A Factory Pass runs one book through the factory. Your Factory page shows what's left at the foot of the step list: Finals left n of 3, live until (date). On a narrow screen it's at the top: n of 3 finals left · storage until (date).
What's included
- One book (a second title is a second pass; revising and rebuilding the same book is just another build).
- Unlimited uploads, inspections and proofs.
- 3 finals.
- Six months of storage and downloads from when the pass is set up.
- An authoring template generated for your book.
- Every final you export kept for download. Of the proofs, the factory keeps your latest five, your first, and the last one of each day you built.
Refunds: a full refund any time before your first build, proof or final.
Not included: email support, the typesetting source files, fonts (they are licensed to the studio), and cover design beyond the type-only house cover. Current prices and add-ons (more finals, more time, an index, a review by the studio) are on the Factory page.
When it ends
After six months the pass goes read-only: downloads keep working for 30 more days, but uploading and building stop. After that the manuscript and builds are deleted; only the title, dates and build count are kept. Keep your own copy of the files you care about.
Messages you might see
- "This project isn't running on a Factory Pass": uploading and building are off for this book. You can still read the transmittal and download anything already built.
- "Your pass ended on (date)": downloads still work; ask the studio for more time.
- "No finals left": proofs still work; add finals from the page, or ask.
- "This pass is no longer active": email the studio and we'll sort it out.
