Şartlar ve koşullar

The Platform is a peer-to-peer ("P2P") sharing platform that assists users in lending and borrowing physical books free of charge.

The Platform may also allow users, subject to certain conditions, to upload digital book files and enable other users to access or download these files.

The Platform:

The Platform is essentially a technology service facilitating communication and sharing between users.

To use certain features of the Platform, you may need to create an account.

The User agrees and warrants that:

If you believe your account has been used without authorization or its security has been compromised, you must inform the Platform as soon as possible.

The Platform reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts created using inaccurate, misleading, false, or third-party information.

Physical book sharing on the Platform is based on lending, not sales.

The lending relationship formed between the book owner and the borrower is primarily a relationship strictly between these two users.

The Platform does not guarantee:

The book owner and the borrower are responsible for mutually agreeing on delivery terms, meetup location, delivery date, return date, and other conditions.

The borrower is obligated to return the borrowed book on the agreed date and in a reasonable physical condition comparable to how it was received.

Disputes arising from situations such as the book being:

must primarily be resolved between the book owner and the borrower.

The Platform is not responsible for private disputes between the book owner and the borrower.

The Platform may send reminders to the relevant user when necessary or temporarily or permanently restrict their account.

Users may upload content such as book titles, author information, descriptions, photos, comments, reviews, profile information, and other materials to the Platform.

Regarding any content uploaded or shared on or through the Platform, the User declares and warrants that:

This section constitutes one of the most critical usage rules of the Platform.

Users must not upload, share, or offer for download PDF, EPUB, MOBI, AZW, Kindle, or any other digital copies of copyright-protected books on the Platform unless they possess the requisite rights or permissions.

For example, users must not upload:

The fact that a book is available on the internet, downloadable free of charge, or shared on another website does not mean that the book is exempt from copyright protection.

Users should only upload digital books under the following conditions:

In Canada, copyright generally lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years after their death; however, different rules may apply to specific types of works and special circumstances.

The User is responsible for conducting the necessary research rather than assuming a work is in the public domain.

When a user uploads a PDF, EPUB, Kindle, or any other digital file, the user explicitly declares and warrants the following:

“I possess all necessary copyrights, licenses, permissions, and other legal rights to upload this file to the Platform, host it on the Platform, make it accessible to other users, and allow it to be downloaded via the Platform.”

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the uploading user shall be solely liable for all legal consequences arising if this declaration is false, incomplete, or misleading.

The Platform does not warrant that the uploading user holds the copyright or necessary permissions for uploaded content, nor is it obligated to pre-verify the copyright status of every uploaded file.

If an individual or entity believes that content on the Platform infringes their copyright or other intellectual property rights, they may submit a notice to the Platform.

To the extent possible, the notice should include:

The Platform may temporarily or permanently remove content, block access, or suspend user accounts as deemed necessary or appropriate under applicable law.

The Copyright Act of Canada provides a notice mechanism in certain circumstances allowing copyright owners to send notices of claimed infringement to internet services and information location tools. (Department of Justice Canada)

Upon receiving an infringement notice, the Platform may review the relevant content and take appropriate action. Content removal, account termination, or other actions depend on the legal obligations of the Platform and the circumstances of the case.

Users do not transfer ownership or copyright of their uploaded content to the Platform.

However, to operate the Platform and present user-uploaded content in line with its purposes, the User grants the Platform a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to the extent necessary and limited to the provision of Platform services.

This permission may be used specifically to:

This permission does not imply a transfer of content ownership to the Platform.

When a user removes content from the Platform or closes their account, the Platform may retain certain copies for a reasonable period due to technical, legal, security, backup, or record-keeping reasons.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, digital books accessed via the Platform do not transfer copyright or ownership rights to the user.

Downloading a digital book from the Platform does not imply that:

The user must utilize downloaded digital content solely in a manner authorized by the rightsholder and permitted by applicable law.

The following activities are strictly prohibited while using the Platform:

The Platform may, at its sole discretion and within the framework of applicable law, take the following actions:

In cases of copyright infringement, fraud, deception, security breaches, or repeated rule violations, the Platform may terminate accounts.

The Platform is not required in every instance to await a court order or a finalized determination of copyright infringement before removing content.

If a user is alleged or determined to have repeatedly infringed copyright or other intellectual property rights, the Platform may, within the framework of applicable law:

The Platform expects all users to respect the intellectual property rights of third parties.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the User agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Platform, its directors, owners, employees, representatives, contractors, and service providers from and against any reasonable legal claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of or related to their:

The Platform does not warrant or guarantee that:

Any dispute arising between users must primarily be resolved among the respective users themselves.

Physical book handover and return may require in-person meetings between users.

Users must determine meetup locations and times while taking their personal safety into account.

The Platform does not guarantee:

Users remain solely responsible for their own safety and personal decisions.

Book titles, author names, descriptions, photos, book conditions, user reviews, dates, and other user-generated information on the Platform are provided by the respective users.

The Platform does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of user-provided information.

Users are responsible for exercising due care when making decisions based on information provided by another user.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Platform provides its services on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis.

The Platform does not warrant that the service will operate:

Any risk arising from reliance on information or user content on the Platform rests solely with the user.

This section does not eliminate consumer protection rights or mandatory legal rights that cannot be disclaimed under applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Platform, its owners, directors, employees, representatives, and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

Nothing in these Terms aims to exclude or limit liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to mandatory consumer protection provisions, the total liability of the Platform arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the use of the Platform shall not exceed the total amount paid by the user to the Platform in the twelve months preceding the claim.

If no payment has been made by the user to the Platform, total liability is limited to CAD $100, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

This limitation does not apply to liabilities that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

The Platform may utilize hosting services, map services, email services, authentication systems, payment systems, analytics tools, or other third-party services.

The availability, accuracy, or uninterrupted operation of these services is not guaranteed by the Platform.

Third-party services may be subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies.

The Platform may at any time:

Continuity of the Platform or perpetual availability of any feature is not guaranteed.

A user may close their account at any time.

The Platform may also suspend or terminate accounts due to violations of these Terms, illegal activities, security risks, copyright infringement, fraud, abuse, or other reasonable grounds.

Account closure does not eliminate obligations incurred prior to closure.

Provisions regarding copyright, indemnification, limitation of liability, dispute resolution, and other provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall remain in effect after account closure.

The collection, use, storage, and sharing of personal data by the Platform are governed by a separate Privacy Policy.

Users must review the Privacy Policy prior to using the Platform.

These Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy shall be evaluated together.

When using the Platform, the User is obligated to comply with Canadian federal laws, applicable laws of Ontario, and other legal regulations governing them.

The User acknowledges that the Platform does not grant them any right to violate laws or infringe upon third-party rights.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

Disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the use of the Platform shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in Ontario, subject to mandatory rules of law.

This provision does not deprive consumers of non-waivable statutory rights in their place of residence.

To the extent possible, users should contact the Platform to seek resolution before initiating formal legal proceedings.

For copyright or other intellectual property claims, rightsholders may submit notifications via the Platform’s designated communication channel.

The Platform may update these Terms from time to time.

New Terms become effective upon publication on the Platform or as of the stated effective date.

For material changes, users may be notified to the extent required by applicable law.

Continued use of the Platform following changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible or severed to the extent necessary, while all other provisions remain in full force and effect.

The failure of the Platform to enforce any provision of these Terms at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or of the right to enforce it in the future.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and other explicitly stated policies and rules on the Platform, constitute the entire agreement governing the relationship between the user and the Platform.

In the event of an explicit conflict between these documents, policies specifically prepared for a subject matter shall take precedence to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Upon registering on the Platform or uploading digital books, obtaining the following user acknowledgments is recommended:

General Terms of Use

☐ I have read and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Digital Content Declaration

☐ I declare that the digital book or file I upload does not violate copyright and that I possess the necessary rights and permissions to upload this content to the Platform and make it available to other users.

Liability Declaration

☐ I understand that I may be personally liable if content I upload infringes upon the copyrights or other legal rights of third parties.

Digital Content Usage Declaration

☐ I agree to use digital books downloaded from the Platform solely in a manner authorized by the rightsholder and permitted by applicable law.

These Terms have been prepared to mitigate risks for the Platform arising from user-uploaded content; however, no terms of use can automatically exempt the Platform or its managers from all potential liabilities under applicable law.

Under Canadian and Ontario law, fully excluding certain liabilities by contract may not be legally enforceable. Therefore, liability limitations in these Terms apply “to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.”

The management of the Platform does not guarantee the legal compliance of user-uploaded content, and personal liability arising from user copyright infringements belongs to the respective user under applicable law.
