Terms of Service

1. Service Description

Coffeescribe is an AI-powered book creation platform that allows users to generate, edit, and export written content using artificial intelligence technology.

Important: Content generated by Coffeescribe is created using artificial intelligence models. While we strive for quality and accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or outdated information. Users are responsible for reviewing and verifying all generated content before use or publication.

2. Age Requirements

To use Coffeescribe, you must meet the following age requirements:

• United States: You must be at least 13 years old to use this service.
• European Union: You must be at least 16 years old to use this service.
• Other regions: You must meet the minimum age requirement for digital services in your jurisdiction, or be at least 13 years old, whichever is higher.

By creating an account, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.

3. Content Ownership

Your Content: You retain ownership of the content you create using Coffeescribe. This includes your book ideas, prompts, and any original text you input or edit within the platform.

AI-Generated Content: Content generated by AI models is provided to you under a license that allows you to use, modify, publish, and distribute it. However, you should be aware that:

• AI models are trained on existing content, which may influence outputs
• Similar content may be generated for other users using similar prompts
• You are responsible for ensuring your use of generated content complies with applicable laws

4. AI Content Disclaimer

Coffeescribe uses artificial intelligence to generate content. Please understand that:

• AI-generated content should not be relied upon as professional, medical, legal, financial, or any other form of expert advice
• You should always verify important information from authoritative sources
• AI may "hallucinate" facts, citations, or references that do not exist
• Content may reflect biases present in training data
• You are responsible for fact-checking and editing all generated content

5. Free Tier Data Usage

Coffeescribe offers a free tier that uses AI models provided at no cost by third-party providers (via OpenRouter). By using the free tier, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Your prompts and generated content may be used by AI model providers for training purposes
• Your prompts and completions may be published to public datasets (anonymously)
• Free model providers may retain and log your inputs and outputs
• This data sharing is required to access free AI models and cannot be opted out of while using the free tier

Want more privacy? Paid tiers use premium AI models that do not share your data for training purposes. Upgrade to a paid plan if data privacy is important for your use case.

What we don't share: Your account information, email, and personal details are never shared with AI model providers. Only the content of your book creation prompts and the AI-generated responses may be used as described above.

6. Prohibited Content

You may not use Coffeescribe to create, publish, or distribute content that:

• Infringes on intellectual property rights (copyright, trademark, etc.)
• Contains illegal content or promotes illegal activities
• Is sexually explicit or pornographic
• Promotes violence, hate speech, or discrimination
• Contains personal or confidential information about others without consent
• Is defamatory, libelous, or fraudulent
• Attempts to impersonate individuals or organizations
• Contains malware, spam, or phishing content
• Violates any applicable laws or regulations

We reserve the right to remove content and terminate accounts that violate these terms.

7. Content Reporting and Moderation

We take content moderation seriously. If you encounter content that violates our Prohibited Content policy, you can report it using the "Report Content" button on any public book (feature coming in Phase 2).

We review all reports and may:

• Remove content that violates these terms
• Suspend or terminate accounts of repeat offenders
• Take legal action if necessary for severe violations

DMCA Takedown: If you believe content infringes your copyright, please contact us at legal@coffeescribe.com with details of the alleged infringement. We will respond promptly in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

User Responsibility: Publishers are responsible for the content they make public. While we provide tools for content warnings and moderation, the primary responsibility for appropriate content rests with the creator.

8. Limitation of Liability

• Coffeescribe is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind
