5. Description of Services
emanuals operates a digital content access platform through which Members may obtain subscription-based access to User Content uploaded by independent Sellers. emanuals is not the author, creator, editor, copyright holder, publisher, or legal owner of User Content made available through the Services. emanuals does not pre-screen, verify, audit, moderate, or certify the accuracy, legality, or completeness of User Content, and does not guarantee that any User Content is free from errors, omissions, or defects. The Services include access to view or download digital documentation while a valid subscription remains active, along with associated account tools, payment processing, and marketplace functionality.
6. Membership Subscriptions, Trials, and Auto-Renewal
Access to the Library is granted exclusively through an active, paid membership subscription. Memberships are billed on a recurring basis and will automatically renew at the then-current rate unless canceled by the user prior to the renewal date through the account dashboard. Free trials, where offered, convert automatically to paid membership unless canceled before the expiration of the trial period. By starting a trial, activating a subscription, or saving payment information, you authorize emanuals to automatically charge the payment method on file until cancellation. Pricing, plan features, download limits, and subscription terms are subject to change at any time at our discretion, and continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of such changes.
7. Digital Content License and Access Rights
Upon purchase of an active subscription, and subject to full compliance with this Agreement, emanuals grants the Member a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal-use license to access and, where permitted, download User Content solely for lawful private use during the period in which the subscription remains active. No ownership, copyright interest, resale rights, distribution rights, archival rights, sublicensing rights, public display rights, or perpetual access rights are granted under any circumstance. User Content may not be retained, used, or accessed after membership expiration, termination, or cancellation. Any continued possession, storage, reproduction, sharing, uploading, or redistribution of User Content after the expiration of the membership constitutes copyright infringement and a material breach of this Agreement.
7.1 Subscription Revenue Neutrality
Subscription fees are charged solely for platform access, library availability, hosting, and account services, and are not based on the identity, authorship, popularity, or copyright status of any specific manual or file. No part of subscriber revenue is derived from or linked to any individual item of User Content.
8. Marketplace Uploads and Seller Obligations
Sellers who upload User Content acknowledge and agree that emanuals functions solely as a platform provider and hosting service under 17 U.S.C. §512(c), and does not review, verify, edit, curate, or approve content prior to publication. All legal responsibility for uploaded material rests exclusively with the Seller.
8.1 Ownership and Rights Warranty
By uploading User Content, the Seller represents and warrants that they are the lawful owner or authorised licensee of all manuals, documents, data, and materials submitted, and that such content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, contract, privacy right, or other third-party intellectual-property or legal interest.
8.2 Licence Granted to emanuals
The Seller grants emanuals a worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to host, reproduce, store, index, transmit, display, distribute, make available to subscribers, and process payments relating to the Seller’s User Content for as long as the listing remains active on the platform.
8.3 Platform Fee Neutrality
The Seller acknowledges that any commissions, service fees, or transaction fees charged by emanuals are compensation solely for platform access, hosting, delivery, account management, subscription infrastructure, and customer-support services. Fees are not calculated based on the content, its legal status, or its commercial value. No revenue is derived from the intellectual property itself, but from the use of the platform.
8.4 Indemnification
The Seller agrees to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless emanuals, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and contractors from and against all claims, damages, penalties, legal fees, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from or relating to: (i) the Seller’s uploaded content, (ii) copyright or intellectual-property infringement claims, (iii) misrepresentation of ownership or licensing rights, (iv) failure to comply with applicable law, or (v) any breach of this Agreement.
8.5 DMCA Compliance & Cooperation
In the event of a DMCA takedown notice or legal complaint relating to a Seller’s uploads, the Seller agrees to cooperate fully and promptly with emanuals. Failure to respond may result in temporary suspension, permanent removal of content, forfeiture of payouts, or account termination.
8.6 Removal, Suspension, and Forfeiture
emanuals reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove, disable, restrict, or permanently delete any uploaded User Content without notice, including where content is the subject of complaint, legal demand, suspected infringement, or breach of platform rules. Payouts relating to disputed or infringing content may be withheld, reversed, or forfeited.
8.7 Seller Data & Backup Responsibility
emanuals is not a storage or archival service. Sellers are solely responsible for maintaining their own backups of all uploaded files. No guarantee is given regarding continued hosting, availability, or preservation of uploaded content.
9. Changes to Services and Content Availability
emanuals reserves the right to modify, suspend, restrict, replace, remove, or discontinue any part of the Services, including the Library, User Content, subscription features, or pricing structure, at any time and without prior notice. User acknowledges and agrees that access to specific manuals, files, or content is not guaranteed and may be withdrawn for legal, operational, technical, copyright, or commercial reasons. Such changes do not entitle any user to refunds, credits, compensation, or legal claims.
10. Payments, Billing, and Chargebacks
All fees for paid memberships, subscriptions, upgrades, renewals, and other transactions are due and payable at the time of purchase and are processed through third-party payment processors selected by emanuals. By submitting payment information, you authorize recurring billing until cancellation and agree that emanuals may charge your designated payment method automatically at each renewal interval. All fees are stated in United States Dollars unless otherwise specified. You acknowledge that subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated in writing. Any failure to process renewal payment may result in immediate suspension or termination of access without notice. You agree not to initiate any bank dispute, payment reversal, or chargeback on the basis of dissatisfaction with User Content, removal of content from the Library, download limitations, access limitations, or termination of membership for violation of this Agreement. Any attempted chargeback will constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and emanuals reserves the right to permanently ban the Account, pursue collection of the unpaid balance, and submit the debt to third-party recovery services.
11. Refund Policy and Irrevocable Access Trigger
All sales are final once a membership becomes active and the user gains access to paid features, regardless of whether downloads occur. Access to the Library, ability to view or interact with User Content, or activation of any subscription benefits constitutes full delivery of the purchased digital service. Refunds are not provided for partial use, unused time, lack of continued interest, removal of specific User Content, changes to subscription features, or account termination due to policy violations. Users acknowledge and agree that they are purchasing time-limited subscription access to a digital platform, not purchasing individual manuals or digital files. Refunds are not available after any download, view, stream, preview, copy, or display of User Content has occurred. Refund eligibility ends the moment paid access begins. This provision survives cancellation, termination, and expiration of membership.
12. Fair Use, Download Limits, and Anti-Abuse Enforcement
Access to the Library is licensed solely for individual personal use and may not be shared, duplicated, redistributed, automated, scripted, scraped, or extracted through bulk or programmatic methods. emanuals may impose technical download limits, bandwidth caps, access throttling, device restrictions, IP restrictions, or security-based blocks at its sole discretion. Any pattern of mass downloading, account sharing, archival behavior, exporting behavior, or non-human automated access shall be treated as abuse and grounds for immediate termination without refund. emanuals reserves the right to audit download activity, device usage, network access, and account behavior at any time. If emanuals determines that a user has engaged in scraping, redistribution, VPN masking, proxy evasion, reseller activity, or breach of licensing terms, emanuals may suspend or permanently terminate access without notice and without refund.
13. Seller Representations, Warranties, and Indemnification
Sellers represent and warrant that they are the sole legal owners or authorized licensees of all User Content submitted to the Services, that such content does not infringe any intellectual property rights, contractual rights, privacy rights, or export control laws, and that they have full authority to grant emanuals the license rights described in this Agreement. Sellers agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless emanuals, its directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from all claims, damages, liabilities, penalties, losses, and legal fees arising from or relating to User Content uploaded by the Seller. emanuals is not responsible for storing, backing up, securing, or preserving Seller files. Sellers bear sole responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, legality, and continued availability of their uploads.
14. Intellectual Property and DMCA Safe Harbor
emanuals does not claim ownership of User Content and functions solely as an online service provider under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). If you believe that any content accessible through the Services infringes your copyright, you must submit a proper DMCA takedown notice to the Designated Agent listed in the separate DMCA Policy. Upon receipt of a valid notice, emanuals will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. Users acknowledge that emanuals does not monitor or pre-screen uploads and cannot guarantee the legality or authenticity of User Content. Users further acknowledge that content removal may occur without refund, replacement, or notice. Repeat infringement may result in permanent account termination.

16. Enforcement and Remedies
emanuals may, at its sole discretion, suspend, disable, restrict, or terminate any Account or access method, with or without notice, for any violation of this Agreement or where activity is deemed unlawful, abusive, deceptive, unsafe, harmful to platform integrity, or inconsistent with the intended use of the Services. Termination does not relieve the user of past or outstanding payment obligations. No refunds, credits, or compensation will be issued upon enforcement actions.
17. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Services, the Library, all User Content, and all related software, features, downloads, and access rights are provided on an “as is”, “as available”, and “with all faults” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, emanuals expressly disclaims any and all warranties of accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, reliability, or availability. emanuals does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, compatible with all devices, free of defects, free of viruses or other harmful code, or that any User Content will remain accessible for any duration of time. No oral or written advice provided by emanuals or its representatives shall create any warranty.
18. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the aggregate liability of emanuals exceed the total amounts paid by the user for the Services during the twelve (12) month period preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Users acknowledge that this limitation of liability is a fundamental basis of the agreement between the parties.
19. Binding Arbitration Agreement
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, User Content, payment obligations, access rights, copyright matters (except DMCA procedures), or the relationship between the parties shall be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Hillsborough County, Florida, USA, and shall be conducted in English before a single arbitrator. The parties agree that the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.) governs this clause and that the arbitrator, not a court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to enforceability, scope, or interpretation of this Agreement.
20. Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that arbitration shall be conducted solely on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. You expressly waive the right to participate in or initiate any class action, mass action, private attorney general action, or collective proceeding against emanuals. You further waive any right to a jury trial in any forum.
21. Termination
emanuals may terminate or suspend your Account or access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any breach of this Agreement, suspected fraud, unlawful activity, security threat, failure to pay fees, or conduct inconsistent with the intended operation of the platform. Upon termination, all licenses granted to the user shall automatically cease, and the user shall immediately discontinue all access, use, possession, storage, and reproduction of User Content. No refunds will be issued upon termination.
22. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed solely by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration clause.

23. Assignment
Users may not assign, transfer, sublicense, pledge, delegate, or otherwise convey any rights or obligations under this Agreement without prior written consent from emanuals. emanuals may assign this Agreement in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale, reorganization, or other transfer of assets or control, without notice.
24. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, unenforceable, or unlawful, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Any invalid term shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely reflects the intent of the original clause.
25. Waiver
No waiver of any provision or breach of this Agreement shall be deemed a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other provision unless expressly stated in a written instrument signed by emanuals. Failure to enforce any right shall not constitute a waiver of such right.
26. Survival
Any provision that, by its nature, is intended to survive termination of this Agreement shall do so, including but not limited to: payment obligations, refund limitations, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification duties, intellectual property protections, arbitration agreement, class action waiver, and governing law provisions.
27. Entire Agreement
This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties relating to the use of the Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements, offers, representations, or understandings.

Unless otherwise stated in the promotional materials, eligibility is strictly limited to users with an active, paid membership subscription at the time of entry and at the time of prize award. Trial users, expired accounts, refunded accounts, suspended accounts, and non-subscribing visitors are not eligible to participate.
