Welcome to Urnovl, where we empower readers and writers to connect through the stories they love. To ensure that Urnovl remains a safe, creative, and welcoming space, we've established the following House Rules. By using Urnovl, you agree to adhere to these guidelines.
If you violate any of these rules, your account and/or content may be subject to moderation, suspension, or removal. If you notice any violations of these rules, please report it to: support@urnovl.co

We will never ask you to provide personal data such as phone numbers or home addresses.
3. Share Original and Appropriate Content
We encourage creativity, but please respect the intellectual property of others and maintain appropriate content standards.
Post only content that you created or have permission to share. Plagiarizing or reposting other people's work without credit is strictly prohibited.
You can only post stories, novels, and images you own or have the right to use them. It's your responsibility to ensure that the content you post doesn't violate any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
Urnovl is for everyone. Avoid posting explicit, pornographic, excessively violent, or graphic material. We may remove any content that we deem inappropriate for the platform.
Remember that our community is 13+ and content should be minor/child friendly. Adult content and/or nudity is prohibited.
Any content you post like title, summary, cover, tags should be accurate, clean and modest. No nudity or graphic content is allowed.
You should accurately depict your content by choosing the right genre or title. Summaries and covers should help the reader understand what your story is about.
You are only allowed to upload high quality illustrations, images and photographs.
Covers should attract readers to read your novel. They should also be meaningful and correlated with the content of the novel.
Your profile name, picture and info should be clean and not feature nudity or graphic content.
You own any content and cover images you upload as long as you are the rightful owner or have the right to upload such content.

4. Keep Things Legal
Respect the law while using Urnovl.
5. Engage Constructively
Urnovl thrives on positive and meaningful interactions between users.
Avoid excessively promoting yourself, your products, or services. It's fine to share your work, but don't spam other users with unsolicited advertisements or promotions.
You must not post generic requests for other users to read/comment on your story. Flooding another writer with messages is not a good way to communicate and make friends.

To keep Urnovl safe and enjoyable, we actively moderate content and user interactions.
Repeated or severe violations of these House Rules may result in suspension or permanent removal of your account.

8. Reporting Issues
If you encounter any issues, see something inappropriate, or have concerns, don't hesitate to contact us.
Use our reporting tools or email support@urnovl.co for assistance.
We are committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming community for all users.
Additional Guidelines
When you write a story, you will have to choose the most suitable Creative Commons license according to your needs.
It's your responsibility to let other users know how your content may be shared and adjust the settings related to accessing and sharing your content accordingly. We do not monitor or control what others do with your content.
In collaborations, licenses are set by the first author and the following authors agree to abide by those rules and limitations.
To learn more about Creative Commons licenses please visit http://creativecommons.org/.
Deleting a story is very easy if it is in Solo mode and while the story is ongoing. For security reasons, you will have to remove the chapters first from your story overview and then proceed to delete the story from your profile.
If the story is complete, you will have to revert it back to its Ongoing state, and then follow the procedure above.
Things differ while in Collaboration Mode though. Deleting content while a story is collaborative might be more complicated.
After you complete a story, there is no way of deleting your content unless serious justification is provided.
If you want to delete your content after completion, please contact us at support@urnovl.co explaining the reasons why you want to delete it.
