another person’s Account or Subscription without our express written permission. You agree to

theft or misappropriation of your Account. We will not be liable for, and you shall indemnify us

4. Subscriptions and Payment Terms.
We offer various Subscription levels for access and use of our Services (e.g., free,
standard, Writerly Pro, and Writerly Teams) (“Subscription Levels”), which may have access to
different functions, features, or usage limits (e.g., word limits) related to our Services and may
be subject to various subscription fees (“Subscription Fees”) plus any other applicable taxes
and fees. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by us, the Subscription Levels and
associated Subscription Fees are as stated on our Platform. We retain the right to change such
Subscription Levels and Subscription Fees from time to time in our sole discretion, provided,
that such change will not apply to a current Subscription term, but may impact renewals. In
addition to the Subscription Fees available on our Platform, you acknowledge and agree that
certain overage fees are applicable based on the usage limits associated with such Subscription
Level (e.g., $1.00 per 1,000 words over usage limit).
Upon subscribing to a Subscription Level, you agree to pay the Subscription Fees
associated with your Subscription (including any overage fees), which may be established when
you place an order or upon registration or activation of your Subscription or Account. You may
place an order for a Subscription on our Platform. Any payment terms presented to you in
obtaining a Subscription are deemed part of these Terms of Service and are incorporated herein
by reference.
We may collect payments of Subscription Fees from you directly or through third-party
payment processors (e.g., Stripe), which may bill you through a payment account selected at
checkout or linked to your Account. Any payment processing by third-party payment processors
will be subject to the terms, conditions, and policies of such payment processors in addition to
these Terms of Service and our other Policies.
By providing a credit card or other acceptable payment method, you represent and
warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method, and you authorize us
(or our designated payment processors) to charge your payment method for the Subscription
Fees (and any usage overages). If your payment method cannot be verified, is invalid, or is
otherwise not acceptable, your Account or Subscription may be suspended or canceled. If we
do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. We reserve
the right to correct any errors or mistakes we (or our third-party payment processors) make in
the checkout process.
The Subscription Fees and payment terms for your Subscription or Account may consist
of recurring charges. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such
Subscription Fees have an initial and recurring payment feature, and you accept responsibility
for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES
(E.G., MONTHLY), DEPENDING ON YOUR SUBSCRIPTION LEVEL AND TERMS, WITHOUT
FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE
TERMINATED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD.
SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE COULD
REASONABLY ACT TO UPDATE OR TERMINATE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. YOU MAY
TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD THROUGH
THE ACCOUNT SETTINGS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT.
Your Subscription will automatically extend for successive renewal periods. For instance,
if you have purchased a monthly Subscription, your renewal period will renew each month at the
then-current non-promotional rate associated with such Subscription Level. You may change or
terminate your Subscription or Subscription Level through the Account settings associated with
your Account. If you do not want to continue to be charged on a recurring basis, you must
cancel or terminate your Subscription or Subscription Level before the end of the then-current
period. Your Subscription cannot be terminated before the end of the period for which you have
already paid, and except as expressly provided in these Terms of Service, we will not refund any
amounts you have already paid. If you terminate your Subscription or Subscription Level, you
may continue to use your Subscription until the end of your then-current term, and your
Subscription will not be renewed after the expiration of the then-current.
YOU MUST PROVIDE CORRECT, CURRENT, AND COMPLETE INFORMATION FOR
YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR
BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE, AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN
BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND
YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT
METHOD IS CANCELED OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF
SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT
OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE THROUGH THE
ACCOUNT SETTINGS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE
ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE
CHARGING YOU FOR ANY SUBSCRIPTION FEES ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT
UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS
OF SERVICE.
We may offer free trials of paid Subscriptions Levels for a limited period. If we offer you
such a trial, the specific terms of such trial will be provided at the time of offer and may be
accepted in accordance with those terms and these Terms of Service and our other Policies.
Unless otherwise provided by us in writing, trials are only available for Users who have not
previously held a paid Subscription Level. If you obtain a free tier, you may not create more than
one Account. If we believe you are not using the free tier in good faith, we may charge you
standard fees or stop providing access to the Services. By agreeing to a free trial Subscription,
you also agree to the associated Subscription Fees upon expiration of such free trial
subscriptions, and we (or our third-party payment processor) will charge your payment method
on a recurring basis for the applicable Subscription Fee at the expiration of such free trial
Subscription unless you cancel your Subscription prior to the expiration of such trial period.

license rights; - publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage us or any third-party;
- submit content that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening,

14. Binding Arbitration; Waiver of Litigation and Class Action Arbitration.
BY REGISTERING AN ACCOUNT OR ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES OR
PLATFORM YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION
LAWSUIT.
This Section 14 offers a streamlined way to resolve disputes between us and you if they
arise. We can resolve many of your concerns quickly by contacting us at support@writerly.ai.
If we cannot resolve your concern, you and us agree to be bound by the procedure in
this Section to resolve disputes between us. This Section is an agreement between you and us,
and applies to our respective agents, employees, successors, beneficiaries, and assigns. This
agreement to arbitrate evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal
Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
All disputes, claims, or controversies arising from or relating to these Terms of Service,
our other Policies, our Services, our marketing, or the relationship between you and us
("Disputes") shall be determined exclusively by binding arbitration. The only Disputes not
covered by this Section are claims (i) regarding the infringement, protection, or validity of our or
our licensors' trade secrets, copyright, trademark, or patent rights; (ii) if you reside in Australia,
to enforce a statutory consumer right under Australia consumer law; and (iii) brought in small
claims court (which shall be brought exclusively in Chattanooga, Tennessee).
You and us shall first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least 30 days
before initiating arbitration. The informal negotiations commence upon receipt of written notice
from one person to the other ("Notice of Dispute"). The Notice of Dispute must: (i) include the
full name and contact information of the complaining party; (ii) describe the nature and basis of
the claim or dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. We will send our Notice of
Dispute to your billing or email address. You will send your Notice of Dispute to: Writerly
Technology, Inc., Attn: Legal, 1033 Demonbreun St., Suite 300, Nashville, TN, 37203.
If we cannot resolve a Dispute informally, you or us may elect to have the Dispute finally
and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be
final and binding on the other.
The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA")
under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are
available at www.adr.org.
Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the
AAA Rules and, where appropriate and applicable, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The
arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or
online. The arbitrator shall decide in writing and shall provide a statement of reasons if
requested by either party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be
challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. You and us may litigate in court to compel arbitration,
to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the
award entered by the arbitrator. Arbitration will take place exclusively in Nashville, Tennessee.
YOU AND WRITERLY HEREBY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST
THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF
OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
The arbitrator shall not consolidate another person's claims with your claims and shall
not preside over any type of representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award
declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the
extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If this specific
Section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this agreement to arbitrate shall be
null and void.
15. Choice of Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
State of Tennessee, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.
16. Severability.
If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be invalid by any court having
competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining provisions of these Terms of Service, which shall remain in full force and effect.
17. No Waiver.
Failure by us to act on or enforce any provision of these Terms of Service shall not be
construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in these Terms of Service. No
waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be
construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance.
18. Entire Agreement.
These Terms of Service and our other Policies, constitute the sole and entire agreement
of you and Writerly concerning the subject matter of these Terms of Service and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both
written and oral, concerning the subject matter.
