Terms of Use

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Bookora (“Bookora,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They apply when you download, access, purchase through, or use the Bookora Android application and Bookora's related website and account services (together, the “Service”).

By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Additional terms shown by Google Play or at the point of purchase also apply. If mandatory consumer law gives you rights that cannot be limited by contract, those rights remain fully effective.

2. What Bookora Provides

Bookora is a reading application for compatible files, including EPUB and FB2. Depending on the version and your device, it may provide reader customization, local reading progress, highlights, text-to-speech and AI-assisted reading tools. Feature availability may differ by country, device, Android version, language, subscription status or release.

Bookora is not an ebook store, library or publisher. We do not provide the books you import and do not promise that every file, layout, language, speech engine or device will be compatible. We may improve, replace, suspend or discontinue features where reasonably necessary, subject to applicable consumer law and any commitments made for a paid service.

3. Eligibility, Age and Accounts

Bookora is intended only for users aged 16 and older. If you are under 16, you must not create an account, use Bookora's online services, make a purchase, submit content to AI, or send a support request. You must not create an account or make a purchase if doing so is prohibited by applicable law.

The Bookora Android app has no guest mode. A Bookora account and successful sign-in are required to use the app. Public legal and support pages may remain available without an app account. You must provide accurate information, keep access to your sign-in method secure and promptly notify us if you believe your account is compromised. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account unless it results from our failure to use legally required security measures. You may not sell, transfer, share commercially or create accounts through automated means.

4. Your Books and Other Content

You keep all rights you already hold in files, text, questions, highlights and other content you provide. Bookora does not claim ownership of your books. You are responsible for ensuring that you own the content or have permission or another lawful basis to store, process, narrate and use it with Bookora.

You must not use Bookora to infringe copyright, bypass digital rights management, unlawfully distribute books, or process content whose use is illegal. Bookora does not grant you rights to any third-party book. Local imports are not reviewed or endorsed by us.

To operate a feature you request, you give Bookora a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free permission to technically process the relevant content only for that purpose—for example, to parse and display a local file, send a selected passage to your chosen speech engine, or send necessary text to an AI provider when a cloud AI feature is clearly activated. This permission ends when the content is deleted from the relevant service, except for limited technical backups or legal retention described in the Privacy Policy.

5. Licence to Use Bookora

We grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Bookora on compatible devices for lawful personal use, subject to these Terms and Google Play's applicable rules. The Service, its software, design, branding and original content remain owned by Bookora or its licensors.

Except where applicable law expressly permits it, you may not copy, resell, sublicense, rent, reverse engineer, extract source code from, modify or create derivative commercial services from Bookora. You may not remove ownership notices or use Bookora's name, logo or visual identity without permission.

6. AI Features and Text-to-Speech

AI features may summarize, explain, answer questions or create study material from text you choose. AI output is generated probabilistically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased or unsuitable. It is provided as reading assistance, not as professional, medical, legal, financial, academic or safety advice. Verify important information with the original text and a qualified source. Do not rely on AI output for decisions that may cause harm or materially affect rights.

You are responsible for reviewing AI output before using or sharing it. We do not guarantee that output is unique or that similar output will not be produced for other users. To the extent permitted by law, Bookora gives you permission to use output generated for you, but cannot promise that the output is free of third-party rights in every jurisdiction.

Bookora Voice generates speech on your Android device. The relevant book text and generated audio are not sent to Bookora's servers for speech generation. Do not use narration to create or distribute an unauthorized audiobook or otherwise infringe rights.

7. Premium, Subscriptions and AI Credits

Some features may require Bookora Premium or a separate purchase. The exact price, currency, taxes, billing period, included features, credit allowance, trial terms and renewal date shown in Bookora and the Google Play purchase screen at the time you confirm the transaction form part of your purchase terms. Prices may vary by country and may change for future billing periods with the notice and consent required by Google Play and applicable law.

Bookora's planned Google Play offer for the compatible release is EUR 4.99 per month for Premium and EUR 1.99 for a one-time pack of 450 purchased AI credits. The products are not available until they appear in Bookora and Google Play. Google Play may display a localized price and tax; the amount shown there when you confirm controls the charge.

7.1 Subscriptions

A subscription renews automatically at the displayed interval unless you cancel it through Google Play before renewal. Google Play processes payment using your selected payment method. Deleting Bookora or your Bookora account does not cancel a subscription. After cancellation, you normally retain access until the end of the paid billing period unless Google Play or mandatory law provides otherwise.

The planned Premium offer may include a seven-day free trial with 100 AI credits for an eligible account. The details are shown before you start. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, it may become a paid subscription at the displayed price.

7.2 AI credits

AI credits give you access to Bookora AI features. They are not money: you cannot sell them, transfer them to another person or exchange them for cash.

Credits included with Premium last for the current monthly period and do not roll over. When the subscription renews, the unused balance is replaced with 350 new credits. Credits bought separately remain available after a subscription ends or is cancelled. Bookora may correct the balance after an error, refund or reversed payment while respecting credits you lawfully purchased and your consumer rights.

In the planned compatible release, explaining a selection costs 5 AI credits, asking a question about the current book costs 10 AI credits, and summarizing the current chapter costs 15 AI credits. Bookora shows the applicable cost before use. A separately purchased 450-credit pack does not grant Premium access.

7.3 Refunds and consumer cancellation rights

Purchase billing, cancellation and refund requests are handled through Google Play under its procedures, without limiting rights you have under mandatory law. If the law where you live provides a withdrawal right, exceptions may apply once immediate supply of digital content or a digital service begins with your prior consent and acknowledgement. Nothing in these Terms removes a remedy available for a defective or non-conforming digital service.

8. Acceptable Use

You must not use the Service to:

• break the law, infringe rights or facilitate harmful activity;
• upload malicious code or interfere with Bookora, its providers or other users;
• bypass access, purchase, credit, usage, rate or security controls;
• probe or exploit vulnerabilities without our prior written authorization;
• scrape, automate or overload online features in a way not expressly supported;
• misrepresent AI output as verified fact or use it to deceive or harm others; or
• use the Service to develop or benchmark a competing model or service through unauthorized automated extraction.

We may use reasonable technical limits to protect the Service, prevent abuse and control provider costs. If we reasonably believe your use violates these Terms, we may restrict the relevant feature, suspend the account or terminate access after proportionate notice where practical, unless urgent action is needed for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance or protection from harm.

9. Updates, Availability and Third-Party Services

You may need to install updates for security, compatibility or continued operation. The Service may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, device conditions, internet failure or third-party services. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, but this does not limit any legal quality or conformity guarantee that applies to a paid digital service.

Google Play, Google sign-in, database and authentication services, OpenAI, Android, device manufacturers, and speech engines may apply their own terms. We are not responsible for an independent third-party service, but remain responsible for Bookora's own obligations and for providers acting on our behalf where applicable law so requires.

Bookora may collect limited technical information to identify and fix app problems. Reports are accepted only from signed-in accounts and may include the type of problem, app version, basic device information, and time. They do not include book content, AI requests, passwords, payment details, or ordinary internet connection problems. Retention is explained in the Privacy Policy.

10. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what data is processed, why, where local books are stored, how technical diagnostics and providers are used, and how to exercise privacy rights. It forms an important part of your use of the Service, but consent to these Terms is not treated as consent to optional data processing where separate consent is legally required.

11. Feedback

If you voluntarily send ideas or suggestions, you permit us to use them to improve Bookora without payment or confidentiality obligations. This does not transfer ownership of your books, personal data or other content, and does not apply where we separately agree in writing to keep material confidential.

12. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Bookora is provided on an “as available” basis and we disclaim implied promises that may lawfully be excluded. We do not guarantee the accuracy of AI output, compatibility of every book, uninterrupted third-party services, or preservation of local files after device failure, clearing app data, uninstalling, operating-system action or lack of backup. You should keep lawful backup copies of important files and notes.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, loss of profit, opportunity or data that was not reasonably foreseeable when you accepted these Terms. Where liability may lawfully be capped, our aggregate liability connected with a paid Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for that Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or EUR 50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your mandatory rights as a consumer. Any limitation applies only to the maximum extent permitted in your country.

13. Suspension, Termination and Account Deletion

You may stop using Bookora at any time and may request account deletion in the app or through the public account-deletion page. Account deletion does not automatically erase device-local books and does not cancel a Google Play subscription.

After verification, deletion removes your ordinary account data, including technical error reports. A limited billing and refund history is kept for six years after the end of the relevant calendar year, as explained in the Privacy Policy. It cannot restore your account and is not used for marketing. Encrypted purchase proof is kept for no more than 180 days after the subscription or payment process ends.

We may suspend or end access for a material or repeated breach, security threat, fraud, legal requirement, prolonged service discontinuation or non-payment. Where appropriate, we will give notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct the issue. If we permanently discontinue a paid service before the end of a prepaid period for reasons unrelated to your breach, we will provide the remedy required by applicable law.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, payment obligations already incurred, disclaimers, lawful limits of liability and dispute terms—remain effective.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect new features, legal requirements, security needs or reasonable business changes. We will publish the new version and effective date. For a material change, we will provide reasonable advance notice in the app or by another appropriate method where required. Changes do not retroactively remove rights already earned, and we will request renewed agreement where the law requires it.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Cyprus, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections of the country where you habitually reside. Courts in Cyprus have jurisdiction, but a consumer may also bring proceedings in any court available under mandatory consumer law.

Before filing a claim, please contact us with a clear description of the issue so we can try to resolve it informally. This request does not shorten a legal limitation period or prevent either party from seeking urgent relief or using a regulator, consumer authority or court.

16. General Terms

If part of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining terms will continue. Our failure to enforce a term once is not a waiver. You may not transfer your agreement without our consent; we may transfer it as part of a genuine reorganization or transfer of Bookora, provided your mandatory rights are not reduced. These Terms, the purchase information shown at checkout and any feature-specific terms form the entire agreement about the Service, subject to applicable law.
