By accessing or using Papyrly (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
Papyrly provides an interactive storytelling platform where users can read and engage with branching narrative content, and write their own stories with AI. The Service may include various features such as user accounts, content libraries, and subscription services.
To access certain features of the Service, you may be required to create an account. You agree to:
You can delete your account at any time from your Profile. See how to delete your account.
You agree not to:
Papyrly lets you write stories, chapters and covers with artificial intelligence (“AI”). The AI writes from what you give it, so you are responsible for what you ask for and what you share. By signing in, you accept these content rules. Your stories, including what the AI writes for you, must not contain:
Fan fiction is welcome: you may write about characters and worlds from existing books, films, shows and games, as long as you don’t copy their text. Private stories and stories shared by link keep the original names. Before a fan fiction story goes public in the library, we ask you to give its characters and places new names of your own. Those characters and worlds still belong to their owners, and we remove fan fiction when a rights holder asks us to (see section 7).
We have zero tolerance for content that breaks these rules. Stories you make public are reviewed before other readers can find them. You can report any story, chapter, cover, chapter idea or author from inside the app with the Report button or flag, or by emailing hello@papyrly.com. We review reports and may remove content without notice, and suspend or close accounts that break these rules.
AI can make mistakes and write things that are unexpected, inaccurate or offensive, even when you follow these rules. Facts in non-fiction stories may be wrong. If you share a story or make it public, you allow Papyrly to store, show and promote it in the Service.
All content available through the Service, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is the property of Papyrly or its content suppliers and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any content without explicit permission.
If you own the rights to a work and believe a story, chapter or cover on Papyrly infringes them, email hello@papyrly.com with the subject “Copyright complaint”. You don’t need a Papyrly account. Please include:
Signed-in readers can also report a story with the Report button and “Copyright violation”. When we receive a complete notice, we remove or disable the content promptly and let its author know.
If you are the author and believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address with your name, postal address and phone number; what was removed and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts where you live, or where Papyrly operates if you live elsewhere; and your physical or electronic signature. We may pass your counter-notice to the person who complained, and restore the content unless they tell us they have started legal action.
We close the accounts of authors who repeatedly post content that infringes others’ rights.
Certain features of the Service may require payment. By purchasing a subscription or making a payment, you agree to pay all applicable fees and charges. Subscription fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time with reasonable notice.
The Service may include virtual currency (such as “ink”) or virtual items. These have no real-world value and cannot be exchanged for real money. We reserve the right to manage, modify, or eliminate virtual currency and items at our discretion.
Ink included with an Author Pro subscription expires 60 days after it is credited, even if you cancel. Ink you buy or earn does not expire. Ink that expires soonest is used first.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PAPYRLY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Papyrly and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Papyrly operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us through hello@papyrly.com.
