Terms of Service

the lawyers wanted 40 pages. they got ten sections.

Plain-language summary: you're buying short digital books for personal reading. The advice in them is general, not professional. Frank isn't real. The purchase is.

01The agreement

These terms govern your use of readfrankly.com and your purchase of digital books from Frankly Press LLC ("Frankly," "we," "us"). By using the site or buying a book, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

02What you're buying

Frankly sells digital books (PDF and EPUB format) for personal use. When you buy one, you get a license to download and read both formats on your own devices. You may not resell, redistribute, publicly post, or commercially exploit the files. The books, the website, the character of Frank A. Ives, and all associated content are the intellectual property of Frankly Press LLC.

03About Frank, stated plainly

Frank A. Ives is a fictional character. His biography is invented. The books are drafted with the assistance of artificial intelligence and edited, revised, and approved by a human being. We tell you this here, on the books' copyright pages, and across the site — it is part of what Frankly is.

04Not professional advice

The books offer general observations and suggestions about everyday life, for information and entertainment. They are not medical, psychological, therapeutic, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and they are not a substitute for it. If you are dealing with a serious situation — your health, your safety, your finances, your legal position — consult a qualified professional. Everyone's circumstances differ; we make no promises about outcomes, and you use what you read at your own judgment and risk.

05Payments, delivery, refunds

06Acceptable use

Don't misuse the site: no attempts to breach security, scrape at scale, interfere with its operation, or use the checkout or notify systems fraudulently. We may refuse or cancel transactions we reasonably suspect are fraudulent.

07Disclaimers

The site and the books are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We don't warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

08Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Frankly Press LLC's total liability for any claim arising out of your use of the site or the books is limited to the amount you paid us for the product concerned. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

09Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top reflects the current version, and continued use of the site after changes means you accept them. Questions: frankly@franklypress.com.

10Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, specifically the regulations applicable to companies incorporated in the Sharjah Media City Free Zone (SHAMS), without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the relevant UAE courts.
