2. Role of the Platform and Limitation of Liability (Hosting Provider Statement)
- Perabook is a hosting platform / intermediary service provider that enables users to create, publish, and read their own literary content, books, and writings in digital form.
- The legal, criminal, and financial responsibility for books, comments, and content published on the Platform rests entirely with the User/Author who publishes the content. Niafix Ltd. is not obliged to pre-screen, edit, or verify the accuracy of content published on the platform.

This licence ends when you delete your book from the platform (except for technical backups).
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) Content: Users may publish content created with the help of artificial intelligence tools on the platform. However, the User is solely responsible for ensuring that such content does not infringe third-party copyrights, trademarks, or privacy rights.

- Community Rule Violations: If the reported book or user is found to have violated the above rules, Niafix Ltd. may, at its sole discretion, remove the content and temporarily or permanently block the account.
6. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
- Because the Company's registered office is in the United Kingdom (England), this agreement is governed by the Laws of England and Wales. However, where the Platform targets users in Turkey, the mandatory consumer protection rights of consumers under the laws of the Republic of Turkey are reserved. The courts of London shall have jurisdiction in the event of a dispute.
8. Changes to the Agreement
Niafix Ltd. may update or amend these Terms of Service from time to time. Changes may be made due to legal requirements, operational needs, addition of new features (such as subscription systems in the v1 phase), or expansion of the scope of our services.
- Notification: We will inform you of significant changes to the terms through announcements on the Platform or via your registered email address.
- Acceptance: Continued use of the Platform after the changes take effect means you accept the new terms.
- Right to Object: If you do not accept the changes, you have the right to stop using the Platform and close your account. Your failure to terminate access to the Platform from the effective date of the changes provides us with a legal basis to assume you have approved the change.
