Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of BookWeaverAI, operated by BookWeaverAI LLC ("BookWeaverAI," "we," "us," or "our"), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Alabama. By accessing or using our website and services at bookweaverai.com (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Please also review our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect and handle your personal information.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you must be at least 16 years of age. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

2. Account Registration & Security

You must create an account to use BookWeaverAI. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information during registration and to keep your account information up to date.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at legal@bookweaverai.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. Description of Service

BookWeaverAI is an AI-assisted book plotting tool that helps writers develop their stories through a structured, multi-step process. The Service uses artificial intelligence — specifically, Claude by Anthropic — to generate story concepts, outlines, chapter breakdowns, and scene plans based on your creative inputs.

AI Disclosure: Content generated through BookWeaverAI is produced by an AI language model, not by human writers or editors. When you interact with the generation features of the Service (including the conversational steps), you are interacting with AI, not a human.

4. Content Ownership & Licenses

4.1 Your Content — You Own It

You retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the content you create, input, and generate using the Service ("Your Content"), including your story premises, rules, supplementary materials, and all AI-generated outputs such as novel concepts, outlines, chapter plans, and scene plans.

BookWeaverAI claims no ownership rights over Your Content. When you use the Service to generate content, the creative process is initiated and directed by you. The resulting output — shaped by your inputs, rules, and creative direction — is yours to own, use, modify, publish, and distribute as you see fit.

Note: The legal status of copyright protection for AI-generated text is evolving and varies by jurisdiction. While we contractually assign all rights to you, the extent to which AI-generated content qualifies for copyright protection under applicable law may depend on the degree of human authorship involved. We encourage you to review and edit AI-generated content to strengthen your claim of authorship.

4.2 License You Grant to Us

By using the Service, you grant BookWeaverAI a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, transmit, and display Your Content solely for the purpose of providing and operating the Service. This includes transmitting Your Content to our AI provider (Anthropic) for generation processing.

This license terminates when you delete Your Content or your account, except as required for backup, legal compliance, or as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not use Your Content to train AI models, build datasets, create derivative works, or for any purpose other than providing the Service to you.

4.3 Our Intellectual Property

The Service itself — including its design, code, templates, prompt structures, brand elements, logos, and documentation — is owned by BookWeaverAI and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property except the limited right to use the Service as described herein.

5. AI-Generated Content

Content generated by the Service is produced by an AI language model and is provided as a creative starting point. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies, inconsistencies, or factual errors. Factual assertions in AI-generated outputs should not be relied upon without independently verifying their accuracy.
• We do not guarantee the originality of AI-generated content. While the AI generates new text rather than copying existing works, it is possible that generated content may resemble existing published works. You are responsible for reviewing your content before publication.
• We do not guarantee the completeness, quality, or fitness of AI-generated content for any particular purpose. The Service is a creative tool, not a substitute for professional editorial, legal, or publishing advice.
• You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and ensuring the suitability of AI-generated content before publishing or distributing it.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Create, store, or distribute content that is illegal under applicable law
• Generate content that sexually exploits or endangers minors in any way (this is an absolute prohibition with zero tolerance)
• Infringe upon the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party
• Generate content intended to harass, threaten, defame, or incite violence against any individual or group
• Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features of the Service or the underlying AI model's safety systems
• Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to access the Service
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code, AI models, prompt templates, or algorithms of the Service
• Resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties without our written consent
• Use the Service in any manner that violates Anthropic's Acceptable Use Policy

We reserve the right to investigate violations and, at our sole discretion, suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or any applicable law, with or without notice.

7. Subscriptions & Payments

7.1 Subscription Plans

Access to certain features of the Service requires a paid subscription. Subscription details, including pricing and included features, are described on our pricing page. By subscribing, you agree to pay the applicable fees.

7.2 Billing

Subscriptions are billed in advance on an annual basis. Payment is processed by Stripe, Inc. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription fee to your designated payment method. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.

7.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Upon cancellation, your subscription will remain active through the end of the current billing period. You will not be charged for the next billing period.

7.4 Refund Policy

We offer a 14-day satisfaction guarantee from the date of your initial subscription purchase. If you are not satisfied with the Service within this 14-day period, you may request a full refund by contacting us at legal@bookweaverai.com.

After the 14-day period, all subscription fees are non-refundable. This includes partial refunds for unused portions of a subscription term. Cancellation stops future charges but does not entitle you to a refund of fees already paid.

For users in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom: This 14-day refund period satisfies your statutory right of withdrawal. By beginning to use the Service before the withdrawal period expires, you acknowledge that you may lose your right of withdrawal once the Service has been fully performed.

7.5 Price Changes

We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' advance notice. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next billing period following the notice. Your continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes your acceptance of the new price.

8. Termination

8.1 Termination by You

You may close your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Upon account closure, we will delete your personal information and project data in accordance with our Privacy Policy (generally within 30 days).

8.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, if required by law, or if necessary to protect the security or integrity of the Service. Where practicable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to export your data before termination.

8.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We will make your project data available for export for 30 days following termination, after which it may be permanently deleted. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14) will survive.

9. Service Availability

We strive to keep BookWeaverAI available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. The Service depends on third-party providers (including Anthropic for AI generation) that are outside our control. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with reasonable notice where practicable.

We are not liable for any interruption, delay, or unavailability of the Service, including interruptions caused by AI provider outages, rate limiting, or maintenance.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. We expressly disclaim all implied warranties, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Without limiting the foregoing, we make no warranty or representation that: (a) the Service will meet your requirements or expectations; (b) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; (c) AI-generated content will be accurate, complete, original, non-infringing, or suitable for publication; (d) any defects in the Service will be corrected; or (e) the Service will be compatible with any particular hardware, software, or network configuration.

You use the Service and rely on AI-generated content at your own risk.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

In no event will BookWeaverAI, its owner, officers, employees, agents, or affiliates be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid to BookWeaverAI in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above limitations may not apply, and you may have additional rights.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BookWeaverAI, its owner, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Service or any content you create, store, publish, or distribute using the Service
• Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law
• Your infringement of any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
• Any dispute between you and a third party related to Your Content

13. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

13.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

13.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution, you agree to first contact us at legal@bookweaverai.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

13.3 Binding Arbitration

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and BookWeaverAI agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if they qualify.

Arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in the State of Alabama or, at your election, may be conducted by phone, video conference, or based on written submissions. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13.4 Class Action Waiver

You and BookWeaverAI agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against BookWeaverAI.

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed from arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in Alabama.

13.5 Exceptions

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in court for claims related to intellectual property infringement or unauthorized access to the Service.

13.6 EU/UK Users

If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, this arbitration provision applies to the extent permitted by local law. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer under mandatory local consumer protection laws, including your right to bring claims in the courts of your country of residence.

14. Copyright & DMCA

14.1 Respect for Copyright

BookWeaverAI respects the intellectual property rights of others. We expect our users to do the same. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied or used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please notify our designated agent.

14.3 Designated Agent

14.4 Counter-Notices

If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice to the designated agent above, including: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the removed material and its former location; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and (d) your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal courts in the Northern District of Alabama. We will forward your counter-notice to the complaining party. If the complaining party does not file a court action within 10 business days, we may restore the material.

14.5 Repeat Infringers

We reserve the right to terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright.

15. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email and by posting a notice on the Service at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Non-material changes (such as formatting or clarification of existing terms) may be made without advance notice.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and close your account.

16. General Provisions

16.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and BookWeaverAI regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether oral or written.

16.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

16.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. A waiver of any provision is only effective if made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of BookWeaverAI.

16.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of government, internet or infrastructure failures, or third-party service provider outages.
