AmongReaders
Terms of Use
AmongReaders is a place to track your reading and talk about books with other readers, without spoilers. These terms are the rules for using the website and the AmongReaders apps. By making an account or using AmongReaders, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.
Who can use AmongReaders
- You must be 13 or older.
- If you are under 18, you need a parent or guardian’s OK. We ask for their email when you sign up so they can link to your account.
- One person, one account. Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens on your account.
What you post is yours
Your reviews, comments, theories, photos and lists belong to you. By posting them, you let us store them and show them to other readers the way your settings say. That permission ends when you delete the post or your account, apart from copies in backups for a short time.
Only post things you have the right to post. Don’t upload someone else’s writing, photos or artwork as your own.
Community rules
We have no tolerance for abusive people or objectionable content. You agree not to post, send or link to:
- Harassment, bullying, threats or hate aimed at any person or group.
- Sexually explicit material, or anything that sexualizes or endangers minors.
- Graphic violence, or content that promotes self harm or illegal activity.
- Someone else’s private information.
- Spam, scams, fake accounts or misleading links.
- Spoilers placed on purpose where readers haven’t reached them yet. Use the chapter and spoiler tools.
You also agree not to break into the site, copy it in bulk with bots, or get in the way of other readers using it.
Reporting and blocking
Every post and profile has a way to report it, and you can block any reader so you no longer see each other. We look at reports as quickly as we can, usually within a day. We remove content that breaks these rules and may suspend or close the account that posted it.
To reach us directly about a safety problem, email admin@amongreaders.com.
What we can do
We can remove any content and suspend or close any account that breaks these terms or puts other readers at risk. We can also change or retire features. We try to give notice when a change is a big one.
Book details, scans and suggestions
Book details and covers come from outside sources and from readers, and they can be wrong. Camera scans, tags, age guidance and the Fit percentage are produced by software, including AI, and are best guesses. Check anything important yourself.
Stores and other sites
AmongReaders links to bookstores, Amazon, libraries and other sites. Some links are affiliate links, which means we may earn from qualifying purchases. We don’t sell books or handle payments. Anything you buy is between you and that store.
Your personal API key
If you make a personal API key, it gives read access to your own reading data. Treat it like a password. You can replace it at any time in Settings.
The apps
The AmongReaders apps are provided by us, not by Apple or Google. Apple and Google are not responsible for the apps or for anything in them, and their own store terms also apply when you download an app.
Leaving
You can delete your account at any time on the Sharing & privacy page. In the app it’s under You. Our Privacy Policy explains what happens to your information.
No guarantees
AmongReaders is provided as it is. We work hard to keep it running and your data safe, but we can’t promise it will always be available or free of mistakes. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for losses that come from using it or from what other readers post.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as AmongReaders grows. We’ll post the new version here with a new date. If you keep using AmongReaders after a change, you agree to the new terms.
