Usawa Literary Review

Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026

By accessing or using this site, you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully.

Use of This Site

This space exists for reading, engaging with literary work, and submitting writing. You agree not to use the site for unlawful or harmful activity, disrupt or attempt to compromise its functioning, or harass, abuse, or target contributors and readers in any way.

Ownership & Intellectual Property

All published work remains the intellectual property of its author. You may not reproduce or redistribute content from this site without explicit permission from the author and Usawa Literary Review.

Submissions

Submissions are read in line with our editorial vision. Acceptance is selective and not guaranteed — we read everything, but we cannot publish everything.

By submitting, you confirm that:

—The work is original and written by you
—You hold the rights to it
—It does not infringe upon anyone else’s intellectual property

If your work is accepted:

—You grant Usawa the right to publish and archive it across our platforms
—Specific rights — first publication, reprints, translations — will be outlined in our submission guidelines or your acceptance correspondence

Community Responsibility

We take harm seriously. We reserve the right to remove content that is abusive, exploitative, or submitted in bad faith, and to refuse or withdraw publication if ethical concerns arise — before or after acceptance.

Payments

If compensation is offered, details will be communicated upon acceptance. Our payment policies may evolve as the magazine grows, and we will be transparent about any changes.

Liability

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the site. Usawa Literary Review is not liable for technical errors or downtime, loss of data, or the practices of third-party links and platforms.

Termination

We may restrict access to users who violate these terms or act against the spirit of this space — which is to say, against the dignity and safety of the people who make it.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India.

Jurisdiction: India
