Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern the use of the Manga & Comics Reader app (the "App"), developed and made available by Torres Applications, a brand used by the independent developer Maykow Roberto Lima Torres, based in Pernambuco, Brazil ("Torres Applications", "we", "us"). They explain what the App does, what you may and may not do with it and the responsibilities of each party. Please read them carefully.

This English version is provided for convenience. In case of any discrepancy, the Portuguese version prevails (item 14.3).

1. Acceptance

1.1. By installing, opening or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy, which forms part of them. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1.2. Acceptance is recorded on the device itself the first time the App is opened, with the date and the version of the documents accepted. Both documents are always available under Settings > About Manga & Comics Reader.

1.3. If you are under 18, use the App with the knowledge and supervision of your parents or legal guardians, who are responsible for your acts under civil law (item 4).

2. What the App is

2.1. Manga & Comics Reader is exclusively a software tool for organizing and reading comic and document files in the PDF, CBZ, CBR, CB7 and CBT formats that are already on your device or that you receive from other apps.

2.2. The App does not host, sell, provide, recommend or distribute manga, comics, books or any other content. It has no catalog, store, online search for titles, links to third-party websites or any content download feature. Every title opened in the App is chosen and imported by you.

2.3. When you import a title, the App keeps a working copy in its private storage, inside your device, so that reading works offline and quickly. The original file is not changed, moved or deleted.

2.4. Reading, organization and progress happen locally, on your device. No title, copy or reading data is sent to Torres Applications' servers.

3. License

3.1. Torres Applications grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable license to use the App, for personal and non-commercial purposes, under Brazilian Law No. 9,609/1998 (Software Law) and Law No. 9,610/1998 (Copyright Law).

3.2. The license does not transfer to you any ownership rights over the App. Everything not expressly permitted in these Terms is reserved to Torres Applications.

4. Children and adolescents

4.1. The App is intended for the general public and is not directed at children. Since it only opens the files that the person chooses, the content displayed is determined by whoever uses the device.

4.2. Manga and comics may have their own age ratings. It is up to parents and guardians to keep track of the titles that children and adolescents import and read, and we recommend using the parental supervision tools of the operating system and the app store.

4.3. The App observes the Brazilian Statute of Children and Adolescents (Law No. 8,069/1990) and the Digital Statute of Children and Adolescents (Law No. 15,211/2025), including with regard to advertising (item 9.3 and Privacy Policy).

5. Intellectual property of the App

5.1. The source code and object code, the architecture, design, interface, themes, illustrations, texts, icon, name and brand of the App belong to Torres Applications or its licensors and are protected by Brazilian law and international treaties.

5.2. The open source components included in the App remain governed by their own licenses, which can be read under Settings > About Manga & Comics Reader > Open source licenses. Nothing in these Terms restricts the rights those licenses grant in relation to the respective components.

6. Prohibited conduct

The following are prohibited without the prior written authorization of Torres Applications:

• reproducing, copying, distributing, publishing, selling, renting, lending or sublicensing the App, in whole or in part;
• reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling or in any way attempting to extract the source code of the App, except in the cases of article 6 of Law No. 9,609/1998;
• modifying the App or creating altered, "modded", "unlocked" versions or versions redistributed with third-party content;
• circumventing, disabling or interfering with security, licensing, subscription or ad display mechanisms;
• removing, hiding or altering copyright, trademark or license notices;
• using the App to infringe copyright or any third-party rights;
• using the App for any unlawful purpose or any purpose contrary to these Terms.

Breach of this clause immediately terminates the license and subjects the infringer to the applicable civil and criminal measures, including those provided for in article 12 of Law No. 9,609/1998, articles 102 to 110 of Law No. 9,610/1998 and article 184 of the Brazilian Penal Code.

7. Copyright in the titles and anti-piracy

7.1. Torres Applications does not support, encourage or tolerate piracy. Manga and comics are the result of the work of authors, artists, translators and publishers, who deserve to be paid. Whenever possible, buy titles through official channels.

7.2. You are solely responsible for the origin, legality and licensing of the files you import and read in the App, and you declare that you have the right to use them — for example, because you bought them, received a license from the rights holder, wrote them yourself, they are in the public domain or they are distributed free of charge by the rights holder.

7.3. Torres Applications has no access to your collection and does not control, verify, select or take responsibility for the content of the files you choose to open, nor for the use you make of them. Whoever carries out that use is responsible for it, under the law.

7.4. Technical protection (DRM). The App respects technical copyright protection measures: it does not remove, break or circumvent DRM, passwords or any other protection. Protected files may simply not open — which is expected.

7.5. No sharing of titles. The App has no feature to send imported titles to other people, to other apps or to the internet. The organization backup (item 8) does not contain titles.

7.6. Channel for rights holders. If you are a rights holder and find the App, its brand or its promotional material associated with infringing content — for example, modified versions of the App distributed with third-party titles —, write to torres.software.app@gmail.com, identifying the work, the material and the person responsible. We will review the request and take the measures within our reach.

8. Your data and the backup

8.1. Imported titles, progress, bookmarks, collections, series, shelves and preferences are stored only on your device. Torres Applications does not keep a copy of this data.

8.2. Uninstalling the App, clearing its data, or losing, damaging or replacing the device may make this data unrecoverable. The Settings > Backup feature exports your organization (without the titles) to a file that you keep wherever you want; keeping that file in a safe place is your responsibility.

9. Free version, ads and Manga & Comics Reader Premium

9.1. Free version. The App is offered free of charge. Torres Applications may display in the free version ads provided by Google AdMob, such as banners and optional videos, so as not to interrupt reading in an abusive way. Before ads start being displayed, the App will be updated and will inform you of the change; the data processing involved is described in the Privacy Policy.

9.2. Manga & Comics Reader Premium. Torres Applications may offer a paid version ("Premium"), by subscription or one-time purchase, that removes ads and/or unlocks additional features. The features included, the price, the billing period, any trial period, automatic renewal and how to cancel will be shown in the store itself, before purchase.

9.3. Ads shown to people whom the system or the store identifies as under 18 years of age, or who have not given consent, will be non-personalized, without profiling for advertising purposes, in accordance with article 22 of Law No. 15,211/2025 and the LGPD.

9.4. Payments, renewals, cancellations and refunds are processed exclusively by the app store (for example, Google Play) and are also subject to its terms. Torres Applications does not receive or store your card or bank account details. The purchase is linked to your store account and can be recovered on another device through the restore purchases option, when available.

9.5. The subscription can be canceled at any time in the store settings. Cancellation stops future charges; the period already paid remains valid until it ends.

9.6. Your consumer rights, including the right of withdrawal under article 49 of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code, can be exercised through the store's channels or through our contact e-mail.

10. Warranties and limitation of liability

10.1. We work to make the App work well, but comic and PDF files vary a lot and depend on how each one was produced. For this reason, we do not guarantee that every existing file will open perfectly, nor uninterrupted or error-free operation on all devices and system versions.

10.2. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Torres Applications is not liable:

• for the content, origin or lawfulness of the titles you import, nor for the use you make of them;
• for loss of data resulting from uninstalling, clearing data, failure, loss or replacement of the device, or from the lack of a backup;
• for corrupted or incomplete files or files protected by a password or DRM;
• for failures of the device, the operating system, the app store or third-party services;
• for indirect damages or loss of profits resulting from improper use of the App.

10.3. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the rights that the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code (Law No. 8,078/1990) grants you.

11. Availability, updates and termination

11.1. The App may receive updates that add, change or remove features, including to fix bugs, improve security or comply with legal and store requirements.

11.2. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. In case of breach of these Terms, especially items 6 and 7, the license is terminated automatically, without prejudice to the applicable legal measures.

12. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated to reflect changes in the App or in the law. The version and date at the top indicate the text in force. Relevant changes will be communicated in the App itself before they take effect and, when required by law, a new acceptance will be requested.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

13.1. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, in particular the Consumer Protection Code (Law No. 8,078/1990), the Brazilian Internet Civil Framework (Law No. 12,965/2014), the General Data Protection Law (Law No. 13,709/2018), the Software Law (Law No. 9,609/1998), the Copyright Law (Law No. 9,610/1998) and the Digital Statute of Children and Adolescents (Law No. 15,211/2025).

13.2. The courts of the user's domicile are chosen to settle any matter related to these Terms, under article 101, item I, of the Consumer Protection Code.

14. General provisions

14.1. If any clause is found to be invalid, the others remain valid.

14.2. Tolerance of a breach of any clause does not mean a waiver of the right to enforce it.

14.3. These Terms may be made available in other languages for convenience. In case of any discrepancy, the Portuguese version prevails.
