Terms

Taleshaw is run by Rambler Books LLC. These terms apply to everyone who reads or writes here.

Accounts

You need an account to follow stories, subscribe or write. You must be 18 or over. Keep your password to yourself; you're responsible for what's done with your account.

Subscriptions

A subscription is to one author, monthly, at the price that author set when you subscribed. It opens every chapter that author publishes on Taleshaw while it lasts. You pay the author directly: the author is the seller, through their own Stripe account, and Rambler Books LLC takes no part of the payment. Subscriptions renew each month until you cancel. When you cancel, you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for. Refunds are the author's to give.

Writing

You keep the copyright in everything you post. By posting, you give Rambler Books LLC a licence to store, display and deliver it to readers on Taleshaw, and to show your story's title, cover and blurb to promote it there. The licence ends when you delete the work, apart from copies kept in backups for a limited time.

Post only original work that you have the right to publish. No plagiarism, and nothing illegal, defamatory, or that sexualises minors. We may remove work, or close an account, that breaks these terms.

You set your own subscription price, and readers pay you through your own Stripe account. You are the seller to your subscribers: payments, refunds, receipts and taxes are between you, them and Stripe. You can see and export your subscriber list at any time.

To take subscriptions you pay Rambler Books LLC a monthly plan, $10.00 a month, through Stripe. It renews each month until you cancel; when it ends, readers can no longer start new subscriptions to you, and your free chapters stay open.

Changes

We may change these terms. If a change matters to you, we'll say so on the site before it takes effect.
