Welcome to Saphly! These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, our publishing services, and any related platforms or community channels that we operate (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing or using any of our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the Services.

You agree to use our Services for lawful purposes only. You must not misuse the Services in any way that could harm us, our operations, or other users.

All content provided through our Services (including but not limited to text, graphics, branding, and published works) is owned by Saphly or our contributors and protected by intellectual property law. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express permission, except for personal, non-commercial use.

You agree not to engage in conduct within or related to the Services that:

  • Is unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful to others;
  • Harasses, abuses, or defames any person or entity;
  • Uploads viruses, malware, or spam;
  • Attempts to disrupt or interfere with our site or services;

When you submit manuscripts or other materials ("Submissions") through our Services, you represent and warrant that:

  • You own all rights in the material or have obtained all necessary permissions to submit it;
  • Your submission does not infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party;
  • You grant us a non-exclusive license to review, store, and consider your submission for publishing and related purposes;
  • Submission of a manuscript does not guarantee acceptance, publication, or payment;
  • You will comply with any submission guidelines stated on our website or otherwise provided.

All purchases of our titles are handled through the retailer where the order was placed (such as Amazon). As a result, any requests for refunds, returns, or exchanges must be submitted to the retailer from whom you purchased the book. Each retailer has its own policies and procedures, and we encourage you to review their terms before completing your purchase. Saphly is unable to process refunds or returns directly.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our Services, without notice or liability, if you violate these Terms or engage in conduct we deem harmful to Saphly, our partners, or our community.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Saphly shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our Services. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Saphly, its affiliates, officers, and employees from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising out of your violation of these Terms or your use of our Services.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our Services.

We may update these Terms periodically. Continued use of our Services after changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Portugal. Any disputes will be resolved in accordance with these laws and regulations.
