We display our services to provide translation, localization, transcreation, copywriting, design, marketing, and publication services to private/public companies, authors, and more.

Electronic Communications

Visiting publishme.me or sending emails to Transcre8 constitutes electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Site, satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing or in form reproducible in writing.

Transcre8 does not knowingly collect, either online or offline, personal information from people under the age of eighteen. If you are under 18, you may use publishme.me only with the permission of a parent or guardian.

Links to third-party sites/Third-party services

PublishMe may contain links to and integrations with third-party websites, services, and accounts (“Third-Party Services”). These Third-Party Services are not under the control of Transcre8, and Transcre8 is not responsible for their content, including any links contained therein or any changes or updates made to them. The inclusion of any such link or integration is provided solely for your convenience and does not imply endorsement by, or any association with, Transcre8.

Certain services made available through PublishMe are delivered by third-party providers with whom Transcre8 has contractual relationships. By using any product, service, or functionality originating from the PublishMe domain, or by connecting your PublishMe account to a Third-Party Service, you acknowledge and agree that your information may be continuously shared with such third parties (in accordance with your privacy settings on those services) to enable the provision of the requested product, service, or functionality. If you do not wish your information to be shared in this manner, you should refrain from using these features.

Copyright and License for Digital Content and Site UseYou are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use PublishMe and the digital content offered through it strictly in accordance with these Terms and Estonian copyright law. Ownership of the Site and all digital content remains with Transcre8 or its suppliers; no ownership rights are transferred.

All content included as part of the Service, such as text, graphics, logos, images, compilations, and any software used on the Site, as well as all digital content made available for download, is the property of Transcre8 or its suppliers and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You agree to observe and abide by all copyright and other proprietary notices, legends, or restrictions contained in such content.

Digital content may be downloaded once and copied onto your own end devices for exclusively personal use. Further downloads (re-downloads) may be enabled where possible, but there is no entitlement to them. PublishMe may change, interrupt, or discontinue download functionality at any time, temporarily or permanently, and may delete individual digital content from your customer account (if such an account exists) for good cause, particularly in the event of rights disputes. This right of deletion does not apply to content already stored separately on your devices (e.g., PC or eReader).

You may not modify, publish, transmit, reverse engineer, participate in the transfer or sale, create derivative works, or otherwise exploit any part of the Site or digital content, whether in whole or in part. In particular, you may not copy digital content for third parties, make it publicly accessible, forward it, post it on the Internet or other networks (whether for payment or free of charge), imitate it, print it, resell it, or use it for commercial purposes.

Digital content may be individually marked with digital watermarks to identify the original purchaser in case of misuse and may be protected against unlawful copying via Adobe Digital Rights Management (DRM). Use of DRM-protected content is only possible with the respective Adobe ID stored on your end device(s).

Your use of the Site and its content does not entitle you to make unauthorized use of any protected material. In particular, you may not delete or alter any proprietary rights or attribution notices. Protected content may be used solely for your personal purposes and in no other manner without the express written permission of Transcre8 OÜ and the copyright owner. No licenses, express or implied, are granted beyond those expressly authorized by these Terms.

Under no circumstances may PublishMe content, including texts, works, or other legally protected material, be translated in substantial parts or in their entirety, nor may such content or any translations thereof be published or otherwise made available to third parties.

Any translation of content in part or in whole may only be used for your own private and exclusively personal purposes. Any other use is prohibited and strictly forbidden.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Transcre8 OÜ, its officers, directors, employees, agents and third parties, for any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of your use of or inability to use the Site or services, any user postings made by you, your violation of any terms of this Agreement or your violation of any rights of a third party, or your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Transcre8 reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Transcre8 in asserting any available defenses.

Liability Disclaimer

The information, software, products, and services included in or available through the site may include inaccuracies or typographical errors. Changes are periodically added to the information herein. Transcre8 and/or its suppliers may make improvements and/or changes to the site at any time.

Transcre8 and/or its suppliers make no representations regarding the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, or accuracy of the information, software, products, services, and related graphics made available through the website functionality and content for any purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all such information, software, products, services, and related graphics are provided “as is” without warranty or condition of any kind. Transcre8 and/or its suppliers hereby disclaim all warranties and conditions regarding this information, software, products, services, and related graphics, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. For the avoidance of doubt, this disclaimer applies only to the website’s functionality and content and does not extend to any services ordered or contracted by the user.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Transcre8 and/or its suppliers be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential damages, or any damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, damages for loss of use, data, or profits, arising out of or in any way connected with the use or performance of the site, with the delay or inability to use the site or related services, the provision of or failure to provide services, or for any information, software, products, services, and related graphics obtained through the site, or otherwise arising out of the use of the site, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if Transcre8 or any of its suppliers has been advised of the possibility of damages. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the site, or with any of these terms of use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the site.

Termination/Access Restriction

Transcre8 OÜ may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or related services if you materially breach these Terms, applicable law, or otherwise misuse the Site or services. In addition, Transcre8 OÜ may terminate this Agreement for convenience by giving reasonable prior notice (generally not less than 30 days). You may stop using the Site at any time without giving a reason. However, discontinuing use of the Site does not relieve you of your obligation to pay for any services already ordered, in accordance with the Terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, this agreement is governed by the laws of Estonia and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in Estonia in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Site. However, to the extent required by mandatory consumer-protection law, a consumer may bring proceedings in the courts of their place of residence. For these purposes, a consumer is understood to mean a natural person entering into a contract for purposes outside their trade, business, or professional activity. Use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including, without limitation, this section.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Transcre8 as a result of this agreement or use of the Site. Transcre8’s performance of this agreement is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in this agreement is in derogation of Transcre8’s right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site or information provided to or gathered by Transcre8 with respect to such use. If any part of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect.

Unless otherwise specified herein, this agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the user and Transcre8 with respect to the Site, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the user and Transcre8 with respect to the Site. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. It is the express wish of the parties that this agreement and all related documents be written in English. This agreement does not govern or affect any separate agreements entered into between Transcre8 and services users in relation to the provision of specific services.

Changes to Terms

Transcre8 may amend these Terms unilaterally if the amendment is (i) required by applicable law or a competent supervisory authority, (ii) more favourable to the user, (iii) related to the introduction of a new service, or (iv) otherwise reasonably justified by material changes in circumstances (such as developments in technology, security requirements, or significant increases in costs). For amendments that are less favourable to the user, Transcre8 will provide advance notice (normally at least 30 days) via publishme.me or other appropriate means. If the user does not accept the amended Terms, they may terminate the Agreement before the amendments take effect.

Transcre8 is always open to receiving your questions or comments regarding the Terms:
