Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By downloading or using ZenRead ("the app"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the app. These terms apply to both the free and Pro tiers.

2. The Service

ZenRead is a reading journal that lets you track books, capture quotes (by typing, scanning an ISBN barcode, or photographing a page), organize them into collections, and — with Pro — connect them across your library and sync between devices. The free tier works entirely on your device and offline.

3. Your Content

Your library — the books, quotes, and notes you add — is yours. We claim no ownership of it. On the free tier it stays on your device. If you subscribe to Pro, a copy is stored on our server solely to enable backup and cross-device sync, and you can delete it at any time (see Privacy Policy → Data Deletion).

You are responsible for the content you store. Don't use ZenRead to store or share anything unlawful, or to infringe the rights of others.

4. Pro Subscription & Billing

• Auto-renewing subscription. ZenRead Pro is an auto-renewing subscription billed through your Google Play account. It renews automatically each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Price. The current price and billing period are shown in the app and at checkout, localized to your region by Google Play.
• Cancellation. You can cancel anytime in the Google Play Store under Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep Pro until the end of the period you've already paid for.
• Refunds. Purchases are handled by Google Play and are subject to Google's refund policies. We do not separately process payments or store your card details.
• Promo codes. Redeemed codes grant Pro for a fixed period and do not auto-renew; access ends when the granted period expires.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Reverse-engineer, tamper with, or attempt to bypass the app's paid features or security.
• Use the app to break any law or to infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights.
• Abuse, overload, or attempt to disrupt our servers or services.

6. Third-Party Services

ZenRead relies on third-party services including Google Play (billing and sign-in) and public book-metadata sources (for cover images and ISBN lookup). Your use of those services is also governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services or content.

7. Disclaimer

ZenRead is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We do our best to keep the app and your synced data available and accurate, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Always keep your own backups of anything irreplaceable.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ZenRead and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, arising from your use of the app. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the subscription in the 12 months before the claim.

9. Termination

You may stop using ZenRead at any time and delete your account from Settings → Account → Delete account. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these terms. On termination, your right to use the app ends; the relevant Privacy Policy provisions on data deletion continue to apply.

10. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
