Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Public Domain Literature Library (the “Library”) at omeov.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may revise these terms from time to time; your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Use of the Catalogue

The Library provides a curated catalogue of ebooks, primarily drawn from public-domain sources, along with editorial notes, reading guides, and thematic classifications. You are welcome to browse, read, and download ebooks for your personal, non-commercial enjoyment, study, or research. Any commercial use, redistribution, or republication of the content—whether the ebooks themselves or the editorial material—requires prior written permission from the editor.

Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the site in any way that violates applicable law or these terms.
• Engage in automated scraping, data mining, or bulk downloading of catalogue pages or metadata without express permission.
• Interfere with the operation of the site, including by introducing malware, overloading servers, or attempting to bypass technical restrictions.
• Misrepresent your identity or your relationship to any work.

Copyright and Public-Domain Status

The ebooks in our catalogue are believed to be in the public domain in many jurisdictions. However, copyright laws vary by country, and what is public domain in one place may still be protected in another. It is your responsibility to verify the legal status of any work before using it beyond personal reading. The editorial content—including introductions, classifications, reading notes, and summaries—is original work by the editor and is protected by copyright. You may not reproduce or distribute such editorial material without permission.

Bibliographic and Transcription Limitations

We strive to provide accurate bibliographic information and faithful transcriptions, but errors may occur. The Library does not guarantee that every text is complete, error-free, or identical to the original printed edition. Where we have added editorial notes or modernised spelling, we indicate so. Use the texts with scholarly discretion.

User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for how you use the content from this site. The Library is not liable for any consequences arising from your reliance on the information provided, including any historical, biographical, or literary interpretations presented in the editorial material.

Third-Party Links

The site may contain links to external websites or resources. We do not endorse or control those third parties, and we are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability. Your use of linked sites is at your own risk.

Technical Availability

We aim to keep the Library accessible, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The site may be unavailable for maintenance, updates, or reasons beyond our control. We may modify or discontinue any feature without notice.

Editorial Notes and Presentation

The categories, reading guides, and thematic groupings are editorial interpretations. They reflect the judgment of the editor and are intended to enrich the reading experience, not to provide definitive scholarly classification. For example, a work such as Literary values, and other papers may be placed under “Adventure Picaresque Fiction” to highlight its reflective qualities, while The collected works of William Hazlitt appears under “Inside the Classic” to invite closer study. These designations are suggestions, not fixed labels.

Rights-Holder Notices

If you believe that any content on the Library infringes your copyright or other rights, please contact the editor at editor@omeov.com with sufficient detail to allow us to evaluate your claim. We will respond promptly and take appropriate action, which may include removal of the material.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Library and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The editor does not warrant that the content is accurate, complete, or current.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Library and its editor shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your access to or use of the site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted.

Suspension of Abusive Access

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to any user who violates these terms, engages in abusive behaviour, or uses the site in a manner that harms its operation or other users. Such suspension may occur without prior notice.

Changes to Service

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Library at any time. We will endeavour to give reasonable notice of significant changes through the site, but we are not obligated to do so.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

If you have questions about these terms, please contact the editor at editor@omeov.com.
