Welcome to Duplo! These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of Duplo, a digital bookshelf service provided by Shoshin Kaizen LLC ("we", "our", or "us"). By accessing or using Duplo, you agree to comply with these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the service.

2. Service Description

Duplo allows users to upload highlights and notes from e-reader devices like Kindle or Kobo and visually display their books. Users can search and browse through their uploaded content. The service is free to use, but premium features are available for a monthly subscription fee.

3. Premium Subscription

Users who subscribe to our premium plan gain access to premium features, including but not limited to: changing the cover images of books in their digital bookshelf, and AI-powered book recommendations with a monthly credit allowance.

AI Recommendations disclaimer: AI-generated recommendations are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. They are produced by third-party AI models and may contain inaccuracies. We do not guarantee the quality, relevance, or availability of any recommended titles. Recommendations do not constitute professional advice of any kind.

Upon cancellation: If your premium subscription is canceled, you will retain access to your bookshelf, any previously changed cover images, and any previously generated AI recommendations. However, you will no longer be able to change additional cover images or generate new AI recommendations.
