Terms of Service
These Terms of Service govern your use of Inkbound, including the Inkbound website and supported mobile applications. By creating an account or using Inkbound, you agree to these Terms and to use the service lawfully.
Your account
You are responsible for maintaining access to your sign-in method and for activity performed through your account. Provide accurate account information, keep your credentials secure, and do not attempt to access another reader's private account or data.
Your reading archive and user content
You retain the rights you have in the notes, reviews, reading records, memories, photos, custom covers, collection banners, documents, and other content you add to Inkbound ("User Content").
You give Inky Dame Interactive a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, synchronize, resize, compress, transform, back up, and display your User Content only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Inkbound features you choose to use.
You are responsible for the User Content you upload and for ensuring that you have the right to store and use it. Do not upload unlawful content or use Inkbound to reproduce or distribute copyrighted works in a way that violates applicable law.
Private media and personal documentation
Inkbound may allow you to store private photographs and other personal documentation, including book covers, collection banners, copyright pages, title pages, signatures, inscriptions, receipts, condition photos, and similar collection records.
Content saved as private library content or in Photo Memories is intended for your personal account and is not added to Inkbound's public catalog merely because you upload it. If Inkbound offers a separate catalog-contribution or sharing feature, content is submitted only through that separate action.
Inkbound is a reading and personal library organization service, not an appraisal, insurance, authentication, or archival-certification service. We do not guarantee that photographs, receipts, edition details, or other records stored in Inkbound will be accepted by an insurer, appraiser, marketplace, court, or other third party as proof of ownership, authenticity, condition, edition, value, or loss. Keep independent copies of records that are especially important to you.
Public contributions and shared content
If you intentionally submit information through an Inkbound catalog-contribution, sharing, or other public-facing feature, you authorize Inkbound to review, process, and display the submitted material for that feature. Private User Content is not converted into a public contribution without an action that clearly indicates you are submitting or sharing it.
Acceptable use
Do not use Inkbound to break the law, infringe the rights of others, interfere with the service, bypass security controls, probe other users' data, distribute malware, abuse external APIs, or automate activity in a way that materially harms Inkbound, its providers, or other readers.
Book metadata and third-party content
Book covers, descriptions, identifiers, publication details, and other bibliographic information may come from third-party data providers or public data sources. Availability and accuracy can vary, and third-party content remains subject to the rights and terms of its provider. Inkbound does not guarantee that catalog metadata is complete, accurate, or suitable for valuation, authentication, or insurance documentation.
Copyright and intellectual property concerns
Inkbound respects intellectual property rights. If you believe content made publicly available through Inkbound infringes your rights, contact us with enough information to identify the material and explain your concern. We may remove or restrict access to content when reasonably necessary to comply with law or protect the rights of others.
Free and Premium features
Inkbound's core reading library is available without a Premium subscription. Premium adds the features identified as Premium in the app, such as advanced insights, richer reflections, historical reading views, and other enhanced tools. The current Premium price shown by Inkbound is $6.99 per month or $59.99 per year in the United States; the purchase screen presented by the applicable billing provider controls the final price, currency, taxes, billing period, and offer terms shown to you before purchase.
Web subscriptions are processed by Stripe. Subscriptions purchased through the Google Play-distributed Android app are processed by Google Play Billing. A Premium entitlement is associated with your Inkbound account, so supported Premium access can follow that account across Inkbound platforms after the purchase has been verified.
Paid subscriptions renew according to the terms displayed by the billing provider until canceled. Manage or cancel the subscription through the provider that processed the purchase. Cancellation normally stops future renewal rather than immediately removing access already paid for, subject to the provider's terms and applicable law. Refund eligibility is also determined by the applicable provider and law.
One-time support purchases or contributions, when offered, are separate from Premium and do not grant Premium access unless the purchase screen explicitly says otherwise.
Premium trial
Eligible accounts may receive one limited Inkbound Premium trial. When Inkbound describes the trial as a no-card trial, starting it does not require payment information, does not create a paid subscription, and does not automatically charge you when the trial ends. Unless Inkbound explicitly presents different terms before you start, the trial lasts 7 days. At expiration, the account returns to the Free experience unless you separately choose to purchase Premium.
Trial eligibility is determined per Inkbound account and may be limited to accounts that have not previously used the Inkbound Premium trial. Trial access does not change ownership of your library or prevent you from continuing to use Free features when the trial ends.
Storage, synchronization, and backups
Inkbound uses local device storage and cloud services to provide synchronization, recovery, and media storage. When you use the same Inkbound account on supported devices, supported account data is designed to synchronize across those devices. Synchronization can be delayed by connectivity, device state, account state, or service availability.
Inkbound provides export tools so you can keep your own copy of supported reading data. A Complete Inkbound Backup is intended for preserving richer Inkbound-specific data and structure, while the Library CSV is intended as a spreadsheet-friendly copy of library records.
No online service can guarantee uninterrupted access, instantaneous synchronization, or perfect preservation in every circumstance. Maintain separate backups of photos, records, and other information that would be difficult or impossible to replace.
Service changes
We may improve, add, modify, limit, or discontinue features as Inkbound develops. We will aim to avoid unnecessary disruption to your personal archive and to preserve reasonable export or deletion options when changes materially affect stored user data.
Account suspension or termination
We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect Inkbound, comply with law, investigate abuse, enforce these Terms, or protect users and third parties. You may delete your own account through Inkbound's account-deletion flow or request deletion through the public deletion resource.
No warranties
Inkbound is provided on an "as available" and "as is" basis to the extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the service will always be available or error-free, or that book metadata, reading calculations, reminders, synchronization, or stored records will always be complete or accurate.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Inky Dame Interactive will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of Inkbound, including loss of data, loss of access, or reliance on stored collection records. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as Inkbound changes. Material updates will be reflected by a new effective date and, when appropriate, notice within the service. Continued use after an effective update constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
