Writer updated its Terms of Service on June 5, 2026, clarifying the scope and governance structure of its service offerings. The previous version applied to individuals accessing the Platform and other services, with a separate Platform Services Agreement for organizational users. The updated terms now explicitly state these Terms apply to free, trial, and paid versions of the Platform (excluding Enterprise), while the Platform Services Agreement and Data Processing Agreement govern Enterprise versions and organizational use. The change also adds explicit language prohibiting account login sharing and clarifies that the DPA applies when users act on behalf of an organization.
Consumers: You cannot give your account username and password to another person.
Data controllers: If you use Writer's service for your organization, the data protection agreement automatically applies in addition to these standard terms.
The updated terms clarify which agreement governs different account types: free, trial, and paid individual accounts are covered by the standard Terms of Service, while Enterprise versions are governed by a separate Platform Services Agreement. The terms now explicitly state that account login credentials cannot be shared with other users. Additionally, when users act on behalf of an organization, the Data Processing Agreement is incorporated into the Terms. These changes primarily clarify existing governance structures rather than materially altering user obligations.
DPA is now explicitly incorporated when users act on behalf of an organization.
Users explicitly prohibited from sharing account login credentials.
