You may not use the Services if you are barred from receiving services under the laws of your jurisdiction of residence or from which you access the Services.

You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

5. Your Content and Intellectual Property

5.1 You Own Your Content

You retain all right, title, and ownership in and to any screenplays, scripts, text, annotations, recordings, and other materials you upload to or create through the Services (collectively, "Your Content"). Offbookly does not claim any ownership over Your Content.

Offbookly does not use Your Content — including any script text, generated audio, or speech-to-text transcripts — to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise improve any artificial intelligence, machine learning, speech-synthesis, voice-cloning, or biometric-identification model. Offbookly does not use any audio, transcript, or other voice-derived data to identify or authenticate you as an individual, to create a voiceprint, or as a biometric identifier within the meaning of any biometric privacy law (including, without limitation, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS 14).

You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated outputs and should not rely on them as the sole source of truth for professional performances.


7. Network and Device Requirements

7.1 Internet Connection

The Services require an active internet connection to function. An internet connection is required for features including, but not limited to, uploading scripts, AI-powered script parsing, text-to-speech audio generation, and syncing your data across sessions. The connection can be Wi-Fi or provided by your mobile network provider.

Offbookly is not responsible if the Services do not function at full capacity because you do not have access to Wi-Fi or have exhausted your mobile data allowance. If you are using the Services outside of a Wi-Fi area, your mobile network provider's terms and data charges may still apply. You accept responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the Services outside of your home territory without disabling data roaming.

7.2 Device Responsibility

You are responsible for ensuring that your device remains charged and operational. Offbookly cannot accept responsibility if the Services are unavailable to you because your device runs out of battery or is otherwise inoperable.

7.3 Device Permissions

Certain features of the App require you to grant device-level permissions, including microphone access and (on iOS) speech-recognition access. You may revoke these permissions at any time through your device's system settings; if you do, the affected features will be disabled but you may continue to use the rest of the App.

7.4 Device Modification Warning

Offbookly strongly advises against modifying your device by jailbreaking (iOS) or rooting (Android). Such modifications may compromise your device's security, expose it to malware and viruses, and may cause the App to malfunction or become unable to function properly. Offbookly shall have no liability for any issues arising from the use of a jailbroken or rooted device.


8. Subscriptions, Payments, and Cancellation

8.1 Subscription Plans

Access to certain features of the Services requires a paid subscription. Details of available plans, pricing, and included features are displayed within the App.

8.3 Automatic Renewal

Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription through your device's app store settings.

In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Offbookly, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.


14. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Offbookly and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or related to:
