Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Zaxeriv, an online story magazine operated for entertainment and informational reading purposes. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the website or create an account.

1. About Zaxeriv

Zaxeriv publishes short and long-form stories, essays, and notes intended for leisure reading. All published material is presented as neutral entertainment content. Stories may explore fictional scenarios, imagined places, and hypothetical situations.

Important: Nothing published on Zaxeriv is a call to action. Content does not instruct, urge, or encourage readers to perform any act, purchase any product, join any organization, adopt any belief, or otherwise take real-world action. Content is not professional advice of any kind.

2. Free service, public content, and optional accounts

Zaxeriv is completely free for everyone. We do not offer paid plans, premium tiers, donations through the site, or any other paid features, and we will never ask you for money in connection with using zaxeriv.com. If anyone contacts you claiming to represent Zaxeriv and requesting payment, it is not authorized by us — please report it to [email protected].

All content on the website is available without registration. Every public story, article, and page may be read by visitors who have not signed in. No paywall, login wall, or subscription is applied to published reading material.

Registration is optional and provides a personal account only — for example, to save personal preferences or saved items for your own use. Creating an account does not unlock additional paid content because no paid content exists.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, if higher) to create an account. By registering, you represent that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.

4. Accounts

4.1 Registration (optional)

Account registration is not required to use Zaxeriv or to read any published content. If you choose to create a personal account, you must provide:

• a unique login (username);
• a password meeting our minimum security requirements;
• an email address used exclusively for account-related communication when you initiate contact with us, such as password recovery or verification of account ownership.

By registering, you also confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy.

4.2 Account security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

4.3 Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, abuse the service, attempt unauthorized access, or pose a security risk. You may stop using the service at any time. We may retain certain records as described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the website for unlawful purposes or in violation of applicable regulations
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data
• interfere with or disrupt the operation or security of the website
• scrape, crawl, or harvest content or user data except as permitted by law or our robots.txt
• misrepresent your identity or affiliation
• upload malware or harmful code
• use automated means to create accounts or bypass authentication without permission

6. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, Zaxeriv and its original content — including text, design, layout, logos, and graphics — are owned by or licensed to us and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

You may read and share links to publicly available pages for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, or create derivative works from substantial portions of the site without prior written permission, except where fair use or similar exceptions apply under law.

7. User content

At this time, Zaxeriv is a publisher-only platform. Readers do not submit stories through the public website. If we introduce user-submitted content in the future, additional terms will apply.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The website and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that content is complete or suitable for any particular purpose.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zaxeriv and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from your use of the website or reliance on any content.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the website shall not exceed fifty US dollars (USD $50). Because the service is free, you will not have paid any amount to us for access.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Zaxeriv and its operators from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the website, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

11. Third-party links

The website may contain links to external sites. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content or practices. Accessing external links is at your own risk.

12. Changes to the service and Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance, except where applicable law requires additional consent.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where Zaxeriv is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes shall be resolved in the competent courts of that jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your country require otherwise.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

15. Contact
