Terms of Service

Inkly operates a marketplace and delivery platform. We are not the author or publisher of the ebooks listed on the platform. Ebooks are uploaded and sold by independent authors ("Authors"), and the contract for the content itself is between you and the Author.

We provide the storefront, the checkout, the file hosting, and the delivery of purchased files.

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account, and old enough to enter a binding contract in your jurisdiction. If you are under the age of majority, you may use Inkly only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information on your account and for keeping your login credentials secure. You must not share your account or impersonate another person.

Prices are shown at checkout and are charged in the currency displayed. Where required, taxes such as VAT are added or included as indicated at checkout.

Ebooks are digital goods delivered by instant download once payment is confirmed. You must have a valid purchase on your account to download a file. Download links are personal to you and time-limited; do not share them.

All sales are subject to our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

• You must be the author of the work, or hold all rights necessary to sell it, including any rights in text, cover art, and any third-party material it contains.
• You grant Inkly a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, display, market, and deliver your ebook on the platform for as long as it is listed.
• You represent that your ebook does not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, or other right, and does not contain unlawful content.
• You indemnify Inkly against claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from content you upload — including any claim that it infringes a third party's rights.
• You are responsible for your own tax reporting and for any required filings in your jurisdiction. Inkly may withhold amounts where the law requires it.
• Inkly may remove a listing, suspend an account, or withhold payouts where we reasonably believe content infringes rights or breaches these Terms.

You agree not to:

• upload or share content you do not have the right to distribute;
• infringe intellectual property, or misrepresent your identity or your rights;
• scrape, resell, or redistribute purchased files, or attempt to bypass download controls;
• upload malware, or interfere with the security or operation of the platform;
• use the platform to harass others or to publish unlawful, defamatory, or hateful content.

The ebooks and their covers remain the property of their Authors and rights holders. Purchasing an ebook gives you a personal, non-transferable licence to read it — not ownership of the copyright.

The Inkly name, branding, and platform design are owned by Inkly and may not be used without permission.

We respond to valid notices of copyright infringement. If you believe content on Inkly infringes your rights, please use our Copyright Policy and report form. We will remove or disable access to material where appropriate and may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

The platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Inkly disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that content uploaded by Authors is accurate, complete, or lawful. We are not responsible for the content of ebooks sold by Authors.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Inkly will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the platform is limited to the greater of the amount you paid to Inkly in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty euros (€50).

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if your account poses a risk to the platform or to other users. You may close your account at any time.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the platform and take effect from the date stated. Continuing to use Inkly after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Inkly is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence are unaffected.

If you are a consumer in the EU, you may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.
