Limited vs. Unlimited Downloads
There are distinctive Free-eBooks.net Membership levels granting their respective users eBook downloads with different quantities.
Standard Members are granted access to a maximum of 1 eBooks per month, in either PDF or TXT formats, in addition to unlimited, online previews of eBooks in HTML or PDF formats. “Per month” is based on calendar months and each Standard Member’s access is automatically cleared on the 1st of each new, calendar month. Standard Members are not authorized or able to download ePub or Mobipocket formats.
Trial V.I.P. Members are those people who are granted free trials of our V.I.P. Memberships. These include, but are not limited to, our 1-Week V.I.P. Memberships awarded for 1) those inviting others through our “Refer- a-Friend” functions 2) those who “Like” us on Facebook or “Tweet” us via Twitter and 3) those who complete their Personal Profile page for our community.
Recipients of Free Trial Memberships may download up to 15 eBooks in any of the formats offered, prior to their trial’s expiry date. If a Trial V.I.P. Member uses all 15 downloads, their Trial V.I.P. Memberships automatically expires, regardless of any remaining time left on their Trial. For example, if a user receives a 7-day V.I.P. Trial membership and elects to download 15 different eBooks on day 1, their Trial V.I.P. Membership will expire that same day (day 1) after the 15th eBook downloaded. This user will have exhausted their trial access prior to their expiry date, regardless of the six remaining days of V.I.P. Membership. Upon the expiry of a Trial V.I.P. Membership, the user will become a Standard Member and will be awarded 1 eBook download in PDF or TXT (as above), beginning the following calendar month and each month thereafter.
V.I.P. Members are granted “Unlimited” downloads, within reason. There is a volume “cap”that restricts V.I.P. Members from downloading more than 500 eBooks per 30 day period; well above the number of eBooks most readers elect to download in such a reasonable timeframe. These security measures exist to protect all authors and their content from those individuals who copy or “farm” the Free-eBooks.com library, in order to resell these same eBooks which is illegal and, therefore, policed and enforced under International Copyright Laws.
