Welcome to Readily! These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and Readily ("Readily", "we", "us", "our") and govern your use of the Readily mobile app, the website myreadily.com and related services (together, the "Service").
By downloading, accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have under the consumer laws of the country where you live that cannot be excluded by contract.
1. Who can use Readily
- You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.
- If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you may use the Service only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use, including any purchases.
- Some stories contain mature content and are labelled as such. Please choose stories that are right for you.
2. Your account
- You can read as a guest, but some features (such as syncing your library, coins and comments) need an account.
- Give us accurate information and keep it up to date.
- Keep your password secure. You are responsible for activity on your account. Tell us straight away at hello@myreadily.com if you think someone else has used it.
- One person per account. Do not sell, share or transfer your account.
- You can delete your account at any time (see our Privacy Policy).
3. Stories and our content
All stories, chapters, cover art, logos, designs, text, graphics and software in the Service ("Readily Content") belong to Readily or to the authors and licensors who allow us to publish them, and are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws.
We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to read Readily Content inside the Service for your own personal, non-commercial enjoyment, as long as you follow these Terms. You must not:
- copy, download, reproduce, translate, adapt, sell, publish or distribute Readily Content, including by sharing screenshots or screen recordings of chapters publicly;
- scrape, crawl or use bots or automated tools to access the Service or collect content;
- reverse-engineer, decompile or try to extract the source code of the app, except where the law expressly allows it;
- get around paywalls, locks, ad limits or other technical measures; or
- use the Service in any unlawful, harmful or fraudulent way, or in a way that could damage, overload or impair it.
We may add, change or remove stories and features at any time, for example when a licence ends.
4. Coins, purchases and subscriptions
Coins. Coins are a virtual item used to unlock chapters inside the app. You can buy coins or earn them (for example, by watching rewarded ads).
- Coins have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be transferred, sold or gifted to another account.
- Coins are a limited licence to use a feature of the Service. They are not money or property, and you do not own them.
- Unused coins are lost if your account is deleted or terminated for breaking these Terms.
- We may change the price of coins and the number of coins needed to unlock content. A change does not affect chapters you have already unlocked.
- Once a chapter is unlocked, it stays unlocked for your account for as long as the story is available in the Service.
Purchases through Apple. All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple's terms and payment policies. We do not receive or store your payment details.
Subscriptions (if offered). Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your iPhone's Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel a subscription. The price, billing period and what is included are shown before you buy.
Refunds. Except where the law says otherwise, purchases are final and non-refundable. Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. If a purchase does not arrive in your account or something goes wrong, contact us and we will help.
Your consumer rights.
- EU and UK: when you buy coins or unlock content, you ask us to provide digital content immediately and you acknowledge that you lose your 14-day right of withdrawal once the content has been supplied. Your other statutory rights, for example if digital content is faulty, are not affected.
- Australia: our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies those guarantees.
5. Rewarded ads
The app offers optional rewarded ads. When you watch an ad to the end, you receive the reward shown (for example, coins), once our ad partner confirms the view. Rewards are subject to daily limits. Rewards earned through fraud, automation, emulators, VPNs or other methods used to get around these limits may be removed, and we may suspend accounts involved.
6. Your ratings, reviews and comments
You may post ratings, reviews and comments ("User Content"). You keep ownership of your User Content. By posting it, you give Readily a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, reproduce, adapt (for example, for formatting) and distribute it in connection with operating and promoting the Service. This licence ends when you delete the User Content or your account, except where others have already seen it, it is kept in backups for a limited time, or we must keep it by law.
You must not post User Content that:
- is hateful, harassing, bullying, threatening, discriminatory or sexually explicit, or that sexualises minors in any way;
- reveals someone else's personal or private information ("doxxing");
- is spam or advertising, or promotes piracy or links to pirated content;
- spoils stories without warning in a way intended to disrupt other readers;
- infringes anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights; or
- is unlawful or encourages illegal activity.
We may review, refuse, hide or remove User Content and restrict or suspend accounts that break these rules. We are not required to monitor User Content and are not responsible for it. To report content or another user, email hello@myreadily.com.
7. Copyright complaints
We respect the rights of authors and creators. If you believe content in the Service infringes your copyright, email hello@myreadily.com with the subject "Copyright complaint" and include:
- your name, contact details and your physical or electronic signature;
- a description of the copyrighted work;
- where the material appears in the Service (story title, chapter, or link);
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law; and
- a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.
We will review notices promptly and remove or disable access to infringing material where appropriate, and may close the accounts of repeat infringers.
8. Suspension and termination
You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time.
We may suspend or close your account, or limit your access, if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, if required by law, or to protect other users or the Service. Where reasonable, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond. If we close the Service entirely, we will give reasonable advance notice in the app.
9. Changes to the Service and these Terms
We are always improving Readily, so features may change. We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect new features or legal requirements. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app or by email before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, the updated Terms apply. If you do not agree, you can stop using the Service and delete your account.
10. Disclaimers
We work hard to keep Readily available and working well, but the Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we do not promise that it will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, or that any particular story will remain available.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- Readily is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive losses, or for loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service; and
- our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD $50 (or the equivalent in your currency).
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law. If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, we are responsible for foreseeable loss and damage caused by our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. If you are in Australia, our liability for failing to meet a consumer guarantee is limited, where the law allows, to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again.
12. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to compensate Readily for reasonable claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your User Content or from your intentional breach of these Terms.
13. Apple App Store terms
If you downloaded the app from Apple's App Store:
- These Terms are between you and Readily only, not Apple. Readily, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
- Readily, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection or privacy claims, and claims that the app infringes someone's intellectual property rights.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You must also comply with Apple's Usage Rules and any third-party terms that apply when using the app.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, once you accept them, Apple may enforce them against you.
14. Governing law and disputes
If you have a problem, please contact us first at hello@myreadily.com. Most issues can be resolved quickly and informally.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the country (and, in the United States, the state) where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts of the place where you live. This does not take away any mandatory protections you have under your local consumer laws. EU residents may also use the EU's online dispute resolution information at consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu.
15. General
- These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Readily about the Service.
- If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
- If we do not enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later.
- You may not transfer your rights under these Terms to anyone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations to another organisation, for example if Readily is sold, provided this does not reduce your rights.
