Rules about Pre-ordering:

1. By 'pre-ordering' a book you choose to back the author and contribute funds towards the completion of the project. However, that does not give you any form of right, control or ownership of that work. Such rights are only retained by the Author and whosoever the Author chooses to share these rights. By ‘Pre-ordering’ a book you are only acting as a contributor/backer to the project.
2. At the time of Pre-ordering, you will have to disclose your full payment information.
