<dt>I haven't signed an agreement, but my books are listed on Unglue.it. What's going on?</dt>
<dd>If your book is listed on Unglue.it, it's because an unglue.it user has indicated some interested in the book. Perhaps your book has been added to a user's favorites list. Users can also use the site to post links to Creative Commons licensed or public domain books. Unglue.it works with non-profit sites such as Internet Archive to improve their coverage and preservation of Creative Commons licensed books.
</dd>
<dt>I didn't give you permission to offer my CC-licensed book for download. Why is it there?</dt>
<dd>When we don't have an agreement with a rights-holder, our download links lead to only reputable sites such as Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, or Google Books. We are able to provide those links based on the fair use provisions of copyright. We strive to keep our information accurate, so the license we report is inaccurate, please <a href="mailto:rights@gluejar.com?subject=corrections">let us know</a> immediately. If for some reason you don't want us to provide download links, let us know using the "feedback" tab next to your book's page and we'll make a notation to that effect in our metadata. We may require evidence that you are authorized to act for the rights holders of your book.
</dd>
<dt>Do I need to know the exact titles I might want to unglue before I sign the Platform Services Agreement?</dt>
<dd>No. You only need to agree to the terms under which you will use Unglue.it to raise money. You can decide which specific titles you wish to make available for licensing later. However, before you start a campaign, you must claim a specific title (through the More... tab of its book page) and plan how you will attract ungluers to pledge toward your goal.</dd>
