Inkroost Credits

Inkroost Credits are prepaid platform credits for creator tools only — such as AI page and cover generation and other Inkroost services.
Credits are not money, have no cash value, and cannot be transferred to another user or withdrawn or redeemed for cash.
Credits are not used to purchase manga and are not paid to creators. Reading on Inkroost does not require credits.
Some chapters may be supporter-only. Supporter access is provided through the creator's own third-party platform (for example, Patreon). Any subscription or payment for supporter access is between you and that third-party provider — not Inkroost — and access may depend on your status with that provider.
Inkroost does not operate a marketplace for manga and does not pay creators a share of credit purchases.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, and content, is owned by Inkroost.
You retain ownership of any content you upload to the Service.
By uploading content, you grant us a license to store, display, and process it as needed to provide the Service.

7. Data & Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

8. Availability & Warranties

We aim to provide the Service 24/7, but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free or meet your specific requirements.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Inkroost shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

10. Termination

You may delete your account at any time from your account settings.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.
We will delete your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or by displaying a notice in the application. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
