Terms and conditions

Julia is an installable web app (PWA) that lets anyone write their own book by talking. The author dictates their ideas out loud, Julia transcribes each recording into text using artificial intelligence, organizes the material and, when the author requests it, writes a manuscript draft formatted for publication on Amazon KDP or other platforms.

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern access to and use of Julia, including both the public website and the author app. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with them, you must not use Julia.

To use the author app you must create an account and meet the following conditions:

• Be of legal age under the laws of your country of residence, or have the consent of your legal guardian.
• Sign up with a valid phone number that belongs to you; verification is done through a one-time code sent by SMS.
• Keep your access confidential: a given phone number is tied to a single account and a single role for its entire life on the platform.
• Provide truthful information and keep it up to date.

You are responsible for all activity carried out from your account. Notify us immediately if you detect unauthorized use. We may suspend or cancel accounts that violate these Terms or that pose a risk to the service or to other users.

You agree to use Julia lawfully and responsibly. In particular, the following is not allowed:

• Dictating, uploading, or generating content that is unlawful, defamatory, that incites hatred or violence, or that violates the rights of others.
• Infringing the intellectual property, image, or privacy rights of other people when dictating or publishing your work.
• Attempting to access accounts, recordings, or transcripts that do not belong to you, or circumventing the service's security measures.
• Using the service to send spam or malware, or to perform reverse engineering, automated scraping, or unauthorized load testing.
• Reselling, sublicensing, or commercially exploiting access to Julia without express written authorization.

Violating this clause may result in the limitation, suspension, or cancellation of your account, without prejudice to any applicable legal action.

The author retains ownership of the rights to their work at all times. The recordings you dictate, their transcripts, the generated manuscript, the synopsis, the cover, and the exports are your property.

• Julia claims no authorship rights, co-ownership, or exploitation license over your work.
• You grant us only the limited, non-exclusive, revocable technical license needed to store, process, transcribe, and generate your manuscript and provide you with the service.
• We never sell your content or share it with third parties for commercial purposes, and we don't use it to train third-party artificial intelligence models.
• You are solely responsible for ensuring that you own the rights to the material you dictate and that publishing it does not infringe the rights of others.

The "Julia" brand, the software, the interface, and the elements of the service are the property of Julia and are protected by intellectual property law; these Terms do not transfer any rights over them to you.

Julia is monetized through a monthly subscription based on storage space, managed through our payment processor Stripe. The current plans are:

• Trial: 1 free trial month, with the storage limit specific to the trial period.
• Basic: 29 USD per month, with 5 GB of storage space.
• Pro: 59 USD per month, with 15 GB of storage space.
• Internal license: granted exceptionally by the Julia team, free of charge and with unlimited space and time.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each monthly period, charging the payment method on file, until you cancel. Prices are expressed in US dollars and do not include taxes that may apply in your jurisdiction. We may update prices with reasonable advance notice; changes apply to subsequent renewal periods.

Each subscription is registered with our payment processor (Stripe) as a direct monthly donation to Global Recovery (theglobalrecovery.org), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization; Julia donates 100% of its profits (after operating, infrastructure and AI costs) to that organization. Donations are tax-deductible in the United States to the extent permitted by applicable law.

1. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your plan settings — no paperwork, no phone calls.
2. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for; you keep access until that date and you are not charged again.
3. After cancellation, your existing books and recordings are preserved and you can keep reading and exporting them; creating new content is limited if you exceed your plan's available space.
4. You can delete your account permanently: doing so deletes your books, recordings, transcripts, covers, and exports in cascade. This action is irreversible.

Unless required otherwise by law, fees already paid are non-refundable for elapsed periods.

Julia uses artificial intelligence to transcribe your recordings and draft your manuscript. These technologies can produce results that are inaccurate, incomplete, or in need of correction.

• The generated manuscript, transcript, and synopsis are a supporting draft; the author must review, correct, and validate their accuracy before publishing them.
• Julia does not guarantee that generated content is error-free, original, fit for a particular purpose, or suitable for publication without review.
• The author is solely responsible for the content they publish and for verifying that it does not infringe third-party rights or applicable law.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, Julia will not be liable for indirect damages, lost profits, or data loss arising from the use of AI-generated content. The service is provided "as is" and "as available".

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at the service provider's domicile, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rules that may apply in your country of residence. Any dispute arising from these Terms will be submitted to the competent courts of that domicile, unless the law mandates a different venue.

If any clause of these Terms is found to be void or unenforceable, the rest will remain fully valid. We may modify these Terms for legal or security reasons, or as the service evolves, notifying you of substantial changes; continued use of Julia after they take effect implies acceptance.

If you have questions about these Terms and Conditions, you can write to us through the contact page or to the email address below. We handle legal inquiries as promptly as reasonably possible.
