Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") carefully before using Maktaba ("the App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Description of the App ​

2. License ​

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal or internal purposes. You may not resell, sublicense, reverse-engineer for competitive purposes, or redistribute the App except as permitted by its applicable open-source license (if any).

3. Your Responsibilities ​

You are solely responsible for:

  • Maintaining independent backups of any files or libraries before using the App to scan, move, copy, edit, or sync them;
  • The legality of the e-book files and content you manage through the App, including compliance with applicable copyright and licensing laws;
  • Securing your own devices, accounts, and any third-party services (e.g., Google Drive, OneDrive, S3-compatible providers) connected to the App;
  • Any consequences arising from your configuration or use of the App's features.

4. Third-Party Services ​

The App may integrate with third-party services (such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and S3-compatible providers) for sync functionality. Your use of such services is subject to their own terms and policies. We are not a party to, and have no responsibility or liability for, your relationship with any third-party service provider, including their availability, performance, security, or changes to their APIs.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties ​

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR USE OF THE APP EXCEED THE AMOUNT (IF ANY) YOU PAID TO USE THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $10, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

9. Termination ​

We may suspend or discontinue the App, or your access to it, at any time and without notice. These Terms will survive any termination where they would reasonably be expected to do so (e.g., disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification).

We may modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
