Terms of Service

1. Agreement to terms

By creating an account or using Nookclub (the “App”), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Nookclub. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms on your behalf.

3. Your account

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account and to keep it up to date. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

4. Subscriptions and payments

Nookclub offers a free tier with limited features and optional paid subscription plans that unlock additional functionality. Subscriptions are available on weekly, monthly, and yearly billing cycles and may include a free trial period.

• All payments are processed through Apple's App Store ( “In-App Purchase”). By subscribing, you also agree to Apple's terms of service.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription prices are displayed in the App Store and may vary by region.
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same rate.
• Free trials convert to a paid subscription automatically unless cancelled before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings.
• Refunds are handled by Apple according to their refund policy. We do not process refunds directly.

5. Your content

You retain ownership of all content you create in Nookclub, including highlights, reflections, notes, and profile information. By using the App, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your content solely to provide the service to you and, where applicable, to other members of your book clubs.

When you share content in a book club, other members of that club can view it. You are responsible for the content you share and agree not to post anything that is illegal, harmful, abusive, or violates the rights of others.

6. AI-generated content

Nookclub uses artificial intelligence to generate personalized reflection questions based on your reading activity, highlights, and notes. These questions are generated by a third-party AI service (Anthropic) and are intended to enhance your reading experience.

AI-generated content is provided “as is” and may not always be accurate, relevant, or appropriate. We do not guarantee the quality or suitability of AI-generated content. Your highlights and reading data are sent to the AI provider solely to generate these questions and are not used to train AI models.

7. Book clubs

You may create and join book clubs within the App. As a club creator, you are responsible for the club's activity. We reserve the right to remove clubs or content that violate these terms. Club members can see shared reflections, meeting details, and other content you choose to share within the club.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose
• Harass, abuse, or harm other users through book clubs or shared content
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App or its systems
• Interfere with or disrupt the App's functionality
• Use automated means to access the App (bots, scrapers, etc.)
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity
• Upload content that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others

9. Intellectual property

The Nookclub name, logo, design, and all original content and features of the App are owned by Nookclub and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the App without our written permission.

10. Account deletion

You can delete your account at any time from within the App. When you delete your account, we permanently remove your profile, reading data, highlights, reflections, and all other personal data. Content you shared in book clubs may remain visible to other members in anonymized form. Account deletion is irreversible.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to Nookclub at any time if you violate these terms or if we discontinue the service. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as content ownership, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will continue to apply.

12. Disclaimers

Nookclub is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We are not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any AI-generated content or user-submitted content.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Nookclub and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim related to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $50 CAD, whichever is greater.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Nookclub and its operator from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your content, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights. This includes, but is not limited to, content you share in book clubs and any misuse of the service.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the App shall be resolved in the courts of Montreal, Quebec.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the App or by email. Your continued use of Nookclub after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

17. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
