Terms & Conditions

We (hereafter referred to as “Provider”, “we”, “us” or “our”) offer a unique library of eBooks, optimized for mobile devices. These services are available as a browser-based application (“Services”).

By visiting the website (“Sites”) and/or registering for the Services, you accept that you are entering into a binding contract with us governed by the Terms of Service, Additional Terms if applicable, and Privacy Policy.

Please take the time to read and understand the Terms of Service. If you do not agree with the Terms of Service, Additional Terms as well as the Privacy Policy, please don’t use the Sites or any of the Services.

The Terms of Service, Additional Terms and Privacy Policy may be updated without prior written notice to you at any time. These changes will form part of the Terms of Service, even if you do not re-use the Sites. You are responsible for being familiar with any amendments or modifications of the Terms of Service, Additional Terms and Privacy Policy.

Full access to the Service can be provided by a fee-based subscription which can be purchased for different periods and will be automatically renewed if not cancelled. We grant our subscribers full access to the content as long as they have an active subscription.

The fees shall become due upon purchase of the subscription irrespective of whether or not you actually use the Service; the consideration for the fees shall solely be the provision of the right to download, receive and/or access the content.

You are fully responsible for all activities that occur through your subscription. That responsibility includes, but is not limited to, the responsibility that you ensure timely payment of any fees, tariffs or other charges for getting access to the Services or any products and services made available through the Services. You agree to notify us immediately in case you become aware of or suspect unauthorized use of your subscription or any other breach of security.

To make the most out of our Service you must have the necessary mobile communication means with easy internet access. Some wireless applications are only available for a select number of mobile devices. This is an issue with its manufacturers, hence out of the control of Provider. To prevent any disappointment, we ask you to check the compatibility of your device before subscribing to the Service.

You are responsible for ensuring that your equipment and/or software do not disturb or interfere with Provider’s operations. Any equipment or software causing interference shall be immediately disconnected from the Service and Provider shall have the right to immediately terminate or suspend the Service.

For getting full access to a Service you will be charged the applicable fees.

The charges will be invoiced through the mobile bill you receive from the mobile operator of your network or through any other selected payment method. Separate text message fees and/or network fees from your mobile operator or payment processor can apply.

In the free welcome message or email you will find information about the Service fee and the frequency of the Service. We ask you to check and store this welcome message or email.

All fees, including fees for existing subscription contracts, are subject to change upon notice from us. We will provide you with reasonable notice of such a change. If you do not accept the new fees (which will be applicable only on a prospective basis), you may cancel your subscription effective immediately upon termination.

To guarantee safe use of the Service, as well as payment of the applicable fees, you must be registered. You guarantee that the personal information (“Registered Information”) provided to us is correct and complete at all times. If Provider, in its sole discretion, has reason to believe that the Registered Information is not accurate or complete, Provider is entitled to suspend or terminate your account and to withhold both current and future use of the Service, or any component of it.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords and/or accounts issued to you by Provider, and you are fully liable for all actions carried out involving the use of your password or account. You should contact Provider if you notice or suspect that unauthorized use has been made of your password or account, or any other breach of security.

Provider may provide you with access to some Services without being registered, such as sign-up via your mobile device for the Service. In each such case your identification is based on means of identification that we deem appropriate, such as your mobile telephone number.

You agree to use the Service in accordance with the following Code of Conduct:
