Terms of Service

1. Who you are contracting with

The Living Library ("the Service") is operated by Nexlify Studios Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales with its registered office at 128 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 2NX ("we", "us", or "our"). By using the Service, you are entering into a binding agreement with Nexlify Studios Ltd. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.

2. What this Service is (and isn't)

The Living Library is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any author, publisher, or rights holder. Conversations are original AI-generated interpretations inspired by the ideas and public reputation of the books referenced. We do not reproduce, host, store, or transmit the text of any copyrighted book, and our AI is not trained on the contents of those books.

To be explicit:

• No copyrighted book text is used. We do not copy, store, host, transmit, or reproduce the text of any book. Nothing in the Service is sourced from a book's actual pages.
• No authorship. Personas are AI-generated interpretations. They are not the authors, do not speak for the authors, and do not represent any author's actual views.
• No affiliation. References to book titles and author names are nominative — used solely to identify the concept being discussed — and do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or any relationship with the rights holder.
• Original output. Each response is generated on the fly by a general-purpose AI model based on widely known public ideas, themes, and reputation associated with a book — not by retrieving, quoting, or paraphrasing the book itself.
• No verbatim reproduction. The Service is designed not to produce substantial verbatim excerpts of copyrighted works.

Responses are AI-generated reflections in the spirit of each book and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or invented. Use them as inspiration, not as authoritative advice (medical, legal, financial, spiritual, or otherwise). You are responsible for your prompts, how you use the outputs, verifying their accuracy before relying on them, and for having the rights to any content you provide as input.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, or abusive purposes.
• Upload, paste, or transmit text, images, or other content that you do not own or have a valid license or legal right to use.
• Attempt to extract verbatim copyrighted text from any book.
• Generate content that is illegal, hateful, defamatory, sexually exploitative of minors, or designed to harass or deceive.
• Attempt to jailbreak, prompt-inject, or otherwise circumvent the Service's safety controls.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, probe for vulnerabilities, deploy malware, or overload the Service.
• Misrepresent generated content as the original author's words.
• Resell, redistribute, or share account credentials with third parties.

4. Your Input and Content License

You are solely responsible for any text, excerpts, images, or other material you submit, paste, type, or otherwise provide to the Service ("User Input"). By submitting User Input, you represent and warrant that you own it or have all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to use it and to authorize us to process it as described in these Terms.

You grant Nexlify Studios Ltd a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, transmit, and process your User Input solely to operate, secure, and deliver the Service to you — including transmitting it to our AI provider sub-processors on a per-request basis to generate your response. We do not use your User Input to train AI models, and your User Input is not retained by us once the conversation ends, except for minimal metadata described in our Privacy Policy.

You retain all ownership rights you have in your User Input. Pasting substantial copyrighted material that you do not own or have permission to use — including books, articles, lyrics, or screenplays — is a breach of these Terms and may also violate applicable copyright law.

5. Accounts and Subscriptions

Some features require an account or paid subscription. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for any activity under your account. Paid subscriptions begin immediately upon purchase and renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your account; cancellation stops future renewals and access continues until the end of the current paid period.

6. Payments and Billing

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not see or store your full card details. Stripe handles payment processing, billing details, and related payment security.

Payment terms, billing frequency, taxes, cancellations, and refund mechanics are shown at checkout and managed through your account. See our Refund Policy for our 30-day money-back guarantee.

7. Intellectual Property

Book titles and authors referenced are the property of their respective rights holders. The Service interface, branding, software, and generated experience are owned by Nexlify Studios Ltd. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for your personal use within the plan you have selected.

8. Copyright Complaints & DMCA

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users of the Service to do the same. If you believe in good faith that material accessible through the Service infringes your copyright, you may send a written notice to our designated copyright agent under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) or an equivalent notice under applicable law.

Your notice must include: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or their authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it; (d) your contact information (name, address, telephone, email); (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf.

Send notices to our Copyright Agent:

Email: jasonplant44@gmail.com

Repeat infringer policy. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also remove or disable access to material we believe in good faith to be infringing, with or without prior notice.

Knowingly submitting a false or misleading takedown notice may subject you to liability under applicable law.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee accuracy, uninterrupted availability, or fitness for any particular purpose. AI outputs are not a substitute for professional advice and should not be relied upon for regulated decisions without independent verification.

No warranty of non-infringement for generated content. Because outputs are generated by AI based on your prompts and the inputs you provide, we do not warrant that any generated content is original, accurate, or free from claims of infringement, defamation, or other third- party rights. You are solely responsible for evaluating, verifying, and deciding how to use any output before relying on, publishing, distributing, or otherwise using it, and you assume all risk associated with that use.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Nexlify Studios Ltd is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by negligence, where such exclusion would be unlawful.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Nexlify Studios Ltd, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your User Input; (b) your use or misuse of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights.

12. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, with or without notice, if: (a) you materially breach these Terms; (b) your account becomes delinquent or a payment is reversed; (c) we detect fraud, abuse, or a security risk associated with your account; (d) you are determined to be a repeat copyright infringer; or (e) we are required to do so by law. You may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification — will continue to apply.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
