Welcome to AfterPublisher.com.

These Terms of Use govern your use of the After Publisher website and any digital products, downloads, worksheets, guides, templates, spreadsheets, or other materials purchased or obtained through the site.

By accessing the website or purchasing or downloading our products, you agree to these Terms.

1. About After Publisher

After Publisher provides educational resources and digital tools designed to help individuals and organizations prepare for the retirement of Microsoft Publisher and transition their files and workflows to other software.

After Publisher is an independent resource.

After Publisher is not affiliated with, sponsored by, approved by, or endorsed by Microsoft Corporation.

Microsoft, Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft 365, Word, PowerPoint, and other product names are trademarks of their respective owners.

References to third-party products such as Canva, LibreOffice, Affinity, or other software are provided for informational purposes and do not imply affiliation or endorsement.

2. Educational Information Only

Information provided through AfterPublisher.com and our digital products is intended for general educational and informational purposes.

Software interfaces, capabilities, pricing, compatibility, and product features can change.

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and useful information, but we cannot guarantee that every instruction, screenshot, menu name, feature, or software behavior will remain unchanged.

Always preserve important original files and maintain appropriate backups before converting, editing, importing, moving, or deleting files.

3. No File-Conversion or Consulting Service

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a product description, purchasing an After Publisher product does not include:

  • Conversion of your Publisher files
  • Review of individual files
  • One-on-one consulting
  • Technical support for third-party software
  • Custom template creation
  • Software installation
  • Data recovery
  • Migration services

Our products provide tools and instructions that allow you to manage your own transition.

4. Digital Product License

When you purchase a digital product from After Publisher, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the materials.

You may:

  • Use the materials personally
  • Use the materials within your own business or organization
  • Print copies for employees, volunteers, or team members within the purchasing organization
  • Complete, modify, or duplicate worksheets for your organization’s own internal use

You may not:

  • Resell the product or any portion of it
  • Redistribute the files publicly
  • Upload the files to another website, shared resource library, marketplace, or file-sharing service
  • Give copies to another business, organization, church, nonprofit, school, consultant, or client
  • Repackage the materials as your own product
  • Remove copyright notices or branding
  • Use the materials to create a substantially similar product for resale
  • Sell, license, or distribute modified versions of the materials

Each separate organization should purchase its own copy unless another license is expressly offered.

5. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the original content, branding, graphics, worksheets, written materials, product design, and downloadable resources available through After Publisher are owned by After Publisher and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Third-party trademarks, screenshots, product names, and software interfaces remain the property of their respective owners.

6. Purchases

Prices and product availability may change without notice.

You agree to provide accurate billing and contact information when making a purchase.

Payments are processed by third-party payment providers and may also be subject to that provider’s terms.

7. Refunds

Purchases of downloadable digital products are subject to our Refund & Returns Policy.

Except where required by law, digital-product sales are final once access has been provided.

8. No Guarantee of Results

We cannot guarantee that:

  • Every .pub file can be converted
  • A third-party program will perfectly reproduce a Publisher document
  • Fonts, images, formatting, or layout will remain identical
  • A particular replacement program will meet every user’s needs
  • Every file can be recovered after Publisher is retired
  • Following the toolkit will eliminate all migration problems

Publisher files vary widely in age, complexity, fonts, linked files, embedded assets, page layouts, and software versions.

Your results may therefore vary.

9. Backups and Data Loss

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of your files.

Do not delete, overwrite, or permanently alter important Publisher files solely because you have created a PDF or imported the document into another application.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, After Publisher is not responsible for loss of files, data, formatting, images, fonts, content, or other information resulting from the use of our instructions or third-party software.

10. Third-Party Software and Websites

Our products may discuss or link to third-party programs and services, including Microsoft, Canva, LibreOffice, Affinity, or other software providers.

After Publisher does not control these companies and is not responsible for their:

  • Products
  • Pricing
  • Features
  • Availability
  • Privacy practices
  • Terms
  • Software changes
  • File compatibility
  • Customer support

Your use of third-party software is governed by the terms established by that provider.

11. Affiliate Links

AfterPublisher.com may occasionally contain affiliate links.

If you purchase something through an affiliate link, After Publisher may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Any affiliate relationship will not change the price you pay.

Recommendations are intended to be based on the usefulness or relevance of a product rather than solely on the availability of an affiliate commission.

12. Acceptable Website Use

You agree not to:

  • Attempt to disrupt or damage the website
  • Attempt unauthorized access to the website or its systems
  • Copy or scrape substantial portions of our proprietary content
  • Use the website for fraudulent or unlawful purposes
  • Circumvent digital-product access restrictions
  • Share purchased download links publicly

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, After Publisher will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or similar damages arising from your use of the website, our digital products, or third-party software discussed in our materials.

Our total liability relating to a purchased product will not exceed the amount you paid for that product, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold After Publisher harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses resulting from your misuse of the website or products, violation of these Terms, or infringement of the rights of another party.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms of Use from time to time.

Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms will be governed by the laws applicable to the operator of After Publisher, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any provisions that cannot legally be enforced will be interpreted or limited only to the extent necessary, while the remainder of these Terms will remain in effect.
