All content on the Service, including novels, text, translations, images, logos, graphics, interface elements, and website materials, is provided for personal, non-commercial use only.

All trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights remain with their respective owners. Fat Goose Novel does not claim ownership of third-party original works.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, publicly perform, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from any content on the Service without permission.

Certain content or features on the Service may require Gold, Silver, or other site credits to unlock.

Gold may be purchased through our supported third-party payment processor, Stripe. Silver may be earned through free site activities, such as daily check-ins, promotions, or other features made available by the Service.

Prices, Gold values, Silver values, unlock rules, available content, and site features may change with notice.

6. Refunds

Refunds are handled according to our Refund Policy.

Due to the nature of digital content, refunds are generally not provided once content has been accessed, unlocked, or consumed, except where required by law or in specific cases such as duplicate charges, verified technical issues that prevent access to purchased content, or unauthorized transactions.

To request a refund, please contact us at contact@fatgoosenovel.com and include your order information and a description of the issue.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available."

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or harmful components.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, availability, legality, or quality of any content provided through the Service. Your use of the Service is at your own risk.
