Subscription Policy

EBOKIO Effective Date: 12 July 2026 Last Updated: 12 July 2026 Version: 1.0

Company: EBOKIO LTD, a private limited company registered in England and Wales

Applies to: publishing.ebokio.com (the publisher portal) and related services operated by EBOKIO LTD

This EBOKIO Subscription Policy (Publishing) (this “Policy”) sets out the terms of the Free, Premium, and Pro subscription plans for Publisher Accounts on the EBOKIO publishing platform, including the plan fees, the royalty rate applicable to each plan, the monthly AI Tool allowances, the publishing and author-profile limits, and the rules on billing, cancellation, downgrade, non-payment, and changes to plans.

This Policy forms part of, and must be read together with, the EBOKIO Publisher Agreement and the EBOKIO Terms of Service. Capitalised terms used but not defined in this Policy have the meanings given to them in the Publisher Agreement and the Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and the Publisher Agreement in respect of the publisher subscription plans, this Policy prevails for that subject matter.

This Policy applies to publisher/seller subscriptions only. The EBOKIO Plus subscription for readers is governed separately by clause 10.8 of the EBOKIO Terms of Service and the EBOKIO Household Terms.

1. The Subscription Plans

EBOKIO offers Publisher Accounts on three subscription plans — Free, Premium, and Pro. The plan you choose determines your royalty rate, your publishing limit, your monthly allowance of AI Tools, the number of cover variations available to you, and the number of author profiles you may maintain, as summarised in the table below. The plan on which your account is held from time to time is shown in your Publisher Account dashboard.

2. Fees and Billing

2.1 The Free Plan has no subscription fee. The Premium Plan and the Pro Plan are paid plans, and each is available on either a monthly or an annual billing period, which you select at checkout. All fees are payable plus any applicable taxes shown at checkout.

2.2 The subscription fees for the paid plans are: the Premium Plan — £13.99 per month, or £139.90 per year; and the Pro Plan — £19.99 per month, or £199.90 per year. The annual fee is charged as a single payment covering a twelve (12) month period and is lower than the total of twelve monthly payments for the same plan.

2.3 Paid subscription fees are billed in advance for the billing period you have selected (monthly or annual) and renew automatically at the start of each new billing period until you cancel. Where required by applicable law, EBOKIO will remind you before a renewal.

2.4 When you subscribe to a paid plan, you authorise EBOKIO and its payment processors to charge your saved payment method automatically for the applicable fees as they fall due, until the subscription or your authorisation is cancelled. Saved payment methods, card storage, and recurring billing are handled as described in clause 10.7 of the EBOKIO Terms of Service.

3. Royalty Rate per Plan

3.1 For each paid sale of a Work to a customer through the Platform, your royalty is a percentage of the Net Receipts for that sale determined by your Subscription Plan at the time of the sale: seventy per cent (70%) on the Free Plan, eighty per cent (80%) on the Premium Plan, and ninety per cent (90%) on the Pro Plan. EBOKIO retains the remaining Net Receipts as its platform commission, being thirty per cent (30%), twenty per cent (20%), and ten per cent (10%) respectively.

3.2 Your current plan and royalty rate are shown in your Publisher Account dashboard. If your plan changes (including a move to the Free Plan under clause 7), the new rate applies to sales occurring after the change takes effect. The royalty rate is fixed by the plan in effect at the time of each sale and does not change retroactively.

3.3 Royalties are calculated on Net Receipts as defined in the Publisher Agreement, and are paid out in accordance with clause 7.4 (Payouts) of the Publisher Agreement. Any further tiered, promotional, or future changes to these percentages will be notified to you in your Publisher Account dashboard and will take effect in accordance with the amendments procedure in the EBOKIO Terms of Service.

4. Publishing and Author-Profile Limits

4.1 On the Free Plan you may have up to thirty (30) published Works and one (1) author profile. The Premium Plan allows an unlimited number of published Works and up to ten (10) author profiles, and the Pro Plan allows an unlimited number of published Works and an unlimited number of author profiles.

4.2 Holding several author profiles or pen names within your single Publisher Account is permitted in accordance with your Subscription Plan and does not amount to holding multiple accounts (see clause 4.4 of the Publisher Agreement).

4.3 The number of cover variations available per cover is one (1) on the Free Plan, up to two (2) on the Premium Plan, and up to four (4) on the Pro Plan.

5. AI Tool Allowances

5.1 The AI Cover generator and the AI Metadata Autofill tool are optional features subject to the monthly usage limits shown in the table in clause 1. The AI Metadata Autofill tool includes the AI Author Co-pilot, and each interaction with the Author Co-pilot counts as one use of your AI Metadata Autofill allowance; the Author Co-pilot is not a separate feature with its own allowance.

5.2 The Writing Studio is a book-planning workspace available on the Premium and Pro Plans only; it is not included in the Free Plan. It allows you to build a story bible (including characters and locations, a relationship map, and an act or chapter outline) and to set writing goals, and it includes Muse, an AI brainstorming assistant grounded in your story bible. Your use of the Writing Studio is subject to the monthly allowances shown in the table in clause 1: each interaction with Muse counts as one assist, and each character portrait you generate counts as one portrait.

5.3 AI Tool allowances are monthly allowances. They reset at the start of each month of your subscription, whether you are billed monthly or annually, and any unused allowance does not carry over to a later month.

5.4 Covers, character portraits, images, metadata, outlines, and other text or material generated using the AI Tools (including the AI Author Co-pilot and Muse) are made available for you to use in connection with your Works. They are provided on an “as is” basis, without any warranty of any kind, including no warranty that they are original or free from third-party rights. You remain solely responsible for ensuring that every Work, cover, image, and item of metadata you publish complies with the EBOKIO Content Policy (including its AI-disclosure requirements) and does not infringe any third-party right.

6. Cancellation

6.1 You may cancel a paid Subscription Plan at any time from your Publisher Account dashboard, and cancellation will be at least as easy as signing up.

6.2 Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period for which you have already paid — the current month if you are billed monthly, or the current twelve (12) month period if you are billed annually — after which your account moves to the Free Plan. Except where required by applicable law, subscription fees already paid are non-refundable for the remainder of the paid period.

7. Plan Downgrade, Non-Payment, and Retention of Content

7.1 If you cancel a paid Subscription Plan, if it lapses, or if a renewal payment fails and is not resolved within a reasonable period, your Publisher Account will move to the Free Plan. When your account moves to the Free Plan:

(a) your royalty rate reverts to seventy per cent (70%) of Net Receipts for sales occurring after the change takes effect, and your AI Tool allowances, cover variations, and author-profile limits revert to Free Plan levels;

(b) you keep all Works you have already published — they remain listed and available for sale — and you keep your existing author profiles. Nothing in this clause removes your Works or closes your account by reason only of the move to the Free Plan;

(c) the Free Plan’s thirty (30) published-Work limit applies only to the publishing of new Works. Where you already hold more than thirty (30) published Works, those Works remain available, but you will not be able to publish additional Works until your number of published Works falls below the limit or you upgrade to a paid plan again; and

(d) you keep the story bibles, outlines, and other Writing Studio content you have already created, and you may continue to view and export it; however, the Writing Studio is not included in the Free Plan, so you will not be able to use Muse, generate character portraits, or create new Writing Studio content until you upgrade to a paid plan again; and

(e) Buyers who have already purchased your Works are not affected and continue to enjoy the rights described in clause 14.4 of the Publisher Agreement.

7.2 Your ownership of your Works, and your continued access to Works you have already published and to your author profiles, do not depend on any paid Subscription Plan and are not affected by a move to the Free Plan or by non-payment of subscription fees.

8. Changes to Plans

8.1 EBOKIO may change plan features, allowances, or fees in accordance with the amendments procedure in the EBOKIO Terms of Service and clause 15 of the Publisher Agreement. Any change to recurring subscription fees will take effect from your next renewal, and EBOKIO will give you advance notice and an opportunity to cancel before the change takes effect.

9. Relationship with Other EBOKIO Policies

9.1 This Policy forms part of the EBOKIO Publisher Agreement and must be read together with it and with the EBOKIO Terms of Service.

9.2 Payouts of accrued royalties, including the available withdrawal methods and the minimum payout thresholds, are governed by clause 7.4 of the Publisher Agreement.

9.3 Customer refunds, cancellations, and remedies for Works purchased by readers are governed by the EBOKIO Refund and Returns Policy. This Policy governs only your publisher subscription with EBOKIO.

9.4 Saved payment methods, card storage, and recurring billing are governed by clause 10.7 of the EBOKIO Terms of Service.

10. Governing Law

10.1 This Policy and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer rights that apply under the laws of your country of residence. Nothing in this Policy excludes or limits any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted under applicable law.
