Terms of Use

Who can use NovaTek

These terms apply to every version of NovaTek Book Publishing: the website (app.novatekbookpublishing.com), the desktop app, and the iPhone, iPad and Android apps. Together we call them "the service".

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use the service.

Your book stays yours

You keep all rights to everything you write or upload. You give us a limited permission to store, copy and process your content only to provide the service to you (for example, to summarize your manuscript, make suggestions or prepare your files). This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in routine backups until they are overwritten.

You are the publisher

You publish your book under your own name and your own accounts (for example your Amazon KDP account). NovaTek is not the publisher of record and does not take a share of your royalties. You are responsible for your book's content, listing, pricing and any ISBN you use.

Your responsibilities

• Upload only content you own or have permission to use, including quotes, photos, lyrics and images.
• Check facts, names, quotes and permissions before you publish. Get consent where needed before writing about real people.
• Keep your sign-in secure and tell us if you think someone else used your account.
• Do not use the service for illegal content, hate, harassment, or to infringe anyone's rights.

AI features and disclosures

Some features use artificial intelligence. Suggestions are offered to help you; they are never applied unless you choose them. AI output can be wrong or incomplete, and you are responsible for the final text you publish.

Stores may ask you to disclose AI use. For example, Amazon KDP asks authors to tell it when text, images or translations were generated by AI. Answering those questions correctly is your responsibility. The app reminds you when you prepare your listing.

Translations

AI translations can contain mistakes. Haitian Creole (Kreyòl) and other translations must be reviewed by a fluent or native speaker before you publish them.

No professional advice

NovaTek gives writing and publishing help. It does not give legal, tax, financial or medical advice. For contracts, permissions, taxes or rights questions, talk to a qualified professional.

No promises about sales

We help you prepare and publish your book. We cannot promise sales, income, rankings, reviews or bestseller status.

Plans, limits and payments

Each paid plan is a one-time payment for one book: the Author plan (US$179, about 50,000 words) or the Legacy plan (US$259, about 90,000 words). A book on the Author plan can be upgraded to the Legacy plan by paying the difference. There is no subscription. The free trial and paid plans include AI usage limits that are shown in the app. When a book reaches its word limit, AI writing that adds new words stops, but you can keep writing and editing by hand.

Purchases are made on our website and processed by Stripe, not through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Sales tax is added at checkout where it applies. We do not see or store your full card number.

All sales are final. No refunds are given after purchase, except where the law requires one.

Emails we send

We send emails you need to use the service, such as sign-in links and codes, important account notices and changes to these terms. We send news or offers only if you choose to receive them, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Copyright complaints

If you believe content on NovaTek infringes your copyright, send a notice to info@novatekbusinesssolutions.com with the subject "Copyright notice". Include: your contact details; the work you say is infringed; where the material is on our service; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We will review notices and may remove material and suspend repeat infringers. The author can send a counter-notice to the same address.

You agree to protect us

If someone makes a claim against NovaTek because of content you uploaded or published, or because you broke these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses from that claim, to the extent the law allows.

Publishing platforms and app stores

When you publish on Amazon KDP or another store, that store's own terms apply between you and the store.

If you use our iPhone or iPad app, these terms are between you and NovaTek, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app, its content, support or any claims about it, and Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these terms as third-party beneficiaries. Apple's standard licensed application end user license agreement also applies where these terms do not cover something. The same applies to Google for our Android app: Google is not responsible for the app.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or the law, and we will tell you why unless the law prevents it.

Disclaimer and limit of liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses (such as lost sales or lost data), and our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US$50. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Disputes

Talk to us first: most problems can be solved quickly. Before starting any claim, email info@novatekbusinesssolutions.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve it.

If we can't resolve it, any dispute will be decided by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, held in Palm Beach County, Florida, or online. Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court. Claims must be brought individually, not as part of a class or representative action.

You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of creating your account by emailing info@novatekbusinesssolutions.com with the subject "Arbitration opt-out". If you opt out, or if arbitration does not apply, disputes will be decided by the state or federal courts in Palm Beach County, Florida.

If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, nothing in this section takes away the rights your local consumer law gives you, including the right to bring a claim in the courts where you live.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, except where your local consumer law says otherwise.

Changes to these terms

If we make important changes, we will tell you by email or in the app at least 14 days before they take effect. If you keep using the service after that, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, you can delete your account.
