By downloading, installing, registering for, or using any part of the Service, you enter into a legally binding contract with Movo effective as of the date of your first access. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, in which case references to “you” include that entity.

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, Content Standards, and Author Publishing Terms (where applicable), and any other rules or policies we publish within the Service. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a supplementary policy, these Terms shall prevail unless the supplementary policy expressly governs a specific subject matter.

These Terms are drafted in English, which is the controlling language. Any translation provided is for convenience only; in any inconsistency, the English version governs.

The Service is available exclusively to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. This requirement exists in part because Movo may offer access to mature literary content. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18. We reserve the right to immediately terminate any account where we have reasonable grounds to believe the holder is under 18, without prior notice or liability.

You agree to provide truthful, current, and complete information during registration, including your real date of birth. Providing false information, including a false date of birth to circumvent the age restriction, is a material breach of these Terms and grounds for immediate permanent account termination.

Each individual may maintain only one active Movo account unless otherwise agreed in writing with Movo. Creating duplicate accounts to evade bans, suspensions, or enforcement actions is prohibited and may result in permanent termination of all associated accounts.

You may register via Apple Sign-In or Google. By doing so, you authorize Movo to receive limited profile information from those providers as permitted by your consent settings, subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

The Service may not be available or fully functional in all jurisdictions. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with the laws of your country of residence, including any content regulations applicable to fiction platforms in your territory.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Do not share your password with any third party. Movo will never request your password through any communication channel.

Notify us promptly at service@movo.casa if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Movo is not liable for losses arising from unauthorized use prior to your notification.

You are fully responsible for all activity occurring through your account, including all content published, purchases made, reviews submitted, and interactions with other users, whether or not personally initiated by you.

Movo is a global fiction reading and writing community providing:

• A curated library of novels, serialized fiction, and short stories from both established and emerging authors
• Reading tools including progress tracking, bookmarks, highlights, annotations, and cross-device sync
• Community features including reader reviews, discussion forums, reading challenges, and author-reader interaction spaces
• Author publishing tools for writers to submit, serialize, and manage original fiction on the platform
• A recommendation engine surfacing titles and authors based on your reading history and preferences
• In-app purchasing for premium content access, coins for author support, and subscription tiers

We strive for continuous availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, infrastructure issues, or events beyond our reasonable control. We will endeavor to provide advance notice of planned downtime where practicable.

Movo is continuously developed. We may add, modify, or discontinue features at any time. We will provide reasonable advance notice of material changes affecting your use of the Service, including material changes to Author Publishing Terms or monetization structures.

When you access a book on Movo — whether through a free tier, individual chapter purchase, coin redemption, or subscription — you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to read that content within the Movo app for personal, non-commercial use only. You do not acquire any ownership interest in the content itself.

Movo syncs your reading progress, bookmarks, and annotations across your devices. This requires storing your reading activity on our servers. You may delete your reading history at any time from account settings, though doing so will remove your synced progress.

Books and chapters may be removed from the Movo library by their authors or for content policy reasons. If content you have paid to access is removed, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide a credit of equivalent value or restore your purchase on comparable content. We are not liable for the unavailability of free-tier content.

Movo may offer mature-rated fiction designated for adult readers only. By enabling access to mature content in your settings, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older and consent to viewing such content. Mature content labels are applied by authors; Movo reviews labeling for compliance but cannot guarantee that all mature content is comprehensively labeled at all times. Use the in-app Report function to flag any content you believe is incorrectly labeled.

You are solely responsible for all content you submit to the Service, including reviews, forum posts, reader discussions, and any original fiction you publish. By submitting content, you represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to it and that it complies with these Terms, our Content Standards, and applicable law.

By submitting UGC, you grant Movo a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your content within the Service and in connection with marketing the Service, subject to your privacy settings. You retain ownership of all original content you create. This license persists for a commercially reasonable period following deletion.

Publication of UGC on Movo does not constitute our endorsement of that content, its accuracy, or the views expressed. Readers rely on community reviews and recommendations at their own discretion.

You may delete your reviews and forum posts at any time. Deleted content is removed from public view within 48 hours, from production servers within 30 days, and from backup archives within 90 days.

Users who publish original fiction on Movo (“Authors”) are subject to these Terms and any additional Author Publishing Terms disclosed during the publishing onboarding process. Authors are responsible for ensuring all content they publish complies with these Terms, our Content Standards, and all applicable laws in their jurisdiction and in the jurisdictions where their content will be available.

Authors retain full intellectual property ownership of their original fiction published on Movo. The license grant to Movo described in § 6.2 is limited to the right to host, display, and distribute your work on the Movo platform. Movo does not claim ownership of or the right to commercially exploit your original literary work outside of operating and promoting the Movo Service. Any broader commercial arrangement requires a separate, explicit written agreement.

Authors are required to accurately label the maturity and content rating of all works they publish on Movo. Mislabeling content — particularly failing to apply appropriate mature content labels to adult fiction — is a violation of these Terms and may result in the removal of the affected content and enforcement action against the author account. Authors must also accurately disclose AI-generated or AI-assisted content in accordance with our labeling guidelines.

Where Movo offers author monetization features (reader tips, premium chapter access, author subscription tiers, or other revenue mechanisms), participation is subject to the Author Monetization Terms disclosed separately. Authors are responsible for all tax obligations arising from earnings on Movo. Movo will provide applicable tax documentation as required by law. Movo reserves the right to withhold earnings pending resolution of any active investigation into policy violations or content fraud.

Authors are subject to the same Community Standards as all users (Chapter XVI) and are additionally held to heightened standards with respect to content labeling, audience interaction, and the accurate representation of their published work. Authors found to engage in manipulative review solicitation, artificial engagement inflation, or the misrepresentation of AI-generated content may have their monetization privileges revoked and their published content removed.

All content published on Movo — whether fiction, reviews, forum posts, or any other UGC — must comply with our Content Standards. Movo is a literary community and we support the breadth of human storytelling, including fiction exploring dark, complex, or challenging themes. However, literary merit does not exempt content from our absolute prohibitions.

The following content is prohibited on Movo under all circumstances and regardless of fictional framing, genre label, or claimed literary intent:

• Content constituting or containing Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) material of any kind — see Chapter IX
• Content that provides operational instructions for real-world violence, terrorism, or mass harm
• Content constituting targeted harassment or threats against real, identifiable individuals
• Content infringing third-party intellectual property rights
• Content that constitutes defamation of identifiable real persons

Mature or adult-rated fiction (including explicit sexual content between adults) is permitted on Movo in designated mature content spaces only, subject to proper labeling, platform age verification requirements, and compliance with our mature content guidelines. Unsolicited explicit content in non-adult-designated spaces is prohibited and will be removed.

Fiction that is fully or substantially generated by AI tools must be disclosed as such through Movo's designated labeling mechanism. Presenting AI-generated fiction as entirely human-authored work is a violation of these Terms. The use of AI writing assistance tools is permitted provided it is disclosed and the published work is reviewed, edited, and submitted by a human author who takes responsibility for its compliance with these Terms.

Movo is exclusively for users 18 years of age or older. We implement date-of-birth verification at registration and apply additional detection measures to accounts suspected of being operated by minors. Confirmed underage accounts are immediately and permanently terminated.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has created a Movo account, contact us immediately at service@movo.casa. We will investigate and, where confirmed, permanently delete the account and all associated data without delay.

We conduct regular audits of child safety policies, maintain active content screening systems for published fiction, collaborate with recognized child safety organizations, and continuously update our detection capabilities in line with evolving best practices and legal requirements.

All rights, title, and interest in the Service — including the Movo name, logo, application design, interface, software, recommendation algorithms, and all original content created by or for Movo — are owned by or licensed to Movo and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use Movo's trademarks or proprietary marks without prior written consent.

As stated in Chapter VII, authors retain full ownership of their original literary works. Movo's rights are limited to hosting and displaying works on the platform pursuant to the license grant in § 6.2. In no event does Movo claim any ownership interest in an author's creative work.

If you believe content on Movo infringes your copyright or other intellectual property right, email service@movo.casa with subject “Copyright Notice” including: identification of the protected work; identification and location of the allegedly infringing content; your contact details; a good-faith belief statement; and a declaration of accuracy and authority. We process valid notices promptly.

If you submit ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Service, you agree that Movo may use such feedback freely without obligation. You assign to Movo all intellectual property rights in such feedback to the extent assignable under applicable law.

Subject to your full and continued compliance with these Terms, Movo grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to install and use the Movo application on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use to access the Service as intended.

This license does not include any right to: sublicense, resell, or commercially exploit the Service or any reading content; copy, modify, or create derivative works based on the Service; reverse engineer or disassemble any part of the Service; access the Service via automated means including bots or scrapers; or circumvent any access control, digital rights management, or security feature of the Service.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Movo. Unauthorized use terminates your license and may expose you to legal liability.

All in-app purchases — chapter unlocks, coin packages, premium subscriptions, and author tips — are processed exclusively through Apple App Store or Google Play. Movo does not store your payment card details. We receive only anonymized transaction confirmation tokens and entitlement data.

If Movo offers reading coins or virtual currency: (a) they have no cash value; (b) are non-transferable between accounts; (c) are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or app store policy; (d) may expire per terms disclosed at purchase; and (e) may be forfeited upon account termination for cause.

Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal via App Store or Google Play account settings. You may manage all subscriptions through your platform account at any time.

Except as required by applicable law or app store policies, all digital content sales and virtual currency purchases are final. Refund requests must be submitted to the relevant app store platform. For exceptional circumstances, contact service@movo.casa.

Book content is delivered via third-party CDN providers to ensure reliable loading for readers worldwide. These providers process delivery metadata as technical intermediaries under data processing agreements.

Movo is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party site linked from the Service, including author websites or social profiles linked from author pages. Visiting external links is at your own risk.

Use of Movo from the Apple App Store is additionally subject to Apple's App Store Terms. From Google Play, additionally subject to Google Play's Terms. In any conflict, the applicable platform's terms prevail for platform-specific matters.

In connection with your use of the Service, you agree not to:

• Publish or submit content containing CSAE material in any form — see Chapter IX
• Plagiarize or publish third-party copyrighted works without authorization
• Falsely represent AI-generated content as entirely human-authored
• Manipulate review scores or engage in coordinated fake review campaigns
• Impersonate any person, author, organization, or Movo representative
• Access or attempt to access systems or data you are not authorized to access
• Reverse engineer or tamper with the Service or its underlying technology
• Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to access the Service without written authorization
• Harvest user data or contact information without authorization
• Use the Service to solicit money or personal information under false pretenses
• Engage in any activity that disrupts or damages the Service or its infrastructure
• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation

You may not use the Service to develop competing products, systematically extract Movo content, or conduct commercial activities beyond those expressly permitted by these Terms or the Author Publishing Terms.

Movo reserves the right, but not the obligation, to review, screen, moderate, remove, or take action on any content at any time, in its sole discretion, without prior notice. Moderation uses automated screening and human review guided by these Terms and our Content Standards.

You may report any content or user that appears to violate these Terms using the in-app Report function. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team. Submitting false or malicious reports to harm other users or authors is a Terms violation and may result in enforcement action against the reporting account.

Violations may result in: a warning; content removal; temporary account feature restrictions; temporary account suspension; monetization suspension; or permanent account termination. Severity is calibrated to the nature and seriousness of the violation. For CSAE violations, immediate permanent termination and law enforcement referral occur without warning or appeal.

For enforcement actions not involving CSAE or illegal content, email service@movo.casa with subject “Enforcement Appeal” providing relevant details. We review appeals in good faith. CSAE-related terminations carry no right of appeal.

Movo is a community built on a shared love of storytelling. We ask all members — readers, reviewers, and authors — to engage with one another with respect, good faith, and a genuine appreciation for the craft of fiction. Constructive criticism of a work is welcome; personal attacks against authors or readers are not.

You may not use Movo to harass, bully, threaten, stalk, or target any individual. This includes targeting authors with coordinated negative reviews intended to harm rather than to evaluate, or using platform features to intimidate other readers or community members.

Content promoting hatred or discrimination against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic is prohibited in all community spaces.

Reviews on Movo must reflect your genuine reading experience. Authors may not post reviews of their own works under alternative accounts. Coordinated fake review campaigns — whether positive reviews of one's own work or negative reviews targeting a competitor's work — are prohibited and will result in enforcement action against all involved accounts.

You may delete your account at any time via Settings > Account > Delete Account or by emailing service@movo.casa. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of unused coins or subscription fees, except as required by applicable law. For authors, any pending earnings are processed subject to the applicable payout terms and minimum thresholds.

We may suspend or permanently terminate your access at any time, with or without prior notice, if we determine you have violated these Terms, engaged in unlawful activity, or pose a risk to the safety or integrity of the platform. We will provide notice where legally required and operationally feasible, except where urgent safety action is necessary.

Upon termination, your access ceases immediately. Published fiction, reviews, and forum posts may remain visible unless you request deletion. For authors terminated for cause, pending earnings may be forfeited. Provisions that by nature survive termination continue to apply, including Chapters VI (§ 6.2), X, XIV, XVIII, XIX, XX, and XXI.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MOVO DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

MOVO DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, QUALITY, ORIGINALITY, OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE OF ANY USER-GENERATED CONTENT, INCLUDING READER REVIEWS AND PUBLISHED FICTION. YOU READ AND RELY ON COMMUNITY CONTENT AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.

MOVO MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT AUTHORS WILL EARN ANY SPECIFIC AMOUNT THROUGH THE PLATFORM. AUTHOR EARNINGS ARE VARIABLE AND DEPEND ON FACTORS INCLUDING READERSHIP, CONTENT QUALITY, AND PLATFORM ECONOMICS OUTSIDE MOVO'S DIRECT CONTROL.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MOVO OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF MOVO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Movo's total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid directly to Movo (excluding amounts paid to Apple or Google) in the twelve months preceding the claim; or (b) USD $50. Where applicable law does not permit certain exclusions or caps, Movo's liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted.

The limitations in this Chapter reflect a reasonable and negotiated allocation of risk and form an essential element of the agreement between you and Movo. Movo would not provide the Service without these limitations.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Movo and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your content (including any fiction you publish); (c) your breach of these Terms; (d) your violation of applicable law; (e) your infringement of any third-party right; or (f) any claim arising from content you publish on Movo including copyright infringement claims by third parties.

Movo reserves the right to assume exclusive control of any matter subject to your indemnification. You agree to cooperate fully and may not settle any claim imposing obligations on Movo without our prior written consent.

Before initiating formal proceedings, contact us at service@movo.casa describing the dispute and the relief sought. We will respond in good faith within 30 days. If not resolved within 60 days, either party may proceed to formal dispute resolution.

Except for small claims court matters and except where prohibited by applicable law, all disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitral institution in the jurisdiction of Movo's principal place of business. The arbitrator's decision is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

YOU AND MOVO EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. All claims must be brought individually. If this waiver is found unenforceable for any claim, the arbitration provision in § 21.2 shall not apply to that claim.

For users in jurisdictions where mandatory arbitration or class action waivers are unenforceable as a matter of law (including EU member states and the United Kingdom), these provisions shall not apply to the extent prohibited. Such users retain the right to bring disputes before courts of competent jurisdiction in their country of residence.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Movo is incorporated, without regard to conflict of laws principles, except where mandatory consumer protection or data protection laws in your country of residence impose higher standards that cannot be contracted out of.

If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection legislation, your statutory rights are not limited by these Terms. In any conflict between these Terms and your mandatory statutory rights, your statutory rights prevail to the extent of the conflict.

We may add, modify, or discontinue features at any time. For material changes — particularly changes to Author Publishing Terms or monetization structures — we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice where practicable.

Material changes to these Terms are communicated at least 14 days before taking effect via in-app notice, push notification, and/or email. Non-material clarifications may be updated without advance notice.

Continued use of Movo after any revised Terms' effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept revised Terms, stop using the Service and delete your account before the changes take effect.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Content Standards, Community Guidelines, and (where applicable) Author Publishing Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Movo regarding the Service.

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified minimally to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. All remaining provisions continue in full effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized Movo representative.

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. Movo may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, with notice to affected users including authors with active publishing agreements.

Movo is not liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, infrastructure failures, cyberattacks, or pandemics. We will endeavor to notify users and restore service as quickly as reasonably practicable.

For questions, concerns, or legal notices regarding these Terms or the Service:

Formal legal notices must be submitted to service@movo.casa with subject “Legal Notice.” Notices become effective upon our written acknowledgment.
