Terms of Use

DraftProse is a writing tool published by Argonode Studio (“we,” “us,” “our”). These Terms govern your use of the DraftProse application, website, and any associated services (collectively, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms.

You are responsible for the email address tied to your account and for anyone who has access to it. We authenticate you via single-use email links; we do not use passwords. You must be at least 13 years old (or older if the law where you live requires it).

You own everything you write in DraftProse. We claim no copyright, no license to publish, no right to derivative works. The Service stores your manuscripts to display them back to you and to run the Reader on your request — nothing else. We do not train any model on your prose. We do not sell your prose. We will not let anyone else do so through us.

You retain the right to export everything you have written and to delete your account at any time, in which case we wipe your prose irrevocably.

When you click a Reader surface (pacing read, plot read, character voice workshop) we send the minimum required context to the provider you have chosen (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or your local endpoint). The exact text sent is visible to you via the inspect button on every read.

The Reader is a structural-analysis tool. It does not write your manuscript and never auto-inserts text into your document. We do not warrant the accuracy of any read, observation, or character-voice response. Treat its output as ideation, not advice.

When you bring your own provider key, your relationship with that provider is governed by their terms. We are not party to that relationship.

You agree not to use the Service to:

• infringe anyone else’s intellectual property;
• generate or store content that depicts the sexual exploitation of minors;
• harass, threaten, or defame any identifiable person;
• attempt to break, scrape, or overload the Service;
• impersonate someone you are not (real people, fictional or otherwise — the character voice workshop is for your own characters only).

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

The Free tier is free. Paid tiers (Studio, Pro) are billed monthly or annually. You can cancel at any time; access continues until the end of the current billing period. We do not auto-renew without notice. Refunds for unused time are at our discretion and on a case-by-case basis.

You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Account. Deletion is permanent. We may terminate your account if you violate these Terms; we will give reasonable notice except in cases of clear, serious abuse.

The Service is provided “as is.” To the maximum extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not promise the Service will be available at all times, free of bugs, or suitable for any particular publishing pipeline.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred United States dollars. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost manuscripts, lost royalties, lost opportunity, or distress arising from any unavailability or bug.

Your manuscript is precious. Back it up elsewhere too. We recommend git, Time Machine, or anywhere else you trust outside our control.

You agree to defend and indemnify us against any third-party claim arising from your content or your violation of these Terms. We will tell you promptly of any such claim and let you control the defence if you wish.

We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will notify you by email at the address on file at least thirty days before it takes effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you may delete your account.

[Governing law / jurisdiction to be specified by counsel. Likely one of: England & Wales, Delaware, or the jurisdiction where Argonode Studio is formally incorporated. Placeholder pending review.]
