Terms of Service

1. The Service

Xnoval is a platform for reading web novels. Core reading features are free; optional paid features include unlocking chapters, buying out a book, and listening audio. We may change, add or discontinue features, with reasonable notice where practical.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate registration information and keep your credentials safe; you are responsible for activity under your account. Promotional and reward features are limited to one account per person. You may delete your account at any time through account settings (see the Privacy Policy for how deletion works).

3. Coins and payments

Coins are virtual credits usable only inside the Service. They have no cash value, are not a payment instrument, and are transferable only through features we provide. Recharge prices are shown before you pay (the reference rate is USD 1 = 100 coins; promotional bonuses may apply).

Cryptocurrency orders are credited after on-chain verification: the transfer must match the order's receiving address and amount and reach the required number of confirmations. Purchases of unlocked chapters, buyouts and other digital content are final once delivered, except where delivery failed due to our fault or a refund is required by law.

4. Book buyout and the founder programme

Buying out a book gives you the in-platform distribution rights for that book described on its page at the time of purchase, including a share of the revenue the book generates, calculated and shown in the Founder Centre under the programme parameters then in effect. This section is a summary; the figures and parameters displayed in the product prevail. We may adjust programme parameters for the future; earnings already accrued and settled are not retroactively changed.

5. Content rules

Content you publish must be your own original work or properly licensed to you. Prohibited content includes pornographic material; content that is unlawful, including politically sensitive content prohibited by applicable law; content that infringes others' rights; and hateful or fraudulent material. We may remove violating content and suspend the accounts responsible. Authors publishing books are also bound by the publishing commitments and deposit rules shown in the Creator Centre; deposits may be forfeited for serious violations.

6. Intellectual property

The Service, its design, and content published by Xnoval are protected by copyright and other rights. By publishing content on the Service you grant us a licence to host, display and distribute that content within the Service. Content you read is licensed for your personal use only; bulk scraping, copying or redistribution is prohibited.

7. Acceptable use

You must not scrape the Service beyond what our robots rules and rate limits allow, attempt to bypass paywalls, locked chapters or security controls, or engage in fraud — including fake orders, reusing transaction hashes, or abusing multiple accounts. We operate rate limits and anti-abuse systems and may restrict accounts that trigger them.

8. Availability and liability

The Service is provided "as is" and we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability arising from the Service is limited to the amounts you paid us in the three months before the claim arose.

9. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, and you may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including payment, intellectual property and liability provisions — will survive.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time; the current version and its effective date are always on this page. Continuing to use the Service after an update takes effect means you accept the new terms.
