Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: June 13, 2026

Inkbreaker is operated by Spiffai LLC ("Spiffai," "we," "us," or "our").

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Inkbreaker (the "Platform"), operated by Spiffai, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of these Terms.

2. Eligibility

Inkbreaker is an adult platform intended solely for adults. We never intend to provide the Platform to, or to collect information from, anyone who is not a legal adult. You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to register for or use the Platform. As part of sign-up, we collect your date of birth as an age gate, and accounts indicating an age under 18 are not permitted. By registering, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that the date of birth and other information you provide are true and accurate. We rely on the information you provide, and to the fullest extent permitted by law we are not responsible or liable for any person who accesses or attempts to access the Platform by providing false, inaccurate, or misleading age or identity information. Misrepresenting your age is a violation of these Terms: any account found to belong to, or to have been created by, a person under 18 will be suspended or terminated, and we reserve the right to terminate the account of any user who misrepresents their age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has created an account, please contact us immediately at support@spiffai.com and we will remove it.

3. User Accounts

To access certain features, you must create an account via an authorized sign-in method (email and password, or an OAuth provider such as Google or Discord). You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. You agree to notify us immediately at support@spiffai.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account credentials.

4. Your Content and the License You Grant Us

Your work is yours. You keep full ownership of everything you create, upload, or publish on Inkbreaker, including your writing, comments, feedback, and images ("User Content"), and nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of your work to us. So that we can show and store your work the way you intend, you give us permission (a non-exclusive license) to host, store, back up, display, and share your User Content only as needed to run Inkbreaker and deliver your work to the people you choose. That covers saving your drafts, rendering your published pieces, generating covers and previews, and sending your work to the readers, collaborators, and feedback partners you select. Because the internet is global and we use service providers (for example, our hosting and image-delivery providers) to operate the Platform, this permission extends to those providers for that purpose only. We do not claim ownership of your work, we do not sell your work or your personal data, and we never use your writing or images (and never allow anyone else to use them) to train AI models. This permission lasts only while your content is on Inkbreaker: it ends when you delete the content or your account, apart from copies other users may have already saved or routine backups kept briefly or as the law requires. You confirm that the work you post is your own or that you have the rights to share it, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

5. Protection of Creative Work

We take the protection of writers' work seriously. You may not copy, repost, redistribute, or claim authorship of another user's work without their permission. Plagiarism, the passing off of another person's writing as your own, and the unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted material are prohibited and may result in removal of content and account termination. You may not use automated means (including bots, scrapers, crawlers, or harvesting tools) to copy, collect, or reproduce other users' work, and you may not use the Platform or its content to develop, train, or improve any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence model. Drafts and unpublished work that another user shares with you privately for collaboration, beta reading, or critique are shared in confidence; you may not republish, distribute, or otherwise use that work beyond the purpose for which it was shared. If you believe your work has been copied or misused on the Platform, contact us at support@spiffai.com and we will review and take appropriate action, which may include removing the content and acting against the responsible account.

6. Images and Uploaded Media

When you upload an image or other media to the Platform (for example, a profile picture, cover image, or illustration), you represent and warrant that you own the media or have all rights and permissions necessary to upload it and to grant the license in Section 4. You may not upload media that infringes the copyright, trademark, publicity, or privacy rights of others; that depicts an identifiable real person without their consent; that was generated in violation of a third party's rights; or that is unlawful, sexually exploitative of minors, or otherwise prohibited under these Terms. Uploaded images are delivered and stored through our content-delivery provider; we store a reference to the image and related metadata rather than retaining the original file on our own servers. We may remove any media that violates these Terms or that is the subject of a valid infringement report, and we may report unlawful media to the appropriate authorities.

7. Our Intellectual Property

The Platform and all its components, including but not limited to software, design, graphics, branding, and features (excluding User Content), are the exclusive property of Spiffai and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works of any part of the Platform without our express written consent.

8. Copyright Complaints and Takedown (DMCA)

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you believe that content on the Platform infringes a copyright you own or control, please send a written notice to our designated copyright agent (see contact below) that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed; (c) identification of the material that you claim is infringing, with enough detail (such as a URL) for us to locate it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf. Upon receiving a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the material and, where appropriate, notify the user who posted it. That user may submit a counter-notice if they believe the material was removed in error. We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Designated Copyright Agent: Alyssa Glasco, Designated Copyright Agent for Spiffai LLC (operator of Inkbreaker), located in Savannah, Georgia, United States, email support@spiffai.com. Our designated agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office (DMCA Designated Agent Registration No. DMCA-1074176); the agent's full contact record, including mailing address and telephone number, is available from the Copyright Office's public DMCA Designated Agent Directory.

9. AI and Automated Processing

Inkbreaker does not use artificial intelligence to write, generate, rewrite, or analyze your work. Our writing-analysis features, such as Prose Grade, run on a deterministic scoring engine: fixed rules and metrics, not a machine-learning or generative AI model. When you use these tools while signed in, the work you submit and the results it produces are saved to your account (for example, in your notebook and submission history) so you can return to them; that content stays under your control and can be deleted by you, and we do not sell or share it. We do not use any AI service for content moderation. Moderation uses deterministic, rule-based filters that run on our own servers plus human review: content may be screened by an automated filter, and anything it flags is queued for a person to review. We never send your content to an external AI provider, and you may contact us to have a moderation decision reviewed by a person. We never use your writing or images to train any AI model, and we do not authorize third parties to do so.

10. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use the Platform to: (a) post content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, threatening, obscene, or hateful; (b) infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others or plagiarize another person's work; (c) impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation; (d) post unsolicited commercial messages or spam; (e) upload malicious code or attempt to compromise platform security; (f) scrape, harvest, or otherwise collect data or other users' work from the Platform using automated means, or use Platform content to train machine-learning or artificial-intelligence systems; (g) engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits others' use of the Platform; or (h) post content involving the sexual exploitation of minors. Violations of any of the above may result in immediate and permanent account termination without notice.

11. Zero Tolerance for Hate Speech and Discrimination

Inkbreaker maintains a zero tolerance policy toward hate speech and discriminatory content. We define hate speech as any content that dehumanizes, threatens, demeans, or incites hatred or violence against individuals or groups on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any other protected characteristic. This includes, but is not limited to: slurs, dehumanizing comparisons, calls for violence or discrimination, content that glorifies or celebrates hate crimes, and content designed to harass or intimidate individuals based on protected characteristics. Content found to violate this policy will be removed immediately. Accounts responsible for such content will be permanently terminated without appeal. We cooperate fully with law enforcement where applicable.

12. Feedback, Collaboration, and Beta Reading

The Platform offers features for exchanging critique and feedback, collaborating on shared work, and beta reading. When you participate, you agree to give feedback in good faith and to respect the work and effort of other writers. Bad-faith, abusive, or deliberately destructive feedback, as well as coordinated targeting or harassment of a writer, is prohibited. Work shared with you for feedback, collaboration, or beta reading is confidential and remains the property of its author; you may not copy, republish, distribute, or use it beyond the purpose for which it was shared, and you may not share it with others without the author's permission. Misuse of these features may result in removal from the relevant feature or account action.

13. Content Moderation and Enforcement

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to review, monitor, remove, or modify any User Content that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or our community guidelines. We may suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these Terms. We will endeavor to notify you of enforcement actions where practicable, but are not required to do so. Except where content is removed for unlawful conduct, repeat infringement, or the sexual exploitation of minors, you may request review of a moderation or account decision by contacting us at support@spiffai.com, and we will consider your request in good faith.

14. Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation

Certain features are available through a paid subscription ("Pro"). Paid subscriptions are sold and processed through our third-party payment provider, which acts as the merchant of record for those transactions; your payment is subject to that provider's terms in addition to these Terms. Unless stated otherwise, subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until you cancel. You may cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation stops future renewals, and your paid access continues until the end of the current billing period. We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods except where required by applicable law or expressly stated. We may change subscription pricing or features on a prospective basis with reasonable notice. If a payment fails or a subscription lapses, paid features may become unavailable, but your account and your work remain accessible under the free plan, subject to the limits of that plan.

15. Feedback and Suggestions

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Platform itself, you agree that we may use them without restriction or obligation to you, and you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate them. This applies only to product feedback about Inkbreaker and does not affect your ownership of your creative work or other User Content.

16. Third-Party Services and Links

The Platform relies on third-party service providers (for example, for hosting, payments, email, and image delivery) and may contain links to third-party websites or services that we do not control. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party service, and your use of those services is at your own risk and subject to their terms. The third parties we rely on to provide the Platform are described in our Privacy Policy.

17. Disclaimers

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Spiffai and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of the Platform. Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Platform shall not exceed the greater of one hundred US dollars (USD $100) or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months.

19. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Spiffai and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Platform, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.

20. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting an updated version on the Platform or by emailing you at the address associated with your account. Changes take effect upon posting. Your continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Platform.

21. Termination

You may stop using the Platform and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if we are required to by law, or where reasonably necessary to protect the Platform or its community. Where it is reasonable and lawful to do so, we will give you notice and, where appropriate, a chance to respond. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ends, but provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will continue in effect.

22. Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, and Arbitration

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform, are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, and, where applicable, by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.). (a) Informal resolution first: most concerns can be resolved quickly, so before starting an arbitration or court proceeding you agree to contact us at support@spiffai.com and give us at least 30 days to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith. (b) Binding arbitration: if we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and Spiffai agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform will be settled by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except as stated below. The arbitration will take place in Savannah, Georgia, or, at your election, by telephone, by videoconference, on the basis of written submissions, or in the county of your residence, and the arbitrator's award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. (c) CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND SPIFFAI AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND SPIFFAI ALSO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. (d) Exceptions: either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction, and nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property or to stop unauthorized use, infringement, or misuse of the Platform. (e) Your right to opt out: you may opt out of this arbitration agreement, including the class-action waiver, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to support@spiffai.com that includes your username and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration; opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms. (f) Severability of this section: if the class-action waiver in paragraph (c) is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and may proceed only in the courts identified below while the remaining claims proceed in arbitration; if any other part of this section is found unenforceable, it will be severed and the rest will remain in effect. (g) Courts: for any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and Spiffai consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Savannah (Chatham County), Georgia, and waive any objection to that venue.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining Terms will remain in full force and effect.

24. Community Values

Inkbreaker exists for writers who care about the craft. We believe great writing requires honesty, discipline, and a willingness to grow. The community we are building reflects those values. Content or conduct that undermines the integrity of the Platform, including bad-faith feedback, coordinated harassment of other writers, deliberate plagiarism, or content designed to exploit or degrade rather than create, is not welcome here and is subject to removal and account action at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to remove any content or user that we determine to be incompatible with the spirit of this community, even where specific Terms have not been technically violated.

25. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced in them, make up the entire agreement between you and Spiffai regarding the Platform and replace any prior agreements on that subject. If we do not enforce a provision of these Terms, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account to anyone else without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in performing our obligations that is caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, outages, or the acts of third-party providers. By creating an account and using the Platform, you agree to receive communications from us electronically, including by email and through the Platform, and you agree that those electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
