Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Yarn (“Yarn,” “we,” “us”) governing your use of writewithyarn.com and the related writing service (the “Service”). By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the consent of a parent or guardian. The Service is not directed to children under 13.

Yarn is a private place to write a story and to keep people, places, and notes beside it. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We do not promise that the Service will be available without interruption, or that a draft will never be lost. You are responsible for keeping copies of work that matters to you.

You may sign up with an email address and password, or with Google. You are responsible for the activity on your account and for keeping your sign-in method secure. Tell us promptly at hello@writewithyarn.com if you believe your account has been compromised. We may refuse, suspend, or close an account that violates these Terms or that we reasonably believe poses a risk to the Service or to other people.

You retain ownership of the text, images, and other material you submit to the Service (“Your Content”). Yarn does not claim ownership of Your Content.

You grant Yarn a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, and display Your Content only as needed to operate the Service for you — for example, to save a manuscript and show it back to you when you are signed in. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from the Service, except for copies kept in routine backups for a limited time.

You represent that you have the rights needed to submit Your Content, and that Your Content does not violate the law or anyone else’s rights.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
• Upload content that infringes another person’s intellectual property or privacy.
• Attempt to access another writer’s account, shelf, or private files.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without our permission.
• Interfere with the Service, or impose an unreasonable load on it.
• Use the Service to send spam or to distribute malware.

Sign-in, storage, hosting, and email depend on third-party services, including Google, Supabase, Vercel, and Resend. Your use of a third-party sign-in method is also subject to that provider’s terms. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YARN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, OR THAT YOUR CONTENT WILL NOT BE LOST.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YARN AND ITS OPERATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR MANUSCRIPTS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YARN’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID YARN FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive — including ownership of Your Content, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law — will survive termination.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date above. If a change is material, we will provide a more prominent notice, such as a note in the Service or an email. If you continue to use the Service after the update, you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. The courts located in the United States have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of these Terms or the Service, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Yarn waive any right to a jury trial to the extent permitted by law.
