These terms describe free reading access, optional support features, and reader conduct.
Last updated: June 12, 2026
Free chapters and optional support
Main chapters are free. Chapter Harbor does not sell chapter unlocks, coins, or required subscriptions for basic reading access.
Tip and Boost are voluntary support options for free digital stories. Current public Tip support amounts can be chosen between $9 and $999.
Optional digital memberships may be offered through the Pricing page for reader services such as a member reading profile, curated reading lists, update digests, and priority support.
Membership subscriptions are digital services. Customers who choose a membership agree to monthly or annual recurring billing at the membership checkout price shown on the Pricing page and checkout page.
Membership subscriptions do not buy physical goods, shipped items, guaranteed chapter delivery, or ownership of story content.
Boosts do not guarantee delivery of a specific update time, chapter count, scene, ending, priority placement, author response, or editorial decision.
No physical goods are shipped. Tip and Boost payments remain one-time support actions and do not create recurring billing, postal delivery, or paid chapter access.
Payments and processors
Payments are processed by the selected checkout provider. Chapter Harbor does not ask readers to send card data by email or support message.
Chapter Harbor does not collect or store full card numbers, card security codes, or full bank account credentials.
Readers must provide accurate checkout information and may not use fraudulent payment methods, unauthorized cards, or payment activity that violates processor rules.
Reader conduct
Comment rules require readers to avoid harassment, hate speech, threats, spam, impersonation, personal data exposure, and illegal content.
We may remove comments, hide accounts from public surfaces, or restrict access when conduct harms readers, staff, or site operations.
Content ownership
Published stories, metadata, covers, and page copy are managed by Chapter Harbor and its internal editorial team unless a page states otherwise.
An AI-assisted workflow may support production, but readers may not scrape, republish, or redistribute site content without permission.
