Terms of use

The service

Luz lets you browse a catalogue, buy digital books, and read them, including offline on a registered device. A sample can be read without an account. Buying and syncing require a Google account.

Contact: hello@luzapp.site.

The account

You sign in with Google. You are responsible for access to that Google account. You can delete the Luz account in the app, under Profile, then Delete my account, or ask for deletion on the account-deletion page. A request sent through the form is handled within 30 days.

Purchases

Paid books in the Google Play app are charged by Google Play. Purchases on the web go through Stripe or FedaPay. The price is the catalogue price at the time of the order. Access is granted to the account after the provider confirms the payment.

A refund follows the provider’s rules. When the provider confirms a refund, Luz removes access to that book. Order records are kept for accounting even after the account is deleted.

A book withdrawn from the catalogue may no longer open, including a book that was purchased, while the order record remains.

Licence

A purchase gives you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to read the book in Luz. You may not redistribute the text, resell it, or bypass the protection that keeps chapters on the device.

What you write

Notes, highlights, and bookmarks are yours. You allow Luz to host them so they can sync between your devices. They are deleted with the account, except a feedback message you already sent.

Acceptable use

Do not disrupt the service, try to access someone else’s account, or extract the catalogue in bulk.

Applicable law

Where mandatory consumer or data-protection rules apply, they prevail, including the GDPR for readers in the European Economic Area. Otherwise, these terms follow the law of the publisher’s place of establishment, Boris PADONOU.
