Terms of Use

Last updated: July 21, 2026

These terms govern your use of ScanLit ("the app," "we," "us"). By using the app, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use ScanLit.

The service

ScanLit lets you scan physical books with your device's camera to identify titles and authors, and view ratings, reviews, and purchase links sourced from third parties such as Goodreads and Amazon.

Accounts

You're responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that happens under it. Please provide accurate information when creating an account.

Acceptable use

Please don't use ScanLit to break the law, attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer the service, or misuse the scanning feature in a way that overwhelms our systems or the third-party services we rely on.

Third-party content and links

Ratings, reviews, genres, and purchase links are provided by Goodreads, Amazon, and other third parties. We don't control this content and can't guarantee it's accurate, complete, or available at all times. Visiting a Goodreads or Amazon link takes you to their site, subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

Subscriptions and purchases

Any paid subscriptions or in-app purchases offered through ScanLit are billed and managed by the Apple App Store, and subject to Apple's own terms and refund policies.

Disclaimer of warranties

ScanLit is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. Book identification and third-party data (ratings, reviews, pricing) may sometimes be inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable — we don't guarantee results.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.

Termination

You may stop using ScanLit and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for anyone who violates these terms.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated terms.
