Terms of use

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Sidewave Digital Inc. (“EBookBrew,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to ebookbrew.com, the EBookBrew application, its AI features, exports, Model Context Protocol (“MCP”) access, and related services (together, the “Service”).

By creating an account, buying a plan or credits, connecting an agent, or using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service. If you use the Service for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organization. “You” then means both you and that organization.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and old enough to make a binding contract where you live. You must not use the Service if law bars you from receiving it. The Service is not directed to children.

3. What the Service does

EBookBrew provides tools that help you create, edit, format, and export books with generative AI. The Service is a tool. EBookBrew is not the author, editor, publisher, distributor, retailer, seller, or promoter of your book. We do not submit a book to a store or make it available to the public for you.

We can use different models and service providers for different requests. Models, features, formats, limits, and results can change. We do not promise that a model or feature will always be available.

4. Accounts and connected agents

You must give accurate account information and keep it current. You are responsible for your credentials, sessions, connected MCP clients, and all activity on your account. Do not share access with a person who is not allowed to use your account. Tell us at contact[at]ebookbrew.com without delay if you suspect unauthorized access.

An agent or MCP client that you connect can read project data, change content, start paid generation work, use credits, and create exports within the permissions that you give it. We can treat a valid request from your account or authorized connection as your instruction. You are responsible for reviewing agent actions and for securing and removing connected clients.

5. Your content and our license

“Input” means an idea, prompt, note, instruction, manuscript, image, name, or other material that you provide. “Output” means text, images, outlines, covers, and other material that the Service generates. Input and Output together are “Your Content.”

You keep your rights in your Input. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, modify for technical purposes, transmit, display to you, and use Your Content as needed to provide, maintain, secure, monitor, support, and improve the Service; enforce these Terms; and comply with law. This license lets us give the same limited rights to our hosting, analytics, AI, and other service providers. It also lets us make technical copies, previews, and export files.

The license ends when Your Content is deleted from our active systems, except for copies in backups, records that we must keep, content needed for a dispute or security matter, and data that has been lawfully de-identified or aggregated.

You confirm that you own your Input or have all rights, permissions, notices, and consents needed for us and our providers to process it. You must not submit confidential, personal, or protected information unless you have authority to use it with an AI service.

6. Output and ownership

As between you and EBookBrew, and to the extent that law permits, you own the Output. We assign to you any right, title, and interest that we may have in it. You can use Output for lawful personal or commercial purposes, subject to these Terms.

This assignment does not give you rights in another person’s Input, third-party material, trademarks, platform content, the Service, an AI model, or output made for another user. AI output can be the same as or similar to output given to other people. Output might not qualify for copyright or other protection. We do not promise that you can register, own, exclude others from, or enforce rights in any Output.

7. You are responsible for every book

You make the final decision to use, publish, distribute, market, sell, or rely on Output. You do so at your sole risk.

Before you use or publish any Output, you must review and edit it with suitable human care. You are solely responsible for:

• checking facts, sources, calculations, citations, instructions, and quality;
• checking for plagiarism and for copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, moral-rights, defamation, and other legal issues;
• getting all permissions, releases, licenses, professional reviews, and legal advice that your use needs;
• making all AI, authorship, public-domain, and other disclosures required by law, a copyright office, a retailer, or a publishing platform;
• following the rules of Amazon KDP and every other store, marketplace, printer, distributor, or platform that you use;
• your title, author name, cover, product description, claims, advertising, price, taxes, refunds, royalties, customer service, and sales;
• all claims from readers, buyers, rights holders, platforms, and regulators; and
• keeping your own copies and backups of all source and export files.

A file described as “store-ready” is formatted for common store requirements. It is not a promise that a store will accept it or that it meets every rule for your book, market, or location. We do not review, approve, endorse, or certify Your Content.

8. No professional advice or high-impact use

Output is not legal, medical, financial, tax, safety, or other professional advice. Do not use it as the sole source of truth or as the sole basis for a decision that can have a legal or material effect on a person. This includes decisions about health, credit, employment, housing, education, insurance, or legal rights.

If your book gives professional, health, safety, financial, or regulated advice, you are responsible for qualified review, correct warnings, and all required licenses and disclosures.

9. Acceptable use

You must follow all applicable laws and must not use the Service to:

• infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights;
• create or spread fraud, scams, deceptive publishing, false impersonation, defamation, unlawful harassment, or unlawful discrimination;
• create abuse material, sexual exploitation, non-consensual intimate material, or content that facilitates violence or other illegal goods or services;
• collect, expose, infer, or process personal or sensitive information without a lawful basis and all required consent;
• generate malware, phishing, credential theft, or instructions for unauthorized access or harm;
• bypass a safety control, rate limit, credit charge, access rule, or technical restriction;
• probe, scan, reverse engineer, scrape, copy, resell, or interfere with the Service except where law clearly permits it;
• use automated access that we have not approved, other than the official MCP interface; or
• place an unreasonable load on the Service or harm another user, provider, or system.

10. Content controls and enforcement

We can use automated and human review to detect abuse, enforce these Terms, secure the Service, and meet legal duties. We are not required to monitor or review Your Content. We can refuse a request, limit a feature, preserve evidence, remove content, or suspend an account when we reasonably believe that content or activity breaks these Terms, creates risk, harms the Service, or can expose us or another person to liability.

We can disclose content and account information when our Privacy Policy permits it, including in response to lawful process or a safety threat.

11. Intellectual-property complaints

If you believe content processed through the Service infringes your rights, send a notice to contact[at]ebookbrew.com. Include your contact details, the protected work or right, the material at issue, enough information for us to find it, a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized, a statement that your notice is accurate, and your physical or electronic signature.

We can send your notice to the affected user. We can request more information, remove or restrict material, and suspend repeat infringers. A user can send a counter-notice with the same contact and identification details, an explanation of why the restriction was a mistake, and a signature. False notices can create legal liability.

12. EBookBrew property and feedback

We and our licensors own the Service, software, design, documentation, brand, and all related intellectual-property rights. These Terms give you only a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service while your account is in good standing. They do not give you a right to use our names, logos, or marks.

If you give us an idea, suggestion, or other feedback about the Service, you give us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use and commercialize it without restriction or payment to you.

13. Third-party services and platforms

The Service depends on third parties for sign-in, payments, hosting, analytics, email, storage, AI processing, and other functions. It can also connect to an MCP client that you choose. Third-party terms and privacy practices can apply. We do not control and are not responsible for a third-party service, model, output, policy, outage, security event, decision, or action.

EBookBrew is not affiliated with or endorsed by Amazon KDP, Etsy, Gumroad, or another publishing or sales platform unless we state otherwise in writing. A platform can reject, remove, reclassify, or restrict your book or account under its own rules. We have no liability for that action.

14. Credits, subscriptions, and payments

Prices are in US dollars unless checkout states otherwise. You authorize us and our payment provider to charge the payment method that you select, including applicable taxes. You must keep payment details current. We can correct pricing errors before we provide the affected paid service.

Subscriptions renew automatically for the same billing period until you cancel. You can cancel through the billing portal before the next renewal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. We can change a subscription price with at least 30 days’ notice, and the new price will apply at a later renewal.

Credits are a limited license to request generation work. They are not money, property, stored value, or a security. They cannot be sold, transferred, exchanged, or redeemed for cash. Subscription credits expire at the end of the billing period that granted them. Credit Pack credits do not expire while the Service continues and your account is in good standing. Free or promotional credits can have separate limits and can be changed or withdrawn.

A generation charge applies when generation starts. We normally return the charged credits if our system records a technical failure. We do not return credits only because you dislike, do not use, or cannot publish an Output. Exports do not use credits. An account with at least one completed, non-refunded payment can use the export feature while the Service offers it.

Except where law requires otherwise or we state otherwise in writing, payments are final and non-refundable. We can choose to refund an unused Credit Pack. A pack with used credits is normally not refundable. If a payment is refunded, reversed, or charged back, we can reverse the related credits and paid access. We can suspend paid features for overdue or disputed amounts.

15. Changes, availability, and beta features

We can add, change, limit, suspend, or stop a model, feature, format, integration, or part of the Service. We will use reasonable care to give notice of a material change when practical or required by law. The Service can have delays, errors, limits, or outages. We do not give a service-level commitment unless a separate signed agreement says so.

A preview, beta, or experimental feature can be incomplete, change without notice, and be removed at any time. It is provided for testing and at your risk.

16. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service at any time. Canceling a subscription stops a future renewal but does not close your account. Contact support@ebookbrew.com to request account closure.

We can limit, suspend, or terminate access immediately for a breach of these Terms, non-payment, fraud, legal or security risk, harm to a person or the Service, or activity that can expose us to liability. We can also end an inactive free account after reasonable notice.

After termination, your right to use the Service ends. You can lose access to Your Content, exports, and unused credits. Download your work before you close the account. We can delete content subject to our retention duties and Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature must continue will survive, including the sections on rights, payments, responsibility, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, disputes, and general terms.

17. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” YOU USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Sidewave Digital Inc., its affiliates, licensors, providers, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents (the “EBookBrew Parties”) disclaim all express, implied, and statutory warranties. This includes warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, availability, and any warranty from a course of dealing or trade usage.

We do not warrant that the Service or Output will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, complete, accurate, unique, lawful, non-infringing, free of harmful or offensive material, saved without loss, accepted by a platform, fit for publication, or able to produce sales or another result. Output does not state the views of an EBookBrew Party.

Some places do not allow some warranty exclusions. In that case, these exclusions apply only to the maximum extent that law permits. Nothing in these Terms removes a mandatory consumer right.

18. Limits on liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO EBOOKBREW PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, SALES, ROYALTIES, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA; COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.

This exclusion applies to all legal theories and even if a party knew that a loss was possible. It includes loss related to Your Content or Output; your review, use, publication, distribution, marketing, or sale of a book; a reader, buyer, rights holder, regulator, or platform claim; a store rejection or account restriction; an error, omission, inaccuracy, similarity, infringement, or harmful statement in Output; unauthorized account or agent activity; and a third-party service.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of all EBookBrew Parties for all claims related to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) CA$50 and (b) the amount that you paid to EBookBrew for the Service in the six months before the first event that caused the claim.

The exclusions and cap apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They are an essential basis of the agreement. You must bring a claim within one year after it arose, unless law does not allow this limit. Each EBookBrew Party is an intended beneficiary of this section.

19. Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the EBookBrew Parties from every third-party claim, demand, investigation, proceeding, loss, judgment, penalty, damage, cost, and reasonable legal fee that arises from or relates to:

• Your Content, including an allegation that Input or Output infringes a right or harms a person;
• your use, editing, publication, distribution, marketing, sale, or other exploitation of a book or Output;
• a claim by a reader, buyer, retailer, platform, rights holder, tax authority, or regulator;
• your breach of these Terms, a platform rule, or applicable law;
• your fraud, negligence, willful misconduct, or unauthorized use of the Service; or
• use of your account, credentials, or connected agent.

We can control the defense and settlement of a covered matter. You will give reasonable help. You must not settle a matter in a way that admits fault by, imposes duties on, or limits the rights of an EBookBrew Party without our written consent.

20. Release

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release the EBookBrew Parties from claims and disputes between you and a reader, buyer, retailer, publishing platform, rights holder, connected-client provider, or other third party that relate to Your Content, Output, or your book. We are not a party to your transaction or relationship with them.

21. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory right that lets you bring a claim elsewhere, the courts located in Toronto, Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction.

Before starting a formal claim, you and EBookBrew will each try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days after one party gives written notice. This does not stop either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief. Nothing in this section limits a right that applicable consumer law does not let you waive.

22. General terms

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any terms shown at purchase are the entire agreement about the Service. If purchase terms conflict with these Terms, the purchase terms control only for that purchase. The failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. If a term is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent needed, and the other terms will remain in effect.

You cannot assign these Terms without our written consent. We can assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, sale, or transfer of the Service or our business. There is no partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship between you and EBookBrew.

We are not liable for delay or failure caused by an event outside our reasonable control. Notices can be given in the Service, on our website, or by email to the address on your account. Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.”

23. Changes and contact

We can update these Terms. We will post the new version and change the effective date. We will give additional notice before a material change when law requires it. Your continued use after the new terms take effect means that you accept them. If you do not accept an update, you must stop using the Service.
