Asvara Labs

Maki Reader — Terms of Service

Effective date: August 20, 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Asvara Labs LLC ("Asvara Labs", "we", "us"), a limited liability company organized in the State of Wyoming, United States, with its registered address at 1021 E Lincolnway, Cheyenne, WY 82001.

They govern your use of Maki Reader, our EPUB and PDF reading application for Android and iOS, together with the optional online features it can connect to (collectively, the "App"). By installing or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms supplement, and for the App prevail over, the general Asvara Labs Terms of Service where the two differ.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction to consent to the use of online services, to use the App. If you use the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind it to these Terms.

3. Licence to use the App

Subject to these Terms, Asvara Labs grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial reading. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You may not copy, sell, sublicense, rent, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law, nor remove or alter any proprietary notices.

4. Accounts are optional

Reading with the App requires no account and no network connection. If you choose to sign in with Google to use the optional connected features, you are responsible for maintaining the security of the Google account you use, and for all activity that occurs under it. We may suspend or terminate access to connected features for accounts used in breach of these Terms.

5. Your content and your books

You retain all rights to the books, documents, highlights, notes, and other content you import or create in the App ("Your Content"). Asvara Labs claims no ownership over Your Content.

You are solely responsible for Your Content, including for having the necessary rights to the files you import. You agree not to use the App to store or process material that infringes copyright or other rights, or that is unlawful in your jurisdiction.

Your Content stays on your device unless you enable the optional Google Drive sync described in section 6. Asvara Labs does not host your library.

6. Optional sync through your Google Drive

If you enable sync, the App stores your reading positions and annotations in the private application data folder of your own Google Drive account, using the drive.appdata scope requested at the moment you enable the feature. That data is held by Google under your agreement with Google, not by Asvara Labs.

Sync depends on the availability of Google's services and on your account's storage quota. Asvara Labs is not responsible for loss, corruption, or unavailability of data stored in your Google Drive. You remain responsible for keeping your own backups of important files.

7. Connected features and entitlements

The App offers optional connected features, currently dictionary lookups and AI-generated illustrations, served by reader-api.asvaralabs.com. These features are capability-gated: whether your account may use a given feature is determined server-side.

AI generation consumes entitlements that must be granted to your account server-side. You will not be charged for AI usage without entitlements having been granted, and the App does not make purchases on your behalf. Where entitlements are sold, the applicable price, quantity, and refund terms will be presented to you before purchase.

Connected features are provided on an as-available basis. We may change, limit, suspend, or discontinue any connected feature, including any usage quota, at any time. The offline reading functionality of the App does not depend on them.

8. AI-generated output

Output produced by AI features may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for a given purpose, and similar output may be generated for other users. It is provided for personal, illustrative use in connection with your reading. You should not rely on AI output as professional advice, and you are responsible for how you use it.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law;
  • interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to our servers or systems;
  • circumvent capability gating, entitlement checks, rate limits, or authentication;
  • use automated means to access connected features other than through the App;
  • use the App to infringe intellectual property rights of others.

10. Third-party services

The App interacts with third-party services, including Google Sign-In, Google Drive, and the app store from which you obtained it. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Asvara Labs is not responsible for third-party services.

Where the App is obtained through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the applicable store's terms also apply. Apple and Google are not parties to these Terms and have no obligation to provide support for the App.

11. Privacy

Our handling of information in the App is described in the Maki Reader Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

12. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that it will render every file correctly.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ASVARA LABS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR USD 50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, in which case the above applies to the fullest extent permitted.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Asvara Labs LLC and its officers, members, and employees from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the App, or your violation of any law or third-party right, including in relation to Your Content.

15. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access to connected features at any time if you breach these Terms or if required by law. Sections 5, 8, 12, 13, 14, and 16 survive termination.

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The courts of the State of Wyoming, Laramie County, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute arising in connection with these Terms, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rights you may have in your country of residence.

17. Changes to these terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. The updated version is indicated by the effective date at the top of this page and takes effect when posted. Your continued use of the App after that date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
