Unless otherwise indicated, publications released under Kerrsplat Publishing are protected by applicable United States and international copyright laws.
Copyright ownership remains with the identified author, photographer, artist, or other rights holder. Kerrsplat Publishing operates as an imprint of Integrated Desktop Solutions, Inc. and does not constitute a separate legal entity.
The purchase or acquisition of a publication, whether physical or digital, does not transfer copyright ownership or intellectual property rights to the purchaser.
General Rights and Restrictions
All rights are reserved unless expressly stated otherwise.
No publication, or any substantial portion thereof, may be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, modified, republished, or otherwise exploited without appropriate authorization, except as permitted by applicable law.
Any permissions granted through the purchase of a publication are limited to those expressly stated in the applicable license or accompanying publication notices.
Physical Publications
Purchasers of legitimately acquired physical publications may read, display, retain, gift, or resell their individual copies, subject to applicable law.
Ownership of a physical publication does not grant permission to reproduce, scan, digitize, redistribute, or commercially exploit its contents, except where permitted by law or authorized by the rights holder.
Physical publications may contain additional edition-specific rights notices.

Read and view the publication on multiple personally owned or controlled devices.
Create reasonable backup copies for personal preservation.
Retain and access the publication indefinitely, subject to compliance with the applicable license and any limitations imposed by law.

Resold, redistributed, shared, transferred, or sublicensed to another person.
Uploaded to public websites, file-sharing services, or other distribution platforms.

Permissions may be granted for specific educational, institutional, editorial, or commercial purposes at the discretion of the applicable rights holder.
Refunds and Digital Purchases
Due to the nature of downloadable digital publications, digital purchases are generally considered nonreturnable once the purchased files have been delivered or made available for download.
Refunds, replacements, or other remedies may be provided where required by applicable law, where a publication is defective or materially misrepresented, or at the discretion of the seller.
Purchases completed through third-party marketplaces or distribution platforms may also be subject to the applicable platform's refund and purchase policies.

License Duration and Termination
A digital publication license is intended to remain valid indefinitely for the original purchaser, provided the purchaser complies with its terms.

Termination does not affect rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Notice of Liability
Kerrsplat Publishing makes reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy, quality, and completeness of its publications.
However, publications may contain errors, omissions, historical interpretations, personal opinions, or information that changes over time.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, publications are provided without guarantees concerning the accuracy, completeness, currency, or suitability of their contents for any particular purpose.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Bill McNamee and Integrated Desktop Solutions, Inc. disclaim liability for losses or damages arising from reliance upon or use of publication contents.
Nothing in this notice excludes liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.
Works of Fiction
Certain Kerrsplat Publishing publications may contain fictional narratives, characters, dialogue, organizations, and events.
Unless otherwise indicated, fictional works are products of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or deceased, or actual events is coincidental.
Fictional works may incorporate real geographic locations, historical settings, or historical events for literary purposes. Such inclusion does not necessarily imply that the fictional narrative represents a factual account.
Individual publications may contain additional fiction disclaimers where appropriate.
Quotations and Third-Party Materials
Kerrsplat Publishing recognizes that creative and scholarly works often draw upon the ideas, observations, and expressions of others. The thoughtful use of quotations, accompanied by appropriate attribution, is intended to acknowledge their original creators and contributions.
Kerrsplat Publishing may incorporate quotations, historical statements, and other third-party materials into its publications for literary, artistic, educational, or contextual purposes.
Reasonable efforts are made to verify the authenticity, accuracy, and original sources of quotations and to provide proper attribution to the individuals or works from which they originate.
Quotations and other third-party materials remain subject to the copyrights and intellectual property rights of their respective owners, where applicable. Their inclusion does not imply ownership by Kerrsplat Publishing or its contributors.
Any errors in quotation, attribution, or source identification are unintentional. Corrections may be submitted to Kerrsplat Publishing through BillMcNamee.com.
