   5.1 By EBOKIO. EBOKIO reserves the right, acting reasonably and subject to applicable mandatory law and at any time, to suspend, restrict, limit, or terminate any Account, or to remove any Listing, content, or access rights, with or without prior notice, where EBOKIO has reasonable grounds to believe that:

You have breached any provision of these Terms or any supplementary policy;

You have engaged in fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful conduct;

You have infringed or are reasonably suspected of infringing any Intellectual Property Rights;

Your use of the Platform poses a security, legal, reputational, or financial risk to EBOKIO, other Users, or third parties;

You are subject to sanctions, regulatory action, or legal process;

Continued access would be contrary to applicable law or a court order;

EBOKIO is required to do so by any competent authority or court.

5.2 Where reasonably practicable and not prohibited by law, EBOKIO will give prior notice of suspension or termination and provide an opportunity to remedy the breach. In cases of serious, repeated, or fraudulent misconduct, EBOKIO may act immediately and without notice.

5.3 Upon termination of an Account, all access rights granted to you under these Terms shall cease immediately. EBOKIO shall not be liable to you for any refund, compensation, or remedy in connection with a lawful termination, save as required by applicable mandatory law.

5.5 By You. You may close your Account at any time by contacting support@ebokio.com or through any account closure mechanism made available on the Website. Closure of your Account shall not extinguish any obligation, liability, or right that has already accrued, including outstanding payment obligations, refund claims, or pending disputes.

5.6 Account Recovery Period (30 Days). If you close or delete your Account, your Account is deactivated immediately and is retained in a restorable state for thirty (30) days. During that period you may restore your Account by logging back in or by contacting support@ebokio.com, and your Account, library, and content will be reinstated. Closing your Account cancels any active subscription immediately, so no further subscription fees will be charged; if you restore your Account within the 30-day period and the subscription period you have already paid for has not yet expired, your subscription and its benefits are reinstated automatically for the remainder of that paid period, and otherwise you will need to subscribe again. After the thirty (30) day period ends, your Account and its associated data are permanently deleted or anonymised and the Account cannot be recovered, except for data EBOKIO is required or permitted to retain under the EBOKIO Privacy Policy and applicable law. If you want your Account and personal data to be deleted immediately, without waiting for the 30-day recovery period, you may ask us to do so by contacting privacy@ebokio.com; this does not affect any data we must retain by law.

5.7 Following Account closure, EBOKIO shall retain your Personal Data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable legal retention requirements.

PART THREE — THE PLATFORM AND MARKETPLACE

1. Nature of the Platform and EBOKIO's Role
   6.1 EBOKIO operates the Platform as a global digital marketplace, through which Sellers publish and offer Digital Content for sale and Buyers purchase and access that content. Depending on the nature and structure of a given Transaction, EBOKIO may act in one or more of the following capacities:

Platform Operator and Marketplace Administrator: Providing the technical infrastructure, tools, and services through which Transactions occur;

Payment Facilitator and Merchant of Record: Processing and collecting payment from Buyers as the Merchant of Record and seller of record, and remitting royalties to Sellers;

Distributor and Delivery Agent: Facilitating the electronic delivery and access of Digital Content to Buyers;

Dispute Intermediary: Administering and resolving disputes, refund claims, and chargebacks between Buyers and Sellers.

6.2 EBOKIO acts as the Merchant of Record for all Transactions on the Platform. This means that, for each sale of Digital Content to a Buyer, EBOKIO is the seller of record and the Buyer's contracting party, and EBOKIO is responsible to the Buyer for the supply of the Digital Content in accordance with these Terms, the Refund and Returns Policy, and applicable consumer law. The underlying Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Content remain with the relevant author, publisher, or Seller, who licenses EBOKIO to sell and distribute the content under the Publisher Agreement. EBOKIO may exercise rights of recovery, set-off, and indemnity against the Seller in respect of refunds, chargebacks, and claims relating to that content.

6.3 Notwithstanding clause 6.2, EBOKIO administers Listings, digital delivery, customer communications, payment processing, fraud checks, disputes, chargebacks, access management, and refund handling as part of operating the Marketplace. Buyers may direct all support enquiries, complaints, and refund requests to EBOKIO via support@ebokio.com, irrespective of whether the Seller is a third party.

6.4 EBOKIO does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, legality, or quality of any Listing or Digital Content uploaded by a Seller. Responsibility for the content of any Listing, including its accuracy, lawfulness, and compliance with these Terms, rests solely with the Seller.

1. Availability and Service Level
   7.1 EBOKIO shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to make the Platform available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, EBOKIO does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free access to the Platform and shall not be liable for any interruption, suspension, or unavailability of the Platform arising from:

Scheduled or emergency maintenance;

Technical failures, software errors, or hardware malfunctions;

Acts or omissions of third-party service providers, including hosting providers (Hostinger International Ltd. and Hetzner Online GmbH), payment processors, CDN providers, or telecommunications carriers;

Cyberattacks, distributed denial-of-service attacks, or other security incidents;

Force majeure events (see clause 28);

Any other cause beyond EBOKIO's reasonable control.

7.2 EBOKIO reserves the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, or remove any feature, function, or service of the Platform at any time and without prior notice, provided that EBOKIO shall use reasonable endeavours to notify Users of material changes where practicable.

PART FOUR — DIGITAL CONTENT, TRANSACTIONS, AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

1. Nature of Digital Products
   8.1 All products sold or made available through the Platform are digital products. These may include ebooks, downloadable files, browser-based reading content, cloud-access content, preview files, bundled digital materials, and other electronically supplied content ("Digital Content"). Because these products are supplied digitally and not as physical goods, they are not eligible for physical return in the same manner as printed books or other tangible items.

8.2 Digital Supply. Digital Content is treated as supplied when it is made available to your Account, your online library, your device, your reader interface, or any other delivery environment used by EBOKIO. Supply may occur by download, browser access, app access, cloud access, account-based unlocking, emailed access link, API-based fulfilment, or another electronic delivery method. Once digital supply begins, the Transaction is treated as having entered the active fulfilment stage for a digital-content contract.

8.3 Licence, Not Sale. Upon completion of a valid Transaction, EBOKIO grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access, read, and use the purchased Digital Content for your own personal, non-commercial purposes only, subject to these Terms and any additional licence terms specified in the Listing. No title, ownership, or Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Content are transferred to you. The rights granted by this licence shall not exceed those expressly set out in these Terms and the applicable Listing.

8.4 Prohibited Uses. Unless expressly permitted by mandatory applicable law or the written consent of the rights holder, you must not:

Copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, or publicly display the Digital Content;

Sell, resell, sublicense, rent, lease, lend, or transfer access to the Digital Content to any third party;

Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with any DRM, watermark, encryption, or other technological protection measure applied to the Digital Content;

Modify, adapt, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works based on the Digital Content;

Upload, post, or share the Digital Content on any file-sharing platform, social media, or other public or private network;

Use the Digital Content for any commercial purpose, training of artificial intelligence systems, or mass reproduction.

8.5 A breach of clause 8.4 constitutes a material breach of these Terms, entitling EBOKIO to immediately terminate your Account, revoke all licences granted to you, seek injunctive relief without bond, and pursue all available legal remedies including damages and account of profits.

8.6 Family Share and Household Sharing. As a limited exception to the restriction on lending and sharing in clause 8.4, EBOKIO may offer Family Share, a household library-sharing feature operated by EBOKIO that allows an EBOKIO Plus subscriber (the “Organizer”) to make eligible titles from their library available for reading by up to four other members of the same household, forming a family of up to five accounts. Family Share is governed by the EBOKIO Household Terms, which form part of these Terms and are incorporated by reference. The Household Terms set out the eligibility and household requirements (including that all members live in the same country as the Organizer and that an account may belong to only one family at a time), the borrowing and simultaneous-device limits, the Organizer’s control over which titles are shared, the privacy of each member’s reading activity, the restrictions on switching families, and the circumstances in which EBOKIO may suspend or remove a family. Titles made available through Family Share are for in-app reading in the EBOKIO reader only; Family Share does not transfer ownership of any Digital Content, does not grant permanent downloads, and does not permit resale, commercial use, or any sharing outside your household. Family Share is a benefit of an active EBOKIO Plus subscription, and the Organizer must maintain that subscription for the family to remain active. Nothing in the Household Terms or this clause excludes or limits any rights you have that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted under applicable consumer protection law.

1. Listings and Product Information
   9.1 Product descriptions, functionality details, compatibility information, access limitations, file type, language, licence scope, DRM or watermark conditions, supported devices, preview content, and other pre-contract information published in a Listing form part of the legal and commercial basis of the Transaction.

9.2 Buyer Responsibilities. Buyers are responsible for reviewing all Listing information carefully before placing an order, including but not limited to: language, format, file type, device compatibility, access method, DRM restrictions, and any content advisory notices.

9.3 Seller Responsibilities. Sellers are responsible for ensuring that all Listings, metadata, samples, rights information, technical representations, and pre-contract disclosures are:

Accurate, complete, and not misleading in any material respect;

Compliant with all applicable laws and these Terms;

Updated promptly whenever any material change occurs.

9.4 A material discrepancy between the Digital Content supplied and the pre-contract information presented at the time of sale may support a remedy under the EBOKIO Refund and Returns Policy.

1. Pricing, Taxes, and Payment
   10.1 Pricing. All prices displayed on the Platform are in the currency specified in the Listing and are inclusive or exclusive of applicable taxes as displayed at checkout. EBOKIO reserves the right to change prices at any time without notice, provided that any change shall not affect a Transaction that has already been confirmed. For consumers, the price shown at checkout is the total amount payable, inclusive of all applicable taxes and any unavoidable charges, and no mandatory charges are added after that price is displayed.

10.2 Payment Processing. All payments are processed securely through third-party payment service providers, including PayPal Europe S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. and Stripe, Inc. (collectively, "Payment Processors"). By completing a purchase, you agree to the applicable terms of service and privacy policies of the relevant Payment Processor. EBOKIO does not store full credit or debit card details on its servers. Payment data is handled directly by the Payment Processors, and EBOKIO receives only limited transaction confirmation and anti-fraud information.

10.3 Accepted Payment Methods. The Platform accepts payment by the methods displayed at checkout from time to time, which may include major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and other digital payment methods as determined by EBOKIO. EBOKIO reserves the right to add, remove, or restrict payment methods at any time.

10.4 Taxes. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, levies, or charges imposed by your country or jurisdiction in connection with your use of the Platform or your purchases. Where EBOKIO is required by law to collect and remit VAT, GST, sales tax, or other applicable taxes, these will be calculated and displayed at checkout. Sellers are independently responsible for their own tax obligations, including income tax, VAT, and any applicable withholding taxes arising from their earnings on the Platform.

10.5 Seller Payouts. Sellers shall receive payouts in accordance with the payout terms communicated in the Seller Dashboard. EBOKIO reserves the right to:

Withhold, delay, offset, or reverse seller payouts where there is a pending dispute, refund claim, chargeback, fraud investigation, or compliance review;

Deduct platform fees, commissions, and any applicable taxes from seller earnings;

Require Sellers to provide valid payout account details, tax identification numbers, and any other information required by applicable law before releasing earnings.

10.6 No Set-Off. Unless required by law, you shall not deduct, withhold, or set off any amounts against sums owed to EBOKIO without EBOKIO's prior written consent.

10.7 Saved Payment Methods, Card Storage, and Recurring Billing. The Platform may allow you to save a payment method (such as a payment card) to your account for future use, including for repeat purchases and for recurring or auto-renewing subscription payments. EBOKIO does not itself store your full card number (PAN), your card security code (CVV/CVC), or any other sensitive authentication data. Where you pay by card, or choose to save a card, your card details are collected, processed, tokenised, and securely stored by Stripe, Inc., acting as our third-party payment service provider, in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and other applicable security standards.

EBOKIO retains only limited, non-sensitive information that is necessary to operate your account and your saved payment methods — namely the card brand or type, the last four digits of the card, the card's expiry month and year, a payment-method reference (token) issued by Stripe, a Stripe customer identifier, and a card fingerprint used to prevent the same card being saved twice. This information cannot, on its own, be used to make a payment or to reconstruct your full card details. Your full card details are held by Stripe at all times, and for some services your saved cards are read directly from Stripe when they are displayed to you.

When you choose to save a payment method, or when you subscribe to any recurring or auto-renewing service (such as a paid publishing plan), you authorise EBOKIO and its Payment Processors to charge that payment method automatically for the applicable fees as they fall due, in accordance with the relevant subscription plan or purchase, until the subscription or your authorisation is cancelled. The amount, billing frequency, and basis of any recurring charge will be those disclosed to you at the time you subscribe or save the payment method.

You can view, update, or remove your saved payment methods at any time from your account settings, and you may cancel a recurring subscription as described in these Terms and the applicable plan terms. Updating or removing a saved payment method, or cancelling a subscription, does not affect any charge that has already fallen due, or any amount you already owe, before the change or cancellation takes effect, and you remain responsible for paying those amounts.

Your use of Stripe’s payment services is also subject to Stripe’s own terms of service and privacy policy, which apply in addition to these Terms. Except to the extent required by applicable law, EBOKIO is not responsible for the independent acts or omissions of Stripe or any other Payment Processor.

10.8 EBOKIO Plus Subscription. EBOKIO Plus is an optional paid subscription for readers that provides subscription benefits, including the Family Share household library-sharing feature described in the EBOKIO Household Terms, together with any other benefits EBOKIO makes available to EBOKIO Plus subscribers from time to time. This clause 10.8 governs the EBOKIO Plus subscription and applies to it in place of the one-off digital-content cancellation rule in clause 11.2.

(a) Fees and billing. The EBOKIO Plus subscription costs £19.99 per month, plus any applicable taxes shown at checkout. Subscription fees are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically at the start of each new month until you cancel. Where required by applicable law, EBOKIO will remind you before a renewal.

(b) 14-day cancellation right (cooling-off). Because EBOKIO Plus is a subscription service, if you are a consumer you have the right to cancel the subscription within 14 days of entering into it under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. If you asked EBOKIO to start the subscription during that 14-day period and you then cancel within it, you may be required to pay a proportionate amount for the service actually provided up to the moment you cancel, and EBOKIO will refund the balance. To exercise this right, contact support@ebokio.com.

(c) Cancellation at any time. You may cancel EBOKIO Plus at any time from your account settings, and cancellation will be at least as easy as subscribing. Apart from the cooling-off right in paragraph (b), cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period for which you have already paid; you keep your EBOKIO Plus benefits until the end of that period, after which the subscription and its benefits end. Except where required by applicable law, subscription fees already paid are non-refundable for the remainder of a paid billing period.

(d) Effect on Family Share. An active EBOKIO Plus subscription is required to operate a family under the EBOKIO Household Terms. If your EBOKIO Plus subscription is cancelled, lapses, or a renewal payment fails, Family Share will end in accordance with the Household Terms. Digital Content you have purchased on your own account is not affected and remains available to you as described in these Terms.

(e) Changes. EBOKIO may change EBOKIO Plus benefits, features, or fees in accordance with clause 25 (Amendments). Any change to the recurring subscription fee will take effect from your next renewal, and EBOKIO will give you advance notice and an opportunity to cancel before the change takes effect.

(f) Statutory rights preserved. Nothing in this clause excludes or limits any non-excludable statutory rights or remedies you may have under applicable consumer protection law.

1. Cancellation Rights and Refunds
   11.1 This clause must be read alongside the EBOKIO Refund and Returns Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms and governs all refund, cancellation, repair, replacement, and remedy procedures in full.

11.2 Cancellation Before Digital Supply. Where mandatory consumer law provides you with a right to cancel an order (for consumers, this is normally a 14-day cancellation period), that right may exist only until digital supply begins. To enable immediate access, EBOKIO will ask you, by a separate affirmative tick box at checkout that is distinct from your acceptance of these Terms, to expressly request immediate access to the Digital Content and to acknowledge that you will lose your 14-day right to cancel once supply begins. Where you give that express request and acknowledgement, you will lose your change-of-mind cancellation right to the extent permitted by applicable law, and your order confirmation, provided on a durable medium, will record that you requested immediate supply and acknowledged the loss of the cancellation right.

11.3 No Change-of-Mind Returns After Access. Once immediate access, download, cloud delivery, or other digital supply has started with your express request and acknowledgment, EBOKIO does not accept returns or refunds based solely on a change of mind. This includes cases where you decide you no longer want the ebook, purchased the wrong title by personal mistake, purchased the same content more than once through your own account activity, or later decide not to read or use the content.

11.4 Statutory Remedies Preserved. Nothing in these Terms or the Refund and Returns Policy excludes or limits any non-excludable statutory rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law where Digital Content is faulty, corrupted, inaccessible, materially incomplete, not of satisfactory quality, not fit for purpose, or not as described.

11.5 Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback, card dispute, PayPal dispute, or similar payment reversal without first contacting EBOKIO and allowing a reasonable period to resolve the matter, EBOKIO may investigate using transaction records, access logs, fraud signals, and seller-side evidence. During that review, access to disputed content, related user privileges, and seller payouts may be suspended. If a chargeback is found to be invalid, abusive, or inconsistent with the facts of supply, EBOKIO reserves the right to contest the dispute and recover sums, fees, administrative losses, and related costs to the extent permitted by law.

11.6 Refunds Where Purchased Content Is Removed. Where EBOKIO removes, or permanently disables your access to, Digital Content you have already purchased because it infringes copyright or other third-party rights, or because it breaches the EBOKIO Content Policy, these Terms, or applicable law, EBOKIO will notify you — for example by email or through your account — that the Digital Content has been removed from your library and that you may request a refund. You are entitled to a refund of the price you paid for that Digital Content; the refund is not automatic and will be provided only where you request it, as set out in the EBOKIO Refund and Returns Policy. This is separate from the position where a Seller voluntarily withdraws a Work or closes their account, in which case Digital Content you have already purchased remains accessible to you. Nothing in this clause excludes or limits any non-excludable statutory rights you have under applicable consumer protection law.

1. Intellectual Property — Platform and EBOKIO Content
   12.1 The Platform, including its design, layout, software, source code, algorithms, databases, trade marks, service marks, logos, trade names, domain names, visual elements, text, graphics, user interface elements, and all other content and materials created by or on behalf of EBOKIO (collectively, "EBOKIO Content"), is protected by Intellectual Property Rights owned by or licensed to EBOKIO LTD.

12.2 Nothing in these Terms transfers any Intellectual Property Rights in EBOKIO Content to you. You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use EBOKIO Content solely for the purpose of using the Platform in accordance with these Terms.

12.3 You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, exploit, scrape, data-mine, or otherwise use EBOKIO Content for any commercial purpose without EBOKIO's prior written consent.

PART FIVE — SELLER OBLIGATIONS AND CONTENT STANDARDS

1. Seller Registration and Verification
   13.1 To list and sell Digital Content on the Platform, you must register as a Seller and comply with all applicable onboarding requirements, which may include provision of tax identification numbers, VAT registration details, payout banking information (account number, sort code, SWIFT/IBAN), and such other information as EBOKIO may reasonably require from time to time. EBOKIO will request identity-verification documents from a Seller only where it has reasonable grounds to doubt the Seller's identity or to address fraud, sanctions, money-laundering, or other legal-compliance risk, or where required to do so by applicable law.

13.2 EBOKIO may conduct identity (Know Your Customer / KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and sanctions-screening checks on a Seller only where it has reasonable grounds to doubt the Seller's identity, or to address fraud, sanctions, money-laundering, or other legal-compliance risk, or where required to do so by applicable law. You agree to cooperate fully with any such verification process and to provide accurate, truthful, and complete documentation upon request.

13.3 EBOKIO reserves the right to suspend or refuse Seller registration acting reasonably and subject to applicable mandatory law and without liability where verification requirements are not satisfied.

1. Seller Content Obligations and Warranties
   14.1 By uploading, publishing, or listing Digital Content on the Platform, you represent, warrant, and undertake on a continuing basis that:

You are the sole and exclusive owner of, or have obtained all necessary rights, licences, permissions, and authorisations from the relevant rights holders to publish, distribute, sell, and make available the Digital Content through the Platform in all territories where the Platform operates;

The Digital Content does not infringe any Intellectual Property Rights, moral rights, right of privacy, right of publicity, or any other right of any third party;

Are accompanied by accurate technical specifications, compatibility information, and access condition disclosures.

14.3 Updates. Where a material error, defect, formatting failure, or inaccuracy is identified in uploaded Digital Content, Sellers must promptly correct and re-upload the affected file at no cost to affected Buyers.

14.4 File Processing. EBOKIO may, without further consent, process uploaded files to render previews and sample pages, convert files between supported formats, extract and process metadata, generate indexes and searchable content, create backup copies, apply DRM or watermarking measures, perform virus and malware scanning, and optimise files for device compatibility, all as necessary to operate the Platform.

1. Prohibited Content
   15.1 Sellers must not upload, publish, list, or distribute any Digital Content that:

Infringes or is reasonably suspected to infringe any copyright, trade mark, patent, database right, or other Intellectual Property Right;
