Creator Communities
Creators are responsible for setting a respectful tone and must not use communities to pressure readers, manipulate ratings, distribute infringing files, hide sponsorships or collect personal data without consent.
Copyright Infringement
Do not post pirated books, unauthorized excerpts, stolen covers, copied reviews, unlicensed images or rights-restricted ARC materials. Repeat infringement may lead to account termination.
Moderation Procedures
My Blurbly may review reports, hide content, add labels, request edits, limit reach, suspend messaging, remove accounts, preserve evidence, escalate serious issues and cooperate with providers or authorities where legally required.
User Rights
Users may access the policies before signing up or purchasing, ask questions about the policies, request privacy access/correction/deletion where applicable, cancel subscriptions through the available account or payment-provider route, report unsafe content, and contact My Blurbly about disputes or legal requests.
User Obligations
Users must provide accurate information, keep account credentials secure, respect intellectual property and privacy rights, use the platform lawfully, avoid misleading claims, disclose paid relationships where required, follow community rules, and only upload or process content they have the right to use.
Company Rights

Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, My Blurbly is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. My Blurbly is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive or loss-of-profit damages, or for loss caused by user content, third-party providers, payment providers, AI inaccuracies, unavailable features or unlawful user conduct.
Dispute Resolution
Users should first contact My Blurbly at the contact address in this document so the issue can be reviewed informally. If informal resolution fails, disputes will be handled under the governing law and competent courts stated below, unless mandatory consumer law gives the user a different non-waivable forum or remedy.
Governing Law
These terms are intended to be governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa, unless a mandatory consumer, privacy or platform law in another jurisdiction applies and cannot legally be excluded.
Contact Information
Questions, legal notices, privacy requests, takedown requests, refund questions and account deletion requests should be sent to support@myblurbly.com. My Blurbly should publish any updated support address, business address or provider-required buyer support details before live paid rollout.
Compliance Requirements
These guidelines support safe community operation, ARC trust, review integrity, consumer transparency, copyright compliance, moderation fairness and payment-provider reputation controls.
