Terms of Service

By accessing or using Passage (“the App”, “the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. These terms apply to all users of the App, including free and premium subscribers.

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes through the App. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use Passage on devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial reading purposes.

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the App
• Use the App to upload, transmit, or distribute illegal, harmful, or infringing content
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the App or its backend systems
• Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or abuse the App’s API
• Resell, sublicense, or exploit the App commercially without our written consent

Subscription plans. Passage offers optional Premium subscriptions that unlock AI-powered features. Subscriptions are available on a monthly ($0.99/month) or annual ($9.99/year) basis.

Billing. Subscriptions are processed through Apple’s In-App Purchase system. Your Apple ID account will be charged upon confirmation of purchase. All billing, refunds, and payment disputes are governed by Apple’s terms — we do not have access to your payment information.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID Account Settings at any time.

Refunds. All purchases are final and non-refundable except as required by applicable law or at Apple’s discretion through their standard refund process.

Your content. Books you import into Passage remain your property. We claim no rights to documents you upload. By using AI features on your imported books, you grant us a temporary, limited license to process that content solely to generate your requested AI response.

Our content. The Passage name, logo, interface design, and all original content created by us are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may not use our brand assets without prior written permission.

Third-party content. Book metadata and catalog data is sourced from Open Library (Internet Archive) under open licenses. AI responses are generated by OpenAI and are provided “as is.” We do not claim ownership of AI-generated text.

Passage’s AI features (book chat, character lookup, recommendations) are powered by large language models and are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. AI responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated and should not be relied upon as a substitute for reading the actual text.

Passage integrates with third-party services including Supabase (authentication), OpenAI (AI responses), and Open Library (book catalog). Your use of these services through Passage is also subject to their respective terms of service.

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PASSAGE OR ITS OPERATORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP.

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App immediately, without prior notice or liability, if you breach these terms.
