Terms of Service

Last updated: August 12, 2026

Welcome to Inkwood ("Inkwood," "we," "our," or "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Inkwood application and related website (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the authority to agree to these Terms.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law.

3. Use of the Service

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial writing and related creative work. You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or related systems;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service;
• Upload content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable; or
• Use the Service to send spam, malware, or otherwise disrupt other users' experience.

4. Your Content

You retain all rights to the content you create, write, or upload to the Service ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and transmit Your Content solely as necessary to provide the Service to you.

The Service is designed to be offline-first. Your Content is primarily stored locally on your device, and may be synchronized or transmitted to third-party services (including artificial intelligence providers) only when you choose to use those features.

5. Third-Party Services

The Service may integrate with third-party services, including artificial intelligence providers and authentication providers. Your use of such third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content, functionality, or practices of third-party services. When you connect your own API keys or accounts, you are responsible for how those credentials are used.

6. Beta Software

The Service is provided in beta and may contain bugs, errors, or incomplete features. The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. You acknowledge that the Service may change, including paid pricing, features, or availability, at any time. We may not be able to prevent data loss — you are solely responsible for backing up your content.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, and content (other than Your Content), is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Service without our prior written consent.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that defects will be corrected.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service. Our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Inkwood and its operators, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if we determine it is necessary to protect the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately; you may still access your locally stored content, but features that depend on the Service may stop working.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
