Terms of Service
Last updated 24 October 2026
These terms govern your use of Syntories ("the Service"). By creating an account or making a purchase you agree to them.
1. What we offer
The Service provides novels and other digital stories. Everything is delivered digitally through your account; nothing is shipped physically.
2. Account
You sign in with a Google account. Keep your account secure; activity under your account is your responsibility.
You must be old enough to enter a binding agreement under the law of your country, or use the Service with permission from a parent or guardian. Some works carry an age rating.
3. Access types
Each work is labelled Free, Buy or Subscription.
Free: open to everyone. Buy: a one-time payment that opens that work (or that episode) for your account for as long as the Service runs. Subscription: opens every work labelled Subscription in one category (for example Books) for 1 month or 12 months from the moment the payment is confirmed (Asia/Jakarta time). Subscriptions do not renew automatically; renewing early adds the new period to the remaining time.
A subscription in one category does not open works bought individually or works in other categories.
Gifts: a subscription plan can be bought for someone else. The buyer receives a single-use gift link, valid for 12 months; the plan goes to the account that redeems it and starts when it is redeemed. Whoever redeems the link first receives the plan, so send it only to the recipient.
4. Prices and payment
Prices are shown in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) on each work and again on the payment summary before you pay. The amount on the payment summary is the amount charged.
Payments are processed by a licensed payment gateway regulated by Bank Indonesia, using the available methods such as QRIS, e-wallets and virtual accounts. We never see or store your card number.
Access opens automatically once the payment provider confirms the payment, usually within minutes.
Promotional prices apply to purchases made during the stated promotion period. A paid plan stays valid until it expires, even after the promotion ends.
5. Licence and fair use
A purchase or subscription grants a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to read, watch or listen to the work through the Service. Ownership and copyright stay with the creators.
You may not copy, redistribute, resell, share accounts, or remove protections from works. Quote images generated by the Service may be shared for personal, non-commercial use with attribution.
Synplace products come with the licence shown on their page.
6. Reading without internet (downloads)
Subscribers can download novels and serials to read without internet on the device used to download them. Downloads are stored encrypted and open only through the Service; they remain subject to the licence and restrictions in section 5.
Downloads stay readable while the subscription is active plus a 7-day grace period after it ends. After that they lock rather than being deleted, and open again as soon as the subscription is renewed. Downloaded works labelled Buy or Free are re-checked at least every 30 days while the device is online.
The device needs to connect to the internet from time to time so the subscription can be checked. Changing the device clock to extend access locks the downloads.
Your reading position while offline is kept on the device and sent to your account when the device is back online. Clearing the site or app data on the device also removes the downloads.
Downloads currently cover the text of novels and serials; Audio Books cannot be downloaded yet.
7. SI disclosure
Where SI was used in creating a work (text, images, audio or video), the work shows an SI label on its page.
8. Changes and availability
We may update works (for example corrections) and these terms. Material changes will be announced on the Service. We work to keep the Service available but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access.
9. Governing law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Indonesia. Questions: email hello@syntories.com, phone/WhatsApp +62 817-0030-577.
