Terms of Service

Last updated: August 10, 2026

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using Entangled Text ("the Platform," "Service," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("User," "you," or "your") agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Entangled Text is a web-based platform that provides tools for AI-assisted book writing and content generation. The Platform includes built-in AI options (such as Free AI and, for Pro subscribers, Premium AI) and may also let eligible users connect personal API keys for third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others). AI-generated content is produced by those model providers (platform-managed or your own keys). The Service may be offered free of charge; we may introduce optional paid features or change availability at any time.

3. Your Account and Conduct

You must provide accurate registration information and keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account, whether authorized by you or not. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account. You agree not to use the Service for any illegal purpose, to violate any applicable laws or third-party rights, or to abuse the Platform (e.g. excessive automated requests, circumventing rate limits). We may suspend or terminate accounts at our sole discretion for any violation of these terms or for any reason we deem necessary to protect the Service or other users.

4. API Keys — Your Sole Responsibility

Built-in Free AI and Pro Premium AI do not require personal API keys. If you choose to add personal API keys (a Pro feature) from third-party AI providers, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You are solely responsible for the security, management, and use of your API keys.
  • You are solely responsible for all costs, charges, and fees incurred through the use of your API keys, whether authorized by you or not, including costs resulting from unauthorized access, theft, misuse, or any other use of your keys.
  • The Platform encrypts API keys at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption; however, we do not guarantee that your API keys cannot be intercepted, stolen, or compromised through security breaches, vulnerabilities, or other means.
  • We are not responsible or liable for any charges, costs, damages, or losses arising from the use, misuse, theft, or compromise of your API keys, regardless of how such events occur.
  • You should monitor your API provider accounts and set appropriate usage limits and alerts directly with your AI provider(s).
  • You agree to comply with all terms of service and acceptable use policies of the third-party AI providers whose API keys you use on this Platform.

5. AI-Generated Content

All content generated through the Platform is produced by third-party AI services. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, biased, offensive, or otherwise unsuitable.
  • You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all generated content before use or publication.
  • We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, quality, originality, or fitness of any AI-generated content for any purpose.
  • We are not liable for any claims, damages, or losses arising from your use or publication of AI-generated content, including but not limited to claims of copyright infringement, defamation, plagiarism, or factual inaccuracy.

6. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of the content you create using the Platform, subject to any rights or restrictions imposed by the third-party AI providers whose services were used to generate that content. The Platform and its original code, design, and branding are owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer the Platform software. By using the Service, you grant us the license necessary to store, process, and transmit your content and API keys solely to provide the Service.

7. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Service to generate or distribute illegal, harmful, or infringing content. You must comply with our rate limits and usage policies. We may remove content or suspend access if we reasonably believe it violates these terms or applicable law.

7a. Importing content from URLs

If you use URL import or similar features, you represent and warrant that:

  • You own the content, have written permission from the copyright holder, or the work is in the public domain where you import it;
  • You will not use the Service to copy content from third-party reading sites, paywalled material, or sources that prohibit automated access;
  • You will not publish imported content on Discover unless you hold the necessary rights;
  • You comply with our Copyright & DMCA Policy.

We may block domains, cancel import jobs, remove content, or suspend accounts without notice if we reasonably believe an import violates these terms or applicable law. URL import is a technical convenience; we do not verify ownership.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant that any data, content, or information stored on the Platform will be preserved, backed up, or recoverable.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ENTANGLED TEXT, ITS OWNER(S), OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities; cost of procurement of substitute services; API costs, charges, or fees incurred through third-party providers; unauthorized access to or alteration of your data or API keys; any damages arising from your use of AI-generated content; or service interruptions, downtime, or data loss.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to your use of the Service shall not exceed the total amount you have paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or ten US dollars (US$10.00), whichever is greater.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Entangled Text, its owner(s), operators, affiliates, and contributors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your use of the Service or any content generated through it; your violation of these terms or any applicable law; your API keys and any costs or liabilities associated with their use; any content you publish, distribute, or make available through the Service; and any third-party claims arising from your use of AI-generated content.

11. Third-Party Services

The Platform integrates with third-party services (AI providers, payment processors, etc.). We are not responsible for the availability, reliability, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party service. Your use of third-party services is governed by their respective terms and policies.

12. Service Availability and Modifications

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you. We are under no obligation to maintain, support, or continue offering the Service.

13. Data and Backups

While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, we do not guarantee the preservation or recoverability of any data stored on the Platform. You are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups. We are not liable for any loss of data, regardless of cause.

14. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally within thirty (30) days, it shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with applicable arbitration rules, rather than in court. You agree to waive your right to a jury trial and to participate in any class action lawsuit against the Platform or its owner(s).

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

16. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. We will indicate the "Last updated" date when we change the Terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and Copyright Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Entangled Text regarding your use of the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
