Companies change their terms without announcing it. We capture governance documents, compare each new version with the last, and publish what changed, with the source text behind it. One email a week on what we found and what we could not reach.
This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Writer's terms set the rules for using its AI writing platform: you agree that any dispute goes to individual arbitration only — no class actions — under California law in San Francisco. Payments are non-refundable, subscriptions renew automatically at whatever Writer's current price is when renewal occurs, and Writer's total financial liability to you for any claim is capped at $100. If you deploy Writer in a product, you must make clear to your users that they are interacting with an AI, not a human.
This document establishes the terms under which Writer provides its services, setting out a framework of user obligations, intellectual property restrictions, payment terms, and liability limitations. Users are prohibited from using the services for competitive intelligence, benchmarking, or AI training of rival products, and from reverse engineering any component of the platform. Liability of the Writer Parties is capped at $100 in aggregate for all claims, with broad exclusions covering indirect, consequential, and business-loss damages, and services are provided strictly on an 'as is' basis with all warranties disclaimed to the extent permitted by law. Disputes must be resolved through mandatory individual arbitration under JAMS rules, with class and representative proceedings expressly prohibited, and governed exclusively by California law in courts located in San Francisco, California. Paid subscriptions auto-renew at then-current rates, payments are non-refundable for partial periods or unused services, and users deploying Writer-powered interactions bear an affirmative obligation to disclose to end users that they are interacting with an AI.
As a Writer user, you give up the right to a court trial and the ability to join a class action; every dispute you have with Writer must be pursued individually through JAMS arbitration in California. If you pay for a subscription, charges recur automatically at Writer's then-current rates and are non-refundable for unused time, so you should cancel before your renewal date using the cancellation method described in the agreement to stop future charges. If you access Writer through an employer or organization, that organization's administrator may be able to monitor and control your account. Writer makes no warranties about the quality or reliability of its services, and the most it will ever owe you for any harm is $100.
