BookBooth Terms of Service
 
Effective Date: September 1, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the BookBooth mobile application, bookbooth.app, and related services operated by BookBooth LLC (“BookBooth,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By creating an account or using BookBooth, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, do not use BookBooth.

1. BookBooth

BookBooth is a social book-discovery and recommendation platform that allows users to discover books, receive recommendations, create and share content, communicate with other users, maintain reading lists, and use other book-related features.

Certain features may use artificial intelligence.

BookBooth also provides advertising features through which eligible users or businesses may purchase advertising placements.

You may need a BookBooth account to use certain features.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate account information

• Maintain the security of your login credentials

• Not share or misuse another person's account

• Notify us if you believe your account has been compromised

• Use BookBooth in accordance with these Terms

You are responsible for activity conducted through your account to the extent permitted by applicable law.

3. Acceptable Use

You may not use BookBooth to:

• Harass, threaten, intimidate, or abuse others

• Promote hatred or unlawful discrimination

• Promote self-harm or violence

• Impersonate another person or organization deceptively

We may investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action.

4. User Content

You retain ownership of content you create and submit to BookBooth.

To operate BookBooth, you grant BookBooth LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, display, and distribute your content as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, moderate, and operate BookBooth.

This license does not transfer ownership of your content to BookBooth.

Certain content may remain in anonymized form after account deletion where necessary to preserve community content, other users' conversations, moderation records, or other legitimate service functions, as described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit content you upload to BookBooth.

5. Community Features and Direct Messages

BookBooth includes social and messaging features.

You are responsible for your interactions with other users.

Direct messages are intended to be private between participants, but they are not end-to-end encrypted.

Participants may report inappropriate messages. When a message is reported, information from that message may be reviewed by authorized BookBooth moderators.

6. Reporting, Blocking, and Moderation

BookBooth provides tools for reporting inappropriate content, messages, and users and for blocking other users.

We may take actions including:

• Dismissing a report

• Warning a user

• Removing content

• Suspending an account

• Deleting an account

BookBooth may take action when we reasonably believe content or conduct violates these Terms, applicable law, or creates a safety or security risk.

If you wish to appeal a moderation decision, contact admin@bookbooth.app.

7. AI-Powered Recommendations

BookBooth may use artificial intelligence to generate book recommendations and related information.

AI-generated recommendations may contain errors, including incorrect book information, ISBNs, covers, availability, descriptions, or other details.

AI-generated results are provided for discovery and informational purposes and should not be treated as guaranteed factual information or an endorsement by BookBooth.

Third-party services may provide book metadata and cover images.

You are responsible for evaluating recommendations and deciding whether to purchase or read a book.
 

Librarian Searches

A “Librarian search” means a user action that causes BookBooth to generate a new AI-powered recommendation request. One Librarian request counts as one search regardless of the number of book recommendations returned.

If you refine a recommendation request and the refinement causes BookBooth to generate a new AI-powered recommendation request, that refinement counts as another Librarian search.

Ordinary book searches performed through BookBooth's Shelves or catalog-search features do not count as Librarian searches.

BookBooth may impose usage limits on AI-powered features based on account type, subscription status, purchased search balances, abuse-prevention measures, or other reasonable service limitations.

8. External Retailers and Links

BookBooth may provide links to third-party websites or retailers such as Amazon.

BookBooth is not the seller of products purchased through those third-party services. Your purchase is governed by the third party's applicable terms and policies.

BookBooth currently does not receive an affiliate commission from its standard Amazon search links. We may introduce affiliate relationships in the future and will make appropriate disclosures if we do.

9. Advertising

BookBooth may allow users or businesses to purchase advertising campaigns displayed within the BookBooth application.

Available advertising packages, pricing, duration, and placement may change over time and will be presented before purchase.

Advertising content may be subject to limits concerning image size, headline length, description length, destination URLs, content, and other technical or editorial requirements.

Advertising Review

All advertisements are subject to BookBooth review.

Purchasing an advertising package does not guarantee approval of the advertisement.

A campaign does not begin running until the advertisement has been approved.

BookBooth may request changes to advertising content before approval.

BookBooth may reject, pause, or remove advertisements that violate our policies, these Terms, applicable law, third-party platform requirements, or
reasonable safety and quality standards.

If BookBooth rejects an advertisement before its campaign begins, the advertiser may be eligible for a refund of the applicable advertising purchase, subject to the refund process and policies of Apple or Google, as applicable.

Advertising Performance

BookBooth may provide estimated or recorded impressions, clicks, and other campaign information.

We do not guarantee:

• A specific number of impressions unless expressly stated as part of the purchased package

• Clicks

• Click-through rates

• Sales

• Conversions

• Revenue

• Any other advertising outcome

Advertising campaign duration begins when an approved advertisement becomes active.

10. In-App Purchases
 

Certain BookBooth purchases are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Purchases are also subject to the applicable platform's terms, billing rules, and refund policies.

BookBooth may receive transaction information necessary to verify purchases, determine applicable entitlements, restore eligible purchases, prevent duplicate transaction use or fraud, and provide the purchased service. A purchase may not be considered complete by BookBooth until the applicable transaction has been successfully verified.

BookBooth Plus

BookBooth Plus is an optional auto-renewing subscription. At launch, BookBooth Plus is offered for $2.99 per month and includes up to 30 Librarian searches per day.

Free BookBooth accounts currently include up to 5 Librarian searches per day.

Daily included Librarian search allowances reset at midnight UTC. Unused included daily searches do not carry forward to future days.

Subscription pricing and benefits will be displayed before purchase and may change in the future. Any applicable price changes will be handled in accordance with Apple App Store or Google Play requirements.

BookBooth Plus subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled in accordance with the applicable Apple App Store or Google Play subscription procedures. You may manage or cancel your subscription through the store account used to make the purchase.

Cancelling a BookBooth Plus subscription prevents future renewal but generally does not terminate the subscription benefits already paid for before the end of the applicable subscription period, subject to the applicable platform's rules and the status of the subscription.

Deleting the BookBooth application or deleting your BookBooth account does not necessarily cancel an Apple App Store or Google Play subscription. You are responsible for cancelling an active subscription through the applicable store if you no longer wish it to renew.

Extra Librarian Searches

BookBooth may offer one-time purchases of additional Librarian searches. At launch, users may purchase 10 Extra Librarian Searches for $1.99, subject to the price displayed by Apple or Google at the time of purchase.

Purchased Librarian searches are separate from the included daily search allowance. BookBooth uses the applicable included daily search allowance before deducting purchased Librarian searches.

Purchased Librarian searches do not expire and remain associated with the applicable BookBooth account until used, subject to these Terms and applicable law.
 

Extra Librarian Search packs may be purchased more than once and may be available to both Free and BookBooth Plus users.

Restoring Purchases

Where applicable, BookBooth provides purchase-restoration or recovery functionality for eligible purchases and subscription entitlements. Certain consumable purchases may be restored through BookBooth's server-side account records rather than through the platform's standard restoration mechanism.

If you believe a verified purchase has not been properly credited to your account, contact admin@bookbooth.app.

Refunds

Purchases made through Apple or Google are subject to the applicable platform's refund rules and procedures. BookBooth does not guarantee that a refund request will be approved where the decision is controlled by Apple or Google.

Nothing in this section limits refund, cancellation, or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be limited.
 
11. Creator and Other Payment Features

BookBooth may introduce creator, influencer, sponsorship, or other payment features.

Where such functionality is available, additional terms or third-party payment-provider terms may apply.

Payment services may be provided by third parties such as Stripe.

12. Intellectual Property

Except for user content and third-party materials, BookBooth and its associated software, design, branding, trademarks, logos, interfaces, and original materials are owned by or licensed to BookBooth LLC.

The BookBooth name and branding may not be used in a manner that falsely suggests endorsement, affiliation, or authorization.

Book covers, metadata, retailer information, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners.

13. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to BookBooth if we reasonably believe you have:

• Violated these Terms

• Violated applicable law

• Created a safety or security risk

• Engaged in fraud or abuse

• Seriously or repeatedly violated community standards

Suspension may prevent you from signing into your account and may revoke active sessions.

You may delete your account through BookBooth's account settings or through the process described at bookbooth.app/delete-account.

14. Service Availability

We work to keep BookBooth available and functioning, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Features may be changed, suspended, or discontinued.

We may perform maintenance or make changes necessary for security, legal compliance, product development, or service operation.

15. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BookBooth is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

BookBooth LLC does not warrant that:

• The service will always be available or error-free

• User-generated content will be accurate

• AI-generated recommendations will be accurate

• Book metadata or availability will be correct

• Advertising will produce particular results

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BookBooth LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or relating to your use of BookBooth.

BookBooth LLC will not be responsible for losses resulting solely from:

• User-generated content

• Interactions between users

• Decisions based on AI-generated recommendations

• Third-party websites or retailers

• Third-party payment services

• Advertising performance

These limitations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law and do not limit rights or remedies that cannot legally be limited.

17. Your Responsibility for Violations

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for claims, losses, or costs resulting from content you unlawfully submit or your material violation of these Terms or another person's rights.

18. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in the BookBooth Privacy Policy available at:

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as BookBooth evolves or legal requirements change.

If we make material changes, we may provide notice through the app, our website, or by email as appropriate.

Continued use of BookBooth after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance where permitted by applicable law.

20. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise.

If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that provides mandatory local rights or protections, nothing in these Terms is intended to remove those rights.
