;
It is used to generate imagery only; principally, it is used to overcome the limitations imposed by the use of stock images;
AI-generated images are then extensively edited in Photoshop by the (human) designer, who also designs all typographical (text) elements without use of AI;
Stock images are also used for some cover designs (but you do not need to declare this to your publishing platform);
If you do not wish to have any AI-generated imagery used on your cover, there are many designers who indicate on their websites that they do not use AI tools.
