Terms of Use

Book Tanuk, by Tellwright Multimedia LLC. Effective date: [OWNER: the effective date, for example the day these pages go live].

These terms are the rules for using Book Tanuk. We have kept them short and plain. Please read them, because by creating an account or using Book Tanuk, you agree to them.

1. About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Tellwright Multimedia LLC ("we", "us"), the company that makes Book Tanuk. They cover the Book Tanuk app for iPhone, iPad and Android, the web pages that show lists families share, and Book Tanuk's pages on our website, tellwrightmedia.com.

Our Privacy Policy explains what we keep about you and your family and how we use it. Please read it with these terms.

2. Who can use Book Tanuk

• Book Tanuk is for adults. To create an account, you must be at least 18 and an adult where you live (in some places, such as some Canadian provinces, that is 19).
• Children must not create accounts. A parent adds children to the family as profiles; children don't sign in.
• Each account is for one person. Use your own details, and keep them accurate.
• If you set up a family, you decide who joins it. You are responsible for inviting only people who should see your family's whole library, including your children's details.

3. Your account

• You can sign in with Apple, with Google, or with an email address and password.
• Keep your sign-in safe, and don't share your password. Tell us at once if you think someone else has used your account.
• We may email you about your account, for example to confirm your address, to reset your password, or to tell you about an important change to Book Tanuk or these terms.

4. Families and roles

A family is one shared library. The person who sets it up is its owner. Everyone in a family can see everything in it, as the Privacy Policy explains. What each person can change depends on their role:

• Owner: everything, including changing people's roles and removing people.
• Co-parent: full access to books, children and sharing. Only the owner changes roles.
• Caregiver (for example a grandparent or a sitter): adds books and edits them, including taking a child or a tag off a book, but can't delete books, children or tags, add or change children, or share.
• Viewer (for example a teacher or tutor): can look but not change anything.

The owner can't leave the family. Anyone else can leave at any time. Books and other things you add to someone else's family stay with that family if you leave.

Important: until a planned update lets owners hand a family to someone else, deleting the owner's account deletes the family's library for everyone in it.

5. Using Book Tanuk without an account

You can use Book Tanuk without an account. Your library is then kept only on that phone. We don't have a copy. So it is lost if the phone is lost or reset, or the app is deleted. (On iPhone and iPad, the phone's own backup may hold a copy.) Inviting family and sharing links need an account. You can create one at any time, and your library is then saved to it.

6. What you add, and the permission you give us

• What you add to Book Tanuk (books, notes, tags, places, children's details, photos and the names you type) stays yours.
• You give us permission to store it and back it up. You also let us copy it to your family's phones and make smaller copies of photos. And you let us show it to the people you choose, such as your family and the people you send a link. We use this permission only to run Book Tanuk for you. It ends when the content is deleted, apart from the hidden records and backups the Privacy Policy describes.
• Only add photos and text you have the right to use. You are responsible for what you add.
• We may remove content that is unlawful or breaks these terms. When we do, we tell you, unless the law doesn't let us.

7. Shared links and the wishlist

• A view-only link shows the list you chose to anyone who has it, without an account. They can pass it on. You can give a link an end date, and turn it off at any time.
• Gift claims on a wishlist ("I'll get this one") help people avoid buying the same book twice. A claim is not a promise to buy, and nobody has to buy anything. We are not part of any gift.
• The name someone types when they claim a gift is seen by everyone in the family, as the Privacy Policy explains.

8. Fair use

Please use Book Tanuk the way it is meant to be used. Don't:

• break the law, or anyone else's rights, such as copyright or privacy;
• harass, threaten or harm anyone, including in names, notes or gift claims;
• add content that is illegal, hateful or sexual;
• try to guess links or invitation codes, get into accounts or families that aren't yours, or get around limits such as the number of tries allowed;
• copy Book Tanuk's content with automated tools, overload or disrupt it, or test its security without our written permission (if you find a security problem, please tell us at support.booktanuk@tellwrightmedia.com);
• copy, change or take apart the app, except where the law allows it;
• sell, rent or resell Book Tanuk or access to it, or use it to send spam.

9. Book details and covers

Book details and covers come from Open Library, a free public catalog run by the Internet Archive, and from what families type in. They are sometimes wrong or missing, so check anything that matters to you, such as the ages a book suits. Covers are the work of their publishers and artists, and Book Tanuk shows them only to help you recognize your books. Book Tanuk is not part of Open Library.

10. The family plan

This section applies only once we offer a paid family plan. Nothing in Book Tanuk costs money yet. Before the plan starts, we will update these terms and tell you.

The options

• Yearly: US$19.99 a year, with the first month free.
• Monthly: US$2.99 a month.
• One-time: US$79.99, paid once.

In Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the App Store and Google Play set the price in your currency, with any taxes, and show it before you buy.

What it covers

• The plan adds the features listed on the plan screen in the app before you buy. Adding books, sharing with your family and the wishlist stay free.
• One purchase covers every adult in your family, on any phone, for as long as the person who paid is a member of the family.
• The one-time purchase covers your family for as long as we offer Book Tanuk, not for anyone's lifetime. The plan's features can change, as sections 12 and 13 explain.
• If your plan ends, your family keeps its library. Only the plan's features stop.

Paying, renewing and the free month

• You buy the plan through your App Store or Google Play account, and Apple or Google charges you under their terms. We never see your card details.
• The yearly and monthly plans renew automatically at the end of each period, and the store charges you for the next one. To stop this, cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.
• The yearly plan's free month is offered once. When it ends, it becomes a paid year and the store charges you, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the free month ends.
• If we raise a price, the store tells you ahead of time, as its rules and the law require. A new price applies only from a renewal after that notice, and you can cancel before it does.

Cancelling

• On an iPhone or iPad: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Book Tanuk and cancel. Or visit your App Store subscriptions. Apple explains the steps in Cancel a subscription from Apple.
• On Android: open the Google Play app, tap your profile picture, then Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Choose Book Tanuk and cancel. Google explains the steps in Cancel, pause, or change a subscription on Google Play.
• Cancelling stops the next renewal. You keep the plan until the end of the period you paid for.
• Deleting the app, or your Book Tanuk account, does not cancel a subscription. Cancel it in the store first.
• If you get a new phone, use Restore purchases on the plan screen.

Refunds

• App Store purchases: only Apple can give refunds. See Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple.
• Google Play purchases: Google may give a refund itself soon after you buy. See Google Play's refund policies. After that, write to us. Before the family plan starts, we will set out here when we give refunds for Google Play purchases.
• Cancelling doesn't refund the period you are in, except where the store's rules or the law say otherwise. Nothing here limits any refund you are entitled to under consumer law.

11. Shopping links

Later, some wishlist books may have links to buy them from Bookshop.org. We would earn a small commission if you buy through one. Each such link will be labeled where it appears. Purchases happen on Bookshop.org, under its own terms. There are no shopping links in Book Tanuk yet.

12. Changes

• We keep improving Book Tanuk, so its features may change. While you have a paid family plan, including a one-time purchase, we won't take away one of its features without telling you at least 30 days ahead.
• If we change these terms in a way that matters, we will tell you before the change takes effect, by email or in the app. If the change is worse for you, we tell you at least 30 days ahead, unless it is needed sooner for legal or security reasons. If you don't agree, you can stop using Book Tanuk and delete your account, and cancel any plan without penalty. If you cancel a yearly plan for that reason, you can ask us to refund the part you haven't used (section 13).
• A change doesn't apply to a dispute that started before it.

13. Ending

• You can stop using Book Tanuk and delete your account at any time.
• We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, or when we must to protect other people or obey the law. Where we can, we tell you first, explain why, and give you a chance to save a copy of your library.
• If we ever stop running Book Tanuk, we will tell you at least 30 days ahead, unless something outside our control stops us sooner. Either way, we will tell you as soon as we can and give you a way to save a copy of your library.
• You can ask us for a refund of the part you haven't used if we stop running Book Tanuk or take away a family plan feature, or if you cancel a yearly plan because you don't agree with a change to these terms. This applies while you are in a paid period, or within 12 months of a one-time purchase. For a one-time purchase, the part you haven't used is its price spread evenly over its first 12 months: 6 months after you bought it, that is half the price. We refund Google Play purchases ourselves. For App Store purchases, only Apple can give a refund, and we will support your request to Apple.
• What happens to your information when an account ends is in the Privacy Policy.

14. Our responsibility to you

We work hard to keep Book Tanuk running and your library safe. But we can't promise that it will always be available, that it will be free of mistakes, or that information will never be lost.

Keep your own copy of anything important: in the app, Settings, then Export as a spreadsheet.

As far as the law allows, Book Tanuk is provided as it is, without promises beyond the ones in these terms. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for losses we couldn't reasonably have foreseen, or that come from events outside our reasonable control. If we are responsible for a loss, the most we pay for all claims together is US$50, or what you paid for Book Tanuk in the 12 months before the claim, if that is more. This limit doesn't apply to loss caused by our negligence (our carelessness). None of these limits apply to anything the law doesn't let us limit, such as fraud, or death or injury.

Your consumer rights come first. Consumer laws give you rights that a contract can't take away. Examples are the guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law and New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act, and consumer protection laws in Canada (including Quebec) and in US states. Nothing in these terms limits those rights.

15. Which law applies

If something goes wrong, please write to us first. Most problems can be sorted out quickly.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington and the federal laws of the United States. Disputes go to the courts of Lewis County, Washington, or to a small claims court where you live.

If you live outside the United States, you keep the protection of your local consumer laws that a contract can't take away. You can also bring a claim in your local courts.

16. The App Store and Google Play

• If you downloaded Book Tanuk from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to the app. If Apple's agreement and these terms say different things, these terms apply, unless Apple's agreement gives you more protection.
• Apple and Google are not part of these terms, and they are not responsible for Book Tanuk or for supporting it. Write to us instead.

17. Other things

• If a court finds part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
• If we don't act on a breach straight away, we can still act on it later.
• If Book Tanuk is ever sold, we may pass these terms to the new owner, and we will tell you first. Your rights under them stay the same.
