Terms of use

Last updated October 31, 2026. By using Wormies you agree to these terms.

What Wormies is

Wormies is a reading app that lets a book club read their books together, whether from the Wormies Marketplace or from their own copies.

Your books

If books are not from the Wormies Marketplace, you are responsible for having the right to read the files you open in Wormies. Members of a club each need their own copy; the app only compares fingerprints to tell you whether copies match. Backups of your book files are private copies for your account, and the Wormies Marketplace only carries books whose license allows it.

Your account and your clubs

• You need an Apple ID and must be at least 13 years old.
• You are responsible for what you post. Be kind, keep spoilers behind the shield, and respect other members.
• There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Do not post anything hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit, spam or illegal, in notes, replies, messages, surprises, club names or your profile. Wormies filters objectionable language before it is posted.
• You can report any note, reply, message, surprise or member from inside the app, and block anyone; blocked members’ posts disappear for you. We review every report within 24 hours, remove content that breaks these terms and suspend the account that posted it.
• Club owners can remove members, hand the club to another member and close sessions. Any member can leave a club; an owner hands it to another member first.

Free tier, packs and tips

Wormies is free to download and use. Every account can create 5 book clubs and start 10 sessions at no cost. Joining clubs and sessions started by others is always free and unlimited. Capacity packs (+5 clubs or +10 sessions) and surprise packs (10 surprises) are consumable in-app purchases sold through Apple at the price shown in the App Store. Tips are voluntary and unlock nothing. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies; a refunded pack reduces your capacity but never removes clubs or sessions you already created.

Availability

We work hard to keep Wormies running, but it is provided as is, without warranties. We may change or discontinue features at any time.

Liability

To the extent allowed by law, Wormies is not liable for indirect or consequential damages.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; material changes are announced in the app. Questions go to support@wormies.app.
