These Terms govern your use of the website, www.phicno.com (the "Site"), all related services, and any other services we provide in connection with the Site (collectively, the "Services"). Please read these Terms carefully because they constitute a binding legal agreement between you and us
The Terms are divided into the following 18 sections:
1.1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES IN ANY WAY, (a) YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE TERMS, AND (b) YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

You also warrant that any registration information that you submit to us is accurate, true, and complete, and that you will keep it that way at all times.
1.3. CHANGES TO THE TERMS. We may change these Terms at any time. If we make any changes, we will change the Effective Date above, and where appropriate, may notify you via e-mail or announcement on the Site.

We encourage you to periodically review our current terms of use.
2.1. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION. You must register and create an account with us in order to use most of the Services. When you register to use the Services, you will be required to provide certain information (e.g. (a) username, (b) email address, (c) a password for your account, or (d) your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Google Plus public profile).
2.2. YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD. Your unique username that you choose will be your username or "Login ID". You agree to (a) maintain the confidentiality and security of your username and password, and (b) remain responsible for all uses of your username and password, and all activity emanating from your account, whether or not such activity was authorized by you. If your username or password is lost or stolen, or if you believe that your account has been accessed by unauthorized third parties, you are advised to notify us promptly in writing, and should change your password at the earliest possible opportunity. Phicno shall not be liable in any way for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. However, you could be liable to us for losses incurred by us or another party due to someone else using your account. You may not use anyone else's account at any time, without the prior written permission of the account holder.
2.3. TYPES OF ACCOUNTS. We currently offer one (1) type of account: a free account for both authors and fans.
3.1. THE SERVICES. Phicno enables authors to upload their content (e.g., comics, graphic novels, etc.,) for Phicno users to read online. Authors choose whether to make their content free or whether a fee is required to view the entire content. The cover and first two (2) spreads of all content are free. Phicno also enables authors to communicate directly with their fans and vise versa. In addition to retaining a percentage of the fee for paid content, we may also generate revenue from advertisements on the Site and inside both paid and unpaid content. The Services are currently available only while connected to the Internet.
3.2. CHANGING THE SERVICES. We may modify, suspend, or stop the Services, in whole or part, either temporarily or permanently, at any time, with or without prior notice to you. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification or cessation of the Services. You acknowledge that we have no express or implied obligation to provide, or continue to provide, the Services, or any part thereof, now or in the future. Any new services and features will be subject to these Terms, as well as any additional terms of use that we may release for those specific services or features.
3.3. INITIAL LAUNCH NOTICE. You understand and acknowledge that the Services are being provided and are made available on an “AS IS” basis. The Services may contain errors or inaccuracies that could cause failures, corruption, or loss of your information.

All sums which Phicno owes to you for purchase made during a calendar month will be paid to you within five (5) days of the start of the next calendar month via PayPal to the email you supplied for PayPal. You agree and acknowledge that you are responsible for all transaction and other costs in connection with you receiving payments via PayPal. In the event that you have supplied Phicno with an invalid PayPal email address, you will need to contact us to request your share of purchased content; in the interim, Phicno will hold sums owed to you and you shall not be entitled to any interest that Phicno earns during such period.. Without limiting the foregoing, in the future, Phicno may introduce other forms of payment besides PayPal to allow you to select your preferred method of payment. At such time (if at all), to utilize any such other payment methods, you will agree to any applicable terms and conditions Phicno may reasonable require in connection with paying you or you paying Phicno via another payment method, including but not limited to, (a) you agreeing that you shall be responsible for all transaction and other costs in connection with you receiving payments via the other payment method, and (b) you shall not be entitled to any interest that Phicno earns during such period that Phicno holds sums owed to you because of insufficient payment method information provided by you.
