Terms of Service

1What the Service is

The Service is a web page that takes text you type, paste, or open from a file and draws it as handwriting on a picture of a page. You can then save the result as a PNG image or a PDF.

Everything happens inside your browser. We do not receive, store, or process your text. There are no accounts and there is no server that holds your work. See the Privacy Policy for details.

2Your responsibility for how you use the output — read this part

The Service is deliberately good at looking like real handwriting. That makes it useful, and it also makes it possible to misuse. The line is simple:

In particular

• Do not use the Service to misrepresent who wrote something, or how it was written, where that is prohibited. If an institution requires work to be handwritten by you personally, or requires you to declare how it was produced, submitting output from this Service as your own handwriting may break its rules — and that is on you, not on us. Many universities treat this kind of thing as academic misconduct, with real consequences.
• Check your institution’s academic integrity, assessment, and submission rules before you submit anything made here. If you are unsure whether it is allowed, ask your institution, not us. We cannot and do not give you permission to break their rules.
• Do not use the Service to create anything that imitates a document meant to be genuine. That includes forging or altering signatures, identity documents, certificates, marksheets, transcripts, medical documents or prescriptions, legal or court filings, financial records, letters that appear to come from someone else, or anything intended to deceive a person or an organisation into believing a document is authentic when it is not.
• Do not use the Service to impersonate a real person, including by imitating their handwriting or signature.
• Do not use the Service for anything unlawful under the laws that apply to you, including under India’s Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions on forgery and cheating.
• Do not use the Service to produce harassing, threatening, or hateful material, or content that sexualises children.
• Do not attempt to break, overload, or interfere with the Site, remove or work around a licence check, or resell access to the Service as if it were yours.

We do not monitor what you write, because we cannot — your text never reaches us. That means enforcement of this section is largely a matter of your own honesty. It also means that if something goes wrong for you because of how you used the output, we had no way to know and no way to stop it. The consequences of how you use the output are yours.

What we built this for

Legitimate uses we built this for include: producing readable handwritten-style notes, drafts, and study material; making a printed page look handwritten for design, art, teaching or presentation purposes; accessibility, where writing by hand is painful or impossible and the recipient permits a handwritten-style document; and any use your institution or recipient has allowed.

3Your licence to use the Service

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for your own purposes, subject to these terms. You may use it for commercial work unless a specific paid tier says otherwise.

You may not copy the Service itself, or its bundled paper images and template data, to build a competing product, and you may not redistribute the app files as your own.

4Paid licences (when they exist)

At the time of writing the Service is free. If we introduce a paid licence:

• It will be a one-time purchase of a licence key unless the purchase page clearly says otherwise.
• The key is personal to you. Do not publish it or share it.
• Payment will be taken by a third-party payment processor ([[PLACEHOLDER: payment processor name — undecided]]), and that processor’s own terms apply to the payment itself.
• Prices, taxes, and what is included will be shown on the purchase page before you pay. Prices may change for future purchases; a change does not retroactively affect a licence you already bought.
• Refunds are covered by the separate Refunds and Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these terms.

5Who owns what

• You own your input and your output. The text you write remains yours. The handwritten pages, PNGs and PDFs you generate are yours to use, publish, print, and sell, subject to section 2 and to you actually having the rights to the underlying text. We claim no ownership of and no licence over anything you make — which is easy for us, because we never receive it.
• We own the Service. The app, its code, its design, its traced template data, and its name and branding remain ours. The paper photographs bundled with the app were taken by us and are our own work.
• The handwriting typefaces used by the Service are third-party fonts, used under their own licences ([[PLACEHOLDER: confirm the licence terms of each font used — the current set is Google Fonts, most under the SIL Open Font License]]). Those licences allow the fonts to be used to make documents like yours.

6No warranty

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, with no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

We do not promise that:

• the Service will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free;
• the output will look the way you expect, print correctly, or be accepted by anyone;
• your text will be laid out, spelled, hyphenated or paginated correctly — check the output yourself before you rely on it;
• the Service will keep working in future browser versions, or continue to exist.

7Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent the law allows:

• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss, or for lost profits, lost marks, lost grades, disciplinary action, lost opportunity, lost data, or reputational harm, arising from your use of the Service.
• We are specifically not liable for any consequence imposed on you by an institution, employer, or authority because of how you used the output, including academic penalties.
• Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you actually paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or [[PLACEHOLDER: nominal liability cap amount and currency, e.g. INR 1,000]]. If you have paid us nothing, our liability is limited to nothing.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded — for example liability for fraud, or rights you have as a consumer under Indian consumer law or, if you are in the EU/UK, under mandatory local consumer law.

8Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of how you used the Service — particularly a claim about misrepresentation, forgery, impersonation, or infringement of someone’s rights in the text you used — you agree to cover our reasonable losses and legal costs arising from it.

9Third-party services

The Service is hosted on Cloudflare. It uses Cloudflare’s cookieless Web Analytics for everyone, and Google Analytics only for visitors who press Allow on the consent banner. Fonts are served from our own domain. It sets no cookies unless you allow them, and uses no other third-party service. We are not responsible for those providers’ own acts. See the Privacy Policy.

10Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time; just close the tab. There is nothing to cancel and no account to delete.

We may suspend or end your access, or withdraw the Service entirely, at any time — including if you breach these terms, or if we simply stop running it. If we withdraw a paid Service permanently while your licence is still current, we will offer a pro-rata refund or another fair remedy.

Sections 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11 survive the end of this agreement.

11Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of [[PLACEHOLDER: governing law jurisdiction — e.g. India]], and the courts of [[PLACEHOLDER: city and state whose courts have exclusive jurisdiction]] have exclusive jurisdiction, except that:

• if you are a consumer in the EU/UK, you keep the right to bring a claim in your own country’s courts where local law gives you that right;
• either of us may seek an urgent injunction wherever necessary.

Before starting a formal dispute, please email us at [[PLACEHOLDER: general contact email address]] and give us a fair chance to sort it out.

12Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version. If a change is significant we will note it on the Site. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

13Everything else

• If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
• If we do not enforce something immediately, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.
• These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Refunds Policy, are the whole agreement between us about the Service.
• You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours if the Service changes hands, and will say so on the Site.
