Terms of Service
Last updated October 11, 2026
These terms apply when you use mariauxmedia.com or hire Mariaux Media for book marketing services. By booking or paying for a service, you agree to them.
Our services
We provide marketing services for published authors, including strategy sessions, launch campaigns, advertising management, review outreach, social media and author websites. The exact scope, deliverables and timeline of each engagement are confirmed in writing (a proposal, an email or an invoice) before work begins. If that written scope and these terms differ, the written scope applies.
Your responsibilities
- Give us accurate information and the materials we need, such as cover files, book descriptions, review copies and account access, in good time.
- Confirm that you own or have permission to use everything you give us, and that your book and materials do not break any law or anyone else's rights.
- Pay advertising budgets directly to the platforms (for example Amazon, BookBub or Meta). Ad spend is never included in our fees.
- Follow the rules of any retailer or platform you sell through.
Fees and payment
Prices are shown on our website or in your proposal, in US dollars. Single services and packages are paid before work starts unless we agree otherwise in writing. The Ongoing plan is billed monthly in advance, with a three-month minimum. Late payments may pause the work until the account is up to date. Refunds are covered in our Refund Policy.
Results
Book sales depend on many things outside our control, including the book itself, pricing, retailer algorithms, platform rules and reader taste. We will do the agreed work with care and report honestly on the results, but we do not guarantee sales, rankings, reviews, bestseller status or any other specific outcome.
Ownership
You keep all rights to your book and the materials you give us. Once you have paid in full, you own the final deliverables we create specifically for you, such as ad copy, graphics and launch plans. We keep ownership of our own methods, templates and know-how, and we may describe the work we did for you in our portfolio unless you ask us not to.
Confidentiality
We keep your unpublished work, sales figures and account details confidential, and use them only to provide the services.
Cancelling
Either of us can end an engagement by written notice. What happens to fees already paid is set out in our Refund Policy. On the Ongoing plan, you can cancel with 30 days' notice after the three-month minimum.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Mariaux Media is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost sales or lost profits, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us for the service concerned in the three months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes and governing law
We may update these terms from time to time; the version in place when you book applies to that engagement. Mariaux Media is based in Sheridan, Wyoming. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, and any dispute will be handled by the courts of Sheridan County, Wyoming. Questions can be sent to hello@mariauxmedia.com.
