All content on Transform Reads — including articles, quiz questions, book recommendations, design elements, and branding — is the intellectual property of Transform Reads unless otherwise stated.
You may share links to our content and quote brief excerpts for non-commercial purposes, provided you credit Transform Reads and link back to the original page. You may not reproduce, republish, or distribute substantial portions of our content without our written permission.
Book titles, authors, and cover images referenced on the site belong to their respective publishers and rights holders. We use them for review and recommendation purposes only.
ReaderWrites is our collaborative community novel project. The full terms governing contributions — including the licence you grant us, the absence of royalties or payment, editorial control, content standards, and your legal rights — are set out in our dedicated ReaderWrites Contributor Terms, which form part of these Terms and Conditions by reference.
In summary:
- Submissions must be your own original work — no AI-generated content, no plagiarism
- Approved contributions will be published on the website and in a compiled book
- Contributors grant Transform Reads a perpetual, royalty-free licence to publish their contribution
- No payment or royalties will be made to contributors
- Transform Reads retains full editorial control
Please read the full Contributor Terms before submitting. By ticking the consent checkbox on the submission form, you confirm you have read and agreed to those terms.
Our reading quizzes and book recommendations are provided for informational and entertainment purposes. They represent our editorial opinion and are not professional advice of any kind.
We make no warranty that any book recommendation will be suitable for your specific circumstances, needs, or expectations. Reading is a personal experience and individual results will vary.
Book availability, pricing, and purchase links are provided in good faith but may change without notice. We are not responsible for the accuracy of information on third-party retail sites.
Some products and services on Transform Reads — such as premium quiz features or digital products — may be available for purchase. All purchases are processed by third-party payment providers, currently Gumroad.
When you make a purchase, you also agree to the payment provider’s own terms and conditions. Transform Reads is not responsible for any issues arising from the payment provider’s systems.
Digital products are provided as described. If you have a problem with a purchase, please contact us at info@transformreads.com and we will do our best to resolve it.
Where affiliate links are used — for example, links to buy books on Amazon — we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our recommendations.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Transform Reads shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the site or its content.
We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We will take reasonable steps to ensure availability but cannot guarantee it.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.
The site contains links to external websites, including book retailers, publishers, and other resources. These links are provided for your convenience and do not constitute an endorsement of the linked site or its content.
We have no control over the content of external sites and accept no responsibility for them. Visiting external sites is at your own risk and subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
We reserve the right to update these Terms and Conditions at any time. The updated version will be posted at this URL with a revised effective date. For material changes, we will endeavour to provide notice via the website.
Your continued use of the site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the updated terms, you should stop using the site.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
