1. Service Overview

BotYourBook.com helps authors transform their books into interactive AI chatbots that engage website visitors, answer reader questions, and capture leads—without any coding.

2. Account Registration

You must create an account to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate information and keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

3. User Content & Ownership

You retain ownership of all content you upload, including manuscripts, logos, and customizations (“User Content”). By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, and process your User Content solely for the purpose of operating, improving, and supporting the Service, including analytics.

You also acknowledge that chatbot interactions (questions and answers) will be stored for analytics and dashboard features. We will anonymize data where possible.

You affirm that you have the necessary rights (including copyright) to use any content you upload. We reserve the right to disable accounts if ownership is disputed or upon receiving a valid DMCA notice.

You agree NOT to:

  • Use the Service for illegal activities.

AI-generated responses are for informational purposes only and may contain inaccuracies.

5. Fair Use & Usage Policy

Purpose:

  • Protect against abuse (bot attacks, excessive usage).
  • Set clear expectations for authors.
  • Keep it professional but customer-friendly.

A. Purpose of the Service

BotYourBook is designed to foster genuine engagement between authors and their readers by offering AI-powered chat interactions and automated lead capture.

B. Included Usage

Each subscription tier includes a generous allowance of:

  • Chatbot Interactions (Q&As)
  • Long-Form Email Responses
  • Lead Captures

These allowances are based on typical reader behavior patterns.

C. Definition of Fair Use

Fair use is defined as:

  • Human-driven reader interactions.
  • Reasonable usage within the plan limits.
  • No attempt to bypass Q&A or email limits via automation or scripts.

D. Prohibited Usage

  • Automated querying or spamming the chatbot.
  • Use of the platform for non-reader-related AI tasks (e.g., using it as a general-purpose GPT service).
  • Sharing access with unrelated third parties.

E. Overage & Throttling

If usage exceeds fair expectations, BotYourBook reserves the right to:

  • Throttle chatbot response times.
  • Charge overage fees per published rates.
  • Recommend plan upgrades.

F. Monitoring & Enforcement

We monitor usage patterns to ensure service quality for all users. Abuse may result in temporary suspension pending review.

G. Multi-Volume and Combined Works

The Free Tier is intended for a single, standard-length book. Uploading combined works, such as anthologies, boxed sets, or multi-volume collections compiled into one file, may exceed the intended scope of the Free Plan. These uploads may be subject to upgrade requirements, processing limitations, or administrative review.

On all plans, BotYourBook reserves the right to evaluate and limit book or bot uploads that exceed reasonable usage thresholds. Maintaining performance and content clarity for reader interactions is our top priority.
