Terms of Service

Plain-language summary of what Shelfs AI does and does not do.

What the service is

Shelfs AI is a preparation workspace. It helps you write, format, and organize a book and produce packages you can upload to bookstores yourself. It is not a publisher, an agent, or a distributor.

No publishing on your behalf

We do not submit your book to any storefront. We do not request or store bookstore account credentials. Every upload and approval is your action inside the store's own portal.

Your content, your rights

You retain all rights in your manuscript, cover, and metadata. You grant us only the limited permission needed to store and process your files so the product can function.

No guarantees

We do not guarantee store approval, sales, rankings, income, discoverability, or legal compliance. Research figures, keyword scores, and readiness percentages are estimates produced by software, not promises.

Acceptable use

You are responsible for the legality of what you publish, including copyright, plagiarism, defamation, privacy, and any store-specific AI disclosure requirements. Accounts used for infringing or unlawful content may be suspended.

Billing and cancellation

Paid plans renew until cancelled. You may cancel at any time and keep access through the end of the current period. Payment processing may not be enabled yet in your region or on your account.

Trademarks

Amazon, Kindle Direct Publishing, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble Press, Kobo Writing Life, IngramSpark, Draft2Digital, Lulu, ACX, and Audible are trademarks of their respective owners. Shelfs AI is independent and unaffiliated.
