These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of EbookOrigin.com (the “Site”). By accessing our Site or purchasing an eBook, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Digital Content License
When you purchase an eBook from EbookOrigin.com, you are not purchasing “ownership” of the content. Instead, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal license to download and read the file.
- Prohibited Uses: You may not share, redistribute, sell, sub-license, or modify the eBook files.
- Device Limits: You may download the file to your personal devices for your own use only.
2. Digital Rights Management (DRM) and Watermarking
To protect the intellectual property of our authors and publishers, EbookOrigin.com may employ technical protection measures:
- DRM Encryption: Some eBooks may be encrypted with Digital Rights Management technology (such as Adobe DRM). This may require specific software or hardware to access the content.
- Digital Watermarking: We may embed unique, invisible identifiers (Social DRM) into your downloaded files. These identifiers link the file to your account and order number to discourage unauthorized sharing.
- Anti-Circumvention: You agree not to bypass, modify, defeat, or circumvent any of the security features or DRM applied to the eBooks. Any attempt to do so is a material breach of these Terms and may result in the immediate termination of your account without a refund.
3. Payments & Pricing

- Accuracy: We reserve the right to correct pricing errors or cancel orders resulting from technical glitches.
- Taxes: You are responsible for any local sales tax or VAT applicable to your jurisdiction.

Due to the nature of digital content, all sales are final. With the sole exception of technical issues (below), we do not offer any form of refund in respect of our digital products.
