Terms of Service

By using Open Old Books, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

The service

Open Old Books provides access to public-domain books and lets you create an account to save shelves, ratings, and reviews.

Public-domain content

Books on this site are in the public domain. We don't claim copyright over the underlying texts. Our site design, code, and original content remain our property.

Your account and content

• You're responsible for keeping your account credentials secure.
• You're responsible for reviews and other content you post, and you grant us a non-exclusive license to display it on the site.
• Don't post anything unlawful, harmful, abusive, or that infringes others' rights. We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these terms.

Acceptable use

Don't misuse the service — for example, by scraping it aggressively, attempting to breach security, or interfering with other users.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we're not liable for any damages arising from your use of the service.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept the revised terms.
