Terms of Service

You own your stories. Stories, characters, and other content you create using Azories ("User Content") belong to you. You grant Azories a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, and process your content solely to provide the service.

Marketing, social media & derivative works. By creating or publishing content on Azories, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable licence to display, reproduce, adapt, publish, transmit, publicly perform and create derivative works from your User Content (including stories, characters, illustrations, covers, narrations and animations) on:

• Azories' own social media channels (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, YouTube Shorts, X, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest and any similar platforms we operate now or in future)
• Azories' website, app, marketing emails, in-app promotional carousels and press releases
• Paid advertising placements on those platforms and elsewhere
• Compilation reels, "story of the week" videos, animated Shorts, thumbnails, teaser trailers and other derivative works we produce from your content

Monetisation. This licence is expressly extended to cover any monetisation of those platforms and derivative works, including — but not limited to — YouTube Partner Programme ad revenue, TikTok Creator Fund payouts, Instagram bonuses, sponsored posts, brand partnerships and affiliate placements. You acknowledge that Azories is not obliged to share any revenue generated from this monetisation with you. This does not affect any separate revenue-share programme you have expressly opted into with us in writing.

We will never sell your raw content as a standalone product to third parties and we will credit you (by your public display name) where reasonably possible. You can opt out at any time by emailing books@azories.com with the subject line "Opt out of marketing use" and we will remove the affected content from our owned channels within 14 days. Opting out does not affect (a) content we have already shared publicly and which cannot practicably be recalled from third-party platforms, or (b) derivative works already published; but we will not use new content from your account going forward. You retain ownership of your content at all times.

You are responsible for your content. By creating content on Azories, you confirm that:

• Your content does not infringe the copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or other intellectual property rights of any third party
• Your content does not reproduce, adapt, or derive from copyrighted characters, stories, or worlds without authorisation (e.g. Harry Potter, Peppa Pig, Disney characters)
• You have all necessary rights and permissions for any content you upload or incorporate
• Your content complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction

Uploaded photos & likenesses. If you upload a photo of a person (including yourself, your child or another family member) to personalise a book, you confirm and warrant that:

• You are the parent or legal guardian of every child depicted, or you have obtained the express written consent of every adult depicted (and, for children, of their parent or legal guardian);
• You have the right to grant Azories the licence set out in this Section 3 with respect to those likenesses, including for the marketing, derivative-works and monetisation uses described above;
• You will not upload a photo of any person without the authority described here; and
• You will indemnify and hold Azories harmless from any claim, loss, cost or damage (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of a third-party assertion that an uploaded photo, likeness or personal detail was submitted without proper authority.

General indemnity. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Azories, its officers, employees, contractors and affiliates from any claim, demand, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your User Content; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual-property, publicity or privacy rights; or (d) your misuse of the Azories service.

AI-generated content. Images and text generated by our AI tools in response to your prompts are provided to you as outputs. You are responsible for ensuring that your prompts and the resulting outputs do not infringe third-party rights. Azories does not guarantee that AI-generated content is free from third-party claims.

Printed books. When you order a printed version of your story, you are solely responsible for ensuring that the content is original and does not infringe any third-party intellectual property. Azories reserves the right to refuse print orders that appear to contain infringing content.

Takedown & content control. Azories reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove, hide, edit for length, or refuse to use any User Content for any lawful reason, including where a third party has raised a good-faith intellectual-property or privacy complaint. Removal from Azories' own channels does not constitute an admission of infringement and does not entitle you to any refund of subscription fees or credits.

Azories respects intellectual property rights. If you believe that content on our platform infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to us containing:

• A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
• A description of where the infringing content is located on our platform
• Your contact information (name, address, email, phone number)
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorised
• A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf
• Your physical or electronic signature

Certain features of Azories require a paid subscription, a story top-up, or credits. Stories are your main currency for creating personalised AI books — each personalised AI book consumes one story from your monthly subscription allowance or your top-up balance. Credits are a separate pool used for optional extras like page animations, HD cover regeneration and audio narration.

Stories and credits are non-refundable once used. Unused stories or credits may be refunded within 14 days of purchase if none have been consumed. Writing your own book by hand is always free and does not consume stories or credits.

Print orders are fulfilled by our third-party print partner (Lulu Press). Once a print order has been submitted to production, it cannot be cancelled. Refunds for print orders are subject to our print partner's policies and are generally only available for manufacturing defects.

All prices are displayed inclusive of applicable taxes. We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time with 30 days' notice for existing subscribers.
