For Buyers

How to buy an ebook

  1. Register / log in to your account
  2. Choose a book, click 🛒 Buy Now
  3. Pay via PayPal
  4. After successful payment, the book appears in My Library
  5. Click ⬇ Download PDF to download (max 5 times in 30 days)

What is a personal watermark?

Every PDF you purchase will have a watermark containing your name, email, and order code in the footer of every page. This allows us to trace any leaked files back to the original account. The watermark does not obstruct reading — you can still read, print for personal use, and save permanently to your device.

Refunds: when are they possible?

Refunds can be requested within 7 days of purchase, and only for technical reasons:

  • PDF file is broken / cannot be opened in a standard reader (Adobe Reader, Chrome, etc.)
  • Blank pages or corruption after download
  • Accidental purchase (double-click, etc.) — report within 24 hours

Refunds are not given because: you don't like the book's content, you already downloaded it, or other subjective reasons. Use the free preview before purchasing.

Download link not working / expired

Download links are valid for 30 days from purchase, with a maximum of 5 downloads. After that the link expires — contact us via email with your order code to reset it.

For Authors

How to register as an author

  1. Register a buyer account first at /register
  2. Go to /sell → click "Register as Author"
  3. Fill in: display name, bio, and bank account details
  4. Submit. Admin verifies within 1-2 business days

If your book is rejected

You will receive an email notification with the reason for rejection. You can edit the content/file and resubmit from Dashboard → My Books → Edit → "Resubmit".

When are royalties paid?

On the 5th of the following month, for all transactions that have passed the 7-day cooling period. Minimum threshold $5.00 — if below that, the balance carries over. Full details at the commission page.
