Terms of Use

Effective November 10, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Tyler Mulvey (“we”), who makes TOMOTOMO, the ebook reader and audiobook player for iPhone and iPad. By using the app or this site you agree to them. If you got TOMOTOMO from the App Store, Apple’s Standard EULA applies too, and these terms add to it. How we handle your data is in the Privacy Policy.

Your files and your rights to them

• Only import ebooks and audiobooks you have the right to use, such as files you bought DRM-free, made yourself, or that are in the public domain.
• TOMOTOMO does not remove, break or get around DRM or any other copy protection, and you may not use it to do so.
• Don’t use TOMOTOMO to share copies of books or audio you don’t have the right to share.

Imported files stay on your device. We never receive them. Some of what you make in the app is stored with your account so it syncs: highlights (including the highlighted text), notes and Notebook pages, Companion conversations, and pictures you make with Imagine. You keep whatever rights you have in all of it. You let us store, copy and process it only to run TOMOTOMO for you.

Copyright complaints and repeat infringers

We respect copyright and respond to notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. How to send one, and our designated agent, are on the Copyright page. When we get a valid notice about content stored with an account, we remove it or turn off access to it. In appropriate circumstances we close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright.

AI features

• Companion, Imagine, custom covers and PDF audio are optional. They send what the Privacy Policy describes to our server and to the AI providers we use.
• AI answers and pictures can be wrong, incomplete or odd. Don’t rely on them for anything important.
• Don’t use them to make content that is illegal, infringes someone else’s rights, or copies real people, films, shows or games. We may block requests that look like that.
• You are responsible for how you use what they make.

Tokens

Some AI features use tokens, bought in the app through Apple. Tokens let you use those features. They have no cash value, can’t be transferred or exchanged, and are only good in TOMOTOMO. Payment and refunds are handled by Apple under its terms. If a paid request fails after it was charged, the tokens go back to your balance. We may change what features cost; tokens you already have keep working.

Using TOMOTOMO fairly

• Don’t call our server outside the app, script it, or try to get around the free limits or payments.
• Don’t try to break into, overload or interfere with the app, the server or other people’s accounts.
• Don’t use TOMOTOMO for anything illegal.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.

Changes, and ending

TOMOTOMO is a small, young app. We may change, add or remove features, and we may stop offering the service. If we make a big change to these terms, we’ll update the date above and say so in the app or on this site first. You can stop using TOMOTOMO and delete your account in the app at any time.

No warranty, and limits on liability

TOMOTOMO is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, as far as the law allows. We don’t promise it will always work, be error-free or keep every file, highlight or setting. Keep your own copies of anything that matters to you.

As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for lost data. Our total liability for any claim about TOMOTOMO is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, apart from its conflict-of-law rules, unless the law where you live says otherwise.
