These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service, including the early access waitlist, the Platform Quiz, and any downloadable resources.

2. Description of Service

ReaderMagnet is an author marketing platform designed to help indie authors grow their reader email lists, manage ARC (Advance Reader Copy) campaigns, find promotional partners, and analyse the performance of their marketing efforts.

The Service is live and features described on the website represent the current platform. Features are subject to change as the platform evolves.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

4. User Accounts

When you create an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or harm other users of the platform.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Send spam, unsolicited communications, or deceptive content to readers or other authors
  • Misrepresent your identity, list size, or engagement metrics to potential swap partners
  • Distribute malware, viruses, or any harmful code

  • Infringe the intellectual property rights of others

6. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by ReaderMagnet and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our express written permission.

You retain ownership of any content you upload or create through the Service (e.g., book files, landing page copy). By uploading content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host and display that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.

7. Free Resources

Downloadable resources provided by ReaderMagnet (including "The 5-Star Launch Kit") are provided for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not resell, redistribute, or publish these resources without our written permission. All such resources are © 2026 ReaderMagnet.

By creating an account, claiming an Advance Reader Copy (ARC), or otherwise providing your email address through the Service, you consent to receive periodic email communications from ReaderMagnet, including but not limited to:

  • Our weekly newsletter featuring free and discounted books from authors in our network
  • ARC opportunity notifications and reading reminders
  • Platform updates and new feature announcements

You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link included in every email. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not affect transactional emails related to your account or active ARC commitments.

We will never sell or share your email address with third parties for their marketing purposes.

9. Subscriptions and Payments

When the platform launches, paid subscription plans will be available. Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. All fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as described in our Refund Policy.

We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice to existing subscribers. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. By subscribing, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. We do not store your full payment card details.

Certain features of the Service, including but not limited to our chat assistant, are powered by artificial intelligence. By using these features, you acknowledge that:

  • Your inputs may be recorded and used for service improvement and AI model training
  • You should not share sensitive personal information (financial data, health records, passwords) through the AI chat
  • AI chat responses do not constitute professional advice of any kind

A consent notice is displayed before your first chat interaction. By clicking "I Understand — Start Chat," you expressly consent to the recording and processing of your chat messages as described in our Privacy Policy.

We make no representations or warranties regarding the results you may achieve from using the Service. Email list growth, ARC review rates, and promotional outcomes depend on many factors outside our control.
