General Disclaimer
Effective Date:
The Handwritium Archive provides a free, open-access platform for reading, listening to, and viewing historical texts and media. By using this platform, you agree to the terms outlined in this Disclaimer.
1. Historical Context and Content Accuracy
The Archive hosts a vast collection of public domain books, audio recordings, and videos spanning centuries of human history. Because of the historical nature of this content, please be aware that:
- Outdated Views: Some materials may contain cultural, social, or political views that are outdated, prejudiced, or offensive by modern standards. We preserve these works as historical records and do not endorse the views expressed within them.
- Factual Inaccuracies: Scientific, medical, or historical texts written decades or centuries ago may contain information that has since been proven incorrect. The Archive makes no representations regarding the accuracy or reliability of the information contained in the hosted media.
2. Not Professional Advice
The information provided on the Handwritium Archive is for educational, entertainment, and archival purposes only. It does not constitute professional advice.
Specifically, historical medical textbooks, survival guides, or financial texts should never be used as a substitute for modern, professional medical, legal, or financial consultation. Any reliance you place on such historical information is strictly at your own risk.
3. Global Copyright Variations
We make every effort to ensure that the content hosted on the Archive is in the Public Domain under United States law, or is otherwise freely shareable. However, copyright terms vary wildly across the globe.
A book that is in the public domain in the US might still be copyrighted in Europe or Asia. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether downloading, viewing, or distributing a specific work complies with the copyright laws of the country in which you reside.
4. Technical Reliability ("As-Is" Platform)
The Handwritium Archive is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we pride ourselves on building a lightning-fast and stable architecture, we do not guarantee that the site will always be free of bugs, downtime, or technical errors. We are not liable for any data loss, including the loss of your locally stored Reading History or Favorites, which can be erased if your browser cache is cleared.
5. External Links
The Archive may contain links to external websites or third-party resources (such as LibriVox or Project Gutenberg). We have no control over the nature, content, or availability of those sites. The inclusion of any links does not necessarily imply a recommendation or endorse the views expressed within them.
