Terms & Conditions

Last updated: January 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using PodtoBook.ai (the "Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. Our service converts podcast episodes into book formats using artificial intelligence technology.

If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service. By continuing to use our service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

2. Service Description

PodtoBook.ai transforms podcast RSS feeds into readable books in PDF, DOCX, and EPUB formats. Users can select up to 15 episodes per book for conversion.

Our AI technology performs substantial transformation, reorganization, and adaptation of podcast audio content into written book format. The service extracts non-expressive elements while creating new expression and meaning in book form.

Processing time typically ranges from 1-2 hours depending on episode length and quantity. Users receive email notifications when books are ready for download.

We provide a free sample chapter for quality review before purchase. Download links expire after 7 days from delivery.

3. User Responsibilities

Users must ensure they have appropriate rights, authorization, or ownership to access and convert the content they submit to our service. We respect intellectual property rights and expect users to do the same.

Users are responsible for:

  • Verifying they have rights to process submitted podcast content
  • Providing accurate and valid RSS feed URLs
  • Complying with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Not submitting content that infringes on third-party rights
  • Using the service only for lawful purposes

Users agree not to use the service to process content they do not own or have permission to use, or to create derivative works that violate intellectual property rights.

4. Payment and Credits

Our service operates on a credit-based system where credits are consumed when generating books. One credit equals one complete book (up to 15 episodes).

Payment terms:

  • Personal Bundle: $249 for 1 book credit
  • Agency Bundle: $997 for 5 book credits
  • All prices are in USD and subject to applicable taxes
  • Payment is required before book generation begins
  • Credits remain valid for 12 months from date of purchase

Quality assurance: We provide priority support with all orders to ensure every episode and chapter is complete and professionally formatted. If any chapters are incomplete or encounter processing issues, we will regenerate them at no additional cost to maintain the highest quality standards.

Refund policy: All sales are final once a book has been successfully generated and delivered. If technical issues prevent successful book generation, the system will automatically refund your credit for future use.

We encourage reviewing our free sample before purchasing to ensure our service meets your needs.

5. Intellectual Property and Content Rights

All rights to original podcast content remain with the respective creators and copyright holders. Our AI technology performs transformative processing that extracts non-expressive elements while creating new written expression.

Users retain ownership of any books generated through our service, subject to the rights of original content creators. Generated books may be used for personal, educational, or commercial purposes in accordance with applicable copyright law.

The PodtoBook.ai platform, including its AI technology, algorithms, and proprietary methods, remains the intellectual property of Five Milestones LLC and its licensors.
