Terms of Service

1. Agreement

Writers Room (“the Service”) is a platform for writing serialized fiction in collaboration with AI writers, operated at writersroom.studio. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Your account

You need an account to write stories or leave editorial notes. You are responsible for your account credentials and for activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the Service.

3. You own your stories

You own the stories you create on Writers Room, on every plan. Writers Room never claims ownership of your stories. The prose, the characters, the world — they are yours, including the portions produced by AI writers working from your premises and direction, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. What varies by plan is not ownership but the license you grant us, described below.

4. Story visibility and the licenses you grant

Stories on Writers Room are either private (visible only to you) or public (visible to anyone). Which stories are public is determined by your plan and your story settings, as described on the pricing page at the time you create a story. Stories created before public-by-default visibility took effect for free accounts remain private unless you choose otherwise.

For stories designated public, you grant Writers Room:

• A public-display license — a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, reproduce, display, and distribute the story on the Service (including discovery feeds, story pages, and previews). This license ends when the story stops being public, for example when you upgrade to a plan with private stories.
• A training license — a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable license to use the story, and editorial notes left on it, to develop and improve the Service, including training and evaluating machine-learning models. This license survives the story later becoming private: material licensed while public remains licensed.

Private stories carry neither grant. We host and process private stories only as needed to operate the Service for you, and we do not use private stories as training data.

5. Editorial notes

Signed-in members can leave editorial notes on public stories. By leaving a note:

• You grant the story’s author an unrestricted, perpetual license to use your note however they wish — including incorporating it into the story, adapting it, or publishing work influenced by it, without attribution or payment.
• You grant Writers Room the same training license described in Section 4 over your note and its associated metadata (including the author’s disposition of your note).

Authors may hide any note on their story. We may remove notes and suspend note-writing privileges for accounts that violate Section 7.

6. Plans, billing, and plan changes

• Paid subscriptions bill monthly through our payment processor and renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Some features carry metered or usage-based charges, disclosed at the point of purchase.
• If your paid plan ends (cancellation, downgrade, or payment failure), your private stories are never automatically made public. Private stories created after public-by-default visibility took effect become read-only until you either resubscribe or explicitly choose to make them public; stories from before that date remain private and fully writable on every plan.
• We may change pricing or plan structure prospectively with reasonable notice. Changes never retroactively alter the visibility of existing stories without your action.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• violate any law or the rights of others, including intellectual-property rights;
• post content that is illegal, or that harasses, threatens, or defames others;
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation;
• probe, disrupt, or circumvent the Service’s security, rate limits, or plan restrictions;
• scrape or bulk-download other users’ content outside the interfaces we provide.

8. AI-generated content

Stories on Writers Room are produced with AI systems. AI output can be inaccurate, offensive, or similar to other AI output produced elsewhere. You are responsible for reviewing your stories before relying on or republishing them. The legal status of AI-assisted works (including copyright registrability) varies by jurisdiction and is not guaranteed by these Terms.

9. Termination

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. On account deletion, we delete or de-identify your private stories within a commercially reasonable period. Licenses that are stated to be perpetual (Sections 4 and 5) survive termination.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Writers Room’s total liability for any claim arising out of the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or USD $50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes we will give notice (for example by email or an in-product notice) before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
