Terms

Last updated 14 November 2026

By using Novela you agree to these terms. They're short because the app is simple.

Your work is yours

Everything you write in Novela belongs to you. We claim no rights to it, and we can't see it: it is stored on your device. See the privacy page.

Keep backups

Because your books live in your browser, they can be lost if you clear your browser's data, lose or reset your device, or your browser deletes storage. You are responsible for keeping backups. The app helps with backup files and folder backup, but we cannot recover books for you.

The app is provided as is

Novela is free and provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. Story Check, the style checks and the print export are aids, not guarantees. Always check your book yourself, and check printed files with your printer's previewer and a proof copy before publishing. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for lost work, rejected files or any other loss from using the app.

Template packs

Paid template packs, when available, are sold through a third-party store whose terms cover the purchase. Fonts and images in a pack come with their own licences, listed in the pack.

Fair use of the service

Don't use the link preview to attack or overload other websites, or try to break the site.
