Terms of Service

Who can use Off Book

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using it, you confirm that you are 16 or over and that the information you give us is accurate.

Your account

You are responsible for your account and for keeping your login details secure. You must not share your account or let anyone else use it. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

Access to the Service may be granted on an approval or waitlist basis. We may decide, at our discretion, when and whether to approve an account, and we may operate a waiting list before granting access.

Subscriptions, payment and cancellation

Some features require a paid subscription. Prices are shown at the point of purchase and include applicable taxes. Payments are processed by our payment provider, Stripe; we do not store your full card details.

Subscriptions renew automatically for the billing period you selected (for example, monthly) until you cancel. You can cancel at any time, and cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will continue to have access until then. We do not provide pro-rata refunds for partial periods except where required by law.

Digital content and your right to cancel. Where you purchase access to digital content or services that begin immediately, you agree that access starts as soon as you subscribe, and you acknowledge that by asking for immediate access you lose the statutory 14-day right to cancel once the Service has begun. Where this consent and acknowledgement have not been given, your statutory cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 continue to apply.

We may change our prices. If we do, we will give you reasonable notice before the change affects you, and you may cancel if you do not agree to the new price.

Your content and the scripts you upload

You keep ownership of the scripts, notes, recordings, images and other material you upload or create in the Service (“Your Content”).

This clause matters — please read it. Scripts, screenplays and plays are usually protected by copyright owned by their writers or publishers. By uploading or entering any content into the Service, you confirm that:

• you own the rights to that content, or you have permission from the rights-holder to use it, or your use is otherwise permitted by law (for example, your own original work); and
• your content does not infringe anyone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, copy, display, process and adapt Your Content solely to provide the Service to you — for example, to store your uploads, parse and break down scripts, generate actioning suggestions, and produce spoken audio through our text-to-speech provider. This licence exists only so the Service can work, ends when you delete the content or close your account (subject to reasonable backup retention), and gives us no right to use Your Content for any other purpose.

You are responsible for what you upload. We are not liable for content you upload that you did not have the right to use, and you agree to indemnify us against any claim arising from your content infringing someone else’s rights.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• upload content you have no right to use, or that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful;
• resell, redistribute or commercially exploit the Service or its output without our permission;
• copy, scrape, reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the Service;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems;
• use the Service to build or train a competing product; or
• misuse the Service in any way that disrupts it or harms other users.

We may suspend or remove content, or suspend or close accounts, that breach these rules.

AI-generated features

Off Book uses automated and AI-based features, including script parsing, actioning (verb) suggestions, and text-to-speech. These are provided as tools to support your own creative judgement. They may contain errors, produce inaccurate or unexpected results, and are not professional, artistic, or legal advice. You should review and use your own judgement on anything the Service suggests. We do not guarantee the accuracy, quality or suitability of any AI-generated output.

Beta

The Service is provided on an early-access / beta basis. This means it is still under active development: features may change, be added or removed, and the Service may contain bugs or be interrupted. While we take care to protect your data, you should keep your own copies of anything important, as we cannot guarantee against loss during the beta.

Our intellectual property

The Service itself — including the Off Book name, logo, design, software, and content we create — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. These Terms do not give you any rights in it beyond the right to use the Service as permitted here.

Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers to function, including hosting, payment processing, and AI providers. Your use of the Service may be subject to their terms, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. How we handle your personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if required by law, or if we stop providing the Service. Where reasonable, we will give you notice. Clauses that by their nature should survive termination (including sections 4, 5, 11 and 12) will continue to apply.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties not expressly stated in these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of data, loss of profit, or loss of opportunity, and our total liability to you in any 12-month period is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in that period (or £100 if you have paid us nothing).

Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except that if you live elsewhere in the UK you may bring proceedings in your own jurisdiction.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will give you reasonable notice (for example, by email or a notice in the Service). Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
