Terms of Service

Last updated: February 28, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Duskwrit platform, website, and services (collectively, the "Service") operated by Duskwrit ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Service Description

Duskwrit is an AI-powered creative writing platform that combines a rich text editor with automatic worldbuilding tools, including entity detection, knowledge graph generation, consistency checking, and AI-assisted prose generation. The Service is designed for novelists, screenwriters, game writers, and other creative professionals.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use this Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access. You may not share account credentials or allow others to access your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Content Ownership and Licenses

4.1. Your Creative Works: You retain full and exclusive ownership of all manuscripts, stories, novels, worldbuilding content, character descriptions, plot outlines, notes, and any other creative works you write, upload, or create through the Service ("Your Works"). We claim no intellectual property rights over Your Works. Your stories are yours — fully and unconditionally.

4.2. License to Us: By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process, store, analyze, and transmit Your Works solely for the purpose of providing the Service (including AI-powered features such as entity detection, consistency checking, and writing assistance). This license terminates when you delete Your Works or your account.

4.3. AI-Generated Content: Text, suggestions, entity profiles, brainstorm responses, and other content generated by the Service's AI features in response to Your Works are derivative of your creative input. You own these AI-generated outputs to the extent permitted by applicable law and may use them in your published works without restriction or attribution to Duskwrit.

4.4. No Training on Your Works: We do not use Your Works to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. Your manuscripts are processed via third-party AI APIs (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) solely to provide real-time features. These providers' data usage policies apply to API interactions, and as of the date of this policy, neither Anthropic nor Google uses API inputs for model training.

4.5. Feedback: Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you provide about the Service may be used by us without obligation to you.

Your IP — Plain English Summary

  1. All content you create using Duskwrit belongs to you. We claim no ownership over your manuscripts, characters, worlds, or any creative work.
  2. We do not use your writing to train AI models. Your manuscripts are processed via AI APIs solely for real-time features, never for training.
  3. Content generated with AI assistance (including improved, expanded, or shortened text) is your intellectual property. Use it however you wish — publish, sell, adapt — with no attribution to Duskwrit required.
  4. You may export all your data at any time, in standard formats, regardless of your plan status. Free or paid, you always have full access to your work.
  5. Deleting your account removes all your data from our servers within 30 days. No lingering copies, no hidden retention.

5. Acceptable Use

5.1. You agree NOT to use the Service to:

  • Upload or create content that infringes any third party's intellectual property rights.

  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the underlying AI models, algorithms, or source code.
  • Use automated means to access the Service beyond any provided API (no scraping or unauthorized bots).
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service or its AI capabilities without written authorization.

  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its servers.
  • Use the Service to generate bulk content for SEO manipulation, spam, or deceptive purposes.

5.2. Content Moderation: Duskwrit is a creative writing tool. We recognize that fiction explores a wide range of themes, including violence, conflict, and mature subject matter. We do not monitor or moderate the content of your manuscripts. However, we reserve the right to terminate accounts used to generate content that violates applicable law or poses a risk of harm.

5.3. We reserve the right to remove any content and suspend or terminate any account that violates these Terms, at our sole discretion.
