Acceptable use and takedown policy

Lanternbee is for authors selling their own books and related products. Stores must not be used to:

• sell work you do not have the rights to, including pirated or plagiarised books and AI-generated imitations of other authors’ work presented as theirs;
• sell content that is illegal where the store operates, including sexual content involving minors in any form, content that incites violence, or terrorist content;
• deceive readers, for example with fake reviews, misleading descriptions or phishing;
• send email to people who have not agreed to receive it;
• attack, overload or probe Lanternbee or other stores.

Adult fiction is allowed when it is legal, described honestly and marked with the store’s content warnings.

Reporting content

To report a store or a book, including a copyright claim, email [abuse contact email — to be completed] with the store address, the book, what is wrong and, for copyright, proof that you hold the rights. We acknowledge reports within 2 working days.

What we do

We review each report, contact the author when appropriate and may remove a book or suspend a store. Authors can appeal by replying to our message. Repeated or serious breaches lead to closing the account under the terms of service.
