Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Historical Children’s Library website at buqti.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time, and your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. It is your responsibility to review the terms periodically for any updates.

Use of the Catalogue

The Historical Children’s Library provides a curated catalogue of ebooks, editorial notes, and related materials for lawful personal, educational, and non-commercial use. You may browse, read, and download works where permitted by applicable law. Commercial redistribution, systematic scraping, or any use that exceeds fair use or fair dealing is prohibited unless you have obtained prior written permission. Our catalogue includes works such as Winifred — Background and Themes and Kitty-cat tales — Context and Discussion, which are offered as part of our editorial curation. These materials are intended to support personal study and enjoyment, not for resale or republication. If you wish to use any content for educational purposes beyond personal use, such as in a classroom setting, we encourage you to verify the legal status of the works and to contact us if you have questions about appropriate use.

Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use any automated tool (including bots, crawlers, or scrapers) to extract data or content from the site without our express written consent.
• Interfere with the operation of the site, including by imposing an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
• Attempt to access restricted areas, modify content, or disrupt services.
• Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.

These restrictions help ensure that the site remains accessible and useful for all visitors. If you are a researcher or educator interested in systematic access to our catalogue for scholarly purposes, please contact us to discuss potential arrangements.

Content and Copyright Status

We strive to present works that are in the public domain in jurisdictions where we operate. However, copyright laws vary worldwide. It is your responsibility to verify the legal status of any work in your own country before using it. Some works may be subject to copyright or other rights in certain territories. The editorial notes, introductions, and other original content we create are protected by copyright and may not be reproduced without permission. For example, our reading notes on Stories jolly: stories new: stories strange & stories true — Inside the Classic and the closer reading available for Dimple Dallas — A Closer Reading represent original analysis that we retain rights to. This means that while the underlying public-domain text may be freely used, our commentary and annotations are not.

User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your use of the site and any content you access or download. We do not guarantee that any work is free from third-party rights, and we disclaim liability for any infringement arising from your use. If you are unsure about the legal status of a particular work, such as Pansy's home story book — A Closer Reading or Among the camps — Context and Discussion, we recommend consulting a legal professional in your jurisdiction. Additionally, if you believe that any content on our site infringes your copyright or other rights, please contact us immediately so that we can review the matter.

Third-Party Links

The site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of those sites. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement. When you leave our site, the terms and policies of the external site apply. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Availability and Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to keep the site available and the content accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access or error-free content. Bibliographic information, transcriptions, and editorial notes may contain errors or omissions. For instance, while we aim for precision in works like Piccino, and other child stories — Reading Notes and Moo cow tales — Reading Notes, occasional inaccuracies may occur. We may modify or remove content at any time without notice. If you encounter an error or have a correction to suggest, we welcome your feedback.

Warranty Disclaimer

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR CONTENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED EUROS.

Suspension and Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to any user who violates these terms or engages in abusive conduct, without prior notice and at our sole discretion. Examples of abusive conduct include repeated downloading of large volumes of content, attempting to circumvent technical protections, or using the site in a manner that disrupts service for others. If your access is terminated, you must cease all use of the site and may not attempt to re-access it without our permission.

Changes to the Service

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the site at any time. We are not liable to you or any third party for such changes. This includes the removal of specific titles or categories, such as Fantasy Realms & Folklore, if we decide to revise our catalogue. We will endeavour to provide notice of significant changes where practicable, but we are under no obligation to do so.

Severability

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

Entire Agreement

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Historical Children’s Library regarding your use of the site, superseding any prior agreements or understandings. No waiver of any term shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
