| SUBMITTING AN E-BOOK |
E-Books must go through
our editing process, which is roughly 3-6 weeks and
does not guarantee that we put your book up on the site for sale. You
must own the rights to what we are going to put up. It is suggested that
before you even place your book in our editing process that you either go to
the copyright office and fill out their forms to copyright your book to you,
and / or you print your book in its final form go to purolator or federal
express and mail it to yourself and leave the copy sealed and in a fireproof
safe. This ensures that you can have a judge open the document in court and
prove your case. Please use your real name because we have to not only check
your book, but check for copyrighted material on the net. You must be the copyright holder
of your book because we cannot and will not publish your book otherwise. We reserve the right to take your book off of our order
forms and modify the time it takes to do the editing process at any time. A
newsletter will come soon that will keep you advised of our updates,
including but not limited to our policies and all of our agreement forms.

We charge the same price
for all of our E-books, which is
$11.50 C.D. (Canadian Dollars). The breakdown
of what this means for buyers and those who have their books with us is the
following; $5.71 C.D. goes to the author (~60%
of cover less the tax)
and copyright holder of the book (Author and Copyright holder are considered
to be the same individual, if it is not then we don't publish the E-book),
$1.43 C.D. goes to the editor (~15% of cover less the
tax) (sometimes the
editor can be the same as the author, but for now the only case for that is
when our editor writes something), $2.38 C.D. goes to
IS5000 Publications and Technological Services Inc. Canada (~25% of cover
less the tax) (this is
lower than any other company that gets your books sold for you online, you
don't make a sale the corporation does not make any money, the
administration fee of $29.25 C.D. is just that,
it covers administration fees only, not the sale of the item and
includes $3.25 C.D. in taxes and $1.00 C.D. goes to
bank operating costs). Lastly, it is
required by law that the Government (Provincial
and Federal in Canada) gets their tax money, thus they
get $0.48 C.D. per book (Taxes based on head office location in
Ontario). The reason taxes are included in all of our prices is to alleviate
the stress of grabbing it out of the breakdown of the prices we have set.
Prices are subject to change, if taxes change or if operating costs change.
The last $1.50 C.D. per book goes to bank operating
costs. |

| Rights |
Unless otherwise noted
on this website, either IS5000 Publications and Technological Services
Canada Inc. or George Arnold Hall own all of the rights to the materials
presented. In the case of a trademark or company name quoted in our
articles, news feeds, RSS feeds, e-books, e.t.c. the respective company owns
the rights to their name or persons involved and you must contact them and
not myself for what that entails. If said companies are mentioned the
copyright that is5000 has is only the way that the material was presented.
(e.g. travel e-books, restaurant reviews e-books). The e-books on our site
are copyright to the respective authors of the works and not is5000, unless
is5000 was the specific creator of the document (this would be a rare case
as the owner of is5000 is an author and his work is normally copyright to
himself, one such case that is5000 would have the rights is documentation
made specifically for is5000 and even in that case the author still gets the
regular royalties as stated above.). |

Regulations |
The use of this site
requires that there be no harassment of any kind. Harassment is anything
that will take away or infringe on someone else's enjoyment of this site and
is considered unprofessional conduct and against is5000's rules of conduct.
There will be no swearing, no vulgarity, no abusive language on this site or
anywhere near this site. The forums are for discussions not arguments in
that they should not involve shouting (Just a note: There are no forums at
this time). Debating is aloud but not arguing.
Is5000 retains the right to change these policies at any time for any reason
without warning, except is5000 will warn or update those that have chosen to
be on its news update list, but if you are not on the list you will not get a
warning. All of our e-books follow these rules in that they do not use
abusive language to prove a point. All e-books are subject to scrutiny, but
will not destroy creativity. If your e-book is too offensive we will just
not publish it. Unlike some other publishers, we will make sure we let you
know why we will not publish your e-book. |

| Return
Policy |
Since we mainly produce
e-books for clients, we have a no return policy. Be careful in processing
your data and have everything, absolutely everything, ready before you start
the process as we charge your credit card before you fill out our forms. By
all means do not start another process if you run into trouble filling out
the form as we will not refund you for the second credit card process.
Contact our sales team before you run into problems and you will be a
satisfied customer. If you did not use a credit card at the beginning and
state that you were charged, we will know as it updates in our system along
the entire process, make sure that you copy your reference number down as we
cannot even start to help you and need that number to find your record. We
could just go by the time, but if our system was really busy at that time,
we would not know which one you were without that number. E-books have a no
return policy once downloaded, if you have trouble downloading the file send
an email to
our sales team with your reference number and we will see what
we can do to help. Our system tells us whether it was downloaded or not, but
make sure that you use the same computer that you logged into us from as
your email will show us if you are actually the same person that ordered the
book. There is nothing we can do if our system says that you downloaded the
file, unless your file got corrupted in the download. A downloaded e-book is
assumed to be read and read books don't get returned. |

not be reproduced, kept in storage (other than the one copy of the e-book
that you purchased), printed, digitally republished, changed, quoted,
paraphrased, or even reproduced in another language without express written
consent of IS5000 Publications and Technological Services Inc. Canada and or
