Scope and operator
These draft terms describe use of LeafRead, a personal browser reader at leafread.io with optional read-aloud. Operator registration details, governing law and dispute arrangements are pending completion before public commercial release. Support is available through support@leafread.io.
Your account
Provide accurate account details and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity you authorize on your account. Do not share credentials, bypass an account restriction or create accounts to evade usage limits. Public registration may be restricted during development.
Your content and permissions
You retain the rights you already hold in your content. Import only material you are entitled to copy and process. LeafRead needs permission to store, extract, format and transmit that material to the services used for your requested reading and speech features. This permission does not grant LeafRead ownership of the underlying work.
Access to a book or article does not necessarily grant permission to redistribute it or its spoken version. A LeafRead account does not grant publishing, resale or commercial rights in third-party content or in a voice.
What the service provides
The current web version supports a private library, supported imports, reading controls and English sentence-level speech. Extraction, pronunciation and reading order can be imperfect. Check the source when accuracy matters. LeafRead does not provide medical advice, treatment, voice cloning or voice design.
Limits, availability and changes
Allowances and supported formats are listed in Reading help and Read aloud. Early-access features and technical limits may change. Do not rely on LeafRead as your only copy of important material or as an uninterrupted service. Recovery and backup procedures for public production use are still being completed.
Free access
LeafRead is free to use, including reading, your personal library and text-to-speech within the daily allowance.
Fair use
The fair-use rules on our Acceptable use page form part of these terms and apply to both the website and the iOS app. Free personal reading includes 350,000 newly generated characters per account per UTC day; saved audio does not use that generation allowance. Using your full allowance for genuine personal reading is permitted.
Restrictions and concerns
Access may be limited where there is misuse, a security risk or a rights complaint. Restrictions may apply to the whole account or only to speech. Contact support to explain a concern or request review; do not attempt to bypass the restriction.
Mandatory rights
Nothing in this draft is intended to remove rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded. Jurisdiction-specific terms, responsibility limits and complaint arrangements must be finalized before commercial release.
