- share your account or try to get around sign-in;
- try to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the service;

Content and copyright
The summaries, bytes, design and logo of Books in Bytes are original work and belong to Books in Bytes. You may read them for your own personal, non-commercial learning, and share links to them.
The books summarised remain the intellectual property of their authors and publishers, and no rights in them are claimed. Each summary is an original interpretation written for education, private study, criticism and review, and is not a substitute for the original book. If you’re a rights holder with a concern about a summary, email mail@abhayjaiswal.com and we’ll look into it promptly.
Not professional advice
The bytes are for general learning only. They aren’t financial, investment, legal, medical, psychological or other professional advice. Think for yourself, and consult a qualified professional before acting on anything you read.
Book requests
Requesting a book doesn’t guarantee it will be added. By sending a request, you let us use it to decide which books to summarise next.
Offline downloads
Downloaded books are stored in your browser on that device for your personal reading. They may be refreshed or stop being available if a book changes or is removed.
Availability and liability
The service is free and provided “as is”. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we can’t promise it will be error-free or always online. To the extent the law allows, Books in Bytes isn’t liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the service.
Privacy
How we handle your data is explained in the Privacy Policy.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We’ll change the date at the top, and continuing to use the service means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India.
