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
“all disputes must be brought on an individual basis only, and may not be brought as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.”
“If we are unable to resolve potential disputes informally, to the extent legally permitted, the parties agree to proceed with mandatory arbitration, which the parties agree will be conducted under the rules of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated”
“to access the Services or our confidential information for benchmarking or competitive analysis or to develop, train, re-train, fine-tune, test, or improve a product or service that competes with the Services”
“IN NO EVENT WILL THE WRITER PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOSS OF GOODWILL, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES...”
“to reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, translate, decode, scrape, or otherwise attempt to derive or improperly access or download any component of the Services (including through data or model scraping or the use of any crawler or other mechanism)”
“the organization's administrator may be able to monitor and control your account, and you may be subject to additional terms and conditions depending on the type of access granted to that organization.”
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.
