Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Yazorp LLC (“Yazorp,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your use of the Verse Draft website and application (the “Service”). These Terms include our Privacy Policy and any plan, beta, order, or feature-specific terms presented to you. By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, joining a beta, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Eligibility & availability

You must be the age of majority in your state of residence, or otherwise able to form a binding contract, to use the Service. The Service is currently offered only in the United States and is intended for users located there; we make no representation that it is appropriate or available for use elsewhere.

The service & beta

Verse Draft is a writing studio for novelists, screenwriters, playwrights, and other fiction creators. Parts of the Service may be offered in beta, preview, early-access, trial, promotional, or limited-release form. Beta features may be incomplete, may contain errors, may have usage limits, and may change, pause, or be removed at any time.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must provide accurate information and keep it current. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised. Authorized Yazorp personnel may access your account where necessary to provide support you request, protect the Service, investigate abuse, enforce these Terms, or comply with law.

Your content is yours

You retain all rights to the universes, manuscripts, images, prompts, notes, and other content you create, upload, generate, or store in the Service (“Your Content”). You grant Yazorp a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, back up, display, format, convert, and otherwise use Your Content solely as needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the Service and provide the features you choose to use. We do not claim ownership of your writing, and we do not use Your Content to train artificial intelligence (“AI”) models.

You represent that you have the rights needed to submit Your Content to the Service and to grant this license. You are responsible for Your Content, including whether it infringes third-party rights, violates privacy or publicity rights, or violates applicable law.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• violate applicable law or the rights of others, including intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights;
• upload, generate, store, or share content you do not have the right to use;
• create, upload, generate, store, or share unlawful sexual content, non-consensual intimate imagery, content that sexually exploits or abuses minors, or content that appears to depict minors in a sexual or exploitative manner;
• harass, threaten, defame, stalk, or abuse another person, or publish someone’s private or identifying information without their consent (a practice often called “doxing”);
• upload malware, attempt unauthorized access, disrupt, overload, scrape, probe, reverse-engineer, or abuse the Service or its infrastructure;
• circumvent usage limits, subscription controls, security features, or content safeguards; or
• misrepresent affiliation with Yazorp or use the Service to send spam, phishing, or other deceptive communications.

Creative writing and visual media

Your writing is your own creative expression. We do not review or restrict fiction merely because of taste, viewpoint, genre, or fictional subject matter. However, all use of the Service, including written content, must comply with these Terms, applicable law, and the rights of others.

Images and other visual media are subject to stricter rules. Whether you upload them or generate them with the Service, visual media must not be unlawful, obscene, infringing, non-consensual, exploitative, or otherwise prohibited by these Terms. Violations may result in immediate content removal, suspension or termination of your account, preservation of evidence, and reports to law enforcement or other authorities where required or appropriate.

When you upload an image or other file to the Service, you represent and warrant that you own it, hold a valid license or other permission sufficient for your intended use, or that it is in the public domain, and that neither the file nor your use of it in the Service infringes or violates any third party’s intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights. You are solely responsible for verifying that you have these rights before uploading.

The AI assistant

Verse Draft’s AI features are assistive tools. They may provide feedback, answer questions, help with brainstorming, or generate images at your request. They do not write your prose, dialogue, or story for you, and they act only when you choose to use them. AI features are optional and may be subject to separate usage limits.

AI outputs can be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, duplicative, or unsuitable for your intended use. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and deciding whether to rely on any output. We do not guarantee that AI outputs are unique, non-infringing, error-free, or appropriate for publication, legal, medical, financial, or other professional use.

The Service can read text aloud using the speech capability of your own web browser. Which voices are available, how they sound, and where the speech is actually produced are determined by your browser and operating system rather than by us — some voices run on your device, others are generated by the browser vendor’s service and are governed by that vendor’s terms. We do not record audio and do not receive the text for the purpose of speaking it.

Images and other material you generate with the Service’s AI tools are provided to you “as is.” Notwithstanding the general statement above that Your Content is yours, Yazorp claims no ownership of, and no copyright in, AI-generated output, and grants you no such rights. You acknowledge that, under current United States intellectual-property law, purely AI-generated material may not be eligible for copyright protection and that you may not automatically own a copyright in the raw output of an AI generation. Any rights you may hold in a finished work that incorporates AI-generated output — for example, through your own creative selection, arrangement, editing, or other human authorship — are governed by applicable law, and you are solely responsible for determining what you may lawfully claim in, and how you may use, such output.

Subscriptions

Some features may require a paid subscription, trial, promotional grant, or other access plan. Plan terms, prices, billing intervals, included features, renewal terms, taxes, discounts, usage limits, and cancellation options will be presented at sign-up or in the Service. If you purchase a subscription, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge the applicable fees and taxes on a recurring basis until you cancel, unless the plan terms say otherwise.

You may cancel a paid subscription as described in the Service or by contacting support. Unless required by law or expressly stated in the applicable plan terms, fees are non-refundable and cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period. We may change pricing, plans, or included features with notice where required by law or reasonably appropriate for the change.

Third-party services

The Service may rely on third-party infrastructure, hosting, storage, payment processing, email, support, AI, image, publishing, and other operational services. Those services may be subject to their own terms and technical limits. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our control, but our use of service providers is addressed in our Privacy Policy.

Copyright complaints

If you believe content in the Service infringes your copyright, contact us at support@yazorp.com with enough detail for us to identify the content and evaluate the claim. We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers where appropriate. If Yazorp designates a formal agent under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), notices should be sent to that agent using the published instructions.

Safety and abuse reports

If you believe content or use of the Service involves child sexual exploitation, non-consensual intimate imagery, threats, doxing, or another urgent safety concern, contact us at support@yazorp.com with enough detail for us to evaluate the report. If someone is in immediate danger, contact emergency services first. We may remove content, preserve evidence, disable accounts, and report matters to law enforcement or other authorities where required or appropriate.

No warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any content will be preserved without loss.

Data & backups

While we take reasonable measures designed to safeguard your data, we do not guarantee that Your Content will never be lost, corrupted, or temporarily unavailable. You are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups of any content that matters to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss of, or inability to access, Your Content, and you release us from any claim arising out of such loss.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Yazorp will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, data, or goodwill. In no event will our total aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the Service exceed the total amount you have actually paid us for the Service (or, if you have not paid anything, one hundred U.S. dollars).

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Yazorp harmless from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may request account deletion as described in the Service or by contacting support. We may suspend or terminate your access, remove content, or limit features if you violate these Terms, create risk for the Service or other users, fail to pay amounts owed, use a beta or promotional grant after eligibility ends, or where needed to comply with law. Termination does not require us to preserve Your Content, so keep your own backups.

Provisions that by their nature should survive, including ownership, content licenses needed for retained backups and legal records, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, the dispute-resolution and arbitration terms, and the governing-law, jurisdiction, and venue terms, will survive termination.

Governing law, jurisdiction & venue

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement below. Except for disputes subject to that Arbitration Agreement, you agree that the state and federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona will have exclusive jurisdiction and be the exclusive venue over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Dispute resolution & arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION, AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Talk to us first. We want to resolve concerns quickly and directly, and if you have a genuine problem we would rather simply make it right. Before starting arbitration or any other proceeding, you agree to first email us at support@yazorp.com with a description of your concern and to give us at least 60 days to resolve it informally. Completing this step is a condition of bringing any claim.

Agreement to arbitrate. Except for the matters described under “Exceptions” below, you and Yazorp agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a “Dispute”) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, not in court. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and, where applicable, the Arizona Revised Uniform Arbitration Act (A.R.S. § 12-3001 et seq.). The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect; if the AAA will not or cannot administer the arbitration, the parties will agree on, or a court will appoint, a comparable administrator. The arbitrator decides all issues, including the scope, enforceability, and validity of this Arbitration Agreement, except that a court decides only whether a claim qualifies for the small-claims exception below.

Jury-trial and class-action waiver. YOU AND YAZORP EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT HEAR THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON TOGETHER. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, only that claim will proceed in court, and the rest of this Arbitration Agreement will remain in effect.

Costs, fees & location. You will pay no more than the consumer filing fee set by the AAA’s rules, and Yazorp will pay the remaining AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any Dispute that is not frivolous. Each party otherwise bears its own attorneys’ fees and costs, except that the arbitrator may award the prevailing party its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert and witness fees, and costs to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including A.R.S. § 12-341.01 (contract actions) and A.R.S. § 12-349 (claims brought without substantial justification, in bad faith, or for harassment), and may require you to reimburse fees Yazorp advanced for a claim the arbitrator finds frivolous. Any arbitration is seated in Maricopa County, Arizona; to keep costs low, it will be conducted by telephone, videoconference, or written submissions unless you and Yazorp agree otherwise. You will not be required to travel outside your home state, and Yazorp will not be required to appear in person outside the State of Arizona.

Exceptions. Either you or Yazorp may instead bring an individual claim in the small-claims division of a justice court located in Maricopa County, Arizona, so long as the claim stays within that court’s jurisdiction. And either party may ask a court for an injunction or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property or to stop unauthorized access to or misuse of the Service. Pursuing either option does not waive this Arbitration Agreement for any other Dispute.

Confidentiality, your right to speak & severability. The arbitration and its result will be kept confidential, except as needed to enforce or challenge an award, to obtain legal, accounting, or insurance advice, or as required by law. Nothing in these Terms prevents you from posting honest reviews of the Service or from reporting a concern to, or filing a complaint with, any government agency, including the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, the Federal Trade Commission, or other regulators. If any part of this Arbitration Agreement other than the class-action waiver is found unenforceable, that part will be severed and the rest will remain in effect.

General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any plan, beta, order, or feature-specific terms presented to you, are the entire agreement between you and Yazorp regarding the Service, and they supersede any prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will stay in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, employment, or joint-venture relationship, and the Terms do not give any third party the right to enforce them. Section headings are for convenience only.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above, and we may provide additional notice where reasonably appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
