Terms and Conditions
Effective date: 14 November 2026. By downloading, installing, or using TropeShelf, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.
Alexandr Korsak (Bitscorp), a self-employed professional (autónomo) in Spain, operates the mobile application TropeShelf (co.bitscorp.tropeshelf). Bitscorp is a trading name, not a registered company. This page applies to TropeShelf on iOS and Android. The website
https://bitscorp.co has a separate
Privacy Policy and
Terms and Conditions.
The app
TropeShelf is a reading log for romance and romantasy. You keep shelves, tropes, a spice note, series order, sessions, quotes, and a yearly goal. Book search uses Open Library. Your shelves stay on the device. There is no TropeShelf account.
I grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use TropeShelf on devices you own or control, in line with the App Store or Google Play terms and these Terms.
No Bitscorp account
TropeShelf does not require you to create an account with me. You are responsible for the device, for keeping operating-system access under your control, and for any content you enter, import, or share.
Subscriptions and payments
TropeShelf offers a free set of features and a paid Pro upgrade. Pro may be sold as an auto-renewing subscription and, where available, as a one-time lifetime (non-consumable) purchase. The plans currently offered are:
- Pro Monthly (auto-renews each month). Intended US list price $4.99. The price you pay is the price Apple or Google displays at the time of purchase in your territory, which may differ.
- Pro Yearly (auto-renews each year). Intended US list price $36.00. The price you pay is the price Apple or Google displays at the time of purchase in your territory, which may differ.
- Pro Lifetime (one-time, non-consumable). Intended US list price $99.00. The price you pay is the price Apple or Google displays at the time of purchase in your territory, which may differ.
Payments are charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account. Auto-renewing subscriptions renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your
App Store account settings or
Google Play subscriptions. Deleting the app does not by itself cancel a subscription. A lifetime purchase is a one-time unlock, not a subscription, and is restored with Restore Purchases on a device signed into the same store account.
Purchases are also subject to Apple's
Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard EULA) when you download TropeShelf from the App Store, and to the Google Play terms when you download it from Google Play. If those store terms and these Terms conflict on a store-billing matter, the store terms control for that matter.
Acceptable use
You may use TropeShelf only for lawful purposes and only with data you have a right to use. You may not attempt to reverse engineer the app except where the law allows it, abuse the payment system, or use the app in a way that harms others.
Disclaimers
TropeShelf is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the extent permitted by law.
- TropeShelf is a personal reading log. Open Library records can be incomplete or wrong. Trope labels and spice notes are what you write, not an official content rating or a recommendation.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Alexandr Korsak (Bitscorp) is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost opportunities, arising from your use of TropeShelf. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under the law of Spain or other mandatory consumer law that applies to you.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep any mandatory protections of the country where you live. The courts of Spain have jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law gives you the right to sue in your place of residence.
Changes to these Terms
These Terms are effective as of 14 November 2026. I may update them from time to time. The current version will always be at
https://bitscorp.co/tropeshelf/terms. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated Terms, except where applicable law requires a different process.
