Terms of Use

Terms of Use

Rules of use, user responsibilities, and liability limits in plain language. Last reviewed .

In short

Use the site lawfully, use the forms honestly, and do not republish the stories. The site is provided as it is, with no warranty attached.

Your words stay yours. The studio claims no rights over anything you write.

Using this site

You may read, print, and share these pages for your own work. Please keep the pages working for other people as well.

  • Do not attempt to break, overload, or probe the site.
  • Do not republish the pages as your own, and do not strip the studio's name from them.
  • Do not collect visitor information. There is none to collect, and trying is pointless.
  • Do not use the forms to send anything unlawful, or anything you would not want the studio to read.

Links to other sites are fine. The studio does not control them and does not vouch for them.

Using the forms

One request per submission. The forms exist so a person can read a clear message, not so a machine can flood the mailbox.

  • No automated submissions and no bulk sending. Scripts that fill these forms are not welcome.
  • Describe the bug or the request truthfully. A wrong report costs more time than a missing one.
  • Send one idea per feature request, so each can be judged on its own.
  • Leave the email field empty if you would rather not be contacted.

Submissions that break these rules can be refused without a reply.

Using the demo

The Compute and Chart demo runs entirely in your browser. The text you paste is counted on your own machine.

Nothing is uploaded. The sample text is not sent anywhere, not stored on a server, and not seen by the studio. Close the tab and it is gone.

Use it on whatever you like. A private draft is a private draft, and the demo never asks.

Story content

The Words pages carry original stories written by the studio. They are published for personal reading.

You may not republish them, post them elsewhere, or pass them off as your own. Short quotations with a link back to the original are fine. The Words page lists everything that is published.

What we do not promise

The site is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind. It may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong on a bad day.

Nothing here is a promise about a product that does not exist yet. The Labs pages describe experiments, not plans.

To the fullest extent the law allows, the studio is not liable for any loss that comes from your use of this site, including lost drafts, lost profits, or any indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing in these terms removes rights you have under the law that cannot be removed by agreement.

Changes

These terms can change. When they do, the date below changes with them, and the older version stops applying.
