Narae is a web-novel app accessible via a browser through the website www.narae.eu and through a mobile app for Android (hyperlink) or iOs (hyperlink).
Narae is operated by Bookrepublic WebNovels S.R.L, a company registered in Milan under company number 13267150962 with a registered office located in Via Degli Olivetani 12 and reachable via email here: customer@narae.eu.
For the purpose of this agreement we will use the following definitions:
“Us”: Bookrepublic WebNovels S.R.L, the company that created and made Narae available;
“User” or “you”: any person that uses Narae. There are two kind of users:
"Registered user" refers to any user that has registered an account to Narae,
“Non-registered user” refers to any user that has not registered an account to Narae.
"Content” refers to the web-novels and their associated media that can be viewed or reproduced on Narae in its entirety or parts of it. A web-novel on Narae typically consists of short stories issued in the form of episodes published in any order (i.e. chronological) decided or announced by us.
"Coins" refers to a system of files that represents a credit that registered users can purchase within Narae and use to access, view or read the content published on Narae. Coins can be acquired by users in a set of unitsnumbers called “packages”, for example a package of 50 coins or 100 coins can be bought, but not as a single coin, and once purchased cannot be returned or exchanged back for money.
There are two kind of coins:
"Purchased Coins" which are purchased by registered and non-registered users through the allowed means of payment;
"Bonus Coins" which are granted free of charge by us to users as a reward for actions, initiatives, promotions, coupons.
While we welcome people of any age, no one younger than 16 is allowed to use or access Narae. We may offer content that requires users to be of legal age in their country of residence, in such cases we will put a notice to be read before being able to access the content itself.
By using Narae, you state that:
you are at least 16 years old and over the minimum age required by the laws of your country of residence to access and use Narae;
you can form a binding contract with us, or, if you are over 16 but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, that your legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these Terms. We invite you to check the FAQs to see how to contact us in case you’re a legal guardian;
you are not barred from using Narae under all applicable laws; and
you have not been permanently suspended or removed from using Narae by us.
Narae can be used by both registered and non-registered users.
a) Registered users: You become a registered user by creating an account on the app or the website. The account contains the information related to you and the content you acquire on Narae. Only one account per person is allowed. An account cannot be shared. You must keep your account information up to date. You must choose an email address, or the sign-up method allowed by your device and you must keep your password confidential. When creating an account, you must not: impersonate or try to impersonate another person; disclose your password to anyone else; allow anyone else to use your account.
You are responsible for everything done using your account. If you think that someone else may have access to, or be using, your password or account, you must tell us as soon as possible by emailing customer@narae.eu.
b) Non-registered users: Non-registered users are those users who do not have an account, or are registered- users that use Narae without being logged-in. They can only browse the free content on Narae.
Once you have accessed Narae as a registered or a non-registered user, you can browse the whole content catalog available to your Region. The choice of Region will be automatically detected from your device settings, but you can change it at your first access to Narae. It is your responsibility to indicate the correct Region. Each Content has a description, an indication of the genre and the number of episodes. Episodes will be made available through the Narae on a periodic basis (e.g., on a weekly basis) as specifically indicated for each webnovel. Episodes can only be read through Narae itself; therefore, it will not be possible to print, export or download the content on your device outside of Narae.
The Content will be available in the catalog as long as Narae holds the rights to keep it available in your country or language, and when those rights expire, the content will be taken off Narae.
Episodes acquired with the use of purchased coins will remain available to users until the account is deleted, or as long as Narae holds the rights of the Content.
When the rights of a Content are about to expire, we will indicate it in the information displayed in the catalog.
There are three kinds of episodes.
Permanently free episodes: generally, the initial episodes of a series.
Paid episodes: those are locked episodes that need to be unlocked with coins to be accessed.
Episodes that are unlocked, and therefore accessible for free, for a certain period of time, for example when locked content becomes unlockable through Coupons. After the validity of the period of the promotion expires, these episodes revert to the previous category and become locked again.
Coins are necessary to get immediate access to episodes. In some cases, episodes can be read freely, in other cases they have to be acquired with coins. The number of coins necessary to access an episode is always indicated on the description about the episode or the content itself.
COINs will also: (i) only be used to access the Episodes through Narae; (ii) they will not be transferable to other users, as they are associated exclusively with the individual user who has purchased them through Narae; (iii) will not be convertible into other valuable assets, issued by us "outside" Narae or by third parties; (iv) will not be refundable to you in any way; and (v) in the event of non-use within a specified period (5 years from purchase) coins will expire and be deleted from a user account or browser or device. Bonus coins also have a limited time of validity, specified in the individual promotion when they are issued.
