Terms & Conditions

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you confirm a parent or guardian has reviewed these terms on your behalf. Residents of jurisdictions where the minimum digital-services age is higher (for example, 16 in parts of the EU) must meet that local age requirement.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your password secure. You may not impersonate another person or use a username that misrepresents who you are. You can delete your account at any time from your account settings; deletion removes your profile, bookmarks, public recommendations, and Goodreads import.

3. Free and Readalikes+ Plans

Browsing reading lists, saving bookmarks, posting recommendations, and signing in are free for any account. The AI book recommender is metered:

• Free tier. Your first AI search shows a free preview of your picks, and publishing a recommendation publicly unlocks one full search. The bonus is one-shot and never resets. Accounts created before October 22, 2026 also keep their three free requests.
• Readalikes+. Unlimited AI recommendation requests, as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. The price is shown before you buy and can differ between our website and the App Store or Google Play, and by country. Taxes are added where required.

4. Billing, Renewal, and Cancellation

Purchases in our apps. If you buy Readalikes+ in our iOS or Android app, payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and length unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Lifetime access is a single payment that never renews. Refunds for app purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.

Purchases on our website. Readalikes+ bought on readalikes.ai is processed by Stripe. By subscribing there, you authorize us, through Stripe, to charge your payment method the monthly or yearly fee until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from the billing page of your account on readalikes.ai.

Wherever you subscribed, Readalikes+ stays active until the end of the period you have paid for after you cancel.

5. Refunds

Readalikes+ charges made on our website (both initial and renewal) are refundable if you request a refund within 48 hours of the payment time. To request a refund, email us at hello@readalikes.ai from the address on your account. After 48 hours, website payments are non-refundable, but you can still cancel future renewals at any time. Refunds for purchases made in our apps are handled by Apple or Google.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Submit content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, defamatory, or that infringes another person’s rights
• Use the Service to spam, scrape, or attempt to circumvent free-tier limits or paywall
• Attempt to disrupt the Service, probe for vulnerabilities without prior written consent, or interfere with other users
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit AI-generated recommendations or other content from the Service

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

Community standards. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Anyone can report a public recommendation from the “•••” menu on it in our apps, or by emailing hello@readalikes.ai. We review reports within 24 hours, remove content that breaks these rules, and remove the accounts of people who post it.

7. Your Content

You retain ownership of everything you submit (recommendations, “why” notes, profile information). When you mark a recommendation as public, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and promote that recommendation across the Service (including the public recommendations wall and any future feeds) for as long as you keep it public. Setting a recommendation back to private, or deleting your account, terminates that license going forward.

8. Affiliate Disclosure

We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, the Bookshop.org affiliate program, and the ThriftBooks affiliate program. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate revenue does not influence our editorial picks.

9. AI Recommendations

The AI recommender uses Anthropic’s Claude model. Recommendations are generated from the book preferences you submit (titles, mood, or filters) and, if you have uploaded one, your Goodreads library. AI-generated text and metadata can contain inaccuracies (wrong publication years, misattributed authors, fabricated titles); we check every recommendation against library catalogues and show only books we can match, but we do not guarantee that every recommendation is correct. Treat AI output as a starting point for your own judgment.

Using an AI feature (a search, a bookshelf or cover photo scan, or a Goodreads import) sends the information that feature needs, including your photos, to Anthropic, a third-party AI provider. By using these features you agree to that sharing, as described in our Privacy Policy.

9a. Our Apps

These Terms also apply to the Readalikes apps for iOS and Android. If you use the iOS app, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where it conflicts with these Terms, these Terms govern to the extent allowed. Apple and Google are not parties to these Terms and are not responsible for the apps, their content, maintenance, or support.

10. Intellectual Property

The Readalikes name, logo, editorial reading lists, design, and original written content are owned by us. You may not copy or republish them without permission. Book covers, titles, and author names are the property of their respective rights holders and are used here for editorial and discovery purposes.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that recommendations will match your taste, that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that AI-generated content is accurate. Third-party links (booksellers, OpenLibrary, etc.) are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for the content, availability, or pricing of those sites.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Supersparks Apps Ltd and its directors, officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or USD $50, whichever is greater.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access without notice if you violate these terms or if continued service would expose us or other users to legal or operational risk. On termination, sections that by their nature should survive (refunds, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law) remain in effect.

14. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated “last updated” date and, where appropriate, surfaced in-product before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

15. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the courts located in Vancouver, British Columbia, and you consent to that jurisdiction. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country in which you reside.
