Dear Friend, When you write and distribute an eBook or special report, regardless of the format (PDF, Kindle, etc.), you're going to want to take certain steps to protect your ownership and keep yourself out of trouble with the government. This includes using the right language to cover copyrights, trademarks, and other important legal issues. Effective
December 1, 2009,
the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s new guidelines require
disclosure
of
affiliate status when you promote goods or services in exchange for a
commission or something else of value. This creates problems for eBook
authors
who promote products and services in their eBooks using affiliate
links. Affiliates who
rebrand an eBook with their own affiliate links also can
face
legal liability unless they properly disclose to readers their
affiliate
status. This means
that if you
haven’t changed the legal language in your eBooks, you’re
increasing
your risk
of getting into trouble. Think how much it would cost you in legal fees
to
defend yourself if the FTC came after you. But what if you can’t afford
to pay an Internet lawyer to draft customized
eBook legal disclosures and disclaimers? Fortunately, there is an alternative. Internet Attorney Mike Young has created an “Affiliate eBook Disclosure Package” containing templates (both in DOC and RTF formats) that you can add to your eBook in just 4 minutes or less. These templates were specifically created to address affiliate disclosure plus many other legal liability issues facing eBook authors and affiliates who embed links in eBooks. There are three different
templates included in the package for you to use in your
eBooks: 1.
Template for your eBooks
about making money
and/or business
opportunities. 2.
Template for your eBooks
about health-related
issues (such as exercise
and weight loss). 3. Template for your eBooks that cover both money and health issues. What if you have an eBook with affiliate links that isn't related to money-making or health? Simply use the money-making template but remove the section called "Earnings and Income Disclaimers." The rest of the template covers this type of niche product (e.g. an ebook about dog tricks). What types of legal issues
do these eBook legal templates cover? 1. Affiliate status
and compensation
disclosure. 2. Copyright and trademark notices. 3. Limits
of liability and
disclaimers of warranties. 4.
Earnings and income disclaimers. 5. Health
disclaimers. Many Internet lawyers would charge you more than $1,600 to get customized legal documents for your eBooks that cover these legal issues. How many
eBooks would you have
to sell just to
pay your legal bills? However,
to make protection
affordable, you can get the right to use all three legal templates in
your
eBooks for just $147 when you get them now. Why are these templates so affordable? Ideally,
for
maximum protection, you should have your own Internet lawyer draft
disclosures specifically for each ebook you produce. However, Attorney
Young understands that many businesses simply can't afford the legal
fees to do this, so he has created a reasonably-priced
alternative. You’ll want to claim your set for $147 now because the price will be going up soon to $197.
