Terms and Conditions

1. Using ReadForPay

Using ReadForPay at readforpay.com means you agree to these Terms and Conditions. Anyone who does not accept them must not use or continue using the reader platform.

2. Who May Participate

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• You must live in the United States or Canada. United Kingdom readers may participate only when UK registration is shown as available during signup.
• U.S. and Canadian readers must have an active Amazon account with at least $50 in annual purchase history. UK readers must have an active Amazon.co.uk account with at least £40 spent using a credit or debit card in the past 12 months.
• You must provide accurate identity, contact, tax, and payout information when requested.
• Participation requires compliance with applicable FTC rules as well as Amazon's terms and community guidelines.

3. Your Account

Each person may hold one account. For duplicate accounts, false information, or sharing account access, ReadForPay may independently suspend the account, terminate it, or forfeit unpaid balances where permitted by law.

Each reader must use their own Amazon account. If a review comes from an Amazon account that belongs to another ReadForPay reader, ReadForPay pauses new books and payouts on both accounts while it reviews them.

4. Book Work and Completion

ReadForPay provides books and reading assignments with a way to prove completion. Depending on the instructions, proof can be a written book report or an optional Amazon review link.

Compensation covers approved completion of reading work; it is not for positive reviews or any attempt at manipulating ratings.

5. Pickup Limits and Deadlines

• Trial readers may hold 1 active assignment. After your first completed assignment, you may hold up to 2 active assignments unless ReadForPay changes your limit.
• Trial readers may pick up 1 book per 7-day period. After your first completed assignment, you may pick up up to 5 books per 7-day period unless ReadForPay changes your limit.
• Each assignment has a deadline. Missed deadlines may expire automatically.
• Your first assignment may be an unpaid trial. Completing it unlocks paid assignments.

6. Honest Reviews and Book Reports

• Any Amazon review you choose to submit must be honest, independent, and based on your genuine opinion.
• You are not required to leave a positive review.
• You may not submit fake, copied, AI-generated, recycled, or misleading work.
• You may not coordinate ratings, participate in review swaps, or manipulate review outcomes.
• You may not delete, edit, or otherwise alter a review to trigger payment, avoid detection, or make an assignment appear complete.
• ReadForPay may reject submissions, request revisions, or remove access at its discretion.

7. Approval, Earnings, and Payouts

• Earnings are credited only after a submission is approved.
• Supported U.S. and Canadian reader payouts are processed through Stripe Connect Express. UK reader payouts use Stripe Global Payouts when that payout option is available for the account.
• You are responsible for completing payout onboarding and keeping payout details current.
• You are responsible for taxes and reporting related to your earnings.
• ReadForPay may withhold, reverse, or offset payments for fraud, policy violations, review-integrity risk, chargebacks, or platform abuse.

9. Conduct That Is Not Allowed

• Creating multiple accounts or using false identities
• Submitting fraudulent, plagiarized, AI-generated, or fabricated work
• Creating review-integrity risk through deleted, altered, unavailable, or mismatched reviews after verification
• Sharing, distributing, selling, or copying book files or assignment materials
• Removing, covering, or cropping out a watermark on a book file
• Using bots, scripts, automation, or scraping tools
• Attempting to circumvent rate limits, account restrictions, or platform controls
• Harassing other users, support staff, or administrators
• Using another person's Amazon account, or letting another reader use yours
• Abusing referrals, as described in section 10

10. Referral Bonuses

• Referred readers must live in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom. A referral bonus is earned only when both you and the reader you refer use ReadForPay from one of these countries.
• If someone signs up from outside these countries, or through the link of a reader who cannot refer, the account can still be created, but nobody earns a referral bonus for it.
• If you are trying to game the system, you will lose access to referrals.
• ReadForPay reviews every referral before it pays a bonus and may reject any referral that it believes is not genuine.
• Abuse of referrals results in your referred readers not getting paid out and your referral access being revoked. When ReadForPay rejects a referral, both the reader who referred and the referred reader lose the ability to refer, and none of their pending referral bonuses are paid.
• Referral abuse includes referring yourself, creating or controlling accounts for other people, sharing accounts, and referring people outside the supported countries. ReadForPay may also suspend or terminate accounts involved in referral abuse, as described in section 13.

11. Audiobook Assignments

Audiobook work is paid for completed listening, not for a positive review. You may provide a screenshot of an honest published Audible review showing the review text, star rating, and audiobook title, or upload a written report of at least 750 words as a Word .docx file on the assignment page. ReadForPay does not receive or verify your Audible listening percentage.

Promo codes are personal to the assigned account and marketplace. You must not share, sell, reuse, or claim a code for another person. False redemption or completion evidence can result in rejection, loss of audiobook access, or account action.

12. Rights in Book Materials

Books provided through ReadForPay remain the property of their authors and rights holders. You receive a limited, personal, non-transferable license to read assigned materials only for the assignment.

13. Loss of Account Access

ReadForPay may suspend or terminate an account for account, conduct, lifecycle, deadline, onboarding, closure, duplicate, abuse, fraud, or other policy reasons. This includes missed deadlines; inactivity or incomplete onboarding; voluntary closure; duplicate accounts; review abuse; fraud; and other policy reasons. Any suspension or termination forfeits your entire unpaid balance where permitted by law.

This may include review-integrity risk, broad review-removal patterns, repeated unavailable or mismatched review links, or a user-requested suspension or closure.

14. Availability and Liability Limits

The reader platform is offered on an as is and as available basis. ReadForPay does not guarantee uninterrupted access, assignment availability, earnings, payout timing, or any other specific outcome.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ReadForPay is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the service.

15. Governing Law and Future Changes

The laws of the United States govern these terms. ReadForPay may revise them in the future. If you continue using the reader platform after revised terms are posted, you accept the updated terms.
