Terms and Conditions
Welcome to Book Engine ("Service"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. Please read them carefully before using our Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using our Service, you confirm that you accept these Terms and that you agree to comply with them. If you do not agree with any part of the Terms, you must not use our Service.
2. Service Description
Book Engine is a web application that generates books using an AI-powered script. The Service takes user inputs such as author name, plot, and other parameters to generate book content.
3. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights related to the Service and its original content (excluding the user-provided inputs and generated books) are owned by YMMV LLC. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of the Service or any part of it without our prior written consent.
Users retain the copyrights to the books generated using their inputs. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you are the rightful owner of the generated content and have the right to use it as you see fit.
4. User-Generated Content
By using the Service and providing inputs, you grant YMMV LLC a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display the generated content for marketing and promotional purposes only. This license does not allow YMMV LLC to sell, distribute, or modify your generated content without your explicit consent.
You are solely responsible for your inputs and the generated content. YMMV LLC does not endorse or take responsibility for any user-generated content. We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or that we deem inappropriate.
5. NSFW Content Terms
5.1 Age Requirement. NSFW (Not Safe For Work) book generation features are available only to users who are at least 18 years of age. By subscribing to or using NSFW features, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and legally permitted to access adult content in your jurisdiction.
5.2 Separate Subscription. NSFW book generation requires a separate NSFW subscription, which is priced differently from regular subscriptions. NSFW subscriptions and regular subscriptions operate independently, each with their own book generation quotas.
5.3 Content Restrictions. While NSFW features permit explicit adult content, the following content is strictly prohibited:
- Any content depicting minors in sexual or inappropriate situations
- Non-consensual sexual content presented approvingly
- Content promoting or glorifying illegal activities
- Content that violates applicable laws or regulations
5.4 Account Termination. Violation of NSFW content restrictions may result in immediate account termination without refund. We reserve the right to review reported content and take appropriate action.
5.5 No Cover Images. NSFW books do not include AI-generated cover images due to limitations of image generation APIs. A text-based title page is provided instead.
5.6 Privacy. NSFW content is subject to the same privacy protections as regular content. We do not review, share, or display your generated NSFW books publicly. Your content remains private and accessible only through your account.
5.7 User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of NSFW features complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions may restrict or prohibit certain types of adult content.
6. Fees; Billing; Payment Authorization
6.1 Fees. You agree to pay all fees, charges, and taxes associated with your account and use of the Service ("Charges"). Prices and features are subject to change at any time.
6.2 Payment Methods. You authorize YMMV LLC and its payment processors to store and automatically charge the payment method(s) you provide for all Charges when due, including recurring subscription fees, overage fees, add-ons, and applicable taxes. You represent that you are authorized to use any payment method you provide and that all billing information is accurate and complete.
6.3 Account Balance & Re-Presentment. If a payment is declined or reversed, you authorize us to re-attempt the charge (including via card updater services) and to charge any applicable late, reversal, or insufficient funds fees, where permitted by law.
7. No Refunds; Finality of Charges
No Refunds. All Charges are final and non-refundable except to the extent required by applicable law. This no-refund policy applies at all times, including without limitation if you terminate use, experience downtime or other interruptions, or are dissatisfied with the Service or generated content. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights provided by law.
8. Chargeback Policy; Dispute Procedure
8.1 Contact Us First. If you believe a charge is incorrect or unauthorized, you must contact support@bookengine.xyz within 30 days of the charge. Provide the date, amount, transaction ID, and a description of the issue. We will investigate in good faith and, if warranted by law or our policies, may issue a credit or adjustment.
8.2 Agreement Not to Initiate Chargebacks. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree not to initiate or request a payment reversal, chargeback, or similar dispute with your payment provider for Charges you authorized and for which you have not first pursued the dispute procedure in Section 7.1. You acknowledge that initiating a chargeback in violation of these Terms may constitute a breach.
8.3 Our Right to Contest Chargebacks. We may dispute any chargeback or reversal by providing the processor or issuer with documentation demonstrating your agreement to these Terms, your authorization of the transaction, and delivery of the Service.
8.4 Consequences. If you initiate or prevail in a chargeback contrary to these Terms, we may, to the extent permitted by law: (a) suspend or terminate access to the Service; (b) require repayment of amounts reversed; (c) assess a reasonable administrative fee for chargeback handling; (d) pursue collection efforts; and/or (e) condition reinstatement on payment of all outstanding amounts.
9. Subscriptions; Auto-Renewal; Cancellation
9.1 Auto-Renewal. If you enroll in a subscription plan, your subscription will automatically renew for successive billing periods unless canceled. You authorize recurring Charges to your payment method until you cancel.
9.2 Cancellation. You may cancel at any time effective at the end of the current billing period. Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund or credit for partial periods, except where required by law.
10. Taxes
Charges are exclusive of taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for all sales, use, VAT, GST, and similar taxes associated with your purchase and use of the Service, except for taxes based on our net income.
11. Third-Party Services & Processors
We may use third-party services and payment processors to provide the Service and process payments. Your use of such services may be subject to their terms and policies. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third parties we do not control.
12. Limitations of Liability
The Service is provided "as is" without any guarantees. YMMV LLC is not liable for any errors, inaccuracies, or issues arising from the use of the Service.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall YMMV LLC be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless YMMV LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms.
14. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. It requires binding arbitration on an individual basis and limits how you can seek relief from us.
14.1 Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute by emailing support@bookengine.xyz with "Dispute" in the subject line and a description of your claim. If we cannot resolve within 30 days, either party may commence arbitration as set out below.
14.2 Agreement to Arbitrate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (including Charges and billing) that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its applicable rules (Consumer or Commercial). The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
14.3 Venue; Procedure. Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration will occur remotely by video or, if an in-person hearing is required, in Nashville, Tennessee (or your U.S. county of residence for consumer disputes if required by AAA rules or law).
14.4 Class and Representative Action Waiver. All proceedings will be conducted solely on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief.
14.5 Small Claims Court. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court instead of arbitration where jurisdictional requirements are satisfied.
14.6 Opt-Out. You may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to YMMV LLC within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, email, account ID (if any), and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration.
14.7 Injunctive Relief; IP. Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect confidential information or intellectual property rights pending arbitration.
14.8 Severability. If any portion of this Section is found unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in effect; however, if the class waiver is found unenforceable, this entire Section 14 shall be unenforceable.
15. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, for any reason, including without limitation if you breach these Terms or engage in suspected fraudulent or abusive activity. Upon termination, Sections that by their nature should survive (including payment obligations, no refunds, indemnification, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution) will continue to apply.
16. International Users; Mandatory Rights
The Service may be accessed from countries outside the United States. We make no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in all jurisdictions. You are responsible for compliance with local laws. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any non-waivable rights under the consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction.
17. Governing Law
Except to the extent the FAA governs Section 13, these Terms and any non-arbitrable disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
18. Changes to Terms
YMMV LLC may modify these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide notice (e.g., by email or in-product) at least 30 days before the new terms take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
19. Miscellaneous
Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with any order forms and policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and YMMV LLC regarding the Service.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of such right or provision.
Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.
Notices. We may provide notices by email, in-product messages, or posting to the Service.
