Content moderation
We are dedicated to fostering an environment where freedom of expression flourishes within the boundaries of respect and safety. Our services utilize automated technologies (including BookID) combined with human oversight to promptly identify and address content that violates our Global Terms of Use and/or Community Rules. Moderation decisions are based solely on these published rules and are applied as consistently as possible. Customers in the EU may request review of any moderation of their own content for up to six (6) months from the date of notification.
Illegal activities and abuse
Further to the Global Terms of Use, the use of the Services to upload manifestly illegal content is strictly prohibited. The Company may, at any time, remove content that We believe to be manifestly illegal. The Company may, at any time, indefinitely suspend or delete the accounts of customers that engage in such activities. Entities identified as originating false or misleading notices may be restricted from submitting subsequent notifications. Customers in the EU may request review of restriction and removal decisions for up to six (6) months from the date of notification. Illegal activities will be reported to the appropriate jurisdictional authority.
Out-of-court dispute settlement
Customers in the EU have the right to escalate issues that could not be satisfactorily resolved via Dispute Resolution (see Global Terms of Use §15) to an independent body certified by the EU. EU customers may also initiate judicial proceedings at any time.
