All content created by users must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and BookZeta reserves the right to terminate accounts or remove content that violates these terms.

2. Ownership and License

BookZeta retains all ownership rights of the platform, including the software, design, and functionality. Any content you create using BookZeta remains your intellectual property, but by using our platform, you grant BookZeta a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, and promote your content through our services.

Any unauthorized use of the platform, including the resale or distribution of tools and services offered by BookZeta, is prohibited.

When creating an account on BookZeta, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.

If you suspect unauthorized use of your account, contact us immediately. BookZeta reserves the right to terminate accounts or suspend access at our discretion.

5. No Warranties

All services provided by BookZeta are offered "as is" without any warranties, expressed or implied. BookZeta makes no guarantees regarding the availability, functionality, or accuracy of its platform. We disclaim any liability for the actions, omissions, or content of users on the platform.

You use BookZeta at your own risk. BookZeta will not be held liable for any damages or losses arising from your use of the platform.

AI-Generated and AI-Assisted Content

BookZeta is an automated software tool that uses artificial intelligence to help generate text, images, graphics, and audio narration based on the inputs and prompts you provide. You understand and agree that:

  • AI systems generate output based on patterns learned from large amounts of data, and the same or similar prompts may produce output that resembles pre-existing works. BookZeta does not and cannot guarantee that any AI-generated or AI-assisted output is original, novel, or free from similarity to third-party content.
  • BookZeta makes no representation or warranty that AI-generated output is eligible for copyright protection, that it is free of any third-party copyright, trademark, name, likeness, or other rights, or that it will be accepted, approved, retained, or monetized by any publishing platform or marketplace.
  • You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, fact-checking, and clearing all output before you use, publish, list, distribute, or sell it, and for making any AI-use or AI-content disclosures required by any platform, marketplace, or applicable law (including, without limitation, the AI-content disclosure requirements of Amazon KDP and Audible).
  • BookZeta is provided strictly as a creation and formatting tool. We are not your publisher, agent, or legal advisor, and we do not review, vet, verify, endorse, or approve your content for originality, copyright eligibility, or legal or marketplace compliance.

6. Content Guidelines

You are solely responsible for any content you create or upload using BookZeta. You agree not to create or share any content that is illegal, obscene, defamatory, harassing, or violates the rights of others. BookZeta reserves the right to remove any content that violates these guidelines.

7. Copyright and Trademark Compliance

You are responsible for ensuring that all content you create or upload using BookZeta does not infringe on any copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights of third parties. BookZeta reserves the right to remove any content, at our sole discretion, that we believe violates copyrights, trademarks, or these Terms and Conditions, or for any other reason, including but not limited to content that is deemed inappropriate, offensive, or in violation of platform policies, similar to standards enforced by other online platforms such as social media or content-sharing services.

Strict Copyright Ownership Policy: You are strictly prohibited from uploading, writing, generating, posting, sharing, or using any copyrighted material, trademarks, or proprietary content on or through the Website unless you are the sole and exclusive owner of the copyright and intellectual property rights, or you possess explicit, valid, and verifiable written license/permission from the legal copyright holder. We reserve the right to request proof of ownership or written license agreements at any time. Failure to provide satisfactory, verifiable proof of ownership within 48 hours of our request will result in immediate removal of the content and permanent suspension of your account.

Publishing on KDP, Audible, and Self-Publishing: If you choose to publish, distribute, or sell books, ebooks, or audiobooks created or assisted by our Platform on third-party platforms (such as Amazon KDP, Audible, Apple Books, Google Play, Webtoon, Tapas, or your own publishing website), you must independently research, understand, and comply with all terms, guidelines, metadata requirements, and copyright verification policies of the target publishing platform. This includes guidelines regarding AI-generated text, AI-generated art, and audiobook narrations. BookZeta provides tools but does NOT represent you in front of third-party platforms, does not verify if your content matches their ever-changing guidelines, and does not guarantee that your work will be accepted, published, or monetized.

We encourage users to exercise good-faith judgment when creating content on our platform. If you are unsure whether your content may infringe on copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights, you should consult legal counsel or conduct your own research to ensure compliance. BookZeta is not responsible for any legal action taken against you for content you create, publish, list, distribute, or sell, whether on our platform or elsewhere.

Acceptance by Use — Export, Download & Publishing. Each time you export, download, send to a device or email, or publish content through BookZeta (including publishing to the BookZeta library or finalizing a project), you represent and agree that: (a) you are the independent publisher of record; (b) your prompts, inputs, and the resulting content do not infringe any third party’s copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property or publicity rights, and you will comply with the requirements and AI-disclosure rules of any platform where you publish or list it; and (c) you understand the Platform is provided on an “as-is” basis with no guarantee of originality, copyright-eligibility, or marketplace acceptance, and that you are solely responsible for your creations and for anything you publish or list. Taking any of these actions constitutes your acceptance of these terms, and we may record that acceptance (including the date, time, and IP address) as a condition of providing these features.

Violation of this section may result in account suspension or termination at BookZeta’s discretion, and we may report infringing content to relevant authorities or rights holders as required by law.

16. DMCA Copyright Infringement Takedown Policy

To submit a copyright takedown notice, please use our online DMCA report form. You may also send the information described below to our Designated Copyright Agent in writing.

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content hosted on our Platform infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3) for further detail):

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (such as the specific URL);
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address;

Repeat Infringers. BookZeta maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of the intellectual-property rights of others.

Note: Only DMCA notices should go to the Copyright Agent. Any other feedback, comments, product support, or technical requests should be directed to our general support channels.

17. Dispute Resolution, Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court and to have a jury trial.

Notwithstanding the Governing Law provisions above, and except for (i) qualifying claims that may be brought in small-claims court, and (ii) claims for injunctive or equitable relief relating to intellectual-property infringement or misuse, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of BookZeta shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, rather than in court. The arbitration shall be held in Hillsborough County, Florida, or by remote/telephonic proceeding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. You and BookZeta agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

You may opt out of this arbitration and class-action-waiver agreement by sending written notice through our support form within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, the Governing Law and venue provisions in Section 14 will govern any dispute.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified or limited to the minimum extent necessary so that it becomes enforceable, or, if it cannot be so modified, severed; and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. The invalidity of any single provision shall not affect the validity of these Terms as a whole.

19. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any policies or agreements referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and BookZeta regarding your use of the platform and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Section headings are provided for convenience only and have no legal effect.
