Terms of Use
By creating an account or using the BookAtlas mobile app, you agree to these Terms of Use (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Parties
These Terms are an agreement between Furkan Oruçoğlu, the operator of the BookAtlas mobile app (“BookAtlas”, the “App”), and you, an individual using the App for personal, non-commercial purposes (the “User”).
2. The service
BookAtlas lets you log the books you read by country and city, see them on a world map, keep a reading list and reading goals, follow your reading statistics, and receive AI book and movie recommendations.
3. Your account
- You need a valid email address and a password to create an account.
- You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you may use the App only with the consent of a parent or guardian.
- The information you provide must be accurate and your own.
- You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been used without your permission.
- Each user may create only one account, and the free trial can be used once per user.
4. Acceptable use
You agree:
- to use the App only for personal and lawful purposes;
- not to use a username, profile photo or content that is unlawful, abusive or threatening, or that infringes anyone’s personal or intellectual property rights;
- not to record or share other people’s personal data without permission;
- not to compromise the security of the App, disrupt it, or interfere with other users;
- not to access the App with automated tools, try to bypass daily usage limits, reverse engineer or copy the App;
- not to use the App for commercial or advertising purposes.
5. Your content
The book entries, notes and other content you add belong to you. You allow us to store and process that content solely to provide the service to you. You can export your entries from the App and remove them by deleting your account.
Images created with sharing features, such as the map card, are shared by you, where you choose; you are responsible for what you share.
6. AI recommendations
- Book and movie recommendations are generated by an AI model, are for information only and may contain mistakes. We do not guarantee the accuracy of a recommended title, author or description.
- Recommendation features have daily usage limits, which differ between free and Premium accounts and are shown in the App.
- We may change these limits going forward to keep the service sustainable. For Premium members, less favourable changes apply from the end of the current subscription period.
7. Premium, free trial and payment
- The core features of the App are free. Premium unlocks the additional features and higher usage limits described in the App.
- The price and period are shown by the App Store or Google Play at the time of purchase. Payments are taken by those stores; BookAtlas does not have access to your payment card details.
- Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel at any time in your store account settings; access continues until the end of the period you have paid for.
- Refund requests are handled by the store where you made the purchase, under its refund rules.
- Free trials and campaigns are subject to the conditions announced in the App. A free trial is available once per user; when it ends, access ends automatically and no fee is charged. We may change campaign conditions going forward or end a campaign.
- Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription. You must cancel it separately in your store account settings.
Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have under consumer protection law.
8. Third-party content and services
Book details and cover images come from third-party sources such as Google Books and Open Library; movie posters come from OMDb. We do not guarantee that this information is complete or up to date. Third-party websites opened from the App are subject to their own terms.
9. Intellectual property
The software, design, name, logo and all other elements of the App belong to BookAtlas and may not be copied, reproduced, distributed or used to create derivative works without written permission. Rights in book titles, cover images and movie posters belong to their respective owners.
10. Changes, suspension and termination
- We may add, change or remove features, and may temporarily suspend the service for maintenance, updates or security reasons.
- We may suspend or terminate an account that is used in breach of these Terms or the law, or that appears to be used by an unauthorised person.
11. Liability
We take reasonable care to keep the App available and free of errors, but we do not promise that it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. Except in cases of intent or gross negligence, BookAtlas is not liable for losses arising from your use of the App in breach of these Terms, from outages caused by third-party service providers, or from decisions you make based on AI recommendations. This section does not limit any rights you have under mandatory law.
12. Personal data
Your personal data is processed as described in the Privacy Policy.
13. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for failing to perform its obligations because of events it could not foresee or prevent, such as natural disasters, epidemics, war, strikes, changes in law, or infrastructure and communication outages. Obligations are suspended until the event ends.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms for technical reasons or to comply with the law. The current version is published on this page, and we announce significant changes that affect your rights in the App in advance. If you do not accept a change, you can end the agreement by deleting your account.
15. Term and termination
These Terms apply from the moment you create an account and for as long as it exists. You can end the agreement at any time by using “Delete Account” in the App or by writing to destek@bookatlas.info. See Account Deletion.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, and the courts and enforcement offices of Istanbul have jurisdiction over disputes. Your right to apply to consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts under Turkish consumer law is reserved. If you are a consumer resident in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer rules of that country.
17. Language
These Terms are provided in Turkish and English. If the two versions differ, the Turkish version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
