Terms & Conditions
The terms you agree to when you use Onovel — in plain language.
Last updated: 10 June 2026
Acceptance
By downloading or using the Onovel app you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.
Who can use Onovel
Onovel is intended for adults. You must be old enough to form a binding contract and to use the App Store in your country. Some stories contain mature themes intended for adult readers.
Your licence to use the app
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Onovel for your own enjoyment. You may not copy, redistribute, resell, reverse-engineer or otherwise exploit the app or its content except as allowed by law.
The stories and content
The novels, cover art, text and other content in Onovel are original works owned by Onovel or its creators and are protected by copyright. Reading them in the app is for your personal use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly post, or create derivative works from any of the content without permission.
Coins, premium and purchases
- Free to start. Every novel opens with free chapters. You only pay if you choose to unlock more.
- Coins are a virtual item used inside Onovel to unlock chapters. They have no monetary value, can’t be exchanged for cash, and are non-transferable.
- Premium may be offered as an auto-renewing subscription. It renews automatically through your Apple ID until you cancel, at the price shown at purchase. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- Payments and refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms. Refund requests are subject to Apple’s policies. Except where the law requires otherwise, purchases of virtual items are final once delivered.
Acceptable use
Please don’t misuse Onovel. That includes trying to access the service in unauthorised ways, interfering with its operation, scraping or bulk-extracting content, or using it to break the law or infringe others’ rights.
Availability and changes
We may add, change or remove stories, features or the app itself, and we may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes we’ll update the date above. Continuing to use Onovel after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
Disclaimers
Onovel is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free or that any particular story will remain available.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Onovel and its team will not be liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the app. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable where the Onovel provider is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and without affecting any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live.
