Terms of Use — Magibook

Last updated: 17 September 2026

Effective: 17 September 2026 for new users. For users who subscribed before that date, these Terms take effect on 17 October 2026.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Magibook Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its registered office at 850 New Burton Road, Suite 201, Dover, Kent County, Delaware 19904 ("Magibook", "we", "us", "our").

They govern your use of magibook.co, the Magibook iOS application, and everything we provide through them — the adapted texts, the reading tools, our emails and our support (together, the "Service").

Please read Section 12 (disclaimers), Section 13 (limitation of liability) and Section 17 (disputes and arbitration). Section 17 requires most disputes between you and Magibook to be resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court, and waives your right to a jury trial and to take part in a class action. You may opt out of Section 17 within 30 days at no cost and without affecting your subscription — Section 17.7 explains how.

1. These Terms

1.1 By creating an account, downloading the app, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to them, do not use the Service.

1.2 Our Privacy Policy, at magibook.co/privacy-policy, explains what personal information we collect and how we use it. It forms part of these Terms.

1.3 We may change these Terms. If a change materially reduces your rights or increases your obligations, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email and in the app before it takes effect, and you may cancel before then without penalty. For smaller changes we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it.

1.4 If you use the Service through a school or other institution, Section 8 also applies. Where a written agreement between us and that institution conflicts with these Terms, that agreement governs.

2. What Magibook is, and what it is not

2.1 Magibook takes complete literary works and adapts them into versions written at different reading levels, broadly aligned to the CEFR scale from A1 to C2. We adapt and rewrite full books. We do not produce summaries, study notes, or abridgements presented as the original. Each adapted text aims to carry the story, characters and events of the original into language suited to the chosen level.

2.2 Adaptations are produced using automated systems, including artificial intelligence, under our editorial process. An adaptation is a new work derived from an original. It will differ from the original in wording, and may differ in nuance, detail or emphasis. If you need an author's exact words, read the original edition.

2.3 Reading levels are guidance, not assessment. A CEFR label describes the language we aimed at when adapting a text. It is not a diagnostic tool, not a certified reading assessment, and not a substitute for evaluation by a teacher, educational psychologist or other qualified professional. Do not rely on Magibook to identify, diagnose or measure a reading difficulty.

2.4 If you find an adaptation that misrepresents its source, contains errors, or does not match the level it carries, please tell us at contact@magibook.co. We will review it.

2.5 We may add titles, remove them, and change how the Service works. Where we permanently remove something substantial that you are paying for, Section 9.7 explains what happens.

3. Who may use Magibook

3.1 Magibook is made for readers of all ages, including young children. The account is held by an adult: you must be 18 or over to create a Magibook account, accept these Terms and pay for a subscription. Children use Magibook on an adult's account, with Kids Mode switched on. A child cannot create an account of their own.

3.2 Children using your account. If you let a child use Magibook on your account, you are responsible for how they use it, and you accept these Terms on your own behalf and on theirs. Switch on Kids Mode and set a PIN before handing the device to a child.

3.3 Schools. Schools may licence Magibook for their pupils under Section 8. The school decides how its pupils reach the Service, and is responsible for obtaining any parental consent required by the law that applies to it.

3.4 You may not use the Service if the law of your country prohibits it, if you are located in a country subject to a United States government embargo or designated by the United States government as supporting terrorism, or if you are named on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

3.5 We may suspend or close an account that breaches these Terms. Unless the breach is serious or we are legally required to act at once, we will tell you what the problem is and give you a chance to put it right.

4. Children, Kids Mode and choosing what to read

4.1 Magibook adapts classic literature. Many of these works deal with difficult subjects, and some reflect the attitudes and language of the period in which they were written. Adapting a book to a lower reading level changes its language. It does not remove its subject matter. A simply written version of a novel may still describe events a particular child is not ready for.

4.2 Kids Mode. Kids Mode restricts the catalogue to titles we consider broadly suitable for younger readers, and our lower reading levels are written in age-appropriate language. Kids Mode is a tool to help you choose. It is not a guarantee, and it is not a substitute for your own judgement. Children differ in age, maturity and sensitivity, and we do not know your child. We do not promise that every title available in Kids Mode will be suitable for every child who can reach it.

4.3 Kids Mode is protected by a PIN you set. Keep it private: anyone who has it can switch Kids Mode off and reach the whole catalogue. We recommend that a parent, guardian or teacher looks at a title before giving it to a child, particularly for younger or more sensitive readers.

4.4 Tell us when we get it wrong. If you think a title available in Kids Mode is unsuitable, or that an adaptation handles difficult material badly, write to contact@magibook.co. We review every report of this kind and will remove or re-level a title where we agree.

4.5 Nothing in this Section 4 limits your rights under Section 12.3 or Section 13.1.

5. Your account

5.1 Give us accurate information when you register and keep it up to date. You are responsible for what happens under your account, including anything a child does on it.

5.2 Keep your login details private. Tell us promptly at contact@magibook.co if you think someone else has access to your account.

5.3 Service messages. We will send you messages needed to run the Service — billing confirmations, security alerts, and notice of changes to these Terms. You cannot opt out of these while you hold an account.

5.4 Marketing. We will send you marketing email only if you have chosen to receive it. You can change your mind at any time using the unsubscribe link or in your account settings, and doing so will not affect your subscription.

5.5 Closing your account. You may delete your account at any time from within the app, or by writing to contact@magibook.co. Deleting your account removes your reading data as described in the Privacy Policy. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription — see Section 9.5.

6. Content and intellectual property

6.1 The original works. The literary works we adapt are in the public domain. We claim no rights in those original works, and nothing in these Terms restricts what you may do with an original work from any other source.

6.2 Our adaptations are our copyright. Each level-adapted text is a new work created by Magibook, and the new expression in it is protected by copyright owned by Magibook. The same applies to our reading-level framework, our software and interface, the Magibook name and logo, and the selection and arrangement of our catalogue.

6.3 What we let you do. While your subscription is active, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to read and use our adaptations on your own devices, for you and your household — or, where Section 8 applies, for classroom use by a licensed school. This licence ends when your subscription or the school's licence ends.

6.4 What the licence does not allow. You may not:

copy, download in bulk, republish, sell, rent, sublicense or distribute our adaptations, or any substantial part of our catalogue;
make our adaptations available to anyone outside your household or your licensed institution;
use our adaptations to create a competing product;
use our adaptations, or allow anyone else to use them, to train, fine-tune, benchmark or evaluate a machine-learning model; or
extract our content by automated means, including scraping, crawling and systematic downloading.

6.5 Your notes are yours. Notes, highlights, bookmarks, reading progress and anything else you create on your account ("Your Content") belongs to you. We claim no ownership of it.

6.6 What we do with Your Content. You give us permission to store, copy, display and process Your Content only so far as we need to in order to run the Service for you — for example to show your notes back to you, sync them between your devices, and keep backups. This permission lasts only while we hold the content, and ends when you delete it or close your account.

6.7 What we will not do with Your Content. We will not publish it, make it public, share it with other users, sell it, or use it to train machine-learning models.

6.8 Feedback. If you send us ideas for improving Magibook, we may use them freely, without obligation or payment to you.

7. Copyright complaints

7.1 We publish adaptations of works we believe to be in the public domain. If you hold rights in a work and believe we have published something we should not have, write to contact@magibook.co with the subject line Copyright complaint, and include:

your name and contact details;
the work you say has been infringed, and the basis of your rights in it;
the title on Magibook you are complaining about, and where to find it;
a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised; and
a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights-holder or are authorised to act for them.

7.2 We take these seriously. We will review any complete notice promptly and will remove or restrict a title while we do so where the circumstances warrant it.

7.3 If you believe we removed something in error, write to the same address and tell us why, and we will reconsider.

8. Schools and institutions

8.1 Who can agree on a school's behalf. A school, district, academy trust or other institution may licence Magibook for its pupils. These Terms bind an institution only when accepted by someone with authority to bind it. A teacher tapping "I agree" in the app does not commit their school. Institutional use requires a signed written agreement between us and the institution.

8.2 Which document wins. Where a signed institutional agreement exists, it governs, and these Terms apply only where that agreement is silent.

8.3 Pupil access. An institution decides how its pupils reach Magibook. In arranging that access, it confirms that it has the authority to do so, and that it has obtained any parental consent required by the law that applies to it, or is lawfully excused from doing so.

8.4 Pupil information. We process pupil information only to provide the Service to the institution, and on the institution's instructions. We do not sell pupil information. We do not use it for advertising. We do not use it to train machine-learning models. We do not build profiles of pupils for any purpose beyond delivering the Service.

8.5 When a licence ends. On the institution's request, and in any event within a reasonable period after an institutional licence ends, we will return or delete pupil information as the institution directs, except where the law requires us to keep it.

8.6 Staff access. Where we give staff administrative access to an institution's usage, the institution is responsible for granting it to the right people and withdrawing it when they leave.

8.7 What does not apply. Section 9 (consumer subscriptions through Apple) and Section 17 (arbitration and class action waiver) do not apply to institutional licences. Institutional licences are invoiced and governed under the signed agreement.

9. Subscriptions and payment

9.1 The app is free to download. Full access to the catalogue requires a paid subscription. The subscriptions available to you, their length and their price are shown in the app and on our App Store listing before you buy. Prices vary by country and may change over time.

9.2 Apple takes your payment. Subscriptions are sold through Apple's In-App Purchase system. You pay Apple, not us. We never receive or store your payment card details. Your purchase is also subject to Apple's own terms and to the terms of your Apple Account.

9.3 Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically. Unless you cancel, your subscription renews for the same period at the then-current price, and Apple charges your Apple Account within 24 hours before the end of each period.

9.4 Free trials. Where we offer a free trial, it becomes a paid subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. You can see the end date at any time in your Apple Account subscription settings. We may limit trials to one per person, and may change or withdraw trial offers.

9.5 How to cancel. Cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.

9.6 Refunds are Apple's decision. Because Apple takes the payment, Apple handles refunds under its own policy. We can neither grant nor refuse a refund on an App Store purchase. Request one from Apple through Report a Problem. This does not affect any right you have under consumer law that cannot be excluded by agreement.

9.7 Price changes and changes to the Service. We may change our prices. Where a price rise affects a subscription you already hold, Apple will seek your consent before charging you, in the way Apple's rules require, and you may cancel instead. If we permanently remove a substantial part of what your subscription provides, you may cancel, and you may ask us to consider a proportionate refund for the unused period.

9.8 UK and EU withdrawal right. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or the European Union, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a contract for digital content. By starting to use the Service straight away, you ask us to begin performance within that period and you accept that you lose the withdrawal right once we have done so. This does not affect your rights where digital content is faulty or not as described.

9.9 Direct sales. We do not currently sell subscriptions through our website. If we begin to, we will publish separate purchase and refund terms for that route before any direct sale is made, and Sections 9.2 to 9.6 will not apply to it.

9.10 Apple Family Sharing. If you share your subscription through Apple Family Sharing, these Terms apply to everyone who uses it. The person who bought the subscription remains responsible for paying for it and for how it is used.

10. Acceptable use

10.1 Use Magibook for reading. Do not:

copy, scrape, crawl or systematically download our texts, or any substantial part of the catalogue;
republish, sell, rent or redistribute our content, or share it beyond your household or licensed institution;
use our content to train, fine-tune, benchmark or evaluate a machine-learning model;
reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except so far as the law says you may despite this restriction;
interfere with the Service, get around access or security controls, or probe the Service for vulnerabilities;
upload anything unlawful, malicious, or infringing someone else's rights;
share your account credentials with people outside your household, or extend institutional access beyond the licensed pupils and staff; or
use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or in breach of Apple's terms.

10.2 Nothing in these Terms restricts your right to say what you honestly think about Magibook, publicly, in a review, or anywhere else.

10.3 You are responsible for the device, software and internet access you need to use the Service, and for what they cost.

11. Apple, and other third parties

11.1 These Terms are between you and Magibook only. Apple is not a party to them. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.

11.2 Magibook, not Apple, is responsible for the app, its content, and for any claim that the app fails to meet a legal requirement or infringes someone's intellectual property rights. We are responsible for investigating and defending such claims.

11.3 If the app fails to conform to any warranty that applies to it, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund what you paid for it. To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation in respect of the app.

11.4 Magibook, not Apple, is responsible for answering your questions and complaints about the app. Write to contact@magibook.co.

11.5 You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a United States government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

11.6 Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

11.7 The Service may link to third-party sites or services. We do not control them and are not responsible for them. Their own terms and privacy practices apply when you use them.

12. Disclaimers

12.1 We provide the Service with reasonable care and skill. Beyond that, and so far as the law allows, the Service is provided "as is" and we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

12.2 We do not warrant that the Service or its content will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure; that a title's reading level is exactly right for a particular reader; or that using Magibook will produce any particular improvement in reading ability. Reading progress depends on many things outside our control.

12.3 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits anything that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, you have legal rights where a service is not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or where digital content is faulty or not as described, and these Terms do not affect those rights. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of Section 12.1 may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

13.1 We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or anything else the law does not permit us to limit or exclude.

13.2 Subject to Section 13.1, and so far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or the cost of obtaining substitute services, however caused.

13.3 Subject to Section 13.1, and so far as the law allows, our total liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of: the amount you paid for Magibook in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or one hundred United States dollars (US$100).

13.4 If you are a consumer, your local law may give you rights that these limits cannot reduce. Sections 13.2 and 13.3 apply only so far as that law permits.

14. Indemnity

14.1 If you use the Service in breach of these Terms and that causes someone to bring a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable losses, damages and legal costs we incur as a result.

14.2 This does not apply to a consumer to the extent your local law does not permit it, and it does not apply to any claim arising from our own breach or negligence.

14.3 If we ask you to cover a claim, we will tell you about it promptly, let you take part in defending it, and not settle it without your agreement, which you will not unreasonably withhold.

15. Term and termination

15.1 These Terms apply for as long as you use the Service.

15.2 You may stop at any time, by cancelling your subscription (Section 9.5) and deleting your account (Section 5.5).

15.3 We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these Terms, if the law requires us to, or if we withdraw the Service. Unless the breach is serious or we must act immediately, we will give you notice and a chance to put it right.

15.4 If we withdraw the Service altogether, we will give reasonable notice and refund the unused part of any period you have paid for, so far as Apple's systems and the law allow.

15.5 Sections 6.2, 6.7, 8.4, 12, 13, 14, 17 and 18 survive the end of these Terms.

16. Accessibility

16.1 Magibook exists in part for people who find reading difficult, and we work to make the Service usable with assistive technology.

16.2 If something about the Service creates a barrier for you, write to contact@magibook.co and tell us what it is. We will try to help you directly, and to fix the underlying problem.

17. Disputes and arbitration

This Section 17 applies if you live in the United States. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or the European Union, Section 18.3 applies to you instead and this Section 17 does not. This Section 17 does not apply to institutional licences (Section 8.7).

17.1 Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration, send a written description of the dispute and what you want to resolve it to contact@magibook.co, marked Legal notice. We will do the same before bringing a claim against you. If we cannot resolve it within 60 days, either of us may begin arbitration. This step is a precondition to filing.

17.2 Agreement to arbitrate. Except as set out in Section 17.3, you and Magibook agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, and not in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section 17. You and Magibook are each giving up the right to a trial by jury.

17.3 Exceptions. Either of us may bring a claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either of us may ask a court for an injunction to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property.

17.4 How arbitration works. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at adr.org. It will take place in the county where you live, or by telephone or video, or on documents alone, as you prefer. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could.

17.5 Costs. The AAA Consumer Rules govern fees. We will pay the fees those rules allocate to us, and will not seek to recover them from you unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous.

17.6 Class action waiver. You and Magibook may each bring claims only individually, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court, and the rest of this Section 17 continues to apply to all other claims.

17.7 Your right to opt out — 30 days. You may reject this Section 17 by emailing contact@magibook.co within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with the subject line "Arbitration opt-out", your name, the email address on your account, and a statement that you opt out. Opting out costs nothing, does not affect your subscription or your use of Magibook in any way, and leaves the rest of these Terms in force. If you opt out, disputes go to the courts identified in Section 18.

17.8 Changes to this section. If we change this Section 17 after you have accepted it, you may reject the change by writing to contact@magibook.co within 30 days, and the version you originally accepted will continue to apply to you.

17.9 Coordinated claims. If 25 or more demands for arbitration raising substantially similar claims are filed against Magibook within a 90-day period, by or with the coordination or assistance of the same law firm or group of firms, the AAA will administer them in batches of no more than 25 demands each. Each batch will be heard by a single arbitrator, and filing and administrative fees will be assessed per batch rather than per demand. Any limitation period is paused for demands awaiting a batch. You and Magibook agree that this is necessary for the fair and efficient resolution of coordinated claims.

17.10 This Section 17 survives the end of these Terms.

18. Governing law and where disputes are heard

18.1 If you live in the United States, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 17, the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and we each consent to that.

18.2 If you live outside the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union, these Terms are governed by California law and disputes are heard in the courts identified in Section 18.1, except where the mandatory law of the country where you live gives you a different right.

18.3 If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom or the European Union, this Section 18.3 governs, and Section 17 does not apply to you.

Nothing in these Terms deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live.
You may bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, and we will bring any proceedings against you in those courts.
If you have a complaint, please write to contact@magibook.co first, marked Complaint, and we will try to resolve it with you.
Consumers in the European Union may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform. We are not obliged to take part in any alternative dispute resolution scheme, and other than as set out here we do not.

19. General

19.1 If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest stays in force, and that part is read down to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.

19.2 If we do not enforce a right straight away, we do not give it up.

19.3 These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any signed institutional agreement, are the whole agreement between us about the Service.

19.4 You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours to a company that acquires our business or assets, provided your rights under these Terms are not reduced. We will tell you if that happens.

19.5 Neither of us is liable for a failure to perform caused by something genuinely outside our reasonable control.

19.6 We communicate with you electronically, and you agree that electronic notices and agreements have the same effect as written ones. Tapping a button marked I agree, Continue, Subscribe or similar creates a binding agreement.

19.7 There are no third-party beneficiaries of these Terms other than Apple, under Section 11.6.
