All ebooks from The Good Book Company are subject to the terms of a single-user licence, which grants you (or the intended recipient) an individual licence to read the ebook. You are not permitted to share the ebook you have purchased with another individual, or upload it to any website or file-sharing network, or in any other way to distribute it or make it available for distribution. You own the file once you have downloaded it, and you can use it on any of your devices in perpetuity. Please contact us if you have any questions about the licence or what it entails.
