Terms of Service

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Draftly, operated by Ferhat Beyaz (“Draftly,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and govern your access to and use of our websites, applications, software, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information. Although it is not part of these Terms, it is an important document you should read.

1) Who we are & contact

Draftly is an AI-powered writing assistant that simulates a team of expert, personality-driven “Editors” who provide lifelike feedback on your drafts.

Operator: Ferhat Beyaz

Address: Schluchseestr. 26, 13469 Berlin, Germany

Contact: [email protected]

2) Eligibility & accounts

• Minimum age. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country). If you are under 18, you must have your parent or legal guardian’s permission. In the EEA/UK, comply with the applicable digital consent age.
• Registration. Provide accurate, complete information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for all activities under your account and for safeguarding your credentials.
• Business use. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.
• Corporate domains. If you register with an email address owned by an organization, your account may later be transferred into that organization’s business account (after notice), allowing its administrators to access, control, or terminate your access (see also §16).

3) Using Draftly

• License. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services.
• Your responsibilities. Comply with applicable laws, these Terms, and our policies. You are responsible for your Input, your drafts, and how you use Output.
• No professional advice. Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate. Do not rely on Output as a sole source of truth or as a substitute for professional advice (legal, medical, financial, etc.). Use human feedback as appropriate.
• Features. The Services include creating/editing/deleting drafts, editor search and selection, AI-assisted Insertion and Selection actions, creating feedback, and resolving/dismissing editor comments.
• Fair use & limits. We may apply usage caps, throughput limits, or other technical restrictions to protect the Services and other users.
• Beta features. Some features may be alpha/beta/preview and may change or be discontinued at any time; they are provided “as is”.

4) Third-party services & integrations

• Third parties. The Services may integrate third-party software, APIs, and processors (e.g., ChatGPT by OpenAI, Gemini by Google, Claude by Anthropic, Resend, Stripe). They are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for them.
• Model providers. Output may be generated by third-party models. We currently use ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), and Claude (Anthropic) to power AI features. Model behavior is probabilistic and may produce similar or overlapping results for different users.
• Links. We do not endorse or control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content or policies.
• Payments via Stripe. Billing is handled by our payment provider(s). You agree to their terms when making purchases.

5) Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to help others to:

• Break the law or infringe others’ rights (including privacy, intellectual property, or publicity rights).
• Upload or generate illegal, harmful, deceptive, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or sexually explicit content, or content that exploits minors.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services; bypass, disable, or interfere with security or access controls.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code or underlying components of the Services or models (except where permitted by law).
• Scrape, harvest, or programmatically extract data or Output at scale without our written permission.
• Misrepresent Output as human-generated when it is not, or use Output to build competing models or services.
• Send spam, conduct fraud, or otherwise abuse the Services.
• Upload or include personal data in a way that violates data protection laws or lacks a lawful basis.
• Use the Services to make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about individuals (e.g., credit, employment, housing) without appropriate human oversight and lawful basis.

6) Content: your Input & AI Output

• Definitions. “Input” is content you submit (e.g., text, files, prompts); “Output” is content generated by the Services in response. “Content” means Input and Output together.
• Ownership. To the extent permitted by law and subject to this section, you own your Input and you own the Output we generate for you. Because of how generative AI works, Output may not be unique and other users may receive similar or identical output.
• Service license. You grant Draftly a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, transmit, display, and create incidental copies of your Content to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Services; comply with law; and enforce our terms and policies.
• Model improvement & privacy. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle Content and analytics. Unless we tell you otherwise (and obtain any required consent), we do not use your private drafts to train third-party foundation models. If we offer optional programs to improve Draftly, we will clearly describe them and obtain your consent where required.
• Your warranties. You have all rights and permissions necessary to provide Input and to use Output as you choose, and your Content complies with these Terms and the law.
• Feedback. You may provide feedback; we may use it without restriction or compensation. References to third-party products in Output do not imply endorsement.

7) Analytics & event tracking

We use privacy-focused analytics to measure performance and improve the user experience. This may include tracking events for actions such as: login/signup; account changes; creating/editing/deleting drafts; editor search and selection; AI Insertion and Selection actions; creating feedback; resolving/dismissing editor comments; purchasing subscriptions or credit packs; pay-as-you-go usage; and sending feedback. See our Privacy Policy for details and your choices.

8) Plans, pricing & payment

• Subscriptions. Some features require a paid subscription that auto-renews at the end of each billing period unless you cancel.
• Pay-as-you-go & credit packs. Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and may expire as disclosed at purchase. We may adjust credit consumption rates as models, costs, or features change.
• Trials & promos. Trials or promotional offers are subject to their stated terms.
• Billing & taxes. You authorize us (and our processors) to charge your selected payment method for fees and applicable taxes, and you remain responsible for accurate billing information.
• Refunds. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law. For EU/UK consumers purchasing digital content for immediate use, you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that statutory withdrawal rights may be lost once performance begins.
• Price changes. We may change prices with at least 30 days’ notice for subscriptions. Changes take effect on renewal; you may cancel before then.
• Late payments. We may suspend or downgrade access for unpaid amounts or unresolved chargebacks.

9) Intellectual property & restrictions

• Our IP. We and our affiliates own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services (including software, models, systems, designs, and trademarks). Except for the limited license in §3, no rights are granted.
• Brand use. You may not use our name, logos, or marks without prior written permission.
• Restrictions. Except where permitted by law, you may not copy, modify, host, sublicense, sell, or distribute the Services, or use them to build a competing product or service.

10) Accuracy, safety & disclaimers

Generative AI is probabilistic and may produce incorrect, misleading, or offensive Output. Use discretion and human feedback, particularly for high-stakes uses. To the extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We and our affiliates and licensors disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, accurate, secure, or error-free, or that Content will be preserved without loss or alteration.

11) Suspension, termination & data

• Your choice. You may stop using the Services at any time and can delete your account via settings or by contacting us.
• Our rights. We may suspend or terminate your access, or delete Content, if (a) you breach these Terms or our policies; (b) we must comply with law; (c) your use poses risk to us, other users, or the Services; or (d) your account is inactive for an extended period without a paid plan (after prior notice).
• Effect of termination. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends. Where feasible, we will provide a reasonable opportunity to export your drafts before deletion. We may retain certain records as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., security logs, invoices).

12) Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, and under applicable product liability laws.

• Germany/EEA consumers. For slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of material contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten) and limited to the foreseeable, typical damage at the time of contracting. The above limitations apply to our legal representatives and vicarious agents. Mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.
• Global limitation (where permitted). Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of: (a) amounts paid by you to us for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) USD $100.
• No special damages. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, goodwill, data, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

13) Indemnification (business users)

If you are a business or organization, you will indemnify and hold harmless Draftly, our affiliates, and personnel from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Services or Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party rights.

14) IP complaints

If you believe Content or the Services infringe your rights, contact [email protected] with details: (a) identification of the work or right claimed infringed; (b) identification of the material claimed infringing; (c) your contact details; and (d) a statement of good-faith belief and accuracy. We may remove or disable access to alleged infringing material and, where appropriate, terminate repeat infringers.

15) Changes to the Services or these Terms

We are continuously improving Draftly. We may update the Services and these Terms from time to time. For changes that materially and adversely affect you, we will provide at least 30 days’ advance notice (e.g., email or in-product notice). All other changes take effect when posted. If you do not agree to the updates, you must stop using the Services before they become effective.

16) Export, sanctions & organizational use

• Trade compliance. You must comply with applicable trade, export control, and sanctions laws. Do not use the Services in, for the benefit of, or export/re-export to individuals/entities subject to sanctions or in embargoed countries/territories. Do not include export-controlled data in Input without a lawful basis.
• Organizations. If you use Draftly under an organization account, your organization may administer your account and access certain information subject to its policies and its agreements with us.

17) Governing law & venue

• EEA/UK consumers. Mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence apply. Otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules.
• Businesses. If you are a business, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms is Berlin, Germany.
• Consumer disputes. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board.

18) Miscellaneous

• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Entire agreement. These Terms (and referenced policies) are the entire agreement between you and Draftly regarding the Services.
• Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures due to events beyond our reasonable control.
• Notices. We may provide notices via email, in-product messages, or by posting to our site. Keep your contact details current.
