I've attached the Sigil file. Any help much appreciated!

Here's how I've tried to handle the ToC
=============================
1. I use this method for the copyright page:
Add this line:
<h1 class="hidden">Copyright</h1>
Note that when you generate the toc.xhtml in sigil you must then manually add:
<h1 class="hidden">Contents</h1>
Then delete the generated
<div class="sgc-toc-title">Table of Contents</div>

2. Cover (to avoid Kindle covers being duplicated and for compatibility between amazon mobi and epub formats. See this article: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=219550)
<spine> <itemref idref="my-html-cover" linear="no" /> </spine><spine> <itemref idref="my-html-cover" linear="no" /> </spine>

3. Spine Toc error
<manifest>
<item href="toc.ncx" id="ncx" media-type="application/x-dtbncx+xml" />
Should be
<item href="toc.ncx" id=" TOC.xhtml " media-type="application/x-dtbncx+xml" />
To agree with:
<spine toc="ncx">
<itemref idref="cover.xhtml" linear="no" />
<itemref idref="TOC.xhtml" />
Slick:

Ignore the Amazon issues. Smashwords does not have distro to Amazon, so that issue is moot for you. The linear=no is likely causing your issue, although I admit I didn't look at your coding indepth. Don't mess with your NCX, not for Smashwords, they don't have the sophistication to work with that.
