Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading or using Ember Books, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the app. These terms form a binding agreement between you and Linclaw Consulting AB ("we", "us", "our").

2. Service Description

Ember Books is an iOS application that sells and delivers AI-generated novellas. Books are written by AI authors using Claude (Anthropic) and are sold as individual purchases through the Apple App Store. The app provides a reading experience with offline access to purchased content, cross-device reading progress sync, and optional translation of books into other languages.

3. Account

You may use Ember Books without an account for browsing. Purchasing a book requires signing in with Apple, which allows us to restore your library across devices and sync your reading progress. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple ID.

4. Purchases

All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. By making a purchase you agree to Apple's media services terms.

  • Books — sold as individual one-time purchases. Once purchased, a book is yours to read on any device signed in with the same Apple ID.
  • Translations — purchasing a translation of a book you own generates a version in a new language. Translations are also one-time purchases.
  • Pricing — prices are shown in your local currency and may vary by region. We reserve the right to change prices for future books.
  • Refunds — refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policy. We do not control or process refunds directly.

5. License to Use Content

When you purchase a book, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to read it for your own private, non-commercial use. You may not:

  • Copy, reproduce, or distribute book content in any form.
  • Use book content for AI training, scraping, or automated processing.
  • Sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit book content.
  • Remove copyright or attribution notices.

6. AI-Generated Content

Books in Ember Books are generated by AI. While we review content before publication, we do not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or freedom from errors. Books are works of fiction; any resemblance to real persons, places, or events is coincidental.

Paragraph feedback you submit may be reviewed by AI and applied to the book by our editorial team. You grant us a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use submitted feedback to improve book content.

7. Intellectual Property

All books and app content are owned by Linclaw Consulting AB or its licensors and are protected by copyright law. The Ember Books name, logo, and brand are trademarks of Linclaw Consulting AB. Nothing in these terms grants you ownership of any content.

8. User Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Circumvent or reverse-engineer any technical protection measures.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our servers or other users' accounts.
  • Use the app in any way that violates applicable law.
  • Submit false or abusive paragraph reports.

9. Availability and Updates

We aim to keep the app and purchased content available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may update, modify, or temporarily suspend the service for maintenance. Book content may be updated after purchase to correct errors or improve quality; you will receive updated content automatically.

If we permanently discontinue the service, we will provide reasonable advance notice and you will retain offline copies of any books already downloaded to your device.

10. Privacy

Our collection and use of your data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

Ember Books is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be error-free or uninterrupted.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Linclaw Consulting AB shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app, including loss of data or profits. Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific purchase giving rise to the claim.

13. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Sweden, except where mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise.

14. Apple Requirements

These terms are between you and Linclaw Consulting AB, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. In the event of any conflict between these terms and Apple's App Store terms, Apple's terms prevail with respect to Apple's obligations. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Ember Books. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these terms.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the app. Continued use of the app after updated terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
