Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Public Domain Literature Library (the “Library”) at qasui.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Library. We may revise these terms from time to time, and your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. It is your responsibility to review the terms periodically for updates.
Use of the Library
The Library is provided for lawful, personal, non-commercial use. You may read, download, and print works from the catalogue for personal study, research, or enjoyment. You may not reproduce, distribute, display, or otherwise use the content for commercial purposes without prior written permission from the copyright holder, where applicable. This includes, but is not limited to, republication in any form, use in educational courses for a fee, or incorporation into products for sale. If you are uncertain whether a particular use qualifies as commercial, we encourage you to seek legal advice or contact us for clarification.
Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Library in any way that violates applicable law or these terms.
- Engage in automated extraction, scraping, or data mining of the catalogue or its contents without our express written permission. This includes the use of bots, crawlers, or similar tools.
- Interfere with the operation of the Library, including by introducing malware, overloading servers, or attempting to circumvent security measures.
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting us.
- Attempt to access restricted areas of the Library or systems without authorization.
Content and Copyright
The works in the Library are presented as public-domain texts or transcriptions of works that are believed to be in the public domain in many jurisdictions. However, copyright laws vary by country, and it is your responsibility to verify the legal status of any work before using it in a manner that may require permission. Some works may include editorial notes, introductions, or other original material that may be protected by copyright. Such material is marked where possible, and you should assume it is not in the public domain unless stated otherwise. For example, the edition insights or reader’s guides accompanying works like "The poems of Edgar Allan Poe" or "Poems of Nature" are original contributions and may not be freely reproduced without permission.
User Contributions and Feedback
If you submit feedback, suggestions, or corrections to the Library, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, modify, and incorporate such contributions for the improvement of the Library. We are under no obligation to treat such submissions as confidential. You represent that your submissions do not infringe any third-party rights.
Accuracy and Limitations
We strive to provide accurate transcriptions and bibliographic information, but we do not guarantee that the texts are error-free, complete, or identical to any particular edition. Transcriptions may contain errors introduced during digitization, and editorial notes reflect the views of the catalogue project, not necessarily the original author. The Library is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Library will meet your requirements or that access will be uninterrupted or secure.
Third-Party Links
The Library may contain links to third-party websites for your convenience. We do not endorse or control the content of those sites and are not responsible for their practices or policies. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your use of the Library and for ensuring that your use complies with applicable laws and these terms. If you choose to download or share any content, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for any consequences. You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials, if applicable.
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Library and its content are provided without any warranty, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy. We do not warrant that the Library will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so these exclusions may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
In no event shall the Library, its editor, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Library, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, data, or goodwill. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.
Suspension and Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Library for any user who violates these terms or engages in abusive or disruptive behavior. Such actions may be taken without prior notice. In the event of termination, you must cease all use of the Library and destroy any copies of content obtained from it, except as permitted by law.
Changes to the Library
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Library at any time without liability. We will endeavor to provide notice of significant changes where practical, but we are not obligated to do so.
Governing Law
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of the United Kingdom.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

If you have questions about these terms or wish to report a copyright concern, please contact the catalogue [email protected]. We will respond as promptly as possible.
