Welcome to Pageturn. These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Sippey LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Pageturn," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Pageturn website at pageturn.app, our mobile applications, and all related features, content, and services (collectively, the "Service").
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 13 or older.
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, contact us at support@pageturn.app.
If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. Some jurisdictions and app-store rules impose additional requirements for users under 16 or 18; we may restrict certain features accordingly.
You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, or if we have previously terminated your Account.
To use most features, you must register for an Account. You agree to:
We may offer sign-in through third-party providers (such as Sign in with Apple or Google). Your use of those sign-in methods is also subject to the third party's terms. We are not responsible for the availability or security of third-party authentication services.
You may close your Account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your Account as described in Section 14.
Pageturn is a social network and discovery service for readers. Depending on features made available, you may post books you are reading, share covers and thoughts, comment on others' posts, save books privately, follow other users, and discover books surfaced from bestseller lists, literary awards, and other cultural sources.
Book Data comes from third-party sources (for example, publisher and bibliographic databases, retailer catalogs, bestseller lists, and awards data). We do not guarantee that Book Data is accurate, complete, current, or free of errors. Cover images and bibliographic details are the property of their respective rights holders and are displayed for identification and discovery purposes. We may add, remove, correct, or re-source Book Data at any time.
Availability of any particular book, list, or data source is not guaranteed and may change based on our agreements with, or the availability of, third-party sources.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us and our licensors.
You agree not to, and not to permit others to:
We may investigate and take action against violations, including removing Content, suspending or terminating Accounts, and reporting to law enforcement.
You retain ownership of the User Content you post. We do not claim ownership of your User Content.
By posting User Content, you grant Pageturn a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display), publish, publicly display, distribute, and otherwise use your User Content in connection with operating, providing, promoting, and improving the Service. This license continues for as long as your User Content is on the Service, and for a reasonable period afterward for backups and legal compliance. It ends when you or we delete the User Content, except (a) to the extent it has been shared with others who have not deleted it, and (b) for residual copies in backups or as required by law.
You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms or any third party's rights.
If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it for any purpose without obligation to you.
We are not obligated to monitor User Content but may review, remove, or restrict any Content at our discretion, without notice, for any reason, including violations of these Terms.
We may, but are not required to, moderate Content. You can report Content that violates these Terms to support@pageturn.app. We may remove Content, issue warnings, limit features, or suspend or terminate Accounts for violations. Decisions about moderation are made at our discretion, and we may provide notice and appeal mechanisms where required by applicable law.
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, the Pageturn name and logomark, and the selection and arrangement of Content (excluding User Content and third-party Book Data), is owned by Pageturn or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service or Pageturn Content.
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").
If you believe Content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent containing: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (3) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act.
Designated DMCA Agent:
Sippey LLC

We may remove allegedly infringing material and terminate repeat infringers' Accounts. If you believe your Content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice.
The Service may contain links to third-party websites, retailers, or services (for example, links to purchase books). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party sites, their content, or their practices. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.
Affiliate disclosure: The Service may include affiliate links (for example, to bookseller partners), and we may earn a commission when you purchase through those links, at no additional cost to you.
The Service is currently free. We may introduce paid features, subscriptions, or premium tiers in the future. If we do, additional terms will apply, and we will present pricing, billing, renewal, cancellation, and refund terms before you incur any charge. We will not charge you for currently free features without notice and, where required, your consent.
You may stop using the Service and delete your Account at any time.
We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service, with or without notice, if: (a) you violate these Terms or applicable law; (b) your conduct may harm us, other users, or third parties; (c) we are required to do so by law; or (d) we discontinue the Service.
Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 8.2 (license), 8.4 (feedback), 10 (IP), 15–19 (disclaimers, liability, indemnification, disputes), and 20 (general).
We may retain and delete your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT AND BOOK DATA, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT BOOK DATA OR USER CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE. ANY MATERIAL OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PAGETURN AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pageturn and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.
Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at support@pageturn.app. We'll try to resolve it within 60 days.
Except for the exceptions below, you and Pageturn agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding arbitration rather than in court. The arbitration will be conducted in the City and County of San Francisco, California, or by video/phone where available. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
You and Pageturn agree that claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.
Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for intellectual-property infringement or unauthorized access.
You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@pageturn.app with your name and a statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Where arbitration does not apply, the exclusive venue is the state and federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by posting the updated Terms with a new "Last updated" date, or by notifying you through the Service or email). Changes take effect when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.
If you download or use the Pageturn mobile application (the "App") from a third-party app store or distribution platform (each an "App Provider," such as Apple or Google), your use of the App is also subject to that App Provider's applicable terms. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and an App Provider's terms as they relate to the App, the App Provider's required terms will govern solely with respect to that App.
If you download or use the App from the Apple App Store, your license to use the App is additionally governed by Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, currently available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ (the "Apple Standard EULA"), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
You acknowledge that: (a) these Terms and the Apple Standard EULA are between you and Sippey LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"), and Pageturn (not Apple) is solely responsible for the App and its content; and (b) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and the Apple Standard EULA, and Apple has the right to enforce them against you.
To the extent any term of these Terms conflicts with the Apple Standard EULA with respect to your use of the App on Apple devices, the Apple Standard EULA governs solely as to that conflict. Any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App should be directed to Pageturn at the address in Section 22.
If you obtain the App from Google Play or another App Provider, you agree to comply with that platform's applicable terms of service. Provisions similar to those in Section 21.1 (including that the agreement is between you and Pageturn, not the App Provider; that the App Provider has no support, warranty, or claims responsibility; and that the App Provider is not liable for your use of the App) apply with respect to that App Provider to the extent required by its terms.
