You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information required to register with the Service and at other points as may be required in the course of using the Service ("Registration Data"). You shall not impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or entity. You further agree to maintain and update your Registration Data as required to keep it accurate, current, and complete. StoryBundle may terminate your access to any or all of the Service if any information you provide is false, inaccurate or incomplete.

Once you make a purchase, you should receive a unique download page. You shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose the unique URL for your download page to anyone else or use anyone else's download page. You are solely and entirely responsible for all activities that occur on your download page. StoryBundle shall not be responsible for any losses arising out of the unauthorized use of your download page.
Objectionable Material: You understand that by using the Service and Products, you may encounter content that may be deemed mature, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, which content may or may not be identified as having explicit language or adult themes, and which may be due to the content of the Product or your interactions with other users in the course of using the Products. You agree to use the Service at your sole risk and that StoryBundle shall have no liability to you for content that may be found to be mature, offensive, indecent, or objectionable.
Product Requirements: Use of the Service and/or Products requires a compatible computer, phone, tablet e-reader, Internet access (fees may apply), and certain software (fees may apply), and may require obtaining patches, updates or upgrades from time to time. Because use of the Service and/or Products involves hardware, software, and Internet access (high speed Internet access is strongly recommended), your ability to use the Service and/or Products may be affected by these factors. You are responsible for being aware of any particular system requirements of any Product and for your ability to meet such requirements, which may change from time to time. Applicable system requirements at the time of purchase can be found on the information page for each Product. Certain Products also may require you to register an account with a third party (which may require an initial and/or ongoing fee) or to install third party software and content in connection with their use.

If you are not located in either the US or the EU your purchase price will be the full amount of the price posted and failure on StoryBundle's part to invoice you for any applicable sales and use taxes, value added taxes and other taxes does not relieve you of the liability to pay such taxes, and you must pay to the applicable taxing authority any such taxes which may be due as a result of your purchase through the Service.
Orders: Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell.

We may require additional verification or information before accepting any order.
Payment for Products: The Service uses PayPal, and other payment providers as may be indicated on the purchase page. You agree to pay for all Products you purchase through the Service, and that StoryBundle may charge your chosen payment method (such as PayPal, Amazon or Stripe) for any Products purchased, and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) as may be accrued by or in connection with your Account. All fees will be billed to the payment method you designate during the checkout process. Billing to your selected payment method occurs at the time of purchase. If you use the services of an alternate payment method provider such as PayPal, you will be bound by that party's terms and conditions, which are available on that party's website. You also may be required to create an account with such payment method provider and to provide that payment method provider with your credit card or other details.

Delivery of Products: On occasion, technical problems may delay, interrupt or prevent the download or activation of your Product.
