Terms of Service

Account registration

You must provide a valid email address and create a password, or authenticate via Google or Apple Sign-In, to use Leatherbound. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent’s or guardian’s consent to use the Service. Your account is for your personal use. You may not share your account credentials with others.

Catalogue packages & payment

Leatherbound sells one-time catalogue-capacity packages that increase how many books you can store. Package sizes and prices are shown at checkout. Packages are one-time purchases, not subscriptions, and do not auto-renew.

A discounted Starter package may be purchased once per rolling 30-day window. Larger packages (Collector, Library, Archive) are single-purchase per account; additional capacity is available through Refill Packs. All payments are processed by Stripe. By making a purchase, you also agree to Stripe’s terms of service.

Refund policy. Refunds may be requested within 14 days of purchase by contacting support@leatherbound.ai. Refunds are granted at our discretion, and we consider factors such as usage of the purchased capacity. We are not obligated to issue refunds after 14 days or for packages where substantial capacity has been consumed.

What you can do

Leatherbound is for personal cataloguing of a library you own or manage. You may use the Service to photograph shelves, identify books, track condition and value, organize collections, export data, and generate reports.

What you cannot do

You may not:

• Use automated tools, scripts, bots, or scrapers to access the Service.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users’ data or to our servers and systems.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service.
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
• Redistribute, sublicense, or resell access to the Service.
• Upload content that is illegal, infringing, or harmful.
• Circumvent any access controls, rate limits, or security measures.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Your content

You retain ownership of the photos, notes, and other content you upload to Leatherbound (“Your Content”). By uploading content, you grant us a limited license to store, process, display, and transmit Your Content solely to provide and improve the Service for you. We do not claim ownership of Your Content, and we will not use it for advertising or sell it to third parties. When you delete Your Content or your account, we remove it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Valuations are estimates

The market values Leatherbound provides are best-effort estimates generated by AI analysis of publicly available market data. They are not professional appraisals, insurance valuations, or guarantees of resale value.

You should not rely on Leatherbound valuations as the sole basis for insurance coverage, sale pricing, estate planning, or any financial decision. For those purposes, consult a qualified appraiser (such as an ABAA or ASA member). We make reasonable efforts to produce accurate estimates but do not warrant their correctness, completeness, or timeliness.

Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, code, branding, and documentation, is owned by Leatherbound and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or other brand features.

Third-party services

Leatherbound integrates with third-party services including Stripe (payments), Google Vertex AI (image analysis), Supabase (data hosting), and Railway (application hosting). Your use of these services through Leatherbound is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.

Service availability

We strive to keep Leatherbound available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may perform maintenance, deploy updates, or experience outages. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of planned downtime.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice and ensure you can export your data before shutdown.

Termination

You may delete your account at any time from Account → Delete Account. Upon deletion, your data is removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms, if required by law, or if we reasonably believe your account poses a security risk. We will provide notice and an explanation unless prohibited by law.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT VALUATIONS WILL BE ACCURATE.

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEATHERBOUND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO LEATHERBOUND IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR FIFTY DOLLARS ($50), WHICHEVER IS GREATER. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Leatherbound, its owner, and its service providers from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these terms, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of any third-party rights.

Dispute resolution

We encourage you to contact us at support@leatherbound.ai to resolve any disputes informally before initiating formal proceedings. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally within 30 days, either party may pursue resolution through the courts.

Governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the app at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Entire agreement

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Leatherbound regarding your use of the Service.
