Terms of service

Last updated November 10, 2026.

Seánra is a Seanachie product operated by Patrick Kubier ("we") in Oklahoma, USA. By uploading a file or buying a plan you agree to these terms.

How sorting works

Seánra uses a custom-built AI sorting system made specifically for genrefying school libraries. It combines our own sorting system, a third-party AI service and public library catalog data, and it is taught for this one job: every correction librarians send back is used to sort later lists better. Like any automated system it makes mistakes, which is why books it is less sure of are marked to check and the results are yours to review.

Free trial

Each uploaded list can have one free trial that sorts its first 50 titles. Trials are limited per network per day.

What you're buying

• One sort of one uploaded list into the genres you choose, delivered as an Excel file plus a shelving kit (shelf signs, spine labels, a pull list and catalog barcode files), under the plan you pick: Basic (up to 3,000 books, no revisions), Standard (up to 5,000 books, 1 revision) or Plus (up to 10,000 books, 5 revisions).
• A revision re-sorts the same uploaded list with an edited genre list. Revisions must be used within 30 days of purchase.
• Results are a starting point for your own judgment and are delivered as is. Some placements will be wrong; titles we're less sure of are marked to check.

Purchase orders

Schools and districts can pay by purchase order. We email an invoice (due in 30 days) to the billing contact you give, and sort your list right away. Need a W-9 or a vendor form? Email [email protected].

Refunds

If a sort fails or your file can't be processed because of a problem on our side, we'll fix it or refund you. Email [email protected] within 30 days. Otherwise, because the work is delivered once the sort finishes, purchases aren't refundable.

Your files

• You must have the right to share the file you upload. Don't upload student or patron information.
• You keep ownership of your file and results. You allow us to use the titles, authors and genre placements (never your file as a whole, your school's name or your account details) to improve future sorting.
• Without an account, files are deleted after 14 days. With an account, they're kept until you delete them or your account.

Accounts

Accounts are optional. Keep your password private. We may close accounts that are used to abuse the service.

Limits

The service is provided as is, without warranties. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the list in question. These terms are governed by the laws of Oklahoma, USA.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. Questions: [email protected].
