Terms & Conditions

Atticus LLC was designed to help authors create beautiful and professional books.  However, in order for this to be a great environment for both user and the company, we’ve created a set of end-user license agreements to help both sides have a solid framework to work together effectively and efficiently.  There is no hidden agenda and we respect our users and their work. 

So, please read these Terms and Conditions and End-User License Agreement  carefully before downloading or using any Atticus, LLC (“Atticus”) Service, product, material, or software.

By downloading or using any Atticus material, software, or Services (collectively the “Atticus System”), you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, do not download, and or use any component of the Atticus System. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Again, nothing nefarious – just good honest protection for both sides.

And with that, let’s begin:

1. Your Agreement with ATTICUS

1.1  Through the Atticus System, Atticus offers book creation services that are more fully described at the following link: https://atticus.io (the “Services”). This Agreement provides the rules under which you can use the Atticus System.  As between us, you own everything that you create on our site and nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere gives Atticus any rights in your work, therefore you are fully responsible for everything your work contains.  We own the Atticus System, including the interface, the various templates we have created, and similar items that we have created for you to use.  If you use those templates that still does not give us any rights in your underlying work.  Outside of very rare circumstances, such as when you might ask us for support on a particular item, Atticus will not review the work you are creating.  It is your responsibility to keep an up-to-date copy of your work at all times.  Atticus will endeavor to maintain your work and to keep a backup copy, however, Atticus has no responsibility if its systems fail and your work or any portion of it is lost.

1.2 This document sets forth your complete legal agreement with Atticus, its affiliates, agents, and employees regarding your use of the component parts of the Atticus System (collectively “Services”).  Any and all such use will be subject to these Terms and Conditions and End-User License (known as the “Agreement” or “Terms”).

1.3 Some components of the Atticus System may be subject to different or additional terms. Without any limitation, any different or additional terms for those Services are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

1.4 If it is found that there is a conflict or issue between this Agreement and the additional terms or different terms on other Atticus software or Services, then the additional or different terms will take precedence in relation to that Service or software. The terms of this Agreement and any applicable different terms or additional terms and all other documents incorporated by reference into this Agreement will be referred to collectively as the “Terms”.

1.5 Atticus may change this Agreement at any point and in any manner which it sees fit. If the Agreement is changed, Atticus will post a new version on its website. Your continued use of the Services and/or software is subject to the most recent and updated version of the Terms at all times; provided, however, that Atticus will not alter any provision so as to give it any rights in the work you submit to it.

1.6  Atticus may, through its site, offer you access to services provided by certain third-parties, such as independent editing services.  Atticus does not own or control these third parties and you assume all risk if you choose to deal with such individuals or entities.

1.7 Your business and relationship with Atticus shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Wyoming.
