FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE RULES MAY RESULT IN A SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE. ANY SUCH DETERMINATION SHALL BE MADE AT BOOKCICLE’S SOLE DISCRETION.

If you post or upload to the Site in compliance with the Use of the Site section set forth above, or otherwise submit to or through Bookcicle as part of your use of the Site, any materials including, without limitation, text, photographs and other images, graphics, videos, visuals, sounds, data, files, links and other materials (collectively, “Content”), then you will retain ownership of such Content. You hereby grant us and our designees a worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers), assignable, royalty-free (except as otherwise agreed during the online publishing or ordering process) right to use, reproduce, distribute (through multiple tiers) and publicly display such Content, solely in connection with operating and improving the Site and services. You acknowledge and agree that any template or layout in which you arrange or organize such Content through tools and features made available through Bookcicle are not proprietary to you, that Bookcicle may use such tools and features for any purpose, and that you have no rights in any such template and/or layout, and such template or layout shall be the sole and exclusive property of Bookcicle.

You represent, warrant and covenant that:

1. You own or otherwise possess all necessary rights with respect to your Content;
2. Your Content does not and will not infringe, misappropriate, use or disclose without authorization, or otherwise violate any intellectual property or proprietary right of any third party, and is not unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable;
3. At Bookcicle’s request, and without further consideration, you will promptly provide Bookcicle with reasonable evidence of such adequate and enforceable rights of third parties (i.e., consents, approvals, licenses or sublicenses), and agree that Bookcicle may provide a copy of these Terms to anyone claiming an infringement of copyright or trademark relating to your Content or to law enforcement or other entities as required by law or as Bookcicle reasonably determines to be necessary to protect its rights or the rights of others;
4. You will abide by any content policy and guidelines posted on the Site; and
5. You have obtained the written consent, release, or other permission of every identifiable individual who appears in your Content to use such individual's likeness, for purposes of using and otherwise exploiting the Content in the manner contemplated by these Terms (including for purposes of promoting the Site), or, if any such individual is under the age of eighteen (18), then you have obtained such written consent from such individual's parent or guardian. If you do submit Content that contains the likeness of an identifiable individual who is under the age of eighteen (18), we strongly encourage you not to include any identifying information (such as the individual's name or address) with such Content. Any violation of this Section, as determined in Bookcicle’s sole discretion, shall be cause to remove any and all of your Content from the Site and from applicable distribution channels, and to terminate your account and access to the Site.

You agree and acknowledge that Bookcicle may, with respect to any Content and at its sole discretion, do any or all of the following:

1. Monitor and filter any Content (including, without limitation, by means of blocking or replacing expletives or other language that may be deemed harmful or offensive);
2. Alter, remove or refuse to send, transmit or otherwise use any Content (including, without limitation, by suspending the processing of any order relating to any Content); and
3. Disclose any Content, and the circumstances surrounding the transmission or use thereof, to any third party in order to operate the services on the Site; to protect us and our affiliates, distributors, partners, licensors, advertisers and sponsors, and our and their directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, other representatives, and users; comply with legal obligations or governmental requests; to enforce these Terms; or for any other reason or purpose.

Please note that Bookcicle is not responsible for, and shall not assume any liability for, the removal or non-removal of Content from the Site and is not obligated to act in response to a report or request from any user. Further, we recommend that you store copies of your Content separate from the Site, as the Site is not intended to function as a back-up system for your Content.

Bookcicle’s ghostwriting, editorial, translation, and conversion services may incorporate generative artificial intelligence technologies (“AI Systems”) operated by Bookcicle or third-party vendors. These systems assist in producing text based on your prompts, data, and instructions.

NO GUARANTEE OF ORIGINALITY OR ACCURACY. AI-generated output is provided “AS IS.” It may contain material that resembles existing works, factual errors, or biased/defamatory statements. Bookcicle does not warrant that any AI-generated content will be free from plagiarism, copyright infringement, or other violations of third-party rights.

Your Responsibilities. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying the originality, accuracy, and legality of any AI-assisted or AI-generated content prior to publication, distribution, or commercial use, and for obtaining any permissions or attributions required by law. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to the inputs, prompts, reference materials, or other data you submit to Bookcicle.

Ownership. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Bookcicle assigns to you any transferable rights it may have in AI-generated content created for you, subject to: (i) your compliance with these Terms; and (ii) the intellectual-property terms of underlying AI vendors. Bookcicle retains ownership of all prompts, templates, workflows, and tools used to operate the services.

Third-Party Vendors. AI-generated material may originate, in whole or in part, from third-party AI Systems. To the extent any liability arises from the operation or output of such systems, such liability rests with those vendors under their respective terms. Bookcicle’s liability for third-party AI output is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Advanced QA Add-On (Advisory Only). If you purchase our Advanced QA add-on, Bookcicle may use AI to flag passages that may raise originality concerns. This is a heuristic advisory (not a definitive plagiarism determination) and may include suggested edits or citations. You remain responsible for final review and compliance decisions.

Indemnification & Limits. Without limiting other provisions of these Terms (see Indemnification, Disclaimer of Warranties, and Limitation of Liability), you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Bookcicle from claims arising out of your inputs or your use, publication, or distribution of AI-generated content.

Bookcicle currently offers four core AI-wrapped service categories: Editorial, Translation, Conversion, and Ghostwriting. Each order may produce one or more “Deliverables” (e.g., edited manuscripts, translated texts, converted formats/exports, or ghostwritten sections).

Unless otherwise set out in an order form or service agreement, you receive the rights in the Deliverables described in Ownership above. You may not access, copy, or redistribute Bookcicle’s underlying tools, templates, prompts, models, or workflows apart from the Deliverables themselves.

Deliverables may be provided in digital formats only. Any sample excerpts used by Bookcicle for marketing or demonstration purposes will exclude your confidential information unless you give prior written consent.

In order to purchase any services through the Site, you must accept these Terms. We offer the following core service categories: Editorial, Translation, Conversion, and Ghostwriting. Current pricing and plan details are published on the Site. We reserve the right to modify service tiers and fees at any time without notice.

At the time of any purchase, we shall ask you to supply certain information applicable to the purchase, including, without limitation, payment information. All information that you provide to us (or any third-party payment processor we utilize) must be accurate; all such information shall be treated in the manner described in our Privacy Policy. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT MEANS USED TO INITIATE ANY TRANSACTION. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or any users of your account and credit card (or other applicable payment mechanism) at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will also be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to your purchases. Verification of information applicable to a purchase may be required prior to our acceptance of any order.

Descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, products, price and availability of any products or services (including our AI-assisted offerings) are subject to change without notice. Current fees may include on-demand services and subscription plans with metered usage. Our current prices can be found on the Site. The inclusion of any products or services on the Site at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available at any time. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the possession, use and sale of any item purchased through the Site. By placing an order, you represent that the products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner. We reserve the right, with or without prior notice, to: limit the available quantity of or discontinue any product or service; honor, or impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, coupon code, promotional code or other similar promotions; bar any user from making any or all purchase(s); and refuse to provide any user with any product or service.

Title and risk of loss for any physical shipments (if applicable) pass to you upon our delivery to our carrier. We reserve the right to ship partial orders (at no additional cost to you), and the portion of any order that is partially shipped may be charged at the time of shipment.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that any material used or displayed on or through the Site infringes your copyright, then you may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on the Site;
3. The name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party;
4. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
5. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is either the owner or is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; and
6. A physical or electronic signature of the owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

In the event that you believe, in good faith, that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. DMCA notices and counter-notices regarding the Site should be sent to:

support@bookcicle.com

In the event that Bookcicle removes Content in response to a DMCA notice (a “DMCA Takedown”), we shall investigate and reserve the right to ban the user whose Content violated the DMCA. Further, in the event of a DMCA Takedown, the user who violated the DMCA shall be solely liable to Bookcicle and other users for applicable refunds.

For AI-assisted services (Editorial, Translation, Conversion, Ghostwriting), all sales are final once work has begun. Because these are custom digital services initiated upon order, refunds are generally not available. If you believe there has been an error (e.g., duplicate charge or a clear failure to deliver any output), please contact support@bookcicle.com.

Where applicable and at Bookcicle’s sole discretion, we may offer a courtesy re-run, targeted revision, or partial credit in lieu of a refund. This policy does not limit any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.

You may choose at any time to remove your uploaded Content from the Site (e.g., source documents you provided for services). Should you do so, that Content will no longer be visible to other users of the Site (if it ever was) and will be deleted from Bookcicle’s active systems after a defined period of time, as set forth in the then current policies of Bookcicle, subject to legal retention requirements and backups.

You may terminate your account by contacting us at:

support@bookcicle.com

Bookcicle shall retain all or any part of your information for as long as is reasonably required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise required by law.

When you receive a Deliverable from Bookcicle, you are granted the rights set out in your order or service agreement and these Terms. Subject to those rights, you shall not: (1) remove or obscure any proprietary notices of Bookcicle; (2) claim Bookcicle authored the Deliverable unless agreed in writing; (3) republish, resell, or re-license Bookcicle’s underlying tools, templates, prompts, or models as a standalone product; or (4) violate any third-party rights contained in your inputs or required by your prompt instructions.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section limits your rights in your own inputs or in the Deliverables as assigned or licensed to you under these Terms or a separate written agreement.

In general, Bookcicle collects information when you sign in to the Site, use the Site or otherwise visit pages on the Site. For a complete description of how Bookcicle collects and uses its users’ information, please see Bookcicle’s Privacy Policy.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bookcicle and its distributors, partners and licensors, and our their directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and other representatives, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and other expenses that arise directly or indirectly out of or from:

1. Your breach of these Terms;
2. Your Content (including third party infringement claims or violations of privacy rights);
3. Your activities in connection with the Site (including any purchases and use of Deliverables);
4. Any taxes, fees or penalties associated with your receipt of payments from Bookcicle (if any); or
5. Any combination of (a)-(d).

You agree not to do anything to intentionally prejudice the rights granted hereunder, but in the event that you lose any rights, licenses, consents or permissions relating to specific Content necessary for you to grant the rights you grant to us hereunder, or you receive notice of a third-party claim relating to Content which you reasonably deem to be of concern, you shall immediately retire or delete such Content from our Site.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, you shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the rights to the Content that you provide to us pursuant to these Terms.

THE SITE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL MATERIALS INCORPORATED THEREIN AND ALL FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY THEREOF, IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND YOUR RELIANCE THEREON. NO OPINION, ADVICE OR STATEMENT OF BOOKCICLE OR ITS DISTRIBUTORS, PARTNERS AND LICENSORS, AND OUR AND THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, WHETHER MADE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE OR OTHERWISE, SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, ALL AI-GENERATED OUTPUT IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, MAY BE INACCURATE OR NON-ORIGINAL, AND MUST BE HUMAN-REVIEWED BY YOU BEFORE USE.

FOR LANGUAGE SERVICES, INCLUDING TRANSLATIONS, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT AI-ASSISTED OUTPUT MAY REFLECT REGIONAL OR LOCALIZED VARIANTS OF THE TARGET LANGUAGE (E.G., EUROPEAN PORTUGUESE VS. BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE) AND MAY CONTAIN IDIOMS, SPELLINGS, OR TERMINOLOGY THAT DO NOT MATCH YOUR INTENDED AUDIENCE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING, EDITING, AND ADAPTING SUCH OUTPUT TO ENSURE IT ACCURATELY REFLECTS YOUR DESIRED DIALECT, CONTEXT, AND MEANING BEFORE RELYING ON IT.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER BOOKCICLE NOR ANY OF OUR DISTRIBUTORS, PARTNERS, OR LICENSORS, NOR OUR OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOST PROFITS), UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SITE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL MATERIALS INCORPORATED THEREIN AND ALL FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SITE). YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITE IS TO STOP USING THE SITE. ADDITIONALLY, BOOKCICLE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF ITS USERS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS OR TORTIOUS OR CRIMINAL CONDUCT COMMITTED BY USERS OF THE SITE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOLE, EXCLUSIVE AND MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF BOOKCICLE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SITE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

BOOKCICLE DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL, FINANCIAL, TAX, ACCOUNTING, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICE ADVICE AND PROHIBITS YOUR USE OF ANY COMMUNICATION OR INFORMATION FROM BOOKCICLE FOR SUCH PURPOSES.

Bookcicle is the owner of all intellectual property rights associated with the Site, including all copyright, patents and trademarks, with all rights reserved, exclusive of Content provided by third parties, which is owned by the licensors of such Content. Bookcicle owns the design, format and layout of the Site. The Bookcicle logo(s) and the names of all Bookcicle products and services as posted on the Site are trademarks, service marks or registered trademarks or service marks of Bookcicle.

All trademarks and service marks on the Site not owned by us are the property of their respective owners. The trade names, trademarks and service marks owned by us, whether registered or unregistered, may not be used in connection with any product or service that is not ours, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any of our trade names, trademarks or service marks without our express prior written consent.

FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO POST, MAKE AVAILABLE TO OTHERS OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTE IN ANY FORMAT ANY ELECTRONIC MATERIALS DOWNLOADED FROM THE SITE OR ANY DERIVATIVE WORKS OF SUCH MATERIALS.

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions. You agree that any dispute concerning the subject matter of these Terms shall be resolved only by litigation in applicable New Hampshire state courts or federal courts in the District of New Hampshire of proper jurisdiction and venue. You agree to submit to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all purposes hereunder.

The Site is published, controlled and operated in the United States of America, and is not intended to subject Bookcicle to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States of America. Bookcicle does not represent or warrant that the Site or any part thereof is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access the Site do so on their own initiative and at their own risk and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. Bookcicle may limit the Site's availability, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in its sole discretion.

Bookcicle makes no representation that material on the Site is appropriate to or available at locations outside of the United States. You may not use the Site or export the Contents in violation of U.S. export regulations. If you access this Site from a location outside of the United States, you are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws and payment of any local taxes that may be payable in connection with any purchase from the Site.

These Terms shall remain effective until terminated as set forth herein. Bookcicle may, in its sole discretion, immediately terminate these Terms or your access to and use of the Site or any portion thereof, at any time and for any reason, including, without limitation, if we believe that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms. Upon termination of these Terms, your right to access and use the Site will immediately cease. You agree that any termination of your access to or use of the Site may be effected without prior notice and that we may immediately deactivate or delete your password, user name and all related information and files associated with it (including all Content), and that we may bar any further access to such information or files. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Site or to any such information or files, and that we shall not be required to make such information or files available to you after any such termination.

The provisions of these Terms that relate to disclaimer of warranties, limitations of liability, indemnification and intellectual property shall survive termination of these Terms.

Except for delay in payments due, if anything happens that is beyond reasonable control of either party (wars, sabotage, riots, labor disturbance, failure or delay of transportation, terrorist act, severe weather, natural disaster, act of God, etc.), then delays will be expected and performance may be excused. Bookcicle and any of its subcontractors or suppliers shall not be liable for any delay caused by the occurrence of such an event beyond their reasonable control.

These Terms do not designate either party as the agent, employee, legal representative, partner or joint venturer of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.

References to business or distribution channel partners in connection with Bookcicle’s operations refers to organizations with which Bookcicle has business relationships and does not imply formal legal partnerships.

Every provision of these Terms is intended to be severable. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction and venue, then such provision shall be deemed amended and interpreted, if possible, in a way that renders it enforceable. If such an interpretation is not possible, then the provision shall be deemed removed from these Terms and the rest of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.

No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right or remedy.

This is the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

These Terms are not assignable, transferable, or sub-licensable by you (including in connection with a change of control or by operation of law) except with Bookcicle’s prior written consent.

These Terms may not be modified or amended by you except with Bookcicle’s prior written consent.

Any heading, caption or section title contained in these Terms is inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way defines or explains any section or provision hereof.

We reserve the right to periodically amend or revise these Terms. Material changes shall be effective immediately upon the display of the revised Terms. The last revision will be reflected by the date given in the Last Modified section below.
