Terms of Service

Effective date: May 2, 2026  ·  Last updated: May 2, 2026

Welcome to InkSpaceX. These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and InkSpaceX ("InkSpaceX", "we", "our", or "us") and govern your access to and use of the InkSpaceX mobile application, website, APIs, and any related services (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, signing in, or using the Service in any way, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use InkSpaceX (or, where local law sets a higher digital-age-of-consent — for example, 16 in parts of the EEA and UK — the locally applicable minimum). If you are between the digital age of consent and the age of majority where you live, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation, and "you" includes that organisation.

2. Your account

• You can create an account using an email address and password, or by using Google Sign-In.
• You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure. Don't share your password. Notify us at support@inkspacex.com immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.
• You are responsible for everything that happens under your account, except to the extent we are legally responsible.
• One person, one account. Don't impersonate someone else, don't create accounts for the purpose of evading a ban, and don't sell or transfer your account.
• You can close your account at any time — see §13 of this document and §9 of the Privacy Policy.

3. Your content

3.1 You own what you create

You retain all rights, title, and interest in the writings, comments, canvas layouts, images, bookshelf collections, and other materials you create, upload, or post through the Service ("Your Content"). InkSpaceX claims no ownership of Your Content.

3.2 The licence you grant us

To run the Service we need a licence to host and display Your Content. By posting, uploading, or making Your Content available through the Service, you grant InkSpaceX a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (only to our infrastructure providers and processors as listed in our Privacy Policy) licence to host, store, cache, reproduce, transmit, display, perform, adapt (only as needed for technical compatibility — e.g., resizing images, generating preview thumbnails, computing search/recommendation embeddings), and distribute Your Content for the purpose of operating, providing, and improving the Service. This licence ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except for:

• copies retained as part of standard, time-limited backups (purged on rotation as described in the Privacy Policy);
• copies that other users have permitted offline (e.g., downloaded for offline reading) on devices we cannot reach;
• aggregated, fully de-identified data that cannot be linked back to you.

You also grant other authenticated users of InkSpaceX a non-exclusive licence to access and to interact with (read, like, comment on, bookmark, share within the Service, save offline within the app) Your Content that you choose to publish to the public feed.

3.3 Your representations

For each piece of content you submit, you represent and warrant that:

• you own it or have the necessary rights, licences, and permissions to submit it and grant the licence in §3.2;
• it does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
• it complies with these Terms and applicable law.

3.4 AI-assisted writing

InkSpaceX includes optional AI features (suggestions, rewrites, summaries, recommendations, spell check) that send the relevant excerpts of your text to a third-party AI processor (currently Microsoft Azure OpenAI). See the Privacy Policy §7 for details. You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated suggestions before publishing them. AI output is provided "as-is", may be inaccurate, biased, or inappropriate, and does not constitute professional, legal, medical, or financial advice. You retain ownership of any output you choose to keep, subject to applicable law on copyrightability of AI-generated material.

3.5 Personal-dictionary submissions

When you tap "Add to dictionary" on a word the spell-checker underlined, that single word is sent to InkSpaceX so it can be queued for editorial review. You agree that:

• You will not submit words you do not have the right to share — for example, third-party trade-marks where submission would violate the rights-holder's policy, names of private individuals submitted with intent to harass, or any string containing your own or another person's password, API key, or other credential.
• InkSpaceX may, at its sole discretion, accept, reject, or remove any submitted word from the global dictionary that ships to other users. Acceptance is decided by an admin-triggered AI-assisted review pass that filters typos, profanity, slurs, personal-information patterns, and other unsuitable content; rejection is final but you may submit a different word any time.
• You grant InkSpaceX a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to include accepted words in the merged global dictionary and to distribute that dictionary to other users of the Service. This licence covers only the bare word — never the surrounding sentence, story, or other context, which we never collect on this path.
• The on-device dictionary cache distributed by the Service is provided "as-is" for spell-checking purposes only. You may not extract, redistribute, or use the merged global dictionary to train a third-party language model or otherwise build a competing service.

4. Acceptable use

InkSpaceX is a platform for writers and readers. Don't use it for anything that violates the law or harms other users. In particular, you may not, and may not allow any third party to:

• Post, upload, or share content that is unlawful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, libellous, fraudulent, deceptive, hateful, obscene, sexually explicit involving minors, or that incites violence or self-harm.
• Sexually exploit, abuse, or endanger minors in any way (this is a zero-tolerance area; we will report to NCMEC and law enforcement).
• Infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, moral right, right of publicity, or right of privacy.
• Impersonate another person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.
• Spam, phish, run pyramid schemes, or otherwise conduct deceptive practices.
• Upload malware, viruses, ransomware, or any code or material designed to disrupt, overload, or impair the Service or any other system.
• Try to gain unauthorised access to other users' accounts, to non-public APIs, to our servers, or to any third-party system through the Service.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service except under a written security-testing agreement with us. To report a vulnerability, email legal@inkspacex.com with the subject line "Security report".
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, including by sending unreasonable load, by tampering with rate-limit or anti-abuse mechanisms, or by automating actions that are intended to be human (likes, follows, signups).
• Crawl, scrape, harvest, or mine content from the Service except as expressly permitted in writing or via robots.txt and the public web feed for personal, non-commercial use.
• Use the Service or its data to train any third-party generative-AI / large-language-model system without our prior written consent. This includes "fine-tuning" datasets, retrieval indexes, and embeddings derived from scraped content.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service except as expressly permitted by us.
• Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices.
• Encourage or assist any of the above.

5. Reporting and moderation

If you see content or behaviour you believe violates these Terms, you can report it from inside the app (long-press a story or comment, then "Report") or by emailing support@inkspacex.com.

We may, at our reasonable discretion and without obligation, review content and accounts and take action that we consider proportionate, including:

• removing or hiding the content;
• limiting features (e.g., disabling publishing, messaging) for a period;
• warning, suspending, or terminating the account;
• preserving evidence and cooperating with law enforcement where required.

We use a mix of automated checks and human review. We try to apply rules consistently and to be proportionate, but we do not guarantee that every piece of bad content will be caught immediately, or that every action we take will be the one you would have chosen.

5.1 Appeals

If we take action against your content or account and you believe it was a mistake, you can appeal by replying to the notification email or writing to support@inkspacex.com within 30 days, explaining why. We will give your appeal a fresh look (where feasible by a different reviewer) and respond.

6. Copyright and DMCA

We respect intellectual property rights and will respond to clear, complete notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar regimes elsewhere.

To submit a notice, send an email to legal@inkspacex.com that includes:

1. a description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
2. a description of where the infringing material is on the Service (URLs are best);
3. your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email;
4. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law;
5. a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf;
6. your physical or electronic signature.

We will remove or disable access to material we determine to be infringing and may notify the user who posted it. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

If you believe content of yours was wrongly removed, you may submit a counter-notice with the equivalent information described in 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3).

7. Our intellectual property

Aside from Your Content and the open-source components listed in our acknowledgements, the Service — including the InkSpaceX name, logos, app, website, source code, design, layout, look-and-feel, and APIs — is owned by InkSpaceX and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use the Service in line with these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source from any part of the Service unless the licence accompanying that part expressly allows it.

The Service incorporates open-source software under their respective licences. Where required, those licences and notices are included in the application.

8. Subscriptions and paid features (if and when offered)

Parts of the Service may in the future be made available under a paid subscription. If you purchase a subscription:

• The price, billing period, and any free trial will be disclosed at the point of purchase before you confirm.
• Subscriptions auto-renew unless you cancel before the end of the current period.
• Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are governed by Apple's and Google's terms; you must manage and cancel those subscriptions through the platform's account settings.
• Refund policy follows the marketplace where you bought (Apple / Google) where applicable. For purchases made directly through us, refunds are at our reasonable discretion and as required by consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction.
• We may change prices for future billing periods; we will give you reasonable advance notice and, where required, your consent or the right to cancel before any change takes effect.

As of the Effective Date, no paid subscription is being charged. The "Subscription" screen inside the app is a UI placeholder and does not represent an active billing arrangement until activated and disclosed at purchase.

9. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party services that we list in the Privacy Policy (currently: Google Sign-In, Microsoft Azure OpenAI, Google Fonts on the web). Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of those third parties.

10. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all content provided through it are made available on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, with all faults and without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We disclaim, to the fullest extent allowed, all implied warranties — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy of data, and quiet enjoyment.

We do not warrant that:

• the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;
• defects will be corrected;
• the Service will meet your requirements or expectations;
• any AI-generated content will be accurate, original, or fit for any particular purpose;
• content posted by other users is accurate, lawful, or non-offensive.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty or right that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable consumer-protection law (for example, the Australian Consumer Law, the UK Consumer Rights Act, or comparable laws elsewhere).

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will InkSpaceX, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, or suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, content, or use — arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service, regardless of the legal theory and regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

The limitations in this section do not apply to: (i) liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law; (ii) our gross negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct; or (iii) death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless InkSpaceX and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any law or any rights of a third party. We may take exclusive control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us; in that case you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defences.

13. Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. See Privacy Policy §9.1 for the deletion procedure.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that:

• you have violated these Terms or applicable law;
• doing so is necessary to protect the safety, security, or integrity of the Service or our users;
• doing so is required by law or by a regulator;
• your account has been inactive for a long, clearly-communicated period;
• we are discontinuing the Service or a feature.

We will give you reasonable notice where feasible and where doing so does not create legal, security, or safety risk.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive — including §3.2 (licences for content already shared), §6 (DMCA), §7 (IP), §10 (disclaimers), §11 (limits), §12 (indemnification), §14 (governing law and disputes), and §15 (general).

14. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the country/state where InkSpaceX is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except that mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country in which you reside continue to apply.

Before bringing any formal claim, you agree to first contact us at legal@inkspacex.com and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. If we cannot resolve it, any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of our place of establishment, except where local consumer law gives you the non-waivable right to bring a claim in your home jurisdiction.

To the extent permitted by law, you and we agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only, and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action.

15. General

• Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. For material changes we will give at least 30 days' advance notice (in-app or by email) and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance. If you don't accept, stop using the Service and delete your account before the change takes effect.
• Notices. We may give notices to you in-app, by push, or by emailing the address on your account. You may give us notices at legal@inkspacex.com.
• Severability. If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect; the unenforceable part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate, to a successor in a corporate transaction, or as part of a sale of substantially all assets.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control (e.g., outages, natural disasters, network failures, governmental actions).
• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and InkSpaceX about the Service and supersede prior agreements on the same subject matter.
• Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.

16. Mobile platforms (Apple and Google)

If you obtained the Service from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and InkSpaceX only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. In the event of a product warranty failure, you may notify Apple, who will refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the Service or your use of it. If a third party claims that the Service infringes their intellectual property rights, InkSpaceX (not Apple) is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim. You represent that you are not in a U.S.-embargoed country and not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited parties. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

If you obtained the Service through the Google Play Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and InkSpaceX only, not Google, and that Google is not responsible for the Service. The Google Play Terms of Service govern your relationship with Google.
