Terms of Service

Last updated: July 25, 2026

These terms cover the iRead mobile app for iOS and Android, and the website at iread-reader.web.app (including the browser-based PDF → EPUB converter). By installing or using them, you agree to what follows. If you don't agree, please don't use them.

iRead is made and operated by an independent developer. Contact: iread.support@gmail.com.

Your licence to use iRead

You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use iRead on devices you own or control, for as long as these terms are followed. The app itself, its design and its code stay ours. You may not resell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the app, and you may not attempt to defeat the checks that gate paid features.

No account, and no copy of your library

iRead has no sign-in and no sync server. Your books, reading progress and settings live on your device. That has a consequence worth stating plainly: if you delete the app or lose the device, we cannot recover anything for you, because we never had it. Use the app's own backup/export feature if your library matters to you.

The books you import are your responsibility

iRead is a reader — it ships with no books and no catalogue. You choose what to import, whether from your device, from your computer over Wi‑Fi, or from a converted file. You are responsible for having the right to use those files, and you agree not to use iRead with material you are not entitled to hold. We do not host, distribute or index book content of any kind.

iRead Pro

• The reader is free, and so is narration using your device's built-in system voice.
• iRead Pro is a one-time purchase of US$11.99 (local prices and taxes vary by store and region) that unlocks the on-device neural voices. It is not a subscription, and it does not expire.
• The purchase is sold and billed by Apple or Google Play, not by us. Refunds are handled by whichever store you bought from, under that store's policy — we cannot issue refunds ourselves, though we're glad to help you work out what went wrong. See Apple or Google Play.
• Entitlements are managed through RevenueCat, which is how a purchase is restored on a reinstall or a new device on the same store account. See the Privacy Policy for what that involves.
• A purchase is tied to the store account that made it. Buying on one platform does not carry the unlock to the other, because Apple and Google run separate purchase systems.

Voice models

Neural voices are downloaded on demand from public model repositories and then run entirely offline. Those models are provided by their respective authors under their own licences; we make no claim over them, and their availability is not something we control.

Wi-Fi import

The computer-import feature starts a temporary, token-protected server on your local network so a browser on the same network can send files to the phone. It is meant for a network you trust. Leaving it running on an untrusted network is not a good idea, and doing so is your call, not ours.

The web converter

The PDF → EPUB converter on the website runs entirely in your browser; the file is never uploaded. It is offered free and as-is. Automatic conversion is imperfect — chapter detection and text extraction will not be right for every PDF, especially scanned ones — so check the result before relying on it, and keep your original file.

Acceptable use

Don't use iRead to break the law, to infringe someone's copyright, to reverse engineer or tamper with the app beyond what your local law permits regardless of contract, or to interfere with the service for others.

Changes and availability

iRead is actively developed: features may be added, changed or removed, and we may stop distributing the app. We'll avoid removing something you've paid for, but we can't promise any particular feature will exist forever, or that the app will run on every future OS version. Updates are delivered through the App Store and Google Play under their terms.

As-is, and the limits of our liability

iRead is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for lost data or lost books. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you actually paid for iRead in the twelve months before the claim.

Nothing here removes rights you have under mandatory consumer law in your country — including statutory guarantees and refund rights — which apply regardless of what this page says.

Ending these terms

You can end them at any time by uninstalling the app. We may suspend your licence if these terms are seriously or repeatedly broken. Uninstalling does not by itself refund a purchase; that's a matter for the store.

Apple-specific terms

On iOS, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. Where it conflicts with this page, it wins. Apple is not a party to these terms and has no obligation to provide support for iRead; any claim about the app is between you and us, not Apple.

Changes to these terms

We may update this page. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use iRead after a change means you accept the updated terms.
