16. USER DATA & LOCAL STORAGE

Because WizRead Desktop stores your books, annotations, and reading database locally on your device, you are solely responsible for maintaining regular backups of your personal files and computer data. WizRead is not liable for data loss occurring due to hardware malfunction, operating system issues, or local file deletion.

For cloud-synced account data (such as reading streaks and profile statistics), in-app account deletion deletes your records from our active database immediately in real time, as detailed in our Privacy Policy.

17. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES

Visiting the website, using the desktop app, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing.

18. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services constitute the entire agreement between you and WizRead. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is deemed severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
