Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of https://nextreadclub.org (the "Site"). The Site is run by Next Read Club, the public name of an independent project operated by an individual (not an incorporated company). By using the Site or creating an account, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

What this Site is

Next Read Club is a book discovery service: recommendations matched to your mood, personal libraries, reviews and reader profiles. We do not sell books or process payments. When we link to a retailer such as Amazon, the purchase happens on their site. The Site is intended for people in the United States and Canada. If you use it from elsewhere, you are responsible for following the laws that apply to you.

Accounts

• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. By ticking the box at registration, you state that you are. We do not independently verify age. If the law where you live requires a parent's or guardian's permission for someone your age to use an online service, you must have it.
• Give accurate information, keep your sign-in credentials secure, and keep one account per person. You are responsible for activity on your account.
• You can delete your account at any time in Settings.
• We may suspend or remove accounts that break these Terms or the Community Guidelines, or that put the Site or other people at risk.

Your content

"Your content" means reviews, ratings, bios, favorite quotes, usernames and anything else you submit to the Site.

• You own it. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display and distribute it on the Site as your settings allow, and to make the technical copies needed to operate the Site. The license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies kept by our providers and content that others have lawfully shared.
• You promise that your content is yours to share, is honest, and does not break the law or anyone's rights.
• Not allowed: spam, advertising or links (links are blocked in reviews and bios); affiliate or referral links; reviews written in exchange for payment or free products without clear disclosure; harassment, hate, threats, sexual content involving minors, or anything illegal; impersonation; other people's personal information; and unmarked spoilers.
• Moderation. We may hide, edit or remove content and act on accounts at our discretion, and we have no duty to monitor everything. You can report a review with the Report button.

Recommendations and book information

Recommendations, match percentages, descriptions and "why we recommend this book" text reflect our own editorial judgment and a simple scoring system based on the choices you make in the quiz. They are opinions, not guarantees that you'll enjoy a given book, and not professional advice of any kind. Book details are compiled from third-party sources. We try to keep them accurate but do not guarantee that they are complete or correct.

Third-party links and affiliate links

The Site links to third-party websites. We don't control and aren't responsible for their content, policies, pricing, product availability or practices. Some links to Amazon are affiliate links (see our Affiliate Disclosure). Visiting a linked site is at your own discretion and subject to that site's own terms and privacy policy.

Intellectual property

The Site's design, original text (including book descriptions and "why we recommend" copy) and the Next Read Club name and branding belong to Next Read Club unless otherwise noted. Book covers, titles and related metadata belong to their respective publishers, authors and rights holders, and are used here for identification and editorial commentary. You may not reproduce, redistribute or create derivative works from the Site's original content without permission, except for personal, non-commercial use (such as sharing a link to a book page).

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, email alejogonzalezworks@gmail.com with the details: what the content is, where it appears on the Site, and why you believe it infringes your rights. We will review the request.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Disrupt, overload or interfere with the Site's normal operation;
• Scrape or bulk-download the catalog, or other users' content, for a competing service without permission;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its systems;
• Use the Site to distribute malware, spam or unlawful content.

No warranty

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the extent permitted by law. We don't guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Next Read Club and the individual who operates it will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, including anything that happens on a third-party site reached through a link on the Site. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you may have under mandatory law where you live.

Changes and termination

We may change the Site or these Terms. If a change is material, we will say so on the Site, and we may also notify account holders by email or with a notice on the Site. Continuing to use the Site after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. We may suspend or end the Site or any feature.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Colombia, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. If you use the Site as a consumer or as a person with privacy rights under the law of another country, state or province, mandatory protections that apply where you live may still apply to you. Choosing the law of Colombia does not waive or override them.
