Terms
Website terms.
These terms govern use of the MAQUINE website and the initial exchange of rights, catalog, partnership, and submission information.
Last updated July 9, 2026
Website scope
This website presents MAQUINE's publishing, international-rights, localization, foreign-edition, and partnership work. Its editorial and business materials are general information and may be revised as services, catalogs, markets, and availability develop.
No automatic relationship
Sending an inquiry, catalog, manuscript, or other material does not create representation, agency, publication, licensing, exclusivity, confidentiality, fiduciary duty, or a partnership. Any obligation must be stated in a separate written agreement signed by the relevant parties.
Authority to submit
Send materials only when you own the relevant rights or are authorized to represent the rightsholder. You are responsible for the accuracy of ownership, territory, format, term, publication-history, and availability information supplied to MAQUINE.
Review and confidentiality
MAQUINE handles professional materials with care, but unsolicited information should not be treated as legally confidential unless a written confidentiality agreement is already in force. Do not send trade secrets, original physical materials, or irreplaceable files through the website form.
Catalog and market information
Catalog descriptions, rights status, territories, formats, schedules, fair dates, market observations, and service availability can change. A website page is not a rights offer, guarantee of placement, legal opinion, sales forecast, or commitment to a publication date.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise identified, the MAQUINE name, visual identity, website design, original text, and commissioned artwork are protected materials. You may view and share links for ordinary professional reference, but may not reproduce, republish, train models on, sell, or create commercial derivatives from the site content without permission.
External services and availability
Links to fairs, publishers, platforms, or other third parties are provided for context and do not imply endorsement or control. MAQUINE may change, suspend, or correct the website and cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability, compatibility, or freedom from every technical error.
Professional decisions
Rights, privacy, tax, legal, financial, and commercial decisions should be reviewed by qualified advisers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, MAQUINE is not responsible for decisions made solely from general website content. Written project agreements control if they conflict with these website terms.
Changes and contact
MAQUINE may update these terms when the website or operating practices change. Continued use after an update is subject to the revised terms. Questions about a particular inquiry or use of MAQUINE materials should be sent to the rights desk.
