This page is designed for Self-Publishers with a single Book or Document to publish and sell. Publishers with multiple documents can select multiple subscriptions from the options below, or opt for one of our standard multi-document subscription services or our one-time bundle options. We provide free hosting for your secure files. Each option level is described in outline below, but please contact us for more details if you are uncertain as to which option is most appropriate for your requirements or if you require a fully 'managed service' including e-commerce support.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Subscription service include: provision of authorization codes for secure documents; code re-setting; technical support and advice service. When calculating the number of codes you require, estimate this as the number of documents times the number of separate users for each document. Multiple use codes (e.g. 2x, 3x usage) can be counted as a single code if for a specific individual, otherwise should be counted as multiple codes (e.g. where codes can be set to 30x usage etc. and/or reset). Where a customer opts to cancel a subscription service their allocation of "paid for" codes at that point will be computed and any additional codes issued or generated at that point in time will be reset to zero (i.e. will no longer be available for use). Where subscriptions are renewed on an annual basis at the same service level, any unused quota of codes or licenses are carried forward into the quota for the following period. Please also see the About page for more details and terms and conditions of usage. Non-renewal of subscription services will result in service management facilities and code generation being disabled (please see the bundle pack options for multi-year service arrangements without subscriptions). These options do not include development resources (other than initial 'getting started' help) so if additional assistance is required to establish your e-store facility then you may need to order some consultancy resource, based on the information we will provide by individual quotation. Customers who prefer payment via standard Card payment or by Bank Transfer rather than PayPal should contact us for details of how to arrange this.
