Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Public Domain Literature Library (the “Library”) at iurja.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may revise these terms from time to time, and your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Lawful Personal Use
The Library is provided for lawful, personal, non-commercial use. You may read, download, and share ebooks and accompanying editorial content for your own enjoyment, study, or research. Any commercial redistribution, sale, or systematic reproduction of substantial portions of the site is prohibited without prior written permission.
Prohibited Misuse
You may not use the Library in any way that violates applicable law, infringes the rights of others, or interferes with the operation of the site. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:
- Uploading or transmitting viruses, malware, or any harmful code.
- Attempting to gain unauthorized access to our systems or user accounts.
- Harassing, threatening, or abusing other users or our staff.
- Using the site to distribute unsolicited advertising or spam.
Automated Extraction and Interference
Automated scraping, data mining, or any form of bulk extraction of content from the Library is not permitted without our express written consent. You may not use bots, crawlers, or other automated tools to access the site in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure. We reserve the right to block or limit access from any IP address or user agent that engages in such activity.
Bibliographic and Transcription Limitations
The ebooks in our catalogue are drawn from public-domain sources and are presented with editorial notes, reading guides, and contextual material. While we strive for accuracy, transcriptions may contain errors or omissions. Bibliographic information, such as publication dates and author details, is provided as a reference and may not be complete or current. We do not guarantee that every text is error-free or that all editorial interpretations are definitive.
Jurisdiction-Dependent Copyright and Public-Domain Status
The public-domain status of a work depends on the laws of individual countries. A book that is public domain in Canada or the United States may still be under copyright in other jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to verify the legal status of any work before using it in a manner that may require permission. The Library does not represent that all works are free of copyright restrictions worldwide.
User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your use of the Library and for ensuring that your use complies with these Terms and all applicable laws. If you download or share content, you do so at your own risk. We encourage you to respect the intellectual property rights of others and to use the Library responsibly.
Third-Party Links
The Library may contain links to third-party websites or resources. These are provided for your convenience only. We do not endorse or control the content, privacy practices, or terms of those sites. We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your use of third-party links.
Technical Availability
We aim to keep the Library accessible and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The site may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, upgrades, or factors beyond our control. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Library at any time without notice.
Editorial Notes and Presentation
The editorial content, including reading guides, context essays, and annotations, represents the independent supplementary catalogue material, IURJA Catalogue. These materials are provided to enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the texts. They are not intended as scholarly criticism or definitive historical analysis. Opinions expressed are those of the catalogue project alone.
Rights-Holder Notices
If you believe that any content on the Library infringes your copyright or other rights, please contact us at [email protected] with a detailed description of the material and the basis for your claim. We will respond promptly and take appropriate action, which may include removing the content.
Warranty Disclaimer
THE LIBRARY AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE CONTENT IS ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR ERROR-FREE.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PUBLIC DOMAIN LITERATURE LIBRARY AND ITS EDITOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE LIBRARY IS TO STOP USING IT.
Suspension of Abusive Access
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to any user who violates these Terms or engages in abusive behavior, including but not limited to excessive automated requests, harassment, or illegal activity. Such suspension may be temporary or permanent at our discretion.
Service Changes
We may update, modify, or discontinue any feature of the Library at any time. We will endeavor to provide advance notice of significant changes through the site, but we are not obligated to do so. These Terms may be revised periodically; the most current version will always be posted here.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
These Terms of Use are designed to be fair and clear. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
