Terms of Service

1. Agreement

Quorum is a private book-club service in beta, operated by Luke Ryktarsyk and Zoltan Nahoczki. By using Quorum, you agree to these terms and the Community Standards. If you don’t agree, don’t use Quorum. The Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

2. Who can use Quorum

You must be at least 18 years old and in the United States to use Quorum or request beta access.

A beta access request tells us you’re interested. It doesn’t create an account or guarantee an invitation.

3. Your account

Sign in only with your own Apple or Google account, and keep your device and sign-in secure. Share club invitations only with people you mean to invite, and don’t post invitation links or codes publicly. We may suspend access to protect a club, a reader, or the service.

4. Your notes and replies

You own what you write. You give Quorum permission to store, process, and show your notes and replies to members of your club, to display the profile details you choose to add, to send the notification previews you allow, and to review content for moderation as described in the Privacy Policy. We don’t use your writing for advertising. You’re responsible for having the right to post what you submit.

Don’t post long copyrighted passages, other people’s private information, unlawful material, or anything the Community Standards prohibit. We may hide a note, restrict a profile, or suspend access to a club to enforce these rules. You can report concerns and block members in the app.

5. Spoilers

Quorum hides another member’s note until your recorded page reaches its page in your club’s shared edition. Record your page honestly, and keep replies within the original note’s page. Mistakes can happen, so don’t use Quorum as the only copy of writing you can’t replace. Club members can see who liked a note or reply.

6. Acceptable use

Don’t harass, threaten, impersonate, exploit, deceive, spam, probe, reverse engineer, or disrupt Quorum, and don’t try to get around sign-in, club membership, spoiler protection, or another reader’s privacy. Don’t use Quorum for illegal activity or to harm anyone.

7. Changes to the beta

Beta features may change, pause, or end. We may fix errors, change features, or withdraw a build. These terms don’t promise a public launch, any particular feature, or uninterrupted service.

8. Deleting your account

You can stop using Quorum at any time and delete your account in the app or by email. Notes and replies you published in a club with other active members stay there under Deleted user. The Account deletion page explains how it works and what stays.

9. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, the beta is provided “as is,” without a guarantee that it will always be available or error-free. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or responsibilities that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

10. App-store terms

If you download Quorum from Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement applies unless a custom agreement is supplied through App Store Connect. If you download it from Google Play, Google Play’s terms also apply. Neither store is responsible for Quorum.

11. Changes and contact

We’ll post updated terms here with a new effective date. Send questions to support@lukerykta.io.
