Terms of Use

Effective date: August 24, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Kwotebook ("Kwotebook," "we," "us," or "our") governing the Kwotebook mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing or using the Service, or otherwise accepting these Terms, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least 13 years old and meet any higher minimum age required in your location to use the Service. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must authorize your use and agree to these Terms on your behalf. You may use the Service only if you can legally enter into these Terms and are not barred from doing so under applicable law.

2. YOUR ACCOUNT

You agree to provide accurate information, keep it current, protect your credentials, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account. You may not share your account, use another person's account without permission, or create an account for someone else without authority.

3. LIMITED LICENSE TO USE THE SERVICE

Subject to these Terms, Kwotebook grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the Service for lawful, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, sell, rent, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service except as law permits or we agree in writing. App stores or platforms may provide additional license terms.

4. YOUR CONTENT

You retain ownership of the quotes, books, and other content you submit ("Your Content"). You grant Kwotebook a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt for technical formatting, transmit, and display Your Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, and provide the Service, including displaying it to people with whom you deliberately share a Kwotebook.

You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to add and share Your Content and that it does not violate law or another person's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights. You are responsible for Your Content and for obtaining permission before posting private or identifying information about someone else. The license above ends when Your Content is deleted from active systems, except to the limited extent it remains in protected backups, has already been shared at your direction, or must be retained for legal, safety, or enforcement reasons.

5. SHARED CONTENT

Content you place in a shared Kwotebook may be visible to people you invite or authorize. You control what you share and with whom. Other users may be able to save, record, or redistribute information they legitimately receive outside Kwotebook. We cannot control what they do with that information, so do not share content you do not want recipients to retain.

6. ACCEPTABLE USE

You agree not to:

  • Post or share content that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, exploitative, or discriminatory.
  • Infringe another person's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
  • Impersonate someone, misrepresent your identity, or access another person's account without permission.
  • Use the Service for spam, fraud, deceptive conduct, or unauthorized commercial activity.
  • Upload malicious code or disrupt, damage, overload, bypass, probe, or interfere with the Service or its security.
  • Reverse engineer the Service except where applicable law expressly permits it.
  • Use bots, scrapers, or automated systems to access, collect, or misuse information from the Service without our written permission.
  • Help anyone do any of the above.

We may investigate violations and remove content or restrict access where reasonably necessary, but we are not obligated to monitor all content.

7. KWOTEBOOK INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND FEEDBACK

The Service—including its software, design, text, graphics, branding, and other materials, excluding Your Content—is owned by Kwotebook or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not grant you rights to Kwotebook names, logos, or trademarks. If you submit ideas or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right to use it without restriction or compensation. To report an intellectual-property concern, contact us with enough detail for us to investigate.

8. PURCHASES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS

Some features require a paid subscription or in-app purchase. Apple processes App Store purchases under the price, renewal, cancellation, tax, and refund terms presented at purchase and in your Apple account. Subscriptions may renew automatically unless you cancel through your Apple subscription settings before renewal. We do not receive or store your full payment-card information. Prices and included features may change; we will provide notice when required before a change applies to you. Except where law or Apple's terms provide otherwise, fees are non-refundable.

9. PRIVACY

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information. It is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND APP STORES

The Service relies on or may link to third-party services, including Apple, Google, Supabase, Amazon Web Services, and Google AdMob. Their terms and privacy policies may apply, and we are not responsible for third-party services outside our reasonable control.

If you obtained the App through Apple, these Terms are between you and Kwotebook, not Apple. To the extent required by Apple's rules, Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App and is not responsible for claims relating to the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce the applicable App Store provisions against you. Apple's media services terms are available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes.

11. SERVICE CHANGES AND AVAILABILITY

We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue features as the Service evolves. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes when appropriate, but we do not promise that every feature or item of content will always be available. You are responsible for keeping copies of content you cannot afford to lose.

12. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

You may stop using Kwotebook at any time and may request account deletion through the App. We may suspend or terminate access, remove content, or take other reasonable action if you materially violate these Terms, create a legal or security risk, misuse the Service, fail to pay applicable fees, or if law requires it. Where reasonable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, disputes, and general terms—will survive.

13. DISCLAIMERS

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." KWOTEBOOK DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT CONTENT WILL NOT BE LOST. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KWOTEBOOK AND ITS OWNERS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEIR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID KWOTEBOOK FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LEGALLY BE LIMITED, INCLUDING WHERE APPLICABLE FOR FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

15. INDEMNIFICATION

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Kwotebook and its owners, affiliates, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from Your Content, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or another person's rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from Kwotebook's own unlawful conduct.

16. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that mandatory consumer-protection laws in your location continue to apply. Before filing a claim, you and Kwotebook agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally by contacting the other party and allowing 30 days for a response. Any unresolved dispute will be brought in a state or federal court in California that has jurisdiction, unless applicable law permits or requires a different forum. Nothing here prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or using small-claims court where eligible.

17. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. If changes materially affect your rights, we will provide notice through the App, website, email, or another reasonable method before they take effect where required. Updated Terms will identify their effective date. By continuing to use the Service after updated Terms take effect, you accept them to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

18. GENERAL TERMS

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Kwotebook regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified only as much as needed and the remaining provisions will remain effective. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or by operation of law. Headings are for convenience only.
