License & Scope of Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, and as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions ("Usage Rules"). This license does not allow you to use the App on any device that you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time.

You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, sublicense, or provide commercial hosting services with the App. You may not copy (except as permitted by this license and the Usage Rules), reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the App.

User Accounts

You may use certain features of the App without an account, with data stored locally on your device. To access cloud synchronization, premium features, and the full library, you must create an account with a valid email address and password.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss resulting from unauthorized use of your account.

Prices are displayed in your local currency and may vary by region. We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. Any price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Your continued use of premium features after a price change constitutes your agreement to pay the new amount.

Refunds

All payments are processed by Apple. To request a refund, contact Apple Support or use Apple's "Report a Problem" feature. We do not process refunds directly. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.

User Content

You retain full ownership of any content you import into the App, including books, documents, bookmarks, highlights, and notes. We do not claim any ownership rights over your content.

By uploading content, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display that content solely for the purpose of providing the App's functionality to you. This license terminates when you delete the content or your account.

You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to use and upload any content you import into the App. You agree not to upload content that infringes upon the intellectual property rights of any third party.

Public Domain Content

Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Rabbit Reader shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the App, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of reading progress, loss of uploaded content, or loss of profits, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory. Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the App shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for the App or subscriptions in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Product Claims

Rabbit Reader, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rabbit Reader and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right; or (d) any content you upload to the App.

Account Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App immediately, without prior notice or liability, if you violate these Terms or engage in conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be harmful to other users, our infrastructure, or our interests.

You may delete your account at any time from the Settings screen in the App. Account deletion permanently removes all your data from our servers, including your profile, books, reading statistics, exercise progress, annotations, and uploaded content. This action cannot be undone. Active subscriptions must be cancelled separately through your Apple ID account settings; account deletion does not automatically cancel your subscription.

Legal Compliance

You represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

You agree to comply with all applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, trade and economic sanctions maintained by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations maintained by the Department of State.

Dispute Resolution

If you have a dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at hello@rabbitreaderapp.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will make good faith efforts to resolve any dispute within 30 days.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York, United States, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. This choice of governing law does not affect your rights as a consumer under the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.

Third-Party Terms of Agreement

You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App. For example, you must not violate your wireless data service agreement when using the App.

Third-Party Beneficiary

You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms within the App and on our website, and updating the "Last updated" date. For significant changes, we will provide at least 30 days' notice before the new terms take effect. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of the revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you should stop using the App.

Severability

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