Terms of Use

1. Overview

DraftAudio provides tools that allow authors and creators to upload manuscripts and related materials, generate AI-assisted audiobook drafts, store and stream private audio content, share invite-based listening access, and collect beta listener feedback and revision insights. DraftAudio is intended for private revision, workflow support, and beta listening purposes.

2. Ownership of Content

You retain ownership of all manuscripts, audio files, artwork, and other content you upload to DraftAudio ("Content"). By uploading Content, you represent and warrant that you own the Content or have all necessary rights, licenses, permissions, and authority to upload and use the Content with the Service.

You are solely responsible for the legality, accuracy, and ownership of your Content.

3. Limited License to Operate the Service

By uploading Content, you grant DraftAudio a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, convert, store, transmit, stream, and display your Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. This license ends when your Content is deleted from the Service, except where retention is required for operational, backup, legal, or security purposes.

4. Copyright Responsibility

DraftAudio does not review uploaded content for copyright ownership or legal compliance. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the legal rights necessary to upload, convert, share, and distribute your Content using the Service. DraftAudio is not liable for copyright infringement, unauthorized uploads, misuse of uploaded materials, or disputes regarding intellectual property ownership.

Authors are solely responsible for any AI content disclosure obligations required by downstream platforms (such as Amazon KDP) when publishing works processed through DraftAudio's AI-assisted audio generation service.

If you believe copyrighted material has been uploaded without authorization, please submit a DMCA takedown notice as described in Section 6 below.

5. Private Sharing and Beta Listening

DraftAudio allows authors to share audiobook drafts through authenticated accounts and invite-based beta listening workflows. Authors are responsible for determining who may access their shared Content. While DraftAudio uses commercially reasonable measures to help protect user content, no online platform can guarantee absolute security or prevent unauthorized sharing, recording, or copying.

Authors may request removal of their Content at any time, and DraftAudio will honor removal requests within a commercially reasonable time. Authors are responsible for communicating confidentiality expectations to their beta listeners. DraftAudio recommends that authors inform listeners that Content is unpublished and confidential.

6. DMCA Takedown Procedure

DraftAudio complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe your copyrighted work has been uploaded to DraftAudio without authorization, please submit a written notice containing:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
2. Identification of the infringing material and its location on the Service;
3. Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email address;
4. A statement of good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
5. A statement under penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
