Terms of Service
Effective date: April 28, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using SoniqPen Studio ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
SoniqPen Studio provides tools to turn children's books and learning materials into interactive audio experiences compatible with audio pens like TipToi® and BOOKii®. The Service allows users to upload content, manage interactive regions, and export project files.
3. USER CONTENT RESPONSIBILITY
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CONTENT YOU UPLOAD TO THE SERVICE.
This includes PDFs, images, text, and audio recordings. SoniqPen Studio does not monitor, pre-screen, or endorse user-uploaded content. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:
- You have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to upload and process the content.
- The content does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party.
SoniqPen Studio assumes no liability for any copyright infringement or other legal issues arising from the content you upload.
4. Use of the Service
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You are prohibited from:
- Uploading any content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, or offensive.
- Attempting to interfere with the operation of the Service or its underlying infrastructure.
- Using the Service for unauthorized commercial purposes.
5. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its interface, logic, and underlying code, is the property of SoniqPen Studio and its creators. You retain ownership of the original content you upload, but you grant us a limited license to store and process that content solely to provide the Service to you.
6. Distribution, Organizations, and Library
SoniqPen Studio enables the creation of interactive digital project files ("Projects" or "Packs"), defined as any data or content that enables interactive playback with compatible devices. This includes, but is not limited to, project data, audio files, graphics, PDFs, and any other digital files associated with a Project.
Organizations and Access
Projects are created and managed within SoniqPen organizations (such as Family or School accounts). Access is limited to members explicitly invited by other members of that organization through the Service. Members may view or edit Projects based on assigned permissions.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and ensuring that access to Projects is limited to members of your organization.
Library
SoniqPen provides a marketplace ("Library") where users can publish Projects as Packs, making them available to other users, either free or paid, at the creator’s choice.
Once a Project is published as a Pack, it can be accessed by other users through the Library. Links to Packs may be freely shared. Free Packs can be accessed by any user at no cost through the Library.
No commission is charged for free Packs. For paid Packs, SoniqPen charges a commission on each transaction. Commission rates, payment terms, and payout conditions may be defined and updated separately.
Digital Distribution
Distribution of Projects outside your organization is permitted only through the SoniqPen Library.
You may not share, transfer, sublicense, sell, or otherwise make Projects or any associated digital files (including PDFs, audio files, graphics, project data, or pen configuration files) available outside the SoniqPen platform, whether for free or for commercial purposes.
Printed Materials
You may print and distribute physical materials generated from your Projects in unlimited quantities, including for personal, educational, or commercial use.
Printed materials may include references or links to Packs in the SoniqPen Library. To enable proper use, include a link to the corresponding Pack so users can download it from the Library, where it is configured for their printer and device.
Content Reuse
Projects published in the Library may not be copied, modified, or republished by other users unless explicitly permitted by the original creator. To obtain editable access, you must contact the creator, who may choose to provide a copy of the Project to your organization through the SoniqPen platform.
7. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms of Service.
8. Disclaimer of Warranty
SoniqPen Studio is provided "as is" and "as available," without any warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or meet all your requirements.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SoniqPen Studio and its creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service or any content uploaded by users.
