Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Trap Door Press. By purchasing publications from us, submitting projects, or using our website and services, you agree to the following terms and conditions. We keep things fair, flexible, and straight-up, but we also need to protect our business and the creators we work with.

1. Orders & Payment

All publication orders must be confirmed via our website checkout or official ordering process.

Full payment is required at the time of purchase unless a separate written agreement is made for wholesale, distribution, or project collaborations.

Payment methods accepted include credit card, PayPal, and bank transfer where available.


2. Release & Fulfilment Timeframes

Orders are generally dispatched within a few business days of purchase, depending on stock availability.

Pre-orders or upcoming releases will ship once stock becomes available, with estimated release dates communicated on product pages.

Delays caused by printers, freight providers, or suppliers are sometimes outside our control, but we’ll always keep customers informed.


3. Submissions & Project Materials

You are welcome to submit manuscripts, photography, or project concepts for consideration.

While we handle all materials with care, Trap Door Press is not liable for loss or damage of submitted materials unless a formal agreement is in place.

You are responsible for ensuring submitted content is suitable for publication and legally cleared for use.


4. Artwork, Content & Rights

You are responsible for ensuring you own or have permission to use any content, images, or materials submitted to Trap Door Press.

By submitting material, you confirm you hold the rights required for publication.

We reserve the right to decline material we believe infringes rights or is inappropriate for publication.


5. Proofing & Approvals

Digital proofs or layouts may be provided before publication or printing.

It is your responsibility to carefully review and approve proofs. Once approved, changes may not be possible without delays or additional production costs.


6. Returns & Refunds

We do not offer refunds for change of mind.

If an item arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us within 7 days with photos so we can arrange replacement, credit, or refund where appropriate.

Any shipping damage should be reported as soon as possible after delivery.


7. Intellectual Property

All content provided by contributors remains the property of its creators unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Trap Door Press branding, website content, and publications remain the intellectual property of Trap Door Press and may not be reproduced without permission.


8. Pricing & Availability

Prices are subject to change without notice.

Limited-run publications may sell out and not be reprinted.

Wholesale or collaboration pricing may vary depending on project scope and production requirements.
