These Terms are a contract between you and WriterHabits, ("WriterHabits") (and not our Providers), and they include our Acceptable Use requirements. By accessing our Services, you agree to these Terms.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our Services with a revised effective date. Your continued use of our Services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

Our communications to you using your Account information will satisfy any requirements for legal notices.
You may not share your Account login information or Account credentials with anyone else. You also may not make your Account available to anyone else. You are responsible for all activity occurring under your Account, and you agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized access to your Account by sending an email to support@writerhabits.com.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions that are necessary for us to process all content you create, write, store, or upload on WriterHabits.
By using our Services, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to host, store, display, and process your User Content for the purpose of providing our Services to you (e.g., displaying your writings, calculating progress statistics, sending notifications you have configured, sharing your writings at your request, etc.)
Our Services, including its design, features, code, graphics, logos, and documentation, is owned by WriterHabits and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of our Services.
WriterHabits is designed to foster a positive, productive environment for writers. You may not access or use, or help another person to access or use, our Services in the following ways:
You also must not abuse, harm, interfere with, or disrupt our Services, including, for example, introducing viruses or malware, spamming or DDoSing Services, or bypassing any of our systems or protective measures.
Our Services offer free and paid subscriptions ("Subscription"). There is no cost to you for our free subscription which provides basic functionality. Paid subscriptions provide additional features as described on our Services.
Paid subscriptions may be billed as one-time charges or recurring charges (monthly or annually, as selected by you). You must provide complete and accurate billing information ("Payment Method"). You authorize us to charge your designated Payment Method for one-time and/or recurring charges.
All payments are processed through our third-party payment processor (Stripe) and include all fees and any applicable taxes. You agree that we will not be held liable for any errors caused by our third-party payment processor to process fees paid by you to us.
The content, features, and other services provided as part of your Subscription, and the duration of your Subscription, will be described in the order process. We may change the content, features, and other services from time to time, and we do not guarantee that any particular piece of content, feature, or other service will always be available through our Services.
You may cancel your Subscription at any time in the Billing section of the Settings page on the WriterHabits website. Upon cancellation of a paid Subscription, you will retain access to the available paid Subscription features until the end of your current billing period. Except as expressly provided in these Terms or where required by law, all payments are non-refundable.
Please check your order carefully before confirming it with our payment processor. After cancellation, at the end of your current billing period, your account will automatically convert to a free Subscription and you may continue to use the available free Subscription features, subject to the Terms.
We reserve the right to change our subscription pricing. We will provide notice of any subscription pricing changes on the WriterHabits website. Your continued use of a Paid subscription after the price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.
Our Services may use or be used in connection with third-party content ("Third-Party Content"), services, or integrations. We do not control or accept responsibility for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of any Third-Party Content, services, and integrations, for which we make no representations or warranties.

We may, at our sole discretion, take action against accounts that violate these Terms. We are not obligated to review all Content on our Services.

YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, RELIABIILTY, SECURITY, PRIVACY, COMPATIBILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WRITERHABITS, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE OUR SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ANY WRITERHABITS PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF THE DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE WRITERHABITS PARTIES' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OUR SERVICES, THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVICES (IF ANY) IN THE SIX MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE SUCH DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION FIRST AROSE, AND $100. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THESE TERMS, AND WE WOULD NOT OFFER OUR SERVICES TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.
YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE WRITERHABITS PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS), AND OTHER LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THESE TERMS; YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR ALLEGED USE OF OUR SERVICES; ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT YOU DEVELOP, OFFER, OR OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE USING OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH OUR SERVICES; YOUR VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW OR ANY THIRD-PARTY RIGHT; AND ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR CRIMINAL ACTS COMMITTED BY YOU OR YOUR EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS.

THE LAWS OF SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THESE TERMS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
OUR PROVIDERS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 13.
Our Services are novel and will change. We may sometimes add or remove features, increase or decrease capacity limits, offer new Services, or stop offering certain Services.
Unless we specifically agree otherwise in a separate agreement with you, we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue our Services or your access to our Services, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to you. Although we will strive to provide you with reasonable advance notice if we stop offering a Service, there may be urgent situations — such as preventing abuse, responding to legal requirements, or addressing security and operability issues — where providing advance notice is not feasible. We will not be liable for any change to or any suspension or discontinuation of our Services or your access to them.
We may revise and update these Terms at our discretion. Some examples of times we may update these Terms include (1) to reflect changes in our Services, like when we add or remove features or services, or update our pricing, (2) for security or legal reasons, or (3) to promote safety or prevent abuse. If you continue to access our Services after we post the updated Terms on the WriterHabits website or otherwise give you notice of Terms changes, then you agree to the updated Terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you must stop using our Services.
These Terms and any other terms expressly incorporated by reference form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter of our Terms.
You may stop accessing our Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to our Services (including any Subscriptions) at any time without notice to you if we believe that you have breached these Terms, or if we must do so in order to comply with law. If we terminate your access to our Services due to a violation of these Terms and you have a Subscription, you will not be entitled to any refund. In addition, if you have a Subscription, we may terminate the Subscription at any time for any other reason. If we exercise this right and you purchased the subscription via our website, we will refund you, on a pro rata basis, the fees you paid for the remaining portion of your Subscription after termination.
We may also terminate your Account if you have been inactive for 180 days and you do not have a paid Account. If we terminate your Account due to inactivity, we will provide you with notice before doing so.
If a particular Term or portion of these Terms is not valid or enforceable, this will have no effect on any other Terms.
Any delay or failure on our part to enforce a provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce them later.
These Terms may not be transferred or assigned by you without our prior written consent, but may be assigned by us without restriction.
You may not, without our prior written permission, use our name, logos, or other trademarks in connection with products or services other than our Services, or in any other way that implies our affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship. To seek permission, please email us at support@writerhabits.com.
You may not export or provide access to our Services into any U.S. embargoed countries or to anyone on (i) the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, (ii) any other restricted party lists identified by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, (iii) the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List or Entity List, or (iv) any other restricted party lists. You represent and warrant that you and anyone accessing or using our Services on your behalf, or using your Account credentials, are not such persons or entities and are not located in any such country.
We may comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to provision or use of our Services, or to information provided to or collected under our Terms. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to report information from or about you, including but not limited to Content to law enforcement.
You agree that (a) no adequate remedy exists at law if you breach Section 4 (Use of our Services); (b) it would be difficult to determine the damages resulting from such breach, and any such breach would cause irreparable harm; and (c) a grant of injunctive relief provides the best remedy for any such breach. You waive any opposition to such injunctive relief, as well as any demand that we prove actual damage or post a bond or other security in connection with such injunctive relief.
Our Terms will be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Mexico without giving effect to conflict of law principles. You and WriterHabits agree that any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and you and WriterHabits submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. By accessing our Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other jurisdictions.
