Young Hero Revenue Sharing

Approved Young Authors receive:
50% of qualifying digital sales revenue collected through the My Hero Books platform.

My Hero Books receives:
50% of qualifying digital sales revenue collected through the My Hero Books platform.

This 50/50 digital revenue-sharing model may apply to:

• E-Book Sales

• Audiobook Sales

• Digital Reading Products

• Streaming Content

• Eligible Future Digital Formats Offered Through My Hero Books

Royalty shares are calculated based on the actual sale price of eligible digital products purchased through the My Hero Books platform.

Physical / Hard-Copy Book Sales

Approved Young Heroes may also have the opportunity to offer physical copies of their books for sale through My Hero Books, participating book fairs, schools, daycares, events, the My Hero Books website, or other approved sales channels.

For qualifying physical book sales:

Young Hero receives: 70% of qualifying net physical book sales revenue

My Hero Books receives: 30% of qualifying net physical book sales revenue

Qualifying net physical book sales revenue means the amount remaining from an eligible physical book sale after applicable expenses associated with that sale have been deducted.

These expenses may include:

• Book Printing and Production Costs

• Sales Taxes

• Refunds and Returns

• Chargebacks

• Payment-Processing Fees

• Shipping or Fulfillment Costs Paid by My Hero Books

• Participating School or Daycare Commissions

• Retailer or Event Commissions

• Other Direct Costs Associated With Completing the Sale

This structure helps ensure that Young Heroes can benefit from successful book sales while allowing My Hero Books to continue printing, distributing, supporting, and promoting their books.

Payments for Young Heroes

Because participants may be minors, payments earned through the Young Hero Program will be issued to the child's parent, legal guardian, or another legally permitted account or designated recipient as required.

Parents or legal guardians are responsible for providing accurate payment and account information when required.

My Hero Books may establish reasonable payment schedules, minimum payout amounts, and verification procedures for revenue-sharing payments.

Returns, Refunds & Canceled Sales

Revenue sharing applies only to completed and qualifying sales.

Revenue will not be owed on transactions that are:

• Canceled

• Refunded

• Returned

• Reversed

• Fraudulent

• Subject to a Chargeback

• Otherwise Not Successfully Collected

If revenue has already been credited or paid for a transaction that is later refunded, returned, or reversed, the corresponding amount may be deducted from future revenue-sharing payments where permitted.

Third-Party Distribution Opportunities

As My Hero Books grows, we may seek opportunities to make selected books available through additional retailers, libraries, schools, educational organizations, digital platforms, or other distribution partners.

Third-party companies may charge their own commissions, distribution fees, printing costs, or platform fees.

Because of this, revenue generated through third-party channels may not follow the same 50/50 digital or 70/30 physical revenue-sharing structure used for qualifying sales directly through My Hero Books.

When additional authorization is required, the applicable opportunity and revenue arrangement will be presented to the parent or legal guardian before participation.

Digital Library Removal

Parents or legal guardians may request that an eligible Young Hero's book be removed from future availability in the My Hero Books Digital Library, subject to the applicable Young Hero Program agreement and any existing orders, licenses, contractual obligations, or third-party distribution commitments.

Removal from future sale or availability does not necessarily remove copies that were previously purchased, downloaded, distributed, licensed, or otherwise lawfully provided before the removal request became effective.

My Hero Books may also remove or suspend a book from the Digital Library when necessary for legal, safety, technical, quality, policy, or program-related reasons.

Marketing & Promotional Opportunities

Books participating in the Young Hero Program may be considered for promotional opportunities through My Hero Books.

These opportunities may include book fairs, website features, promotional displays, school or daycare events, book signings, reading events, social media promotion, or other age-appropriate opportunities.

Participation in promotional activities involving a child's name, image, voice, appearance, or other personal information will be handled in accordance with applicable parent or legal guardian permissions.

Not every participating book or Young Hero is guaranteed to receive the same promotional opportunities.
