We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion.
You agree not to:
You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Service (questions, notes, etc.). By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute your content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.
You are responsible for ensuring that your content does not violate any laws or third-party rights. Content must not contain offensive, abusive, defamatory, or inappropriate material.
Questions and content you contribute may be shared with other users. By contributing, you agree that your contributions may be used by the community in accordance with these Terms.
The Service and its original content (excluding user-generated content), features, and functionality are owned by BookSmarts and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Service or included software, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software.
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by BookSmarts. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BookSmarts and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.
We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this page. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the Service. By continuing to use the Service after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which BookSmarts operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
