Refund & Returns Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Satisfaction Guarantee
We guarantee print quality and binding. We design each illustration to keep the features that make a person recognizable: hair color and style, skin tone, and face shape.
Some titles include a preview step before printing. Where it is offered, it is shown during ordering.
Make It Right reprint guarantee
If your printed book does not look like the people in the photos you uploaded, email support@youversebooks.com within 30 days of delivery with a photo of the book. We will reprint it free and ship it to you. You do not need to return the original.
The guarantee covers eligible likeness concerns. If you approved a preview for a character, that approval waives the free reprint guarantee only for a likeness complaint about that approved character. It does not waive coverage for other likeness concerns or for print, binding, or page defects.
Covered: illustrations that fail to resemble the people you uploaded, except for likeness complaints about characters that match a character preview you approved; print or binding defects with a free replacement or refund, and missing or wrong pages with a free replacement.
Not covered:
- A change of mind about the story, format, cover, or who you included
- Requests more than 30 days after delivery
- A second reprint of the same order (one reprint per order)
- Names or details entered incorrectly at checkout (contact us anyway and we will do what we can)
- Photos that were blurry, heavily shadowed, shot at extreme angles, or with the face covered. Illustration quality depends on photo quality, and we may ask for better photos before reprinting.
Due to the custom nature of our products, books cannot be resold.
