Terms of Use

Last updated: 2 November 2026

1. About Palunero

Palunero is an iPhone reading companion operated by Rares Oroian. Contact: palunero@raresoroian.com. It supports a personal library, physical-reading activity, quotes and annotations, optional reminders, and on-device preparation of scanned reading copies. Available features depend on the installed version and device.

The app’s software licence is governed by the Apple Standard End User License Agreement unless a valid custom licence is supplied with the app. These terms describe permitted use of Palunero and this website and apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law and the applicable app licence. They do not replace mandatory consumer rights.

2. Your rights to the source material

Before scanning, importing, copying, recognizing, saving or otherwise using material, ensure the intended use is authorized by the rights holder, a licence, public-domain status in the relevant country, or an applicable legal exception. You are responsible for checking the scope and conditions of that authority.

Owning, borrowing or lawfully accessing a physical book does not automatically authorize a digital copy, a complete-book scan, cloud storage, translation or distribution. “Personal use,” “fair use,” private-copying and accessibility exceptions vary by country and circumstances. Public-domain status can also vary by territory and edition. Do not assume that any exception applies merely because Palunero can perform a task.

3. Prohibited use

You must not use Palunero or its outputs to:

• Scan, digitize, reproduce or store copyrighted material without the necessary permission or other legal authority.
• Upload, publish, sell, lend, share or distribute scans, recognized text, reading copies or extracts where you lack the necessary rights.
• Circumvent access controls or technological protection measures unlawfully, or remove or falsify copyright or rights-management information unlawfully.
• Process material in breach of privacy, confidentiality, contractual duties or other applicable law.
• Misuse the website or support service, interfere with security, or submit malicious content.

Nothing here restricts uses that mandatory law protects. These terms are not legal advice, a copyright licence from a third-party rights holder, or a guarantee that your proposed use is lawful.

4. Your content and privacy

You retain whatever rights you have in your own material. Palunero does not claim ownership of your scans, notes or library. The app processes content locally and does not provide a public book-sharing or distribution service. We do not receive or review your locally stored library and do not verify that each item is lawfully copied. A private workflow does not remove your obligations to rights holders.

The Privacy Policy explains local storage, optional system permissions, widgets, device backups, website hosting and support correspondence. There is no in-app iCloud library syncing in the current version. Any backup through your Apple settings remains subject to your rights in the material and Apple’s terms.

5. Recognition, reading copies and backups

Text recognition, spelling suggestions, page preparation and formatting can omit, misread or rearrange content. Compare important passages with the original; do not rely on output as an authoritative transcription, an exact reproduction or a substitute for professional advice. Reading-time figures measure logged or visible time, not attention or comprehension.

Keep separate copies of irreplaceable material. Deletions may be permanent. Backup availability depends on device settings and storage; app restoration is not guaranteed. The app currently has no in-app recovery export. Do not rely on Palunero as your only archive.

TestFlight versions are unfinished beta software and may crash or lose data. Back up important material before installing a beta over an existing version. Apple’s TestFlight terms govern participation in its beta service.

6. App, content and third-party services

Palunero’s branding, interface and software are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. Third-party libraries, models and included material retain their own licences and attribution notices, available in the app. These terms do not limit rights granted by those licences. Apple’s platform services and Cloudflare’s website infrastructure are subject to their own applicable terms.

We may update the app and website. We will describe material changes here with a revision date. New terms do not retroactively remove rights you already have under mandatory law. Any paid offering must disclose its price and conditions separately before purchase; these terms do not create a subscription or payment obligation.

7. Responsibility and consumer rights

To the extent permitted by law, we do not promise uninterrupted availability, error-free recognition, suitability for every book or device, or recovery of lost content. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including applicable consumer guarantees, liability for fraud, deliberate misconduct or other protected claims. You retain all mandatory rights and remedies in your country.

There is no compulsory arbitration clause, class-action waiver or requirement to waive statutory consumer protections in these terms. Applicable mandatory law and court-jurisdiction protections continue to apply.

8. Questions and rights concerns

If you believe this website or material supplied by Palunero infringes your rights, contact palunero@raresoroian.com with enough information to identify the work, the material concerned and your authority to act. Do not send an entire copyrighted book or unnecessary personal information. We can investigate material we provide; we cannot remotely inspect or remove a user’s local library.
