Terms of Service

You must be at least 13 years old to use Previously On. If you're under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements.

You're responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. Don't share your password or let others access your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, contact us immediately at legal@previouslyon.app.

You may only create one account per person. Accounts are non-transferable. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

Previously On is for personal, non-commercial use only. You may use the Service to track your own reading progress, explore story data, and manage your personal book library.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any commercial purpose without our written permission
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract data from the Service in bulk
• Upload files you don't have the right to process (see Section 5)
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
• Use automated tools to access the Service without our permission
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with any entity

You may upload EPUB files to Previously On for processing. By uploading a file, you represent and warrant that:

• You own the file or have the legal right to upload and process it
• Uploading and processing the file doesn't violate any copyright, license, or third-party rights

We process uploaded files to extract structured story data (characters, events, plotlines) using AI. The original file is deleted after processing. You retain ownership of any files you upload. We don't claim any rights over your uploaded content.

We're not responsible for the accuracy of AI-extracted story data. The Service is a reading companion tool, not a substitute for reading the source material.

The Previously On app, website, logo, and all associated software are owned by us and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. These Terms don't grant you any rights to our intellectual property beyond the limited license to use the Service as described here.

Book titles, character names, and story content belong to their respective authors and publishers. Previously On doesn't claim ownership of any third-party intellectual property that appears in processed story data.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We don't guarantee the accuracy or completeness of AI-generated story data.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Previously On and its officers, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including loss of data, loss of profits, or service interruptions.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the Service won't exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or $10 USD if you haven't paid us anything.

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain liability limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Previously On and its officers, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by law.

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to contact us at legal@previouslyon.app and give us 30 days to resolve the issue informally.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we'll notify you via email or an in-app notice at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
