Terms and Conditions of India Poetry Magazine Contest

** Copyright of the work remains with the original artist.
** Upon acceptance, the artist grants the publisher, Kirk Ramdath, the right to the first publication of the work, as well as the right to republish the work in Wax Poetry and Art anthologies and collections, online and in print, without additional permission required.
** If the work is ever collected into a book or made available for sale in any other print format, the artist will receive a minimum 20% royalty.
** If the work is included in a collection with other artists (as is most likely), the 20% royalty is shared equally among all artists, based on the number of works contributed.
** If the work is ever made available for sale in a digital format, a 50% royalty will be given, and shared as necessary. Royalties are paid out annually in January if a minimum of $10 CAD is accrued.
** There is no initial payment.

** The artist also grants the publisher the right to publish part of the work on third party platforms such as Facebook and other social media, specifically for the purpose of sharing the work with more people, and considering the evolving and experimental nature of the Internet. This does not obligate the publisher to make social media posts.

** The editor reserves the right to make whatever changes are deemed necessary, at any time, to ensure that publication occurs. Publication is perpetual. However, the artist may appeal any change within 30 days of publication.
** If artist and publisher cannot reach an agreement, the work will be unpublished. This preserves the artistic integrity of both the work and the publication.
