The rules of the shelf.

By using MyBooks you agree to these terms. They're written to be readable, not to trap you — if something isn't clear, email us.

MyBooks is a personal reading companion. You need an account to use it. You're responsible for keeping your login details secure.

You must be old enough to enter into a contract under the laws of your country. If you're using MyBooks on behalf of an organisation, you're agreeing to these terms on its behalf.

Please don't use MyBooks to:

• Scrape, crawl, or bulk-extract data from the service.
• Attempt to access another user's account or data.
• Reverse-engineer or interfere with the service's operation.
• Use the service in any way that violates applicable law.

We may suspend or remove accounts that violate these rules.

Everything you add to MyBooks — your library, reviews, ratings, and notes — belongs to you. We don't claim ownership of it.

By saving content to MyBooks you grant us a limited licence to store and display it to you across the service. We don't use your content for advertising or sell it to third parties.

You can export or delete your data at any time from Profile → Data & privacy.

MyBooks has a free tier and optional paid plans. Payments are processed by Stripe — we don't see or store your card details. Prices are shown in the currency Stripe selects for your region and include VAT where applicable.

Paid plans are subscriptions that renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from Profile → Billing → Manage subscription. Cancellation stops the next renewal — your plan stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for. We don't refund partial periods.

One-time top-ups (extra message bundles) are non-refundable once applied to your account, because they're consumed immediately.

EU / EEA consumers — right of withdrawal. By starting a subscription or buying a top-up you expressly request that the digital service begin immediately, and you acknowledge that you therefore lose your statutory 14-day right of withdrawal under EU and Norwegian consumer law for the portion of the service that has already been performed. If you cancel within the first 14 days we will, on request, refund any unused portion of a subscription you haven't yet used meaningfully — at our discretion and in good faith.

If you believe you've been charged in error, email [email protected] within 30 days and we'll sort it out.

We may change prices or plan features. If we do, we'll email you at least 14 days before the change takes effect on your account, so you can cancel before the next renewal if you'd rather not continue.

MyBooks is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We work to keep it accurate, fast, and online, but we can't guarantee uninterrupted service or that any given recommendation will fit you — the chat assistant uses AI, and AI is occasionally wrong. Treat its suggestions as a librarian's opinion, not a fact-checked source.

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the service is capped at the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. For free accounts that cap is zero.

We're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses — for example lost data, lost profits, or downtime caused by a third-party service we depend on (Stripe, our LLM provider, our cloud host, our email provider).

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or anything that cannot be excluded under applicable law. If you're a consumer in the EU/EEA, your statutory rights — including under Norwegian consumer law — remain unaffected.

These terms are governed by Norwegian law. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Oslo, Norway.
