By accessing or using ReadForPay, operated at readforpay.com, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. Description of Service

ReadForPay connects publishers with readers. Readers receive access to books, complete reading assignments, and submit proof of completion. Proof may include an optional Amazon review link or a written report, depending on the assignment instructions.

Readers are compensated for completing approved assignments, not for writing positive reviews or manipulating ratings.
