Terms of Service
Welcome. These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of literarysuccesslab.com and related services. By accessing the site or contacting us for services, you agree to these terms. If you represent an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind that organization. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or request services. These terms describe permitted uses, intellectual property controls, limitations of liability, and the governing law that applies to disputes. They are intended to be clear and practical and to support an educational, research-oriented relationship. For privacy practices, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Use of the site and services
The site provides neutral, descriptive analyses of recurring success strategies in literature. Content is presented for educational and research purposes and is not a substitute for professional advice. When you request consulting, curriculum design, or workshops, engagements are governed by mutually agreed written proposals that define scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees. Any materials or summaries we supply during a paid engagement are scoped by that agreement. Free content on the site is provided as-is for study and discussion. You may not use the site to transmit unlawful, infringing, or abusive content. Users must comply with applicable laws and respect third-party rights when using site resources or adapting textual materials. We reserve the right to restrict access or terminate accounts that breach these terms or pose security risks.
Intellectual property and licensing
All original content produced by Literary Success Lab, including written analyses, synthesized summaries, templates, and guides, is copyrighted by Literary Success Lab unless otherwise indicated. You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use site content for personal study, classroom instruction, or internal organizational learning, provided you retain attribution and do not remove distinguishing marks. For any commercial reuse, distribution, or republication beyond classroom or internal use, please contact us to request a license. When our analyses reference quotations or passages from third-party texts, the original copyright remains with the original authors; users should consult primary sources and follow applicable citation norms. If you believe any content here infringes your rights, notify us at [email protected] with sufficient detail to allow investigation and correction where appropriate.
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The information on this site is provided for informational and educational use and does not constitute professional, legal, or financial advice. Literary portrayals in analyzed texts are context-specific and should not be treated as empirical evidence without corroboration. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Literary Success Lab disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or that use of the site will be uninterrupted or error-free. In no event will Literary Success Lab, its officers, employees, contractors, or partners be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site or services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability for any direct damages will be limited to fees paid for the specific services giving rise to liability during the twelve months preceding the claim. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law.
Governing law and dispute resolution
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law rules. If you and Literary Success Lab have a dispute, we ask that you first try to resolve it informally by contacting us at [email protected]. If informal resolution is not possible, disputes will be resolved in the courts located in Santa Clara County, California, unless otherwise required by applicable consumer protection law. Where applicable law requires alternate procedures, those procedures will apply. This section does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief when necessary to prevent irreparable harm.
Changes to terms and termination
We may modify these terms from time to time. When changes are material, we will post a prominent notice on the site and update the effective date. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the revised terms. We may suspend or terminate access for any user who violates these terms or engages in harmful conduct. Termination does not affect accrued rights or obligations that by their nature survive termination, such as payment obligations, confidentiality, intellectual property, and limitation of liability provisions.
