These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Sauthy website, applications, and services (together, “Sauthy” or the “Service”). Please read them carefully. By creating an account, accessing, or using Sauthy, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Sauthy.
Sauthy (“Sauthy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a service operated by DoctorDale Agency LLC, a Texas limited liability company. Throughout these Terms, the website, applications, tools, and services are referred to simply as “Sauthy.”
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use Sauthy. By using Sauthy you represent that you meet these requirements. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for all activity that occurs under your account, and for keeping your sign-in credentials and access secure. You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts at our discretion as described in these Terms.
Sauthy is a software tool that helps you organize your expertise, draft and design a manuscript, generate optional images and other materials, and build an author or speaker profile. Sauthy is a self-service technology product only.
Sauthy is not a publisher, literary agent, marketing agency, ghostwriter, accountant, financial advisor, medical or healthcare provider, or law firm, and using Sauthy does not create any agency, partnership, employment, fiduciary, or professional-client relationship between you and Sauthy. Sauthy does not review, edit, fact-check, vet, endorse, or approve the books, profiles, claims, or other content you create, and does not publish your work for you. You alone decide what to write, what to publish, and where.
Sauthy uses third-party artificial intelligence systems to help generate text, images, suggestions, and other outputs based on the information you provide. AI output is produced automatically and you understand and agree that:
“Your Content” means the materials you upload, enter, or generate using Sauthy, including interview answers, uploaded documents, drafts, images, profiles, and finished books. As between you and Sauthy, you retain whatever ownership rights you have in Your Content.
You grant Sauthy a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, transmit, display, and adapt Your Content solely to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service (including sending it to the third-party providers that power features such as AI generation, payments, email, and hosting). Where you make a profile or other material public through Sauthy, you grant the additional rights needed to display it publicly.
You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to provide Your Content and to grant the licenses above, and that Your Content and your use of Sauthy do not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights, or any law. You are solely responsible for Your Content, including its accuracy, legality, and any consequences of publishing or distributing it.
Sauthy may let you export your work or connect with third-party platforms (for example, print-on-demand, e-book, or distribution services such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing). Those platforms are independent and are governed by their own terms and policies. Sauthy does not control them and is not responsible for them, their availability, their requirements, their review or rejection of your work, their fees, or your relationship with them.
You are solely responsible for complying with the terms, content guidelines, formatting standards, and legal requirements of any platform you use, and for everything contained in any book or material you publish, including its content, claims, sources, permissions, and rights clearances.
Sauthy provides tools, not outcomes. We make no promise or guarantee that using Sauthy will result in a completed or publishable book, any particular quality of work, any book sales, revenue, income, audience, speaking engagements, clients, credibility, ranking, or any other result. Any examples, figures, or testimonials are illustrative only and are not a guarantee of your experience.
You agree not to use Sauthy to create, upload, generate, or distribute content or to take any action that:
We may investigate and take any action we consider appropriate, including removing content and suspending or terminating accounts.
Certain features require a paid plan or the use of credits. Prices, plan features, and credit allowances are described at the point of purchase and may change. Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor; by purchasing, you also agree to that processor’s terms, and you authorize the applicable charges. Unless otherwise required by law or expressly stated by us in writing, all fees and credit purchases are non-refundable, and credits have no cash value and may expire. Taxes are your responsibility where applicable. If we change recurring pricing, we will provide notice as required by law.
Sauthy relies on and integrates third-party services, including AI providers, payment processing, email delivery, hosting, and storage. Your use of features powered by these providers may be subject to their terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for third-party services, their acts or omissions, or any loss arising from them.
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the “Sauthy” name and branding, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted to you to use the Service, no rights are transferred to you. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works of the Service except as permitted by these Terms.
If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use it for any purpose without obligation to you.
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT AND OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SAUTHY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. SAUTHY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, ORIGINAL, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSES. YOU USE THE SERVICE AND ANY OUTPUT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SAUTHY AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, OR PUBLISHING OR REPUTATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT WILL SAUTHY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO SAUTHY IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Sauthy and its owners, members, officers, employees, contractors, and suppliers from and against any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content; (b) any book, profile, or material you create, publish, or distribute; (c) your use of the Service; (d) your violation of these Terms or any law; or (e) your violation of any third-party right or third-party service’s terms.
You may stop using Sauthy at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or to protect the Service or others. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above, and material changes may be communicated through the Service. Your continued use of Sauthy after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
Arbitration. Except for claims that qualify for small-claims court and except for requests for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property, any dispute that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its applicable rules, with the arbitration seated in the State of Texas. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If arbitration is found not to apply, the dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue.
CLASS-ACTION AND JURY WAIVER. YOU AND SAUTHY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU AND SAUTHY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Sauthy regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them freely. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Notices to you may be provided through the Service or by email.
Questions about these Terms can be sent to support@sauthy.com.
You may request deletion of your Sauthy account and the personal information associated with it. This section explains how to make that request and what deletion generally involves.
Sauthy does not currently offer a self-service, in-product account-deletion button. To request deletion, contact us at support@sauthy.com using the support process described in these Terms. If an in-product account-deletion option is available to you within Sauthy, you may also use that option to start the request.
So we can locate and verify your account, please include enough information to identify it — for example, the email address associated with your account. Please do not send your password, one-time or authentication codes, or full payment card or other sensitive financial information. To protect your account, we may need to verify that you are the account owner before completing the deletion.
After we verify your request, we will delete or de-identify the account information and user-created content associated with your account that we are not required to retain for the purposes described below. Where applicable, this generally includes:
If you used Facebook to sign in, you can remove Sauthy from Facebook at any time through Facebook’s Settings & privacy → Settings → Apps and websites. Removing the connection stops future Facebook-based access to Sauthy, but it does not by itself delete your Sauthy account or the information Sauthy holds. To delete your Sauthy account and the information held by Sauthy, you must also submit a deletion request to us as described above.
Some limited information may be retained when reasonably necessary for legal or regulatory obligations; payment, tax, or accounting records; fraud prevention; security; dispute resolution; enforcing our agreements; or completing our normal backup-retention cycles. Retained information remains protected and is not used for unrelated purposes. Deletion may not be immediately reflected in encrypted backups; backup copies are removed in the ordinary course according to our normal backup-retention process.
Deleting your account does not by itself create a refund, and, as described in Section 9, fees and credit purchases are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated by us in writing. If you have an active subscription, you should cancel it through the applicable billing process. A deletion request does not remove billing or transaction records that we are required to keep.
