Noveletta Terms of Service (v1)
Effective date: December 23, 2025
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Noveletta website, apps, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is operated by Guildling LLC ("Guildling," "Noveletta," "we," "us," or "our").
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1) Eligibility
The Service is intended for users 13 years of age or older. If you are under 13, you may not use the Service.
We do not actively verify users' ages. By using the Service, you represent that you meet the eligibility requirement.
2) Privacy
Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and share information (including analytics). The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
3) Accounts and access
You can browse parts of the Service without an account. Certain features may require an account.
If you create an account, you agree to:
- provide accurate and current information,
- keep your account credentials secure, and
- be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
We may support sign-in methods such as Google, Apple, Discord, and magic links, and may add or remove sign-in options over time.
4) The Service and content
Noveletta is designed to provide a spoiler-aware experience (including tracking your current chapter). While we aim to reduce spoilers, we cannot guarantee the Service will be completely spoiler-free, and you use the Service at your own discretion.
The Service may include automated or AI-assisted outputs (such as summaries, tags, relationships, or classifications). These outputs may be incorrect, incomplete, or outdated.
5) Derived Content, limited excerpts, and respect for authors
Noveletta is built to help readers navigate stories without redistributing them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, content displayed in the Service is not the original text of any book or web novel, and instead consists of user activity signals (e.g., favorites, likes, reading progress) and originally written, derived reference material such as summaries, descriptions, metadata, relationships, and observations.
We do not intend for the Service to be a substitute for reading the original work. We aim to present information in a way that is transformative and reference-oriented, including spoiler controls where available.
The Service may include limited excerpts or quotes from third-party works in some contexts (for example, to support identification, attribution, commentary, or discussion). Any such excerpts are intended to be short, attributed where possible, and used only where we believe it is permitted under applicable law.
If you are a rightsholder and believe something in the Service crosses a line, we want to fix it. Please contact us at support@noveletta.com (or use the DMCA process below for copyright infringement claims).
6) License to use the Service
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.
Except as permitted by law, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or reverse engineer the Service or any portion of it.
7) User submissions
The Service may allow you to submit or store information such as feedback form responses, favorites, likes, and reading progress ("User Submissions"). The Service may later include features like comments, forums, edits, uploads, or other community contributions; if you use those features, they are also covered by this section.
You retain ownership of your User Submissions. However, you grant Guildling a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display), and use your User Submissions to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service.
You represent and warrant that:
- you have all rights necessary to submit your User Submissions, and
- your User Submissions do not violate any law or infringe the rights of any third party.
8) Spoilers and community rules
Where the Service enables user-generated content (now or in the future), you agree not to post content that overtly spoils story content beyond the relevant chapter gates (where provided) or otherwise violates our spoiler rules and community guidelines.
Violations may result in content removal, warnings, account restrictions, or bans, especially for repeated or abusive behavior. We may enforce these rules at our discretion.
9) Prohibited conduct
You agree not to:
- violate any applicable law or regulation;
- infringe intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any person;
- harass, abuse, threaten, defame, or otherwise harm others;
- attempt to bypass spoiler controls, access restrictions, rate limits, or security measures;
- interfere with or disrupt the Service (including by introducing malware or exploiting vulnerabilities);
- scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data from the Service without our written permission;
- use the Service to develop, train, or improve competing products or models using our content or data without our written permission;
- impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
10) Intellectual property
The Service (including software, design, user interface, branding, and trademarks) is owned by Guildling LLC and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
Third-party works, names, logos, and trademarks referenced in the Service belong to their respective owners. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to third-party content except as allowed by law.
11) Copyright complaints (DMCA) and repeat infringers

12) Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY.
We do not warrant that:
- the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
- defects will be corrected;
- the Service or servers are free of viruses or harmful components; or
- any content (including AI-generated content) is accurate, complete, or reliable.
Your use of the Service is at your sole risk.
13) Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUILDLING LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
14) Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Guildling LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
- your use of the Service;
- your User Submissions;
- your violation of these Terms; or
- your violation of any rights of another party.
15) Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. You may stop using the Service at any time.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and general provisions) will survive.
16) Modifications to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms on the Service and updating the "Effective date" above. We may also provide additional notice (such as via email or in-app notification) for significant changes.
Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.
17) Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Boulder County, Colorado, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
18) General provisions
- Entire Agreement: These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and Guildling regarding the Service.
- Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
- Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.
- Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.
