By accessing or using StoryKeepr, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the platform. You must be at least 18 years of age to use StoryKeepr.

2. Description of Service

StoryKeepr is a platform for self-published authors to manage their book and audiobook catalog, track promotions and campaigns, create public-facing author profile and book landing pages, host downloadable files, and generate trackable links with analytics. The service may be updated, modified, or expanded at any time.

3. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account and to keep it up to date. Email verification is required to activate your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Your Content & Intellectual Property

Ownership. You retain all ownership rights to all content you upload to StoryKeepr, including but not limited to book metadata, audiobook details, cover images, author bios, manuscripts, ebook files, and any other materials ("Your Content"). StoryKeepr does not claim any ownership over Your Content.

License to StoryKeepr. By uploading Your Content to the platform, you grant StoryKeepr a non-exclusive, revocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, distribute, and make minor technical modifications to Your Content (such as generating thumbnails or reformatting for display) solely for the purpose of operating and providing the service as directed by you. This license exists only to enable the features you use on StoryKeepr and terminates when you delete Your Content or your account.

No Other Use. Except as described above in connection with operating the service, StoryKeepr will not use, sell, license, sublicense, or distribute Your Content for any other purpose. Your Content will never be shared with, sold to, or made available to third parties except as necessary to display it on your public pages or deliver it to your readers as you direct.

No AI or Machine Learning Use. StoryKeepr will never use Your Content — including your books, manuscripts, cover images, descriptions, or any uploaded files — to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop artificial intelligence models, machine learning algorithms, large language models, or any similar technology. Your creative work is yours alone and will not be used as training data under any circumstances.

Your Representations. You represent and warrant that: (a) Your Content is yours or you have the necessary rights and permissions to use it; (b) Your Content does not infringe on the copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights of any person or entity; and (c) Your Content is not fraudulent, illegal, defamatory, or libelous. You are solely responsible for protecting your rights in Your Content.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Upload content that infringes on others' intellectual property rights
  • Upload or distribute malware, viruses, or harmful code
  • Use the platform for any illegal purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the platform or other users' accounts
  • Use automated tools (bots, spiders, scrapers) to access the platform in ways that burden the service
  • Create multiple accounts to circumvent plan limitations
  • Collect or harvest personal information from other users or their public pages for commercial solicitation
  • Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the service without written permission

6. Fees & Payments

StoryKeepr offers free and paid subscription plans. Paid plans are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or yearly) through our payment processor. You authorize StoryKeepr to charge the payment method on file for all applicable fees.

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Upon cancellation, your account will remain active until the end of your current billing period, then revert to the free plan. You may request a full refund within 30 days of your initial subscription purchase by contacting us. No refunds are provided after the first 30 days or for accounts terminated due to a violation of these terms.

7. Amazon Affiliate Links

StoryKeepr may append Amazon affiliate tags to outbound purchase links. These tags help support the platform and do not cost readers anything extra. You may configure your own affiliate tags in your account settings, which will take priority over platform tags.

8. Downloads & Email Collection

StoryKeepr allows authors to create download pages for distributing digital files such as ebooks and PDFs. Authors may optionally enable email collection on their download pages, requiring visitors to provide an email address before accessing a file.

If you submit your email address on a download page, you acknowledge that:

  • Your email will be stored by StoryKeepr and shared with the author who created the download page
  • The author may use your email for newsletter subscriptions, marketing communications, or other purposes at their discretion
  • The author may export your email to third-party email or newsletter services
  • StoryKeepr is not responsible for how authors use collected email addresses once exported from the platform

Authors who use the email collection feature are responsible for complying with applicable email marketing laws, including CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and other regulations. Authors must provide recipients with a way to unsubscribe from future communications.

9. Campaign Links & Analytics

StoryKeepr provides campaign link and tracked link tools that record click data including timestamps and geographic location (country). This data is used to generate performance reports for authors. No personally identifiable information about link visitors is stored beyond aggregate analytics.

10. StoryKeepr Intellectual Property

The StoryKeepr service, including its original design, features, functionality, branding, and code (excluding Your Content), is and remains the exclusive property of StoryKeepr and its licensors. The service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the service.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, StoryKeepr and its owners, directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages (including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill) arising from your use of or inability to use the service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If StoryKeepr is found liable to you, our total liability is limited to the greater of: (a) the total fees you paid to StoryKeepr in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StoryKeepr and its owners, directors, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from: (a) your use of the service; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these terms; or (d) your violation of any third party's rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.

15. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the service at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to a breach of these terms, without prior notice or liability.

You may delete your account at any time from your Account Settings page. Account deletion permanently removes all your data, including books, audiobooks, cover images, uploaded files, analytics, and other content. This action cannot be undone.

16. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States.

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

17. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these terms or your rights under them to any third party without our prior written consent. StoryKeepr may assign these terms (including our rights and obligations) to any successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided that the successor agrees to be bound by these terms.

18. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide at least 15 days' notice via email or a prominent notice on the platform before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the platform after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the updated terms, you may close your account before they take effect.
