Terms of Use
Last updated 2026-10-04
These terms govern the use of Open Shelf Codex. By accessing or using the site, you accept them in full. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
§ 1 Scope of the service
Open Shelf Codex is a guide and preview service. It provides catalogue records, summaries and opening chapters for discovery. Complete books are supplied by the official app under its own terms and prices. The site is not responsible for third-party apps, purchases or subscriptions made there.
§ 2 Permitted use of previews
Preview chapters are for personal, non-commercial reading only. You may not copy texts, re-publish them, scrape the site, or use automated means for bulk access. Access is limited to the opening chapters, at most three, as made available on the site.
§ 3 Information accuracy
Information in the catalogue — including chapter counts, summaries and reader codes — is provided as is. It may change or expire without notice. No warranty is given as to accuracy, completeness or availability.
§ 4 Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Open Shelf Codex excludes liability for any loss or damage arising from use of the site or reliance on its records. This does not affect rights that cannot be excluded by law.
§ 5 Referral links
Some links to the official app are referral links. If you follow them and make a purchase, the site may earn a commission. This does not affect the price you pay.
§ 6 Copyright complaints
Copyright complaints follow the takedown procedure set out on the takedown page. Please use that channel for all such notices.
§ 7 Updates to these terms
These terms may be updated. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
