Terms of service

It's a beta

PaperBoy is free during the beta and new accounts are by invitation. Things will change, sometimes break, and could lose data, so don't make PaperBoy the only place you keep something you care about. The beta, or PaperBoy itself, may end. If it does, we'll email you at least 30 days ahead where we can, so you have time to download your books. If PaperBoy ever charges for anything, we'll say so clearly before you pay, and nothing you're using free will start costing money without you choosing it.

Your account

You need to be at least 16. One account per person. You're responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your passkeys, email and device passwords to yourself, and revoke a device password if a reader goes missing.

What you save

PaperBoy is a personal reading tool. You choose what goes into your library (links, articles from services you connect, and files you upload) and you're responsible for having the right to save and read it. Your library is private: PaperBoy doesn't publish it or show it to anyone else.

You keep whatever rights you have in what you save. You give coefficiencies permission to fetch, store, convert and deliver it to your devices, only to run PaperBoy for you.

Please don't

• use PaperBoy to share or redistribute other people's work, or give other people your device passwords so they can read your library;
• upload anything illegal, or malware;
• use PaperBoy to hammer, scrape or attack websites, or to get around paywalls and logins you don't have;
• try to get into other people's accounts or break PaperBoy's security, or overload it with automated requests.

Other services

When you connect Instapaper, Feedbin, Raindrop or a reading sync server, their own terms apply to your use of them. They can change or stop working with PaperBoy at any time, and we're not responsible for them.

Copyright complaints

See the Copyright page. We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe.

Ending things

You can delete your account at any time under Account, and everything in it goes with it. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts PaperBoy or other people at risk. Where it's reasonable we'll tell you first and give you a chance to download your books.

No guarantees

PaperBoy is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind, as far as the law allows. We don't promise it will be available, error-free, or able to fetch any particular website. As far as the law allows, coefficiencies isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or lost data, and our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and CA$50. Nothing here takes away rights you have under consumer protection law that can't be waived.

Changes

We may update these terms. For anything significant we'll email you or put a notice on the site before it takes effect. If you keep using PaperBoy after that, you're agreeing to the new version.

Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and disputes go to the courts of Ontario. Questions: hello@paperboyweb.com.
