Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are Ligma Tech LLC ("Company," "we," "us," "our"). We operate book by book at bookbybook.app, including bookstore storefronts we host, and related products and services that link to these terms (collectively, the "Services").

These terms ("Legal Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and us, concerning your use of the Services. By using the Services, you agree to these Legal Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

We may update these Legal Terms. We will notify you of material changes by email or in the Services, and the updated terms take effect when posted or as stated in that notice. By continuing to use the Services after that, you agree to the updated terms.

You must be at least 18 years old to use or register for the Services.

1. Our Services

book by book helps bookstores manage their Square catalog and inventory and run an online storefront. The Services connect to your Square account, and your use of Square is also governed by Square's own terms.

Purchases made through a bookstore's storefront are made from that bookstore, not from us. The bookstore is responsible for its products, prices, fulfillment, returns, and customer service.

If you use the Services from outside the United States, you are responsible for complying with your local laws.

2. Your Account

You agree that the information you give us when registering is accurate and that you will keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your login secure and for all activity under your account. If you register on behalf of a business, you confirm that you are authorized to bind that business to these Legal Terms.

3. Subscriptions

Billing and Renewal

Your subscription will continue and automatically renew unless canceled. You consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval for each recurring charge, until such time as you cancel. The length of your billing cycle depends on the plan you choose.

Free Trial

We offer a free trial to new users who register with the Services. You will automatically be charged if you have provided payment information, otherwise access to product features will be revoked at the end of the trial.

Cancellation

All purchases are non-refundable. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid term. If you have any questions or are unsatisfied with our Services, please email us at support@bookbybook.app.

Fee Changes

We may change subscription fees from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in accordance with applicable law.

4. Your Data and Content

You own the data and content you bring to the Services, such as your catalog, images, store details, and storefront content. You grant us permission to host, store, process, and display it as needed to provide the Services, including publishing the storefront content you choose to make public.

You are responsible for your content. You confirm that you have the rights to use it, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights, violate any law, or mislead your customers.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them for any purpose without compensation to you.

We back up data regularly, but you are responsible for the data you transmit to the Services, and we are not liable for any loss or corruption of it.
