Terms of Service

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Jul ("the Platform"), an AI-powered book generation service operated by Jul's Publishing House ("we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account or using the Platform in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a legally binding contract to use Jul. By registering, you represent that you meet these requirements. Accounts registered on behalf of a business must be authorised by that business.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at julspublishinghouse@gmail.com if you suspect any unauthorised access. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. AI-Generated Content — Disclaimer

Jul uses third-party AI models (including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google) to generate book content based on your inputs. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. We make no warranty as to its accuracy, fitness for purpose, or reliability.
• We do not guarantee that generated content is original, free from copyright infringement, or legally publishable. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all output before publication or distribution.
• We are not liable for any legal, financial, reputational, or other consequences arising from the publication or use of AI-generated content produced by the Platform.
• Your book-generation prompts and content are transmitted to third-party AI providers. Refer to their respective privacy and data policies for how they handle this data.

5. Ownership of Generated Content

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you own the output (books and related content) generated through your use of the Platform. We claim no ownership over your generated books. We do, however, retain all rights to the Platform itself — including its code, design, branding, and systems.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Platform to:

• Generate content that is illegal, defamatory, hateful, obscene, or otherwise harmful.
• Infringe the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party.
• Circumvent usage quotas, rate limits, or tier restrictions imposed by the Platform.
• Reverse engineer, copy, or resell any part of the Platform without express written permission.
• Use automated scripts or bots to access the Platform outside of the features we provide.
• Attempt to compromise the security or integrity of the Platform or its users.

Violation of these rules may result in immediate account suspension or termination without refund.

7. Subscriptions and Payments

Jul offers paid subscription tiers (Basic, Pro, and Premium). All pricing is listed in USD and payment is collected in the Naira (NGN) equivalent at the prevailing rate communicated to you at the time of upgrade.

• Upgrades are activated upon confirmation of payment via a redemption code issued by us.
• Subscription fees are non-refundable once a redemption code has been issued and applied.
• We reserve the right to change pricing at any time with reasonable notice to existing subscribers.
• We may suspend or downgrade your account if a payment is found to be fraudulent or reversed.

8. API Keys

Pro and Premium tier users are required to provide their own API keys from third-party AI providers. Your API keys are encrypted and stored securely. You are solely responsible for the usage and costs incurred on your own API keys. We are not liable for any charges billed to you by third-party providers as a result of your use of the Platform.

9. Availability and Service Changes

We strive to keep Jul available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes. We are not liable for any loss arising from downtime or service changes.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Jul's Publishing House and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Platform. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Jul's Publishing House, its operators, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your generated content, or your violation of these Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Lagos State, Nigeria.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If changes are material, we will notify you by email.
