Effective Date: August 13, 2026
This Disclaimer applies to the website, content, communications, educational materials, publishing information, author opportunities, marketing materials, events, and other general resources provided by GMC Capital Enterprises, LLC under the Illuminare House™ brand.
1. No Guarantee of Publication or Acceptance
Submitting an inquiry, application, proposal, manuscript, chapter, biography, or other material does not guarantee acceptance, publication, inclusion in an anthology, distribution, or a publishing relationship. Decisions may depend on editorial fit, quality, deadlines, legal or rights considerations, capacity, project requirements, and other factors.
2. No Guarantee of Sales, Bestseller Status, or Business Results
Books and publishing are inherently uncertain. Illuminare House does not guarantee book sales, royalties, profitability, rankings, bestseller status, reviews, media coverage, speaking engagements, invitations, audience growth, lead generation, business revenue, career opportunities, or any other specific commercial or professional result.
Any examples, case studies, testimonials, author experiences, sales figures, rankings, or outcomes are provided for context and do not represent a promise that another author or customer will achieve the same or similar result. Individual outcomes vary based on many factors outside our control.
3. Testimonials and Endorsements
Testimonials and endorsements reflect the experiences or opinions of the individuals who provide them. They are not guarantees of future results. Where a material relationship exists between an endorser and Illuminare House, appropriate disclosures should be made as required by applicable law. We do not knowingly publish fake or false reviews or condition compensation on a particular positive sentiment.
4. Publishing and Editorial Information Is Not Legal Advice
Information about copyright, permissions, contracts, trademarks, publishing practices, author rights, business structures, taxes, marketing, distribution, or similar topics is provided for general educational purposes only and is not legal, tax, accounting, investment, or financial advice. You should consult an appropriately qualified professional regarding your specific circumstances.
5. Author Responsibility for Content
Authors and contributors are responsible for the accuracy, legality, originality, permissions, citations, factual statements, personal claims, and other content they submit, except to the extent a written agreement expressly assigns a different responsibility. Editing and proofreading reduce risk but do not guarantee that every factual, legal, grammatical, typographical, or other issue will be identified.
6. Third-Party Platforms, Retailers, Printers, and Distributors
Book availability, pricing, metadata, reviews, rankings, retailer listings, printing, shipping, distribution, platform access, account status, and other functions may depend on independently operated third parties. Illuminare House does not control and cannot guarantee the uninterrupted operation, policies, timelines, algorithms, or decisions of third-party retailers, printers, distributors, payment processors, social platforms, or technology providers.
7. Intellectual Property and Permissions
The presence of content on our website or in a book does not mean the content is free to copy, reproduce, distribute, adapt, or use commercially. Copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, and other rights may apply. Authors and users are responsible for obtaining appropriate permissions for third-party materials they submit or use.
8. Faith-Based or Inspirational Content
Some books, author programs, or communications may include faith-based, inspirational, spiritual, or reflective content. Such content is not pastoral counseling, mental-health treatment, medical care, or a substitute for advice from qualified clergy, licensed healthcare professionals, or other appropriate professionals.
9. Website Accuracy and Availability
We make reasonable efforts to keep website information current and accurate, but information may contain typographical errors, outdated details, or omissions. We may correct or update information without notice. Website access may occasionally be interrupted for maintenance, security, technology failures, or other reasons.
10. Separate Agreements Control
A signed publishing, contributor, co-author, author-services, release, licensing, or other agreement may contain specific rights, obligations, warranties, refund terms, production commitments, or limitations. If this Disclaimer conflicts with a specific signed agreement, the signed agreement controls for that engagement to the extent permitted by law.
