Novelust is a companion app that assembles a visual “kit” for books you’re reading: character casting, place photos, and mood boards, sourced from third-party services and public data. Novelust is an independent fan/reader tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any book’s author, publisher, or rights holder.

2. Accounts

You need an account to save books and personalize your visual kits. You’re responsible for the activity that happens under your account and for keeping your login credentials secure. Let us know right away if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any third party’s rights.

  • Attempt to scrape, reverse-engineer, or disrupt the Service.
  • Use automated means to access the Service without our permission.

4. Content and third-party sources

Book metadata, actor photos, and images displayed in the Service are sourced from third parties, including Google Books, TMDB, and Unsplash, and are subject to those providers’ own licenses and terms.

We don’t claim ownership over third-party content displayed in the Service and display it for personal, non-commercial reference use only.
