Type of a scam Online Purchase
The vanity publisher, acts as a digital aggregator, which had made an adequately reputable company, still hosts podcasts for first-time authors on social media including Facebook, YouTube and occasionally checks their Twitter feeds. All the company's policies which include their overall,Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Audiobook Terms of Services and how the company shares user data, but also how they do or don't keep ownership of the author's Intellectual Property or Personally Identifiable Information during the account contract or upon termination.
Before distributing to different digital, print and audiobook outlets, D2D requires a provisional, electronically signed agreement, so the user understands their role as an aggregation company and commission of 15% of each sale. A hidden condition is also required to be agreed upon, which sounds lawfully adequate, but is a determination factor of whether D2D approves distribution for the author: a tax identification review.
This review of the company's claims is necessary to approve just digital distribution to Amazon LLC and its services. However, after 2-3 days of the website pending a review on the website, it was ultimately determined by D2D that my account was terminated without notice; after calling their support number and speaking to a representative, they informed me about this, but encouraged me to e-mail them for further information.
It was peculiar to me as an author, because I had signed and properly verified that all works I'd created myself, with proper attributional credits to any additional segments within the book. There were appropriate age-restricted warnings, also, which should not have been the issue.
By the time I'd allowed the verification reviews, was ended from distributing any books with D2D, my books were already set to be listed and all IP rights, according to the terms of service were never released back to me. I voluntarily delisted all book titles immediately, in order to avoid potential outlets from potential rejections in the future, but D2D still holds my account as ended, which may not prevent further distribution bans.
Draft 2 Digital was not upfront, despite their Terms of Services and agreements, regarding the conditions of what or why they ended the release of my property and records to different outlets; it became suspicious about the condition where I'd been ended from all outlets and sudden closures, when the tax verification was only regarding royalty payouts and according to their own terms, only applicable towards an approval or rejection regarding one retailer.
It is also unclear whether they will release the property rights, and/or because I'd voluntarily delisted the titles upon termination of my account, whether it will make the book title invalid, since they learned of the ISBNs and information during pre-orders, which hadn't been scheduled until 2024, immediately after reviewing the tax status before refusing service.
Please look into this entity's business practices and whether this is a financial pattern, disguised as a book submission criteria scheme. They are not ScamPulse.com Accredited, and the website is outdated in some areas.
