Terms of Use

1. What the desk does

Plotwright lets you write or dictate a premise, shape it into acts and scene cards, edit those cards and your characters, ask an optional AI coach about a scene, gather mood board pictures, have the outline read aloud and export it as Markdown text. Plotwright plans stories; it is not a manuscript generator, and it does not publish anything on your behalf.

2. What it is not

• Not a writing service that produces finished prose.
• Not an editor, agent or publisher, and not legal advice about copyright, contracts or publishing.
• Not a backup service. There is no account or cloud copy; your work lives on your iPhone.

3. AI suggestions

AI features are off until you give consent and can be switched off in Settings at any time. When you use them, the text described in our Privacy Policy is sent to DeepSeek, a third-party provider, which processes it under its own terms and policy.

AI output may be unoriginal, inaccurate, inconsistent with your story or similar to existing works. You decide what to keep. You are responsible for reviewing anything you adopt and for making sure your finished work does not infringe anyone else's rights. Do not submit content you have no right to use, or content that is unlawful, harassing or sexually exploits minors.

4. Your stories

Your premises, outlines, notes, characters and pictures remain yours. We claim no ownership and do not receive them. You give DeepSeek only what you choose to send through the AI features. You are responsible for having the rights to images you add to a mood board.

5. Acceptable use

Do not reverse engineer, extract or misuse the app or its built-in AI access, attempt to send automated or excessive requests through it, or use it to break the law.

6. Purchases

Plotwright has no in-app purchases. Any download charge, refund or family sharing is handled by Apple under the App Store terms.

7. Apple

These terms are between you and the developer of Plotwright, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its support, and has no warranty obligation beyond any required by law. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them. Your use must also follow the App Store Terms and Conditions.

8. Changes and availability

We may update, change or discontinue features, including the AI coach, which depends on a third-party service that can be unavailable. Offline, saved outlines and the sample stay usable.

9. No warranty

Plotwright is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we do not promise the app will be error-free or that your local data cannot be lost.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for loss of stories, notes or pictures, arising from your use of Plotwright. Nothing here limits rights you have under laws that cannot be waived.

11. Ending use

You can stop at any time by deleting the app, which also removes its local data. We may stop offering the app or suspend access to the AI features if they are misused.

12. Updates to these terms

We may revise these terms; the effective date above will change when we do. Continuing to use Plotwright after an update means you accept the revised terms.
