1. Eligibility and Account Use
epup is rated 4+ and is suitable for readers of all ages. You may use the offline e-reader and companion features without age restriction. If you are under the legal age of digital consent (such as 13 in the United States or 16 in parts of the European Union), you must have permission and supervision from a parent or legal guardian to create an online account, link cloud services or participate in social features. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities under your account.
2. Service, Formats and Local Storage
epup provides an e-reader and companion experience supporting EPUB and PDF formats. Core reading data, books, highlights, reading history, session logs and pet progress are stored locally on your device by default.
3. Cloud Sync, Google Drive Backups and Save Data
Linking an account syncs reading metadata, companion progress, club participation and leaderboard rankings through our secure Supabase database. epup provides optional backup of your imported EPUB and PDF files to your personal Google Drive storage. In conflict scenarios, local or remote data overwrite rules apply as indicated in the application. You can export a JSON save file at any time for offline safekeeping.
4. Content and Intellectual Property
You retain ownership of the EPUB and PDF documents you import into epup. You are solely responsible for ensuring you possess the legal rights to use, view and store any content you import. epup trademarks, illustrations, companion designs, furniture sprites, mechanics and source code are the intellectual property of epup and its creator.
5. Acceptable Use and Community Guidelines
You agree not to misuse the service, interfere with server infrastructure, reverse engineer application components or engage in fraudulent leaderboard manipulation. Usernames, club titles and profile details must remain free of harassment, hate speech, explicit content and spam.
6. Social Features, Clubs and Moderation
Social features allow player connections through friend codes, QR code scanning, clubs, cooperative raids and public leaderboards. When participating in leaderboards, your username, avatar, level, reading metrics and active companion pet are visible to other players. You may block or report players and clubs in-app. We reserve the right to review reports and restrict or terminate accounts that violate our standards.
7. Virtual Items, Companions and Game Economy
epup features virtual companions, evolutions, furniture, skins, ink, tickets, doubloons, cookware and event rewards earned through reading milestones, daily rewards, quests and exchange shops. These virtual items are provided solely for entertainment, hold zero monetary value, cannot be redeemed for real-world currency and are non-transferable outside epup.
8. Monetization and Future Purchases
epup is currently free to use with no mandatory subscriptions or real-money purchases. If paid features or optional subscriptions are introduced in future releases, full pricing and terms will be clearly displayed before any transaction.
9. Third-Party Platforms and Services
epup utilizes trusted third-party providers including Supabase (authentication and database), Expo (push notifications), Google Drive (optional personal book backups) and Gutendex (public domain catalog discovery). Your use of these services is subject to their applicable terms and policies.
10. Termination and Account Deletion
You can delete your cloud account at any time in Settings. Account deletion immediately purges your cloud account data, social relationships, club memberships and sync metadata. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
