I am uploading files for layout according to the Design Studio Layouts that I have selected. I understand that files will be prepared using the final content (the ‘work’) that I am uploading as is; there will be no review or editing by TRIMATRIX. I also understand that selections are subject to fit with the content I supplied, so layout may be adjusted in regard to paragraph formatting, and exact fonts are subject to availability so substitutions may be made. The files I upload will be used to create print book files on press and I will see one electronic, low resolution proof. If there are any adjustments required, there will be an additional cost to make these.
I also, as the author, creator and publisher of this book:
