2. What Bookvaib is

Bookvaib is a tool for self-publishing authors: a Studio for writing and designing covers, AI tools, and a Marketplace where authors sell their books or link to stores.

3. Account

The service is for adults. You are responsible for what you do on your account and for keeping access to it confidential. You can ask for your account to be deleted from your profile at any time.

If we find a violation that could seriously harm the service or other users (e.g. abuse of the tools or payments, attempts to bypass security or limits, malicious files, unlawful content), we may suspend the account — in urgent cases immediately and without notice. We tell you by e-mail, with the reason; you can appeal by writing to support. Suspension does not delete your content.

4. Tokens, plans and file storage

AI tools cost tokens; the price of each action is shown before you run it. The rest of the Studio works without tokens.

When tokens are charged. Tokens are charged for a successful AI call, meaning one in which the AI model returned a result — text, an image or a recording. Every call that produced a result counts as successful, regardless of its quality or whether it meets your expectations: including an illustration with a flaw (e.g. a character with three hands or six fingers, text in the image), text with an inaccuracy, or a recording with a different intonation than you wanted. AI models can be unpredictable and we are not responsible for the quality, accuracy or usefulness of what they return. You can generate the result again — that is a new call, charged in tokens like any other.

Tokens are returned (or never charged) only when there is no result: an error or outage on the AI provider's side, a refusal by the model (e.g. its safety filters), an interrupted recording, or a failure on our side.

  • Purchased tokens do not expire.
  • The first 14 days of a plan are a free trial with the full token allowance (one per account and one per payment card — a card that already had a trial pays right away); payment is taken when it ends. If the payment fails or you cancel during the trial, the plan ends and the trial tokens are removed from your account.
  • Plan tokens arrive every month (also on a yearly plan). Tokens from every paid period stay in your account, even after you cancel the plan.
  • AI action prices with and without a plan are shown in the pricing; some tools are available only on plans.
  • Every plan has a file storage limit. Once it is exceeded you cannot save new files, but you can still view, download and delete the existing ones. After a plan ends, the previous limit applies for 30 more days.
  • On an account without a plan, files (images, PDFs, recordings, uploads) are kept for a year from saving or from the end of the plan. We remind you 30, 15, 5 and 1 day before and then delete them. Book text stays.
  • You can change your plan or turn off its renewal at any time; it stays active until the end of the paid period.
  • We reserve the right to change plans, their prices, allowances, limits and the action price list at any time. A change to a plan you already pay for applies to you from the next billing period — we tell you by e-mail before it starts.

5. Your content

What you create and upload remains yours. You only allow us to store and process that content to the extent needed for the service to work. Do not upload content you do not hold the rights to, or unlawful content.

6. Marketplace

  • By listing a book you declare that you are its author or hold the right to publish and sell it.
  • Every listing is reviewed before it becomes public; changing a published listing sends it back for review.
  • A listing must give the buyer something to download or a link to a store.
  • From a file sold through Bookvaib the author receives 85% of the price; 15% is the service's commission.
  • A buyer needs no account: the purchase is tied to the e-mail address given at payment, and the file is available right after it.

7. Digital content and withdrawal

Tokens, book files and AI tool results are digital content delivered immediately. By buying them you agree to immediate delivery and acknowledge that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal.

8. No warranty and liability

The service and its tools are provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied — including any warranty of availability, uninterrupted or error-free operation, or fitness for a particular purpose. The service may have maintenance breaks, and its look and range of features may change.

  • We do not guarantee sales, income, rankings or acceptance of a book by Amazon KDP or any other platform.
  • Results of the AI tools (texts, descriptions, keywords, images, illustrations, recordings) may be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable for publishing. You review and correct them before publishing — you are responsible for them as for your own content.
  • You are responsible for your books, covers, keywords and descriptions complying with Amazon KDP's terms and content guidelines and with copyright and trademark law. We are not liable for account suspensions, removed books or lost revenue on third-party platforms.
  • The KDP file check is an aid, not a guarantee: KDP may assess a file differently.
  • Keep your own copies of important files — book and data export is always available in the Studio and in your profile.
  • Nothing in the service is legal, tax, financial or publishing advice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damages or lost profits arising from the use of, or inability to use, the service. This does not limit any liability that cannot be excluded by law, or consumer rights under mandatory law.
