Terms of Service

Effective October 11, 2026 · Writing Theory

Most terms of service are written to protect the company. These are written so a novelist can read them in five minutes and know exactly where they stand.

1. Who is agreeing to what

WikiDraft (at wikidraft.com) is made and run by Writing Theory, a sole proprietorship based in Wisconsin, United States. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use WikiDraft; we would rather lose a user than mislead one.

You must be at least 13 to use WikiDraft, and old enough to enter a contract where you live to buy a plan (or have a parent or guardian do it for you).

2. Your account

Keep your email address current and your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account. One person per account, please: a shared login means shared drafts, and we cannot tell your edits from a collaborator’s. If you think someone else has access to your account, change your password (which signs out every other device) and tell us.

3. Your work is yours

Everything you create in WikiDraft — every world, page, chapter, timeline, map, and uploaded image — belongs to you. We claim no ownership and no copyright in it, and no interest in how you publish, sell, or share it.

To run the service we need your permission to do a few mechanical things with your content: store it, back it up, render it on screen, index it so your own search and links work, and package it when you export. That is the whole list. This permission exists only so we can show your work to you, and it ends when you delete the content, except for the short time copies remain in backups.

We will never use your writing to train, prompt, or evaluate any AI system; never share it with AI companies; never use it in our marketing; and never read it except as the Privacy Policy describes.

In return, you promise that you have the right to upload what you upload. If you add a map or a portrait, it needs to be yours or licensed to you.

4. What you can’t do

Your stories can go to dark places. That is what fiction is for, and we will not police your themes. The lines are about real harm, not imagined harm:

If an account crosses those lines we may suspend or close it. Where it is safe and lawful to do so, we will tell you first and give you a chance to export your work.

5. Plans, payments, and the subscription with an end

Free trial. Every new account gets at least 14days with every feature (a promotion may offer more), and no card is needed to start. When the trial ends you pick a plan, or you don’t. Either way nothing is deleted.

Yearly plans. Writer is $60 per year and Saga is $120 per year. The pricing page lists exactly what each includes. Plans renew automatically every year until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your account page; access continues to the end of the period you paid for.

Lifetime access. You can buy it outright for $200, or earn it: your second yearly Saga payment makes WikiDraft yours for good, and the subscription ends there with nothing further to pay. Writer payments do not count toward lifetime, but you can upgrade to Saga at any time for $60; a fresh Saga year starts that day and counts as your first. Switching from Saga to Writer takes effect at your next renewal. Lifetime means everything WikiDraft offers, including future features, on wikidraft.com, for as long as the service exists.

If you stop paying. Your account becomes read-only. You can still open every page, read every chapter, and export everything, for as long as you like. Nothing is deleted, nothing is held for ransom, and a plan picks up right where you left off.

Payments.Our payment provider, Polar, processes every payment as the merchant of record, which means Polar is the seller for tax and receipt purposes and its buyer terms apply to the transaction itself. Prices are in US dollars; applicable taxes are added at checkout. We will give you at least 30 days’ notice before a price change affects a renewal.

Refunds. If WikiDraft is not for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment for a plan or for lifetime access and we will refund it in full. Renewals are not refunded once charged, so cancel before the renewal date if you do not want the next year; we show the date on your account page. Where the law where you live gives you more than this, you have that too.

Limits. Plans include the number of worlds and the image storage shown on the pricing page. We will tell you when you are near a limit; we do not delete work to enforce one.

6. Keeping your work safe

We back up the database every night to a second location and keep revision history and a trash can inside the product. We work hard to keep WikiDraft available and your work intact, and we will always let you export it. Even so, we cannot promise that any service will never go down or never lose data. Please export your work regularly, especially manuscripts, the way you would keep a copy of anything that matters.

7. Leaving, and if we ever shut down

You can delete your account at any time from the account page. Deletion is immediate and permanent, and it cancels any active subscription first.

If we ever have to shut WikiDraft down, we will give you at least 60days’ notice by email, keep export working the whole time, and refund any unused portion of a yearly plan. Your work will not disappear without warning.

8. If something you do gets us sued

This is the indemnity clause, and it only covers things that are your doing. If someone else brings a claim against Writing Theory because of your use of WikiDraft— most likely because you uploaded something you did not have the rights to, or used the service in a way section 4 forbids — you agree to cover the costs that claim creates for us, including reasonable legal fees, and to help us defend it. We will tell you promptly about any such claim and let you take part in the defense.

It does not apply to claims caused by our own mistakes, and it is not a way to shift the ordinary risks of running a business onto you. Write freely; this is about not being left holding the bill for someone else’s conduct.

9. The legal paragraphs

WikiDraft is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind beyond what these terms promise and what the law requires. To the fullest extent the law allows, Writing Theory is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total liability to you for anything arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Some places do not allow these limits, in which case they apply only as far as that law permits.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, United States. If we have a dispute, let’s talk first; email us and we will try to sort it out. If that fails, the courts of Wisconsin have jurisdiction, unless the law where you live says otherwise.

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about WikiDraft.

10. Changes

We may update these terms as the product grows. For changes that matter we will email account holders and post a notice in the app at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use WikiDraft after that means you accept the new version. The promises in the short version at the top are the foundation of this product, and we do not intend to walk them back.
