Barnes & Noble Application End User License Agreement

Last Updated: February 1, 2021

The following Application End User License Agreement (“EULA”) governs your use of any Barnes & Noble or NOOK licensed application, any software contained within it (including any upgrades or updates to the software), any related documentation we make available to you in connection with this application (collectively, the “Application”), and any Digital Content you download or access through the Application (as defined in the Digital Content Terms of Sale). The Application and any Digital Content are Barnes & Noble Services under the barnesandnoble.com Terms and Conditions of Use and the Digital Content Terms of Sale. PLEASE READ THIS EULA CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APPLICATION. BY USING THIS APPLICATION, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS EULA, DO NOT INSTALL AND/OR USE THE APPLICATION.

Unless otherwise explicitly permitted herein, you may not use the Application or the Barnes & Noble Services unless you are at least 13 years of age. If you are at least 13 years of age but under 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater, you represent and warrant that you have obtained the consent of your parent or legal guardian and that you have reviewed this EULA with your parent or legal guardian before accessing or using the Application or Barnes & Noble Services to ensure that you understand this EULA. Otherwise, you represent and warrant that you are: (i) at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater; and (ii) of legal age to form a binding contract. In all cases, you represent and warrant that you are not a person barred from accessing or using the Application or Barnes & Noble Services under the laws of your country of residence or any other applicable jurisdiction.

1. YOUR ACCOUNT

(a) Barnes & Noble Account. You may need to register or open a Barnes & Noble account with us in order to use certain features of the Application. If the Application requires you to open an account, you must complete the registration process by providing us with current, complete and accurate information required by the applicable registration form. You may also be required to accept separate terms of use as a condition of opening the account. Your use of the account to access the Barnes & Noble Services and Digital Content you have acquired from the Barnes & Noble Services is subject to all of the terms governing your Barnes & Noble account. For more information about your Barnes & Noble account, please see the Barnes & Noble Terms and Conditions of Use. You are responsible for keeping your account information and password confidential and are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You may also be able to create a Barnes & Noble account by logging in through a third-party service. By connecting to the Barnes & Noble Services with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service.

(b) Setting up Sub Accounts. Certain Applications allow you to set up linked or subordinate accounts (“Sub Accounts”) for additional users of your Barnes & Noble account. Depending on the settings selected, users of a Sub Account may be able to (i) access and/or view Digital Content; (ii) use the Interactive Community features and social features; and (iii) make purchases or sign up for subscription services to Digital Content via their Barnes & Noble account. We may limit the number of Sub Accounts you may set up.

To set up a Sub Account, you must first register and/or log in to your Barnes & Noble account and follow the guidance for setting up a Sub Account. Both the Barnes & Noble account and the Sub Account will have their own username and password. All users are responsible for: (i) keeping their account information and passwords confidential and secure, (ii) are responsible for all activity that occurs under their Barnes & Noble account or Sub Account.

Your Barnes & Noble account may have access to and control over various aspects of linked Sub Accounts, including (i) access to and availability of Digital Content and parental controls; (ii) financial transactions; and (iii) certain communications from us.

Users may be able to make purchases or sign up for subscription services to Digital Content via the Barnes & Noble Services using a Sub Account. All transactions made by the Sub Account will be processed using the payment information associated with your Barnes & Noble account. Communications from us, including communications about purchases made via the Sub Account, will be sent to your Barnes & Noble account and the email address associated with your Barnes & Noble account, rather than the user of the Sub Account.

Users of Sub Accounts may be able to make use of the Interactive Community features. All material or information posted by a user of a Sub Account (for example, posting Digital Content reviews) will be posted in the name of the Barnes & Noble account holder and not the Sub Account holder. Suspension or termination of your Barnes & Noble account may result in the suspension and termination of all associated Sub Accounts.

IF YOU ARE THE HOLDER OF THE BARNES & NOBLE ACCOUNT REGISTERED WITH THIS APPLICATION, YOU ARE JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LEGALLY AND FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ACTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR BARNES & NOBLE ACCOUNT, INCLUDING ANY SUB ACCOUNTS LINKED TO YOUR BARNES & NOBLE ACCOUNT, AND/OR YOUR APPLICATION.

(c) Sub Accounts for Minors. The Application and the Barnes & Noble Services in general are designed for and directed towards use by adults (those aged 18 years or above). However, where Sub Accounts are available, you may set up a Sub Account for users under the age of 18 years (“Minor(s)”), provided that you are the parent or the legal guardian of the Minor for whom you are setting up the Sub Account. When a Minor reaches 18 years of age, they may set up their own Barnes & Noble account or continue to use a Sub Account.

Please note that Sub Accounts may enable Minors to browse the entirety of the Digital Content made available through the Barnes & Noble Services and make purchases using the credit card associated with your Barnes & Noble account. IF YOU ARE THE HOLDER OF YOUR Barnes & Noble ACCOUNT, YOU REMAIN LEGALLY AND FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ACTIONS OF YOUR MINOR RELATING TO THEIR USE OF YOUR BARNES & NOBLE ACCOUNT AND ANY SUB ACCOUNT(S), AS WELL AS ANY PURCHASES THAT YOUR MINOR MAKES THROUGH THE BARNES & NOBLE SERVICES. We are not responsible and have no liability for any unauthorized usage by Minors and Minors must obtain the consent of their parent or legal guardian to agree to this EULA.

Some Digital Content accessed via the Application or the Barnes & Noble Services may not be age- or otherwise appropriate for Minors. You are responsible for monitoring your Minor’s access to content that may be objectionable or age inappropriate.

If you permit a Minor to use your Application, Barnes & Noble account or to set up a Sub Account, you confirm that you accept this EULA and the Digital Content Terms of Sale on behalf of, and all legal and financial responsibility and liability for the actions of, that Minor and you expressly confirm any acts of that Minor. You also consent to that Minor (i) purchasing Digital Content or signing up for any Digital Content subscription services, (ii) using the credit card that is associated with your Barnes & Noble account, and (iii) posting Digital Content reviews through the Barnes & Noble Services or Barnes & Noble website that will be posted in the name of the Barnes & Noble account holder.

Depending on where you are domiciled, when you create a Sub Account for a Minor the credit card associated with your Barnes & Noble account will be used to verify parental consent required under applicable law. Your credit card may be charged one cent ($0.01) (or relevant local currency equivalent) to validate your consent. Other than the one cent ($0.01) (or relevant local currency equivalent) transaction, there are no fees associated with this process.

If you permit a Minor to use your Application, Barnes & Noble account or to set up a Sub Account, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any personal information that the Minor publicly discloses, intentionally or unintentionally, due to that Minor’s ability to post Digital Content reviews through the Barnes & Noble Services or a Barnes & Noble website, or by using the internet through the web browser. We recommend that as the parent or legal guardian, you discuss with your Minor the importance of not disclosing his or her full name, address, school or other personally identifying information on the Internet. As the parent or legal guardian, you are responsible for monitoring your Minor’s access to your Barnes & Noble account, Sub Account and/or Application, as well as any communications made or received by them through or by means of the Barnes & Noble Services. Content accessible through the Barnes & Noble Services may include links to third-party websites or applications that let you leave the Barnes & Noble Services. These linked sites or applications are not under the control of Barnes & Noble and Barnes & Noble is not responsible for the contents of any linked site or applications or any link contained therein. Barnes & Noble is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Barnes & Noble of such site. Your use of the third-party website or application may be subject to that third party’s terms and conditions. You are solely responsible for obtaining information regarding terms of use of such third parties and their data privacy practices and determining whether such are appropriate for a Minor. More information about how we collect and use information relating to Minors can be found in the “Policies for Minors, including children under the age of 13” headed section in our Privacy Policy.
