Effective Date: January 17, 2026 Last Updated: January 17, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to NoosphereWriter ("we," "us," "our," or "the Service"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and the operators of NoosphereWriter. These Terms govern your access to and use of our web application, tools, and all related services located at https://noospherewriter.com/ (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you are prohibited from using the Service.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT PROVISIONS THAT AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING A BINDING ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS.

2. Eligibility and Access

2.1. Minimum Age: You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. Use by anyone under 18 is permitted only with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian.

2.2. No Registration Required (Google Authentication): The Service does not require traditional account registration. We use authentication via your personal Google Account to manage access to Google Drive. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Google Account. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized access to your Google Account.

3. The Service

NoosphereWriter is a web application providing tools for screenwriters. The Service operates on a "Bring Your Own Key" (BYO-Key) and "Bring Your Own Storage" model.

  • AI Assistance: Features powered by third-party Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically Google Gemini, accessed via your personal API key.
  • Local & Cloud Storage: The Service connects to your personal Google Drive to save and manage screenplay files. We do not host your screenplay files on our servers.

The Service is provided "as-is." We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service at any time.

4. Intellectual Property & Content

4.1. Stored Content vs. Input:

  • "Stored Content" refers to the screenplay files, documents, and data stored in your personal Google Drive. You retain full ownership of Stored Content. We do not access Stored Content except to facilitate file operations at your direction.
  • "Input" refers to the specific text, prompts, story lines, and characters you submit to the AI features of the Service.
  • "Output" means the text, ideas, or material generated by the AI based on your Input.

4.2. Ownership of Input: You retain all right, title, and interest in and to your Input. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and permissions to provide such Input to the Service.

4.3. Ownership and Assignment of Output: As between the parties, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you own the Output. To the extent we acquire any rights in the Output by operation of law, we hereby assign to you all our right, title, and interest, if any, in and to the Output.

  • Note: This assignment is limited to NoosphereWriter's rights. We make no claims regarding the rights of third-party AI providers (e.g., Google).

4.4. Non-Uniqueness of Output: You acknowledge that due to the nature of artificial intelligence, Output may not be unique. Other users may provide similar Input and receive similar Output. Responses generated for other users are not considered your Output.

4.5. Copyrightability Disclaimer: We do not warrant or guarantee that the Output will be copyrightable, unique, or protectable under applicable intellectual property laws. The legal landscape regarding AI-generated content is evolving; you are solely responsible for determining the ownership status of your work.

4.6. AI Features and Your API Key: You must provide your own API key from Google AI Studio. You are responsible for all costs and compliance associated with your API key.

  • Data Privacy: If you use a Free/Standard tier key, Google may use your Input to train their models. If you use a Paid/Enterprise tier key, Google typically offers stronger privacy protections. NoosphereWriter has no control over Google’s data practices.

5. User Conduct and Restrictions

You agree not to (and not to allow any third party to):

  1. Export Violations: Use the Service in, or for the benefit of, any U.S. embargoed country or territory (e.g., Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria) or any individual on a U.S. government restricted list.

  2. Competing Services: Directly or indirectly use the Service or any Output to develop a product or service that competes with NoosphereWriter.

  3. Illegal Content: Upload or generate content that is illegal, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, or infringing on third-party rights.

  4. Reverse Engineering: Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to discover the source code of the Service.

THE SERVICE AND OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; (B) THE OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, ORIGINAL, COPYRIGHTABLE, OR NON-INFRINGING; (C) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS.

YOU, NOT NOOSPHEREWRITER, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EXAMINING ALL OUTPUT FOR ACCURACY AND APPROPRIATENESS.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NOOSPHEREWRITER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless NoosphereWriter from any claims, damages, or expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your Input or Stored Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) any allegation that your Input or use of Output infringes the rights of a third party.

10.3. Batch Arbitration (Mass Action Waiver): To increase efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and NoosphereWriter agree that in the event that there are 25 or more individual arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature filed against us by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organization, the arbitration provider shall:

  1. Administer the arbitration demands in batches of 50 demands per batch (or, if there are fewer than 50 demands left, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands);
  2. Appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and
  3. Provide for a single filing fee due per batch, divided equally among the claimants in the batch.

You agree to cooperate in good faith with the implementation of this batch arbitration process.

10.4. Class Action Waiver: You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

  • Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
