QuickNovelThese Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Brantley Media Group LLC ("Brantley Media Group," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the QuickNovel iOS app (bundle identifier com.bmg.storyAI) and the storyaiapp.com website (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
QuickNovel is a general fiction-writing app: you can write a novel chapter by chapter, keep characters and plot consistent, design a cover, and publish to the in-app community. Fiction generated or published using the Service may include mature themes intended for adult readers, and the App Store rates QuickNovel accordingly (17+, or 18+ in regions where Apple uses that rating). By using the Service, you represent that you meet the minimum age required by the app's rating in your country's App Store, and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If we learn that you do not meet that age requirement, we will terminate your account.
2. Your account
QuickNovel creates an anonymous account for you automatically on first use, so you can start writing without giving us an email address. You may optionally create a permanent account using Sign in with Apple, Sign in with Google, or an email address and password, which lets you keep your books if you change devices. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your sign-in credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@storyaiapp.comif you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
3. Subscriptions, trials, and offers
Access to QuickNovel's features requires an auto-renewing subscription, billed weekly, monthly, or annually, at the prices displayed in the app at the time of purchase. The Service does not sell credits or other consumable items; a subscription is the only way to unlock features.
The annual plan may be offered with a 7-day free trial, and other plans may be offered with an introductory price for a first period. Introductory offers and free trials are granted by Apple once per Apple ID per subscription group. If you have already used an introductory offer or free trial in QuickNovel, you are not eligible for another one, and the app will show you the standard prices instead. If you do not cancel a free trial before it ends, your paid subscription begins automatically and you will be charged the plan's price.
We may from time to time offer a discounted price, including when you decline a purchase or when you are considering cancelling. Any such offer is described in the app at the time it is shown, applies only to the plan and period stated there, and renews at the standard price for that plan afterward unless the offer says otherwise.
All subscriptions are purchased through, billed by, and managed through the Apple App Store. Apple is the merchant of record for all purchases. Your subscription will automatically renew unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription, and view or manage a free trial, at any time in your Apple ID account settings.
Brantley Media Group does not process payments and does not issue refunds directly. All refund requests are handled by Apple under Apple's own refund policies. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, contact Apple through your purchase history in Settings or at reportaproblem.apple.com.
4. Acceptable use
QuickNovel is built for writing fiction, including fiction with mature themes intended for adult readers, but the following is never permitted, whether in a book, a character, a prompt, a chapter brief, a cover description, a manuscript upload, a review, a report, a profile, or anywhere else in the Service:
Sexual content involving, depicting, or describing a minor (anyone under 18, including a fictional character written or implied to be under 18), in any way, under any framing.
Content that sexualizes a real, identifiable person, or non-consensual intimate content about a real person, including public figures, without their consent.
Content that promotes violence, terrorism, or self-harm.
Content that harasses a real person, or that is otherwise unlawful, that infringes another person's intellectual property or publicity rights, or that defames or threatens a real person.
Attempting to bypass, disable, or manipulate the Service's content moderation or safety systems.
Using the Service to generate content for resale or redistribution in a way that misrepresents its origin, or scraping, reverse-engineering, or building a competing service from the Service.
Uploading malicious files, or manuscripts you do not have the rights to submit.
Every generation request — for a chapter, a title, a plot suggestion, a continuity summary, a manuscript analysis, or cover artwork — is screened by an automated moderation service before any AI provider sees it. A blocked request is a hard stop: it will not be generated, regenerated, or published, regardless of rephrasing, and we log blocked requests together with your account identifier, as needed to meet our legal and reporting obligations. Repeated or serious violations, including any attempt to generate or publish content sexualizing a minor, will result in immediate termination of your account without a refund of any unused subscription period.
If you turn on Parental Controls for your account, additional limits described in Section 6 and in our Privacy Policy apply.
5. User content and license
You retain ownership of the books, chapters, characters, and prompts you write or generate using the Service ("Your Content"). We do not claim copyright in Your Content.
To operate the Service, you grant Brantley Media Group a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display Your Content solely as needed to provide the Service to you, for example storing your books and rendering them in the reader. If you choose to publish a book to the community, you additionally grant Brantley Media Group and other users of the Service a license to view and interact with that published book, including reading, rating, reviewing, and bookmarking it, within the Service, for as long as it remains published. You can unpublish a book at any time, which ends the community-facing portion of this license going forward, though previously delivered interactions such as existing reviews may persist as described in our Privacy Policy.
You are solely responsible for Your Content and for having the rights to any manuscript you upload or any photo you use as cover art or a profile picture. You are also solely responsible for anything you export from the Service and publish elsewhere. If you export a book and publish it on a third-party platform such as Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), you are responsible for complying with that platform's own rules, including any disclosure requirements it applies to AI-assisted content. QuickNovel is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon or KDP.
6. Community
If you choose to participate in the community, the following applies in addition to the acceptable use rules above.
Publishing. You may publish a book once it has at least 3 chapters, and you may publish up to 3 new books per day. Published books are visible to other subscribers. You may rate and review other users' published books, subject to the same content rules and limited to one review per book; bookmark books; report books or reviews that violate these Terms; and block authors whose work you do not want to see.
Mature tag. A book that our automated moderation check flags in any category carries a "Mature" tag visible to other users, and this evaluation is re-run every time you publish or re-publish the book.
Anonymous publishing. You may publish a book anonymously, in which case other users see it credited to "Anonymous" with no author name, bio, avatar, or author page. Anonymity applies to other users only. We still record which account published the book so we can enforce these Terms, act on reports, and let you manage your own work. Publishing anonymously does not exempt a book from these Terms, from our Publishing Guidelines, or from automated moderation.
Moderation of published content. Every book is checked by automated moderation before it goes live, and reviews are checked before they post. Books that accumulate a threshold number of user reports are hidden from the community automatically pending review. Brantley Media Group may remove any published content, review, or profile information, and may suspend or terminate any account, that we determine in our reasonable judgment violates these Terms or our Publishing Guidelines, with or without notice.
Parental controls. If you turn on Parental Controls for your account, books tagged Mature are hidden from every community list and feed you see, and cannot be opened, for as long as Parental Controls stay on.
Content published by us. Some books in the community are created by Brantley Media Group using the Service, rather than by other users, so that the community is not empty for early readers. These books follow the same content rules as everything else.
7. AI-generated content disclaimer
QuickNovel uses third-party AI providers to generate story text and cover artwork: OpenAI, DeepSeek, and xAI (Grok) for text, and ModelsLab for cover images. AI-generated content is produced by statistical models. It may be repetitive, may inadvertently resemble content generated for other users or existing works, and is not guaranteed to be original, accurate, or fit for any particular purpose. We make no warranty that any AI-generated text or image is unique or free of similarity to other works. You are solely responsible for how you use, distribute, publish, or rely on any content generated through the Service, including any file you export, and for ensuring your use complies with applicable law.
8. Intellectual property
The Service itself, including its software, design, trademarks, and the QuickNovel name and logo, is owned by Brantley Media Group or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted to you in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.
9. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account from Manage account on the You tab. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, in particular the prohibition on sexual content involving minors, or if required to do so by law or by our service providers. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 5, 7, 8, 11, and 12, will survive.
10. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that AI-generated content will meet your expectations or be free of objectionable material despite our moderation efforts.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Brantley Media Group will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) $50.
12. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent superseded by applicable federal law.
[Dispute resolution placeholder: insert your preferred mechanism here, for example an arbitration clause with a named arbitration provider and a small-claims carve-out, or a venue and jurisdiction clause naming a specific court. Have counsel review before publishing.]
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide notice in the app. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
