Terms of Use
The short version: CoverSlay is a design tool. What you make with it is yours to sell with. What you upload stays yours. Don't use it with other people's art or for anything unlawful. Here is the same thing, spelled out.
1. What CoverSlay is
CoverSlay (and PosterSlay, its movie-poster studio) is a book cover and poster design service from Script Novel Publishing, LLC. This page is the preview build: the studio on it is free to try, and paid plans, user accounts and AI background generation are not live yet. Nothing on this page charges you anything. When paid features launch, we will say so clearly on this page, and these terms will be updated before anything goes on sale.
2. Your designs and your uploads
Words, photos, artwork and other material you bring to CoverSlay remain your property. You give us permission to handle that material only as needed to run the tool for you — in this preview, your uploads are processed in your own browser and used only in your design, in your tab. Only upload material you own or have the right to use.
3. What you may do with your finished covers
A cover or poster you finish and export is yours to use commercially: sell books and films with it, print it, and use it in your ads, listings and social posts, with no royalty or extra license fee owed to us. This covers exports built from templates, from the built-in art library, from your own uploads, and — at launch — from AI background art generated for you. It does not transfer ownership of the CoverSlay software, its templates or its art library themselves.
4. AI background art (launch feature)
When AI generation launches, it paints background art only. It never writes your title, author name or credits — those are real typography you type and control. Background art generated from your description is licensed to you for commercial use in your covers, posters and related marketing, as described above. AI output can contain mistakes; check your finished design carefully before you print or publish.
The AI Library. Some backgrounds in the studio are marked ✦. That art was generated with AI by CoverSlay and stocked in the library for everyone to build with. Every subscriber on a paid plan receives a commercial license to use AI Library art in the covers and posters they create here, including on books and films they sell, for any design exported while the plan is active. The license covers the finished design; the raw artwork itself may not be extracted, resold or redistributed as standalone stock. Free accounts may use AI Library art in drafts and mockups; commercial use requires a paid plan.
5. Print files and proofing
CoverSlay calculates print wraps (trim, spine, bleed, resolution) from the numbers you enter, using the printers' published paper specs. That math is only as good as the page count, trim and paper you give it. You are responsible for proofing the final file — including running the printer's own previewer at KDP or IngramSpark — before publishing or printing.
6. Fair use of the service
- Don't upload or create material that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark or rights.
- Don't use CoverSlay for unlawful, deceptive or harmful content.
- Don't try to break, overload or reverse-engineer the service itself.
7. Paid plans
Prices shown on this page are planned launch pricing and may change before launch; nothing is for sale in this preview. When paid plans launch, generation counts, pack rules and the refund policy on this page will describe exactly what a purchase includes before you pay.
8. Availability and liability
We work to keep CoverSlay available and its exports correct, but the service is provided as-is: we can't promise it will never be interrupted, and to the extent the law allows, our liability for problems with the service is limited to what you paid us for it. Files you export are stored by you, on your own computer — keep your own copies.
9. Changes and contact
If these terms change in a way that matters, we'll post the new version here with a new date before it applies to new purchases. Questions: email support@scriptnovelpublishing.com.
