Author Commission & Earnings

How independent-author sales, the 70/30 revenue share, refunds, subscriptions, reporting, and payouts work on GiftedPages4U.
Standard direct-sale split: 70% Author / 30% GiftedPages4U.
The Author Publishing Agreement controls if it contains different title-specific terms.

1. Direct Sales

For an eligible individual sale processed by GiftedPages4U, the author receives 70% and GiftedPages4U retains 30% of the eligible sale amount.

2. Eligible Sale Amount

The eligible sale amount is the customer price actually collected for the author's content, excluding sales/VAT-type taxes, refunded amounts, chargebacks/reversals/fraud, amounts not successfully collected, and separately disclosed third-party marketplace deductions.

Under the standard GiftedPages4U direct checkout model, ordinary payment-processing costs are paid from GiftedPages4U's 30% platform share rather than deducted again from the author's 70% share.

3. Example

ExampleAmount
Eligible customer sale$14.99
Author — 70%$10.49
GiftedPages4U — 30%$4.50

Amounts may be rounded to the nearest cent. Taxes, refunds, chargebacks, discounts, or marketplace deductions can change the actual calculation.

4. Subscription & Membership Usage

A customer's full membership fee is not treated as a direct sale of every title opened. If GiftedPages4U compensates authors for qualifying membership usage, the applicable creator-pool, usage-based, fixed-license, promotional, or other method will be disclosed in the Author Agreement, dashboard, or supplemental compensation schedule.

5. Discounts & Promotions

For approved discounts, the revenue share is generally calculated from the discounted eligible amount actually collected unless a separate promotion says otherwise.

6. Refunds & Chargebacks

Refunded, fraudulent, reversed, or charged-back transactions do not create final earnings. Previously credited amounts may be offset against future earnings where allowed by the Author Agreement and law.

7. Reporting

Author reporting may show eligible sales, refunds, adjustments, subscription compensation where applicable, and amounts due. Reporting may be delayed while transactions settle or disputes are evaluated.

8. Payouts

Payout timing, thresholds, methods, identity verification, and tax documentation will be stated in the Author Agreement, dashboard, or payout instructions. Payouts may be delayed reasonably to investigate fraud, disputes, rights claims, reversals, or missing information.

9. Taxes

Authors are responsible for their own tax obligations and must provide accurate tax information when requested. GiftedPages4U may withhold when legally required.

10. No Earnings Guarantee

Participation does not guarantee sales, streams, usage, placement, promotion, minimum revenue, or any particular earnings.
