The agreement between us and the organisation running a library on the platform. Your readers agree to your terms, not ours.
These terms are between AM Consulting LLC, doing business as DITA ("DITA"), and the organisation that creates a library — a hospital, a school, a congregation, a charity, a company, or an individual running a personal collection. We call that organisation "you" throughout.
Your readers are not party to these terms. They agree to the terms you publish in your own library, which you control and which appear under your name.
Software for running a digital library: a catalog, lending, reader access, branding, and reading applications. We host it and keep it running.
We do not supply commercial books. Openly licensed collections we have ingested are made available to you under their own licences. Everything else in your library is something you uploaded, produced or licensed yourself.
You keep ownership of everything you put in. We claim no rights over your files, your catalogue records, your collections or your reader lists beyond what is needed to host and deliver them to your readers.
You are responsible for having the right to distribute what you upload. If a rights holder tells us something in your library infringes their rights, we will tell you and give you a reasonable opportunity to respond before acting.
You decide who can access your library and on what terms. You are the controller of your readers' data; we process it on your behalf under the data processing agreement.
You are responsible for the lawfulness of how you enrol readers — including consent where children are involved, and any consultation your own governance requires.
Don't use the platform to distribute material you have no right to distribute, to harass anyone, or to attack the service. Don't attempt to circumvent content protection, including on your own titles.
We may suspend a library that is being used for any of those things. Where we can, we will contact you first.
Plans are priced by how many readers your library serves and are billed monthly or yearly in advance. Yearly billing is charged at ten months' price.
If your reader count passes your plan, we will tell you and you can move up. We do not bill retroactively for a plan you did not agree to, and nothing switches off while that conversation is happening.
Sponsored places are charged to the funder at ordinary plan price and are otherwise identical.
You can cancel at any time. Paid time already invoiced is not refunded, but nothing stops working before the period ends.
Before or after cancelling you can export your catalogue records, collections, reader list and loan history in open formats. Your own uploaded files were always yours.
We keep your data for 30 days after cancellation so an accidental deletion can be undone, then remove it.
We aim for the service to be available at all times and will tell you in advance about planned maintenance. We do not offer a contractual uptime guarantee on self-serve plans; deployments arranged directly with us can include one.
We provide the platform as described. To the extent the law allows, our liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before a claim.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
If we change these terms materially, we will tell you at least 30 days before the change takes effect, and you can leave without penalty if you disagree.
The governing law and jurisdiction depend on where you are and where your library is hosted. This will be stated here once the review is complete.
