By accessing or using the Public Domain Literature Library (the “Library”) at iyiqe.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may revise these terms from time to time; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
Lawful Personal Use
The Library is offered for lawful personal, non-commercial, and educational purposes. You may read, download, and share the works presented, subject to any applicable copyright or other legal restrictions in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with local laws.
Prohibited Misuse
You must not use the Library in any way that violates applicable law or infringes the rights of others. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:
- Using the site for any unlawful purpose or to encourage illegal activity.
- Uploading or transmitting viruses, malware, or any harmful code.
- Attempting to interfere with the proper functioning of the site, including overloading, flooding, or crashing servers.
- Collecting or harvesting personal information about other users without consent.
Automated Extraction and Interference
Automated scraping, data mining, or extraction of content for commercial purposes is prohibited unless expressly authorized in writing. You may not use bots, crawlers, or other automated tools to access the site in a manner that exceeds normal human usage or imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure. We reserve the right to block or throttle any access that we believe is abusive or disruptive.
Bibliographic and Transcription Limitations
The Library provides digital versions of texts that may include transcriptions, editorial notes, and bibliographic descriptions. While we strive for accuracy, transcriptions may contain errors, and bibliographic information may be incomplete or outdated. Works are presented as historical texts and may contain language, ideas, or depictions that some readers find offensive. They are offered for scholarly and informational purposes, not as endorsements.
Copyright and Public-Domain Status
Most works in the Library are believed to be in the public domain in their country of origin and in many other countries. However, copyright laws vary by jurisdiction. Some works may still be protected by copyright in certain countries. It is your responsibility to verify the public-domain status of any work before using it for commercial or other purposes. The Library does not guarantee that any work is free of copyright restrictions worldwide.
User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your use of the Library and any consequences arising from that use. You agree not to use the site in a way that could damage, disable, or impair the Library or interfere with other users’ enjoyment. You must not impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
Third-Party Links
The Library may contain links to third-party websites or resources. These are provided for convenience only and do not imply endorsement. We have no control over the content, policies, or practices of third-party sites and are not responsible for any damages or losses arising from your use of them.
Technical Availability
We aim to keep the Library accessible, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The site may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or events beyond our control. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the site at any time without notice.
Editorial Notes and Presentation
Works in the Library may include editorial introductions, reading notes, or commentary provided by our editors. These materials represent the opinions of the editors and are not necessarily factual or authoritative. They are offered to enhance your reading experience and should not be relied upon as definitive scholarly sources.
Rights-Holder Notices
If you believe that any content on the Library infringes your copyright or other rights, please contact the catalogue project at editor@iyiqe.com with sufficient information to enable us to evaluate your claim. We will respond promptly to valid notices and take appropriate action, which may include removing the material in question.
Warranty Disclaimer
THE LIBRARY AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY. NO WARRANTY IS MADE THAT THE SITE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIBRARY, ITS EDITOR, OR ANY AFFILIATED PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO USE THE SITE, IF ANY.
Suspension of Abusive Access
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Library for any user who violates these Terms or engages in abusive, disruptive, or illegal behavior. Such actions may be taken without prior notice and at our sole discretion.
Service Changes
We may change, update, or remove features of the Library at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes, but are not obligated to do so. Your continued use after modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
These Terms of Use were written with care to be fair and readable. They reflect the Library’s commitment to open access while protecting the rights of users and the integrity of the collection.
