Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Historical Education Archive website (ukixu.com) and its catalogue of ebooks, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should discontinue use of the site immediately. Continued use constitutes acceptance of any updates to these terms, which will be posted here.
Lawful Personal Use
The ebooks and accompanying editorial content are offered for lawful personal, educational, and non-commercial purposes. You may read, download, and share copies of ebooks for your own use or for educational discussion, provided you do not alter the content or remove any bibliographic notes, credits, or disclaimers. Any commercial redistribution, republication, or sale of the ebooks or their metadata without prior written permission is prohibited.
Prohibited Misuse
You must not use the site or its content for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, national, or international law. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to: impersonating any person or entity; infringing upon the intellectual property or privacy rights of others; transmitting viruses, malware, or any harmful code; and engaging in any conduct that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the site's functionality.
Automated Extraction and Interference
Automated scraping, data mining, robotic extraction, or any other form of bulk downloading of ebooks or metadata is not permitted without our prior written consent. You may not use any automated means to interfere with the proper working of the site, including by imposing an unreasonable load on our servers. We reserve the right to monitor access patterns and to block or limit access from any IP address or user agent that engages in such activities.
Bibliographic and Transcription Limitations
The ebooks in our catalogue are sourced from public-domain editions and may contain transcription errors, missing pages, or imperfections inherent in historical materials. Editorial notes and reading guides are prepared to the best of our ability but are not definitive scholarly editions. We make no representation that any transcription is complete or error-free. Users should verify critical passages against original sources where accuracy is essential.
Jurisdiction-Dependent Copyright and Public-Domain Status
We strive to include only works that are in the public domain in the United States and in New Zealand, where our editorial office is based. However, copyright laws vary by country, and a work that is public domain in one jurisdiction may still be protected in another. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of any ebook is lawful in your location. We do not guarantee that every ebook is free of copyright restrictions worldwide.
User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your use of the site and its content. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Historical Education Archive, its editors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, or losses arising from your violation of these terms or your infringement of any third-party rights.
Third-Party Links
The site may contain links to external websites or resources that are not operated or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of those sites. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement. You access third-party sites at your own risk.
Technical Availability
We aim to maintain reliable access to the catalogue, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. The site may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site without prior notice.
Editorial Notes and Presentation
Editorial content, including reading guides, category descriptions, and thematic notes, represents the views of our editors and is provided for informational and educational purposes. It is not professional legal, academic, or investment advice. We may update or correct editorial content at any time without notice.
Rights-Holder Notices
If you believe that any content on the site infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please contact our the catalogue project@ukixu.com with sufficient information to allow us to evaluate your claim. We will respond promptly and take appropriate action, which may include removing the allegedly infringing material.

Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE HISTORICAL EDUCATION ARCHIVE, ITS EDITORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO ALL CLAIMS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
Suspension of Abusive Access
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the site for any user who violates these terms or engages in abusive, disruptive, or unlawful behavior. Such actions may be taken without prior notice and at our sole discretion.
Service Changes
We may update, modify, or discontinue any feature of the site, including the catalogue, editorial content, or these Terms of Use, at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
