Terms of Service

By creating an account you agree to these terms. If you’re using Scholarly Oxen on behalf of a club, you agree to them for that club too.

You’re responsible for keeping your sign-in email secure — it’s how access to your account is granted.

You keep ownership of everything you and your club create — book lists, votes, notes, and discussions. You grant us only the permission needed to store and display that content back to your club so the product works.

We don’t claim your words as our own and we don’t repurpose them.

Use Scholarly Oxen for real reading communities. Don’t use it to harass others, break the law, or disrupt the service for other clubs.

Club leaders and admins manage membership and roles within their own club; we don’t mediate internal club decisions.

We work to keep Scholarly Oxen running smoothly, but the service is provided “as is.” We can’t promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we’re not liable for indirect losses arising from its use.

As the product grows, these terms may change. If we make a material change we’ll update this page and the “last updated” date. Continuing to use Scholarly Oxen means you accept the current terms.
