Agreement to Our Legal Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”), and WaveBooks (“we,” “us,” or “our”) concerning your access to and use of WaveBooks and any related products, websites, support channels, forms, documentation, or services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).

WaveBooks is an offline-first audiobook player for people who already own DRM-free audiobooks. WaveBooks does not provide audiobook files and does not grant you any rights in audiobook content you import, stream, sync, or play through the Services. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to use any content you access through the Services.

You can contact us by email at wavebooks+privacy@proton.me.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with all of these Terms, then you are expressly prohibited from using the Services and must discontinue use immediately.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Services from time to time are incorporated into these Terms by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about changes by updating the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms are posted means that you accept the revised Terms.

Your use of the Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy.

We recommend that you print or save a copy of these Terms for your records.

9. Modifications and Interruptions

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice. However, we have no obligation to update any information on the Services. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services.

We cannot guarantee that the Services will be available at all times. We may experience hardware, software, or other problems or need to perform maintenance related to the Services, resulting in interruptions, delays, or errors. We reserve the right to change, revise, update, suspend, discontinue, or otherwise modify the Services at any time or for any reason without notice to you. You agree that we have no liability for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Services during any downtime or discontinuance of the Services. Nothing in these Terms will be construed to obligate us to maintain and support the Services or to supply any corrections, updates, or releases in connection with them.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Mexican States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You and WaveBooks agree that the competent courts of Mexico shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute that may arise in connection with these Terms, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

11. Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises out of or relates to these Terms, you and WaveBooks agree to first try to resolve it informally by contacting us at wavebooks+privacy@proton.me. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts identified in the “Governing Law” section above.

12. Corrections

There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and other information. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.

13. Disclaimer

The Services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. You agree that your use of the Services will be at your sole risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, in connection with the Services and your use of them, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We make no warranties or representations about the accuracy or completeness of the Services’ Content or the content of any websites or mobile applications linked to the Services, and we will assume no liability or responsibility for:

• errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content and materials;
• personal injury or property damage of any nature resulting from your access to and use of the Services;
• unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers or any personal information or financial information stored there;

We do not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product or service advertised or offered by a third party through the Services, any hyperlinked website, or any website or mobile application featured in any banner or other advertising. We will not be a party to, or in any way be responsible for monitoring, any transaction between you and any third-party provider of products or services. You should use your best judgment and exercise caution where appropriate.

14. Limitations of Liability

In no event will we or our directors, employees, or agents be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profit, lost revenue, loss of data, or other damages arising from your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, our liability to you for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the liability.

Certain US state laws and international laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers or limitations may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of:

• your use of the Services;
• breach of these Terms;
• any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms;
• your violation of the rights of a third party, including intellectual property rights; or
• any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services with whom you connected via the Services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding that is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.

16. User Data

We may maintain certain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing the performance of the Services, as well as data relating to your use of the Services. Although we may perform regular routine backups of data on systems we operate, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit or that relates to any activity you have undertaken using the Services.

You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of audiobook files, metadata, bookmarks, reading progress, server account information, and any other content or data you choose to use with the Services. You agree that we shall have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of any such data, and you waive any right of action against us arising from any such loss or corruption.

17. Electronic Communications, Transactions, and Signatures

Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Services, satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing.

You agree to the use of electronic signatures, contracts, orders, and other records, and to electronic delivery of notices, policies, and records of transactions initiated or completed by us or via the Services. You waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction that require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law.

We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control.

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

There is no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You waive any defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms and the lack of signing by the parties to execute these Terms.
