They are the rules and requirements that apply to the service. Do not purchase
a subscription, register for an account, or use the service if you are not in
agreement with these terms.


  1. 1. You and Your Account In these Terms, you refers to
    adult users of the service and purchaser of membership. An adult is a
    person of legal age who can enter into a contract in the country in which
    the adult user and the child user reside. By purchasing a subscription to,
    registering for, or using the service, you represent and warrant that you
    are an adult and that you will be responsible for ensuring that any child
    or student authorized by you to use and access the service does so in
    accordance with these Terms.

    We will provide you with a unique ID to represent your account within the
    BookGuru service. If you register and subscribe, you agree to: (a) provide
    accurate and current information as prompted by the enrolment form; (b)
    maintain and update such information so that it is accurate and current at
    all times; (c) not share your password or unique ID or let anyone else
    access your account other than in those situations permitted under these
    Terms, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your
    account; (d) not use a username with the intent to impersonate another
    person or in a manner that infringes another person’s rights; (e) not use a
    username that is obscene or vulgar; and (f) immediately notify us of any
    unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security related to
    the BookGuru service. WHEN YOU SHARE YOUR PASSWORD OR ALLOW A THIRD PARTY TO
    ACCESS YOUR BOOKGURU ACCOUNT, YOU AGREE TO REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE
    WITH THESE TERMS BY ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS
    OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY SAFEGUARD YOUR PASSWORD OR
    FOR ANY ACTIONS OCCURRING UNDER YOUR PASSWORD.
    Your use of the BookGuru service is subject to all applicable technical
    and non- technical specifications, guidelines and policies which we may
    update from time to time including but not limited to the Privacy Policy
    located at


    www.bookguruonline.com/privacy</a >

    you agree and undertake to comply with the policies.</span >
    If we learn that an ineligible user has registered for BookGuru services, we
    may seek confirmation of the user’s status or deactivate the account without
    notice to the ineligible user.
  2. 2. Access

    We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
    non-sublicensable, subscription for the duration of your membership plan
    to access and use the BookGuru service solely for personal, non-commercial
    purposes as permitted by these Terms and intended by us through the normal
    functionality of the BookGuru service. Your membership will automatically
    terminate if you violate these Terms. No right, title or interest is
    transferred to you. You cannot re-lend or copy books borrowed from
    BookGuru at any time. Doing so will entail automatic cancellation of
    membership.</span >


  3. 3. Membership Plans, Payment Terms, Renewals, Cancellations, Refund &
    Deposits

    By subscribing to a specific membership plan of BookGuru services, the
    user is explicitly agreeing to pay, in advance, the reading fee attached
    to the membership plan plus and any other applicable fee or tax at the
    frequency specified by the membership plan.

    You must either use a credit card or other payment mechanism accepted by us
    such to activate and maintain a paid account. You authorize us to charge you
    through the pay mechanism that you use when registering for an account
    and/or purchasing additional services. You will also be responsible for
    charges (including applicable taxes) for any products or services that you
    order that are offered for sale through the BookGuru service. If we do not
    receive payment from your pay mechanism, you agree to pay all amounts due
    hereunder upon our demand and will be solely responsible for any dispute
    with your payment provider. Should the pay mechanism provided initially be
    declined for insufficient funds or any other reason, we reserve the right to
    attempt to recharge the pay mechanism in full or in lesser instalments of
    the initially incurred charge for the duration of the account subscription
    you selected and for up to an additional 90 days. You will not be charged
    more than the amount for which you purchased your account subscription. You
    will be solely responsible for all overdraft fees and/or penalties that may
    be assessed by your payment provider.

    For existing subscribers, subscription renewal fees will be changed once
    your current membership plan has lapsed. All fees are payable in
    accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge
    becomes payable.

    To cancel any subscription and avoid future billing, please contact us at
    info@bookguruonline.com. Please
    know that we endeavour to have customer requests handled within 24 to 48
    hours; however, we cannot guarantee that your cancellation will be
    registered within that time period. You will continue to have access to your
    account for the period of time that has already been prepaid. After you
    cancel your account, we will not charge you any subscription fees after the
    expiration of your then-current subscription. Please note that we do not
    provide full or partial refunds for prepaid sums. In any event, you will be
    able to continue to use the BookGuru services throughout the remainder of
    the subscription period for which you have already paid.

    For members who subscribe to plans with a refundable deposit, any
    premature closure of membership will result in the deposit being refunded
    at the end of the original subscription period (i.e. per membership plan).
    Under extreme situations caused by non-compliance to the Terms by you,
    BookGuru reserves the right to terminate a membership for any or no reason
    without any refund.

    Upon expiry of membership, BookGuru sends reminders for membership renewal.
    If there is no satisfactory response within 1 month, BookGuru reserves the
    right to classify the account as ‘Dormant’ and initiate steps to recover
    cost of books and any unpaid reading fee from the refundable deposit. Post
    this recovery, any excess deposit left in the account will be retained as
    “Unclaimed” refundable deposit for a period of 2 months and periodic
    reminders would be sent to the user to claim the same. After 3 months of
    expiry of membership, BookGuru reserves the right to treat the user as “not
    reachable” and take appropriate action on the unclaimed refundable deposit
    if there has been no response from the user on the reminder communications.
