Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Fantasy & Folklore Library (the “Library”) at vuiya.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Library. We may revise these terms occasionally; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed of any updates.
Lawful Personal Use
The Library is offered for lawful, personal, non-commercial enjoyment and study. You may browse, read, download, and share the ebooks and editorial materials for personal use. Any commercial exploitation, redistribution for profit, or use that infringes on the rights of others is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, selling, licensing, or bundling our content with paid products or services.
Prohibited Misuse
You may not use the Library to:
- Violate any applicable law or regulation;
- Infringe on the intellectual property or privacy of others;
- Distribute harmful code, spam, or malicious content;
- Interfere with the security or operation of the site;
- Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
Automated Extraction and Interference
Automated scraping, data mining, or bulk extraction of content is not permitted without prior written consent. You may not use bots, crawlers, or similar tools to access the Library in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure. If you wish to use our catalog for research or indexing purposes, please contact us to discuss permissible approaches.
Bibliographic and Transcription Limitations
The Library provides editorial guides, reading notes, and transcriptions of public-domain texts. While we strive for accuracy, transcriptions may contain errors, and editorial notes reflect the views of the catalogue editor. We do not guarantee that every text is free of omissions or misattributions. Readers should consult original sources or multiple editions when precise quotations are needed.
Copyright and Public-Domain Status
Most ebooks in the Library are drawn from sources believed to be in the public domain. However, copyright laws vary by jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to verify the legal status of any work before reusing it. Some editorial content—such as introductions, annotations, and reading guides—may be protected by copyright and is provided for personal use only. This includes materials like our “Reading Notes” and “Themes and Context” features for works such as Bantu Beliefs and Magic or Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes.
User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for how you use the Library and its content. The Library does not endorse any views expressed in the ebooks or editorial materials. You should exercise your own judgment, particularly when sharing or adapting content. For example, the interpretations in our “Inside the Classic” series represent one perspective and should not be taken as definitive scholarly consensus.
Third-Party Links
The Library may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of those sites. Accessing third-party links is at your own risk. We recommend reviewing the terms and privacy policies of any external site you visit.
Technical Availability
We aim to keep the Library accessible, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. Access may be suspended temporarily for maintenance, updates, or unforeseen circumstances. We may modify or discontinue any feature without notice. We are not liable for any loss or inconvenience resulting from such interruptions.
Editorial Notes and Presentation
Editorial content—such as reading notes, thematic guides, and commentary—is prepared by our catalogue editor, Sarah Beckett. These materials are offered to enrich your reading experience and represent the editor’s interpretation. They are not definitive scholarly works and should not be treated as such. Our guides, including those for The Æneid of Virgil or Swedish fairy tales, are meant to spark curiosity, not to replace academic research.
Rights-Holder Notices
If you believe that any content on the Library infringes your copyright, please contact us at editor@vuiya.com with sufficient detail to allow us to review the claim. We will respond promptly to valid notices. Please include a description of the copyrighted work, its location on our site, and your contact information.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The Library and its content are provided “as is” without any warranties, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the content will meet your requirements or that access will be uninterrupted.
Limitation of Liability
In no event shall the Library or its editor be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid (if any) to access the Library. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.
Suspension of Abusive Access
We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access to any user who violates these terms, engages in abusive behavior, or attempts to disrupt the Library’s operation. This includes, but is not limited to, excessive downloading that affects server performance or repeated infringement of others’ rights.
Service Changes and Severability
We may update, modify, or discontinue the Library (or any part of it) at any time. If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full effect. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Library regarding your use of the site.
These Terms of Use are designed to be fair and readable. If you have questions, please contact us at editor@vuiya.com.
