Terms & Conditions
These terms and conditions apply to the Light Novel - Story Reader app (hereafter referred to as "Application") developed by Not A Simple Studio ("Service Provider") as a free service.
Nature of the Service — A Reading Tool Only
The Application is a reading utility. It does not include, publish, sell, or distribute any books, novels, chapters, or other reading material. Its only purpose is to display content that you choose to open with it, in two ways:
- Local EPUB files that you already have on your own device or in your own cloud storage; and
- Web URLs that you enter yourself, which the Application fetches directly from the third-party website you specified and renders in a reader-friendly layout.
The Service Provider does not host, store, cache on any server, index, curate, upload, or otherwise make available any content. The Application ships with no content catalog. Everything you read comes either from a file you supply or from a third-party website you point the Application at. Any content that appears in the Application is retrieved on demand by your own device and stored, if at all, only in local storage on your device.
The Service Provider has no relationship with, control over, or responsibility for any third-party website you choose to import from, and does not review, endorse, or verify the material available there.
Your Responsibility for Imported Content
You are solely responsible for the content you import into, open in, or read with the Application. By using the Application you represent and warrant that:
- You own the content, have a valid licence to it, or it is otherwise lawful for you to access and read it in your jurisdiction;
- Your importing and reading of the content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, or other right of any third party;
- You will not use the Application to access, reproduce, or distribute pirated, unlawful, or otherwise infringing material; and
- You will comply with the terms of service of any third-party website whose URL you enter into the Application.
The Service Provider accepts no liability for the content you choose to import, for its legality or accuracy, or for any consequence of your accessing it. If you are unsure whether you are permitted to read a particular file or website, do not import it.
By downloading or using the Application, you agree to be bound by these terms. You are not allowed to copy, modify, or extract the source code of the Application. All intellectual property rights in the Application remain with the Service Provider. This covers the Application's software and interface only — it does not extend to any content you import, which remains the property of its respective rights holders.
The Service Provider may update, change, or discontinue parts of the Application without prior notice. Any new charges for services will be made clear to the user.
Your data may be processed and stored as part of using the Application. You are responsible for maintaining your device's security. Jailbreaking or rooting your device is not advised as it may affect performance or security.
The Application may use third-party services, each with its own terms and conditions:
The Application requires an internet connection. The Service Provider is not responsible for performance issues caused by lack of connection or mobile data limits. You are responsible for any data charges incurred during use.
The Service Provider does not guarantee uninterrupted access or accuracy of information from third-party sources. Updates may be required to continue using the Application.
DMCA & Copyright Policy
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect everyone who uses the Application to do the same. This policy explains what the Application does and does not do with content, who is responsible for that content, and how a rights holder can reach us.
1. The Application is a reader tool, not a content service
The Application is software for displaying text. It works the same way a web browser or a document viewer does: it opens what the user gives it. Specifically:
- The Application ships with no books, novels, chapters, or catalog of any kind.
- The Service Provider does not host, upload, store, cache, mirror, index, or transmit any reading material on or through its servers.
- The Service Provider does not select, curate, edit, recommend, or publish any third-party work, and does not sell or license access to any work.
- Reading material appears in the Application only because a user imported a file from their own device or storage, or entered a web URL themselves.
- When a user enters a URL, the request goes directly from that user's device to the third-party website. The page does not pass through, and is not kept on, any server operated by the Service Provider.
- Anything a user saves for offline reading is stored only on that user's own device, under that user's control.
The Service Provider is not affiliated with, and has no control over, any third-party website a user chooses to open with the Application.
2. Users are solely responsible for what they import
Every file and every URL opened in the Application is chosen, supplied, and imported by the user. The user who imports a file or URL bears sole and full responsibility for it, including:
- Confirming that they own the work, hold a valid licence to it, or are otherwise legally permitted to access, copy, and read it in their jurisdiction;
- Complying with the terms of service, robots rules, and access restrictions of any website whose URL they enter;
- Any copy they create on their own device, including chapters saved for offline reading; and
- Any claim, loss, damage, or legal consequence that results from importing, storing, or reading that material.
The Service Provider does not review, monitor, approve, or verify the files and URLs users import, has no knowledge of what any individual user has imported, and accepts no liability for it. Use of the Application to access pirated or otherwise infringing material is prohibited by these terms. Users agree to indemnify and hold the Service Provider harmless from any claim arising out of content they imported.
3. Where to send a takedown request
Because the Application hosts nothing, allegedly infringing material is never located on our servers. It is located either on the third-party website that a user entered, or in a file on that user's own device. We cannot delete material from a website we do not operate, and we have no access to files on a user's device.
The effective way to have material removed is to send your notice to the operator or hosting provider of the website where it is published. Once the material is removed at its source, it can no longer be opened in the Application or in any other reader or browser.
4. Notices sent to us
If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act for one, and you believe the Application is being used to access material that infringes your copyright, you may still notify us. Please include:
- Your full name and contact information (email address and, if available, phone number and postal address).
- Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or a representative list if the notice covers several works.
- The exact URL of the third-party website or page where the allegedly infringing material is published.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Send notices to: contacts.simplestudio@gmail.com
We review every complete notice. Since there is no hosted copy for us to remove, the action available to us is limited to the Application itself: where it is technically possible, we may prevent the Application from opening the identified source. Taking such a step is a courtesy to rights holders. It is not an admission that the Service Provider hosted, distributed, or is liable for the material, and it does not remove the material from the website where it is published.
5. Counter-notice
If a source has been blocked in the Application and you believe this was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may write to the same address with your name and contact information, the URL concerned, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the block was made in error. We may restore access at our discretion.
6. Misuse and misrepresentation
Use of the Application to infringe copyright is a breach of these terms, and we may restrict or end access to the Application for anyone we learn is using it that way. Knowingly submitting a false or misleading notice or counter-notice may expose the sender to legal liability, and repeated unfounded notices may be disregarded.
