TERMS OF SERVICE

OVERVIEW

Welcome to The Library of LikeBooks.

The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to The Library of LikeBooks, operated by Bogdan Caprea. We operate this website and online store, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services offered to customers (collectively, the “Services”).

Our store is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

These Terms of Service, together with any policies referenced within them, describe your rights and responsibilities when accessing or using the Services.

Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important information concerning orders, payments, intellectual property, liability, and other legal rights and obligations.

By visiting, interacting with, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms of Service and our [Privacy Policy]. If you do not agree with these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you should not access or use the Services.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any mandatory rights granted to consumers under applicable Romanian or European Union law.

SECTION 1 — ACCESS AND CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS

By using the Services, you confirm that you have reached the age of legal majority in your country of residence or that you are using the Services with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

To browse the store, create an account, or purchase a product, you may be asked to provide information including your name, email address, billing information, payment details, and delivery address.

You agree that the information you provide is accurate, current, and complete and that you are entitled to provide and use that information.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your customer account and login credentials. You must notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed or used without authorization.

You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your customer account to another person.

SECTION 2 — OUR PRODUCTS

We sell physical books and digital products, including ebooks and downloadable content.

We make reasonable efforts to display and describe our products accurately. However, colours and product appearance may vary depending on your screen, device, settings, print production process, or materials used.

Minor variations in colour, trimming, positioning, binding, paper, or print appearance that do not materially affect the product’s use are not necessarily defects.

Product images may include digital mock-ups used to illustrate the expected appearance of a product. They may not represent its precise physical dimensions or every minor production detail.

Descriptions, prices, availability, and other product information may be updated without notice. We may discontinue products or limit their availability in particular countries or regions.

Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights when a product is defective, damaged, incorrect, or does not conform to the sales contract.

SECTION 3 — PRINT-ON-DEMAND PRODUCTS

Some physical books are produced and fulfilled on demand by third-party printing and fulfilment providers, including Lulu.

Production normally begins after an order has been accepted and transmitted for fulfilment.

Print-on-demand status does not automatically remove any mandatory right of withdrawal available to consumers. Any return, cancellation, or withdrawal request will be handled in accordance with our [Refund Policy] and applicable law.

Products genuinely personalized or produced according to specifications individually selected by the customer may be excluded from the right of withdrawal where permitted by law. A standard book printed only after an order is placed is not treated as personalized solely because it is printed on demand.

SECTION 4 — DIGITAL PRODUCTS

Digital products may be delivered by email, through a download page, through a customer account, or through a third-party digital-delivery application.

The customer is responsible for providing a correct email address and using a compatible device, application, and internet connection.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, purchasing a digital product grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to download and use that product for your own private, non-commercial purposes.

You may not reproduce, distribute, resell, share, sublicense, upload, publish, or make digital products available to other people, except where applicable law expressly permits such use.

Where a digital product is supplied immediately, you may be asked to expressly consent to immediate delivery and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once delivery or access begins. The treatment of digital returns and withdrawals is explained in our [Refund Policy].

If a digital file is defective, corrupted, inaccessible, or materially different from its description, contact us at info@like-books.com so that we can investigate and provide an appropriate remedy.

SECTION 5 — ORDERS AND CONTRACT FORMATION

Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products.

An automated order acknowledgement does not necessarily mean that we have finally accepted the order. The sales contract is formed when we confirm acceptance, collect or authorize payment, or begin fulfilment, whichever occurs first under the circumstances.

We reserve the right to reject or cancel an order for legitimate reasons, including:

• Incorrect product or pricing information;

• Suspected fraud or unauthorized payment;

• Products being unavailable;

• Delivery being unavailable to the supplied address;

• Violation of these Terms;

• An obvious error in the order or checkout process.

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will refund the applicable amount to the original payment method.

Please review your order, delivery address, and contact information carefully before submitting it.

Cancellation and return requests are handled according to our [Refund Policy]. Because fulfilment may begin quickly, we cannot guarantee that a voluntary cancellation request can be completed after an order has entered production or fulfilment. This does not affect any mandatory statutory right of withdrawal.

Products purchased from the store are intended primarily for personal or household use and not for unauthorized commercial resale.

SECTION 6 — PRICES, TAXES, AND PAYMENT

The price charged will be the price displayed during checkout and confirmed in your order confirmation.

Prices, discounts, and promotions may change without notice, but changes will not affect orders that have already been accepted.

Applicable taxes and delivery costs will be displayed during checkout where technically and legally required.

International customers may be responsible for customs duties, import taxes, brokerage charges, or other fees imposed by their country. These charges are not controlled by us unless the checkout expressly states that they are included.

You agree to provide accurate and complete billing and payment information.

By submitting payment details, you confirm that you are authorized to use the selected payment method and authorize the applicable payment provider to process the transaction.

Payments may be processed by Shopify Payments or other third-party payment providers. We do not directly store complete payment-card details where payment processing is handled by those providers.

If a payment is declined, reversed, disputed, or found to be unauthorized, we may suspend or cancel the related order to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 7 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Physical products are delivered to the address provided during checkout.

Delivery dates and transit times shown on the website are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise. Production times may apply before an order is transferred to the delivery carrier.

We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including carrier disruption, severe weather, customs processing, strikes, natural disasters, governmental action, or incorrect delivery information supplied by the customer.

However, nothing in these Terms removes any legal remedy available to a consumer when an order is not delivered within the period required by applicable law.

For consumer orders, risk of loss or damage generally passes to the customer when the customer, or a third party designated by the customer other than the carrier, physically receives the goods.

If the customer independently appoints a carrier that was not offered by us, risk may pass when the goods are delivered to that carrier, as permitted by applicable law.

You must provide a complete and accurate delivery address. Additional costs caused by an incorrect or incomplete address, an unclaimed shipment, or a refused delivery may be deducted or charged where legally permitted.

If tracking shows that an order has been delivered but you cannot locate it, contact the carrier and then contact us at info@like-books.com.

SECTION 8 — RETURNS, WITHDRAWAL, AND REFUNDS

Returns, cancellations, refunds, and the EU right of withdrawal are governed by our [Refund Policy], which forms part of these Terms.

Where applicable, EU consumers generally have 14 days from receipt of the goods to notify us that they are withdrawing from an eligible distance contract.

The customer is responsible for return shipping costs for a change-of-mind return where this has been disclosed in advance, unless we agree otherwise or applicable law requires us to cover those costs.

Products that are defective, damaged, incorrect, or not in conformity with the sales contract are handled separately from ordinary change-of-mind returns and remain subject to applicable statutory remedies.

SECTION 9 — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Services and their content—including text, product descriptions, book content, covers, illustrations, graphics, photographs, videos, branding, logos, page designs, downloadable materials, and software—are owned by or licensed to The Library of LikeBooks, Bogdan Caprea, or the relevant rights holders.

They are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

You may access and use the Services only for personal and lawful purposes.

Unless expressly permitted in writing, you may not:

• Copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, or commercially exploit website content;

• Resell, share, upload, or redistribute ebooks or downloadable products;

• Remove copyright, ownership, or rights-management notices;

• Use our branding in a way that suggests sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement;

• Create derivative commercial products from our protected content;

• Scrape, extract, or systematically collect website or product content.

Purchasing a product transfers ownership of the physical copy, where applicable, but does not transfer copyright or other intellectual-property rights in its content.

“The Library of LikeBooks,” associated branding, product names, designs, and slogans may be protected trade names, trademarks, or other commercial identifiers. No right to use them is granted except as necessary to identify products lawfully purchased from us.

Shopify’s names, logos, products, and service names belong to Shopify or its licensors.

SECTION 10 — OPTIONAL AND THIRD-PARTY TOOLS

The Services may provide access to third-party tools, applications, integrations, or services that we do not directly control.

These may include payment processors, digital-delivery applications, printing providers, fulfilment services, analytics tools, email services, and delivery carriers.

Your use of a third-party service may also be governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy policy.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for failures caused solely by third-party services outside our reasonable control. This does not exclude our responsibility for fulfilling obligations that applicable consumer law places directly upon us as the seller.

We may introduce, change, or remove tools and features from the Services at any time.

SECTION 11 — THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Services may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

We do not control and are not responsible for the content, security, accuracy, availability, or privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

Accessing a third-party website is at your discretion. You should review that third party’s applicable terms and policies before providing information or completing a transaction.

This limitation does not apply where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

SECTION 12 — RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

The Library of LikeBooks is powered by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform through which we offer the Services.

Sales made through our store are transactions between you and The Library of LikeBooks, operated by Bogdan Caprea. Shopify is not the seller of our products.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Shopify is not responsible for the products sold by us or for claims arising solely from the sales contract between you and us.

Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

SECTION 13 — PRIVACY

Personal information collected through the Services is processed according to our [Privacy Policy].

Because Shopify hosts the store, Shopify may collect and process information concerning your access to and use of the Services to provide its platform and related functionality.

Information may also be shared with service providers where necessary to process payments, deliver products, provide digital downloads, prevent fraud, communicate with customers, and operate the store.

Please review our Privacy Policy for more information regarding how personal information is collected, used, retained, transferred, and protected and how you may exercise your data-protection rights.

SECTION 14 — CUSTOMER FEEDBACK AND REVIEWS

If you voluntarily submit a review, comment, suggestion, photograph, or other feedback, you confirm that you have the right to submit it and that it does not violate another person’s rights or applicable law.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, and display that feedback for operating and promoting the Services.

This licence does not transfer ownership of your feedback to us.

You must not submit content that is unlawful, misleading, defamatory, abusive, discriminatory, obscene, fraudulent, or infringing.

We may moderate or remove feedback where reasonably necessary, but we are not obliged to publish or retain every submission.

Where a review has been submitted in exchange for an incentive, the existence of that incentive must be clearly disclosed.

SECTION 15 — ERRORS, INACCURACIES, AND OMISSIONS

Occasionally, the Services may contain typographical errors, incorrect descriptions, inaccurate prices, availability errors, delivery estimates, or other omissions.

We may correct errors and update information at any time.

Where an obvious pricing or product error affects an order, we may contact you to offer the choice of confirming the order at the correct price or cancelling it for a refund.

We will not rely on this section to make material changes to an accepted order unfairly or to remove statutory consumer rights.

SECTION 16 — PROHIBITED USES

You may use the Services only for lawful purposes.

You must not use the Services:

• To violate any law or regulation;

• To infringe intellectual-property, privacy, data-protection, or other rights;

• To submit false, fraudulent, or misleading information;

• To impersonate another person or organization;

• To introduce malicious software, viruses, or harmful code;

• To interfere with the security or operation of the Services;

• To obtain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or information;

• To conduct phishing, spam, scraping, or abusive automated activity;

• To harass, threaten, defame, or harm another person;

• To purchase products using stolen or unauthorized payment information;

• To copy, extract, or commercially exploit the Services without permission.

We may restrict or terminate access when we reasonably believe these Terms have been materially violated.

SECTION 17 — AUTOMATED SYSTEMS AND AGENTS

Automated systems, bots, artificial-intelligence agents, crawlers, or similar tools may not access or interact with the Services in a way that:

• Circumvents access controls or security measures;

• Conceals that the interaction is automated;

• Attempts to bypass CAPTCHAs or rate limits;

• Scrapes or reproduces protected content;

• Disrupts the Services;

• Violates applicable law or these Terms.

Automated systems must comply with any technical instructions, access restrictions, and robot-exclusion measures used by the Services.

We may block or limit automated access where reasonably necessary to protect the Services, our content, or our customers.

SECTION 18 — SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services when reasonably necessary because of fraud, unlawful activity, security risk, non-payment, or a material violation of these Terms.

Termination does not affect rights and obligations that arose before termination, including outstanding payments, intellectual-property rights, liability for prior conduct, and provisions intended by their nature to continue.

SECTION 19 — WARRANTIES AND STATUTORY RIGHTS

We do not guarantee that access to the website will always be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

Website content provided for general informational purposes is not professional, medical, legal, financial, or other specialist advice.

Products remain subject to all warranties, conformity requirements, remedies, and consumer protections that apply under Romanian and European Union law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability for:

• Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

• Death or personal injury caused by negligence where such liability cannot be excluded;

• Intentional misconduct or gross negligence where exclusion is prohibited;

• Failure to supply conforming goods or digital content;

• Any other liability or consumer right that cannot legally be limited.

SECTION 20 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was formed.

We are not responsible for business losses—including lost profits, lost business opportunities, or loss of commercial data—arising from products purchased solely for personal or household use.

We are not liable for failure or delay caused by events outside our reasonable control, provided we take reasonable steps required by law to reduce their effects.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for fulfilling the sales contract, delivering conforming products, issuing legally required refunds, or respecting mandatory consumer rights.

SECTION 21 — INDEMNIFICATION

Where you use the Services for commercial purposes or in violation of these Terms, you agree, to the extent permitted by law, to compensate us for reasonable losses and third-party claims directly caused by your unlawful conduct or material breach.

This section does not apply in a way that unfairly restricts the rights of consumers or requires a consumer to compensate us for matters outside the consumer’s control.

SECTION 22 — SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be applied to the greatest extent legally permitted or removed to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply.

SECTION 23 — NO WAIVER

If we do not immediately exercise or enforce a right under these Terms, that does not mean that we have waived that right.

A waiver is effective only for the particular matter for which it is given.

SECTION 24 — ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms and the policies referenced in them form the agreement governing your use of the Services and purchases from the store.

They replace previous versions relating to the same subject matter.

Nothing in this section excludes representations or information that legally form part of the sales contract or upon which a consumer is legally entitled to rely.

SECTION 25 — ASSIGNMENT

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior consent, except where applicable law permits such a transfer.

We may transfer our rights or obligations where necessary for the operation, sale, or restructuring of the Services, provided that doing so does not reduce your statutory rights or guarantees.

SECTION 26 — GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

These Terms and contracts concluded through the Services are governed by the laws of Romania.

If you are a consumer who normally resides in another country, this choice of law does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protections available under the law of your country of habitual residence.

Any dispute may be submitted to the competent Romanian courts, without restricting a consumer’s right to bring proceedings before another court where applicable consumer or jurisdictional law allows it.

Before beginning formal proceedings, customers are encouraged to contact us at info@like-books.com so that we can attempt to resolve the matter directly.

Consumers may also be entitled to contact the competent consumer-protection authority or an appropriate alternative dispute-resolution body.

SECTION 27 — HEADINGS

Section headings are included for convenience and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.

SECTION 28 — CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

The current version of these Terms will remain available on this page.

We may update these Terms when necessary because of legal, regulatory, technical, security, or operational changes.

Changes will apply from the date stated in the updated Terms and will not retroactively alter an order already accepted unless legally required or expressly agreed.

Where required by law, we will provide appropriate notice of material changes.
