Books that have already received or are awaiting the receipt of a grant from another Korean agency, such as the Literature Translation Institute of Korea or the Korea Creative Content Agency, are not eligible for this grant. If a single book is found to have received grants from multiple agencies, sanctions may be taken, such as the cancellation of the agreement and retrieval of grant funds, regardless of whether the agreement has been signed.
• 
Books selected for grants may be used for non-profit purposes by KPIPA, such as the promotion of KPIPA’s business.
• 
If the publication or submission of a book is delayed without justifiable reasons, or if the content of the publication report is deemed unsatisfactory, the grant may not be paid.
