Terms & conditions, in plain words.

1 · Agreement to these terms

By accessing, browsing or using Quotes Hub Online (“the Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must stop using the Site immediately. These terms form a binding agreement between you and Quotes Hub Online (“we”, “us”, “our”).

2 · What the Site is

Quotes Hub Online is a free, public library of quotes, quotations, one-liners and sayings across 22 thematic collections (attitude, love, success, friendship, day-wise collections and more), with fresh lines added every day. The Site is provided as a static website: content is pre-built and served to readers. It exists to help people find the right line for the right moment — copy it, share it, post it, print it — instantly and without payment.

3 · Definitions

• “Content” means everything made available on the Site — quotes, captions, author attributions, collection descriptions, guides, FAQs, images, design, layout, logos, code and text.
• “User” / “you” means any visitor to the Site, whether casual reader, regular, contributor or visitor from a link or search engine, without any registration.
• “Library” means the complete structured collection of Content, including collections, indexes, metadata and selection ordering.

4 · Your licence to use the Content

Subject to these terms, we grant you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to read, copy, quote, share, repost and use individual quotes and captions from the Site for personal, social, educational and client work — including commercial client deliverables — without payment or permission. A caption on your reel, a line in your Instagram bio, a message to a friend, a slide in a presentation: all of it is fine, forever.

This licence has three limits:

• Attribution honesty. You may not present another person’s classical line as your own original work. Keep the author’s name next to the quote when you can; it is the only payment most authors ever receive.
• No wholesale redistribution. You may not republish, repackage or resell the Library — or substantial sections of it — as a competing website, dataset, ebook, database, app or feed, with or without attribution, without our written permission.
• No misuse of the Site. You may not interfere with the Site’s availability, scrape it aggressively, or attempt to circumvent rate limits or access controls.

5 · What is not allowed

The following are expressly prohibited and may result in your access being blocked and, where applicable, legal action:

• Bulk scraping, crawling or downloading of the Library using automated means, whether for datasets, ML training corpora, or mirrors — personal, infrequent reading is obviously fine.
• Re-publishing the Site or its collections as an ebook, compilation, paid product or “quotes app” without written permission.
• Removing, hiding or corrupting author attributions, or claiming classical authors’ lines as your original work.
• Using the Site to publish, transmit or distribute unlawful, defamatory, obscene, infringing or hateful material.
• Attempting to gain unauthorised access to the Site’s infrastructure, or using the Site in violation of applicable law.

6 · Authorship & attribution

Quotes belong to their authors. Classical quotations are classical public-domain literature in most jurisdictions and are attributed wherever the source is known. Original lines written for this Library are first published here. When you share a line, please share the author with it — Rumi, Kabir, Tagore, Oscar Wilde, Gandhi — the line carries their voice; the name is the receipt. If you believe any line on this Site is wrongly attributed, misquoted or infringing, report it through the contact page and we will investigate and correct it, usually within days.

7 · Intellectual property

The design, code, layout, curation, collection structure, original written content, logos, favicon and brand identity of Quotes Hub Online are © Quotes Hub Online, all rights reserved. Individual quotations remain the property of their respective authors or their estates; classical works remain public domain. Nothing in these terms transfers copyright from an author to you — or from us to you. Fair-dealing principles apply to individual quoted lines used for commentary, criticism, illustration, teaching and sharing.

8 · User submissions

If you voluntarily submit a quote, correction or suggestion to us (through the contact page or any other channel):

• you represent that the submission is your own original work, or that you have the right to submit it, or that it is in the public domain;
• you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to edit, adapt, publish, attribute and redistribute the submission on the Site and in any related materials;
• you will not be paid for submissions, and submission does not create an employment or partnership relationship;
• we may decline or edit submissions for quality, length, legality or duplication without explanation.

We will always attribute a submission to its author where an author name is provided and the line is published.

9 · Third-party links & images

The Site may link to external websites (for example, sources of attribution) and may serve decorative images from Unsplash’s CDN. Those third parties operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control, endorse or accept responsibility for their content, accuracy, availability or practices. Clicking a third-party link is at your own risk.

10 · Copyright complaints & takedown

If you are a copyright owner (or an authorised agent) and believe Content on the Site infringes your rights, send a notice to hello@onlinequoteshub.com containing: your contact details, identification of the work claimed to be infringed, the exact URL of the material, a statement of good-faith belief, a statement that the information is accurate, and your physical or electronic signature. We investigate every complete notice and remove or correct infringing material — verified takedowns are actioned within 72 working hours. Knowingly false takedown claims may make you liable for damages.

11 · Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and its Content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind — express, implied or statutory — including accuracy, completeness, availability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and merchantability. Quotes are cultural and literary material, not professional advice. Do not rely on any quote on this Site for medical, legal, financial, safety, mental-health or any other professional decision. To the full extent permitted by law, we disclaim all such warranties.

12 · Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Quotes Hub Online, its authors, editors and operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages — including loss of data, loss of profits, business interruption or emotional distress — arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site, any Content, or reliance on anything published on it. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the Site — which is ₹0.

13 · Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Quotes Hub Online from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Site, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right — including misattributed or infringing material you submit to us.

14 · Availability & changes to the Site

We may add, modify, reorganise or remove any Content or feature at any time, with or without notice. New quotes are added daily and trending lines move in and out of curation. Access may be interrupted for maintenance, corrections or abuse prevention. We are under no obligation to keep any particular quote, collection or feature available, and removal of Content is not a breach of these terms.

15 · Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date and, where significant, a notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. It is your responsibility to review this page periodically.

16 · Severability & waiver

If any provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision at any time is not a waiver of that right or provision. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

17 · Governing law & jurisdiction

These terms are governed by and construed under the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of India. Questions or complaints? The contact page reaches a human — most issues are resolved there before any legal escalation is needed.

18 · Entire agreement

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Quotes Hub Online regarding use of the Site, and supersede all prior understandings, whether written or oral.
