Terms and Conditions

(1) These Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "T&C") apply to all contracts concluded between

and the user (hereinafter "Customer") via the AI-powered book generation platform Bookcraft (hereinafter "Platform").

(2) The business relationship between the Provider and the Customer is governed exclusively by these T&C in the version valid at the time of the order. Deviating conditions of the Customer will not be recognized unless the Provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

(3) The contract language is English.

(1) The Provider operates a web-based platform for automated creation of books using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The service includes:

• Generation of text content based on user input
• Creation of book covers and illustrations using AI image generation
• Formatting and layout options
• Export functions for various file formats (PDF, EPUB)
• Optional: Printing and shipping through partner companies

(2) The generated content is based on AI technology (OpenAI GPT and DALL-E). The Provider cannot guarantee that generated content is error-free, factually correct, or suitable for every intended use.

(3) The Provider reserves the right to expand, restrict, or modify the functional scope of the Platform at any time, insofar as this is reasonable for the Customer.

(1) The presentation of services on the website does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather a non-binding invitation to the Customer to order services.

(2) Registration is required to use the Platform. The Customer is obliged to provide truthful information and to keep their access credentials confidential.

(3) The contract for the use of paid services is concluded when the Customer places an order and the Provider accepts it by activating the service or by sending a confirmation email.

(4) The Customer must have reached the age of 18 or, if a minor, must provide proof of consent from a legal guardian.

(1) The prices shown on the website at the time of ordering apply. All prices include applicable statutory value-added tax.

(2) Payment is made through the payment service provider Stripe. Accepted payment methods are displayed in the ordering process. Payment is due immediately upon ordering.

(3) For paid subscriptions, charges are automatically debited at the beginning of each billing period. The Customer may cancel their subscription at any time at the end of the current billing period.

(4) The Provider reserves the right to change prices. For existing contracts, the prices agreed at the time of contract conclusion apply. For subscriptions, the Customer will be informed of price changes at least 30 days before they take effect.

(1) The Customer receives a simple, non-transferable, geographically unlimited right to use the content they have generated for private and commercial purposes.

(2) The usage rights to the Platform itself, including software, design, and trademarks, remain with the Provider. The Customer is only granted a non-exclusive right to use the Platform for its intended purpose.

(3) The Provider does not guarantee that the generated content is free from copyright infringement. The Customer is solely responsible for examining the legal situation before publication or commercial use.

(4) The Customer grants the Provider the right to process submitted content for contract fulfillment and to transmit it to third-party providers necessary for service delivery (e.g., OpenAI).

(1) The Customer warrants that their inputs and the intended use of the generated content:

• do not infringe third-party rights (especially copyrights, trademark rights, personality rights)
• do not contain illegal, offensive, discriminatory, or pornographic content
• do not violate applicable law
• do not contain malware or other harmful elements

(2) The Customer indemnifies the Provider against all third-party claims resulting from a breach of these obligations. This also includes the costs of legal defense.

(3) The Provider is entitled to delete content or block access if there are concrete indications of a violation of these provisions.

(2) The right of withdrawal expires for a contract for the delivery of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if the Provider has begun performance of the contract after the Customer has expressly consented to the Provider beginning performance before the end of the withdrawal period and has confirmed their knowledge that they thereby lose their right of withdrawal with the beginning of performance.

(1) The Provider strives for high availability of the Platform but does not guarantee uninterrupted use. Maintenance work and technical disruptions may lead to temporary restrictions.

(2) Statutory warranty rights apply to digital products. The Provider warrants that the Platform meets contractual requirements at the time of provision.

(3) Defects in the Platform will be remedied within a reasonable period after the Customer reports them. A defect exists if the Platform does not have the agreed functions or is not suitable for ordinary use.

(1) The Provider has unlimited liability for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, as well as for damages based on intent or gross negligence.

(2) In cases of slight negligence, the Provider is only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal duties). In this case, liability is limited to the contract-typical, foreseeable damage.

(3) The Provider is not liable for:

• Accuracy, completeness, or quality of AI-generated content
• Damages arising from the Customer's use of the generated content
• Legal violations through the use of the generated content
• Failures or disruptions of third-party services (OpenAI, Stripe, Lulu)

(4) The above limitations of liability also apply in favor of the Provider's vicarious agents.

(1) Contracts for individual services (e.g., one-time book generation) end automatically upon complete provision of the service.

(2) Subscriptions may be terminated by either party at any time at the end of the respective billing period. Termination can be made via the user account or by email.

(3) The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. Good cause exists in particular if the Customer violates essential contractual obligations.

(4) The Customer may delete their user account at any time. Deletion terminates access to the Platform. Already generated content will be deleted after a reasonable period, unless statutory retention obligations exist.

(1) The Provider reserves the right to amend these T&C with effect for the future, insofar as this is necessary for objectively justified reasons and the Customer is not unreasonably disadvantaged thereby.

(2) The Customer will be informed of changes by email or via their user account. If the Customer does not object to the amended T&C within 30 days of receipt of the amendment notice, the amended T&C shall be deemed accepted. The Customer will be informed of this consequence in the amendment notice.

(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, this choice of law only applies insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of habitual residence is not withdrawn.

(2) If the Customer is a merchant, legal entity under public law, or special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract is Schwerin.

(3) The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR):https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

(4) We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

(5) Should individual provisions of these T&C be or become invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision whose effects come closest to the economic objective.
