Terms of Service

By using Litheca you agree to these terms. They're written to be read.

What Litheca is

Litheca provides AI-generated book guides (summaries, character notes, themes, quizzes), reading tools, and a reader for public-domain books. All tools are free.

AI content — read this one

Summaries and guides are generated by AI from verified book metadata. We work hard to keep them grounded — quiz answers are backed by quotes checked against source text, and data we can't verify is omitted rather than invented — but AI content can still contain mistakes. Guides are a companion to books, not a substitute for them, and not professional, medical, legal, or financial advice.

Your account & content

• Keep your account credentials secure; you're responsible for activity under your account.
• Comments, reviews, and recommendations you post must be your own, lawful, and respectful — no spam, harassment, hate, or impersonation. Content is pre-moderated and we may decline or remove anything at our discretion.
• You keep ownership of what you write; by posting you give Litheca a license to display it on the site.
• We may suspend accounts that abuse the service.

Books & copyright

• Book titles, covers, and author names belong to their respective rights holders and are shown for identification.
• Quotes are sourced from Wikiquote (CC BY-SA) with attribution; full-text reading and downloads are offered only for public-domain works via Project Gutenberg.
• Rights holder with a concern? Contact us and we'll respond promptly.

Affiliate disclosure

As an Amazon Associate, Litheca earns from qualifying purchases made through "Buy on Amazon" links. This never affects what appears in guides.

Service & liability

Litheca is provided "as is", free of charge, without warranties. We may change or discontinue features at any time. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Litheca is not liable for damages arising from use of the service.

Changes

We may update these terms; the date above reflects the latest version. Continued use after changes means acceptance.
