Terms of Use

Welcome to BookScribes – Please Read the Ground Rules!

Hey reader! Thanks for stopping by BookScribes. These Terms of Use aren’t meant to be a snooze-fest—they’re just the essential guidelines that keep our little corner of the bookish internet respectful, legal, and enjoyable for everyone.

By using this website, you agree to the terms below.

1. Who We Are & What We Do

BookScribes (accessible at www.bookscribes.com) is a WordPress website dedicated to providing book reviews, recommendations, summaries, and related literary content. We are also an affiliate marketing website, meaning we may earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through our links (full details in our Disclaimer).

2. Intellectual Property – Our Words, Your Respect

Our Content: All the text, images, graphics, reviews, summaries, and logos you see here (unless otherwise stated) are the property of BookScribes or our content creators. You’re welcome to be inspired, but you may not copy, republish, or redistribute our content for commercial purposes without our explicit written permission.
Your Comments: We love when you join the conversation! By posting a comment, you grant us a non-exclusive license to display that comment on our site. Please keep comments respectful and on-topic. We reserve the right to remove any comment we deem spammy, abusive, or inappropriate.

3. Affiliate Links & How They Work

To support the site, we use affiliate links (primarily through the Amazon Associates program). Clicking these links and making a purchase may earn us a small commission—at no extra cost to you. This is how we fund our coffee, hosting, and endless book purchases. Our reviews remain honest and are never influenced by potential earnings.

4. What We DON’T Provide (The Important Legal Bit)

We are not professional literary critics, financial advisors, doctors, or lawyers. Our content is for informational and entertainment purposes only. Book summaries and reviews are our interpretations and should not replace reading the actual book.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information on the site. You rely on our content at your own risk.
Any book recommendations, especially in genres like health, finance, or law, are for general interest. Always seek advice from a qualified professional for matters that affect your personal well-being or finances.

Use it for lawful purposes only.
Not engage in any activity that could damage, disable, or impair the site.
Understand that your use of any information on this site is solely at your own discretion.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BookScribes and its creators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of, or inability to use, this website or its content. This includes any errors or omissions in the content.

7. External Links

Our site contains links to other websites (like retailers, authors, or other blogs). We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. You click on external links at your own risk.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. We’ll post the new version here with an updated “Last Revised” date. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept those changes.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of [Your Country/State, e.g., India, or the State of California], without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
