Terms of Service
Effective date: 2026-03-31
1. Agreement to Terms
BlitzRead ("Service," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by an individual developer based in India. By accessing or using BlitzRead at blitzread.ai or any associated applications, you ("user," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and BlitzRead. Please read them carefully.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age to use BlitzRead. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Service and that they have read and agree to these Terms on your behalf.
The Service is not intended for use in any jurisdiction where such use would be contrary to local laws or regulations. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
3. Account Responsibilities
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that appear to be compromised, shared among multiple users in violation of subscription terms, or used for any purpose that violates these Terms.
4. Subscriptions and Billing
BlitzRead offers paid subscription plans ("Pro") with additional features. By subscribing to a paid plan:
- You authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on your selected plan) until you cancel.
- Subscription fees are charged in advance at the beginning of each billing cycle.
- Prices are listed in USD and may exclude applicable taxes, which will be added where required by law.
- We reserve the right to change subscription prices with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle following the notice period.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or billing portal. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period, and you will retain access to Pro features until that time.
5. Refund Policy
All payments are final and non-refundable.
When you cancel your subscription, you will not receive a refund for any fees already paid. Your access to Pro features will continue until the end of your current billing period, after which your account will revert to the free tier.
We do not provide refunds or credits for:
- Partial subscription periods
- Unused time on your subscription
- Dissatisfaction with the Service
- Failure to cancel before a renewal date
- Downgrade to a lower-priced plan mid-cycle
Consumer Law Exception: Some jurisdictions have consumer protection laws that grant mandatory refund rights that cannot be waived. If you reside in such a jurisdiction (such as the European Union, where a 14-day withdrawal right may apply to certain digital services), your statutory rights remain unaffected, and you may be entitled to a refund as required by applicable law. In such cases, please contact us at [email protected] with proof of your jurisdiction.

Informal Resolution: Before initiating any formal dispute proceeding, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Most disputes can be resolved this way.
