Terms of Service
Last updated: September 9, 2026
By creating an account or using The Readers Collective, you agree to these Terms of Service.
Your Account
You are responsible for the activity on your account and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. Provide accurate account information and do not create accounts for another person without their permission.
Acceptable Use
Use the service respectfully and lawfully. Do not post unlawful, abusive, threatening, harassing, deceptive, or infringing content. Do not attempt to access another account, interfere with the service, or use automated means to abuse the platform.
Your Content
You retain ownership of the content you add, including book notes, reviews, profile content, and messages. You grant us permission to store, process, and display that content only as needed to operate the service and the sharing settings you choose.
Community Features
Friends, book clubs, recommendations, profiles, and messages are provided to support reading communities. You are responsible for content you share with other readers. We may remove content or restrict access that violates these terms or threatens the safety of the community.
Third-Party Services
Optional Google sign-in and book information from ISBNdb are subject to those providers' terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services or the accuracy, availability, or completeness of book-catalog information.
Service Availability
The service is provided as available. Features may change, be interrupted, or be discontinued. To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that the service will always be uninterrupted or error-free.
Termination
You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time through Profile Settings. We may suspend or terminate access when these terms are violated or when necessary to protect the service or its users.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms when the service changes. Updated terms will be posted here with a revised last-updated date. Continuing to use the service after an update means you accept the updated terms.
