Changes to Terms of Service and Author Contract
by Jason on 08/08/2008
A helpful soul on the NaNoWriMo website pointed out that we had some language in our Terms of Service document that conflicted with what it says in our Author Contract. The change relates to intellectual property and who owns the copyright to a work, so it's fairly important, and hence this notice. Our thanks to BenPanced for pointing out the problem.
In short, the language in both documents has been clarified to mean that if we publish one of your books, the copyright will be registered in your name and we will license the rights to the work. In long, as it were, you can read the revised documents in our About section. The relevant parts are paragraph 1 in the "Intellectual Property" section of our Terms of Service document, and paragraph 5 of the Author contract.
