Terms of Service

Effective date: October 17, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Narrative Shift Pathway Studio ("NSP Studio," "we," "us" or "our"). They cover your use of Scriptorial, our web app for planning, writing and publishing books (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. Who can use Scriptorial

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to create an account and subscribe. If you use Scriptorial for a business, you confirm you're allowed to accept these Terms for that business.

2. Your account

• Give us an accurate email address and keep your password private.
• You're responsible for everything that happens under your account. Tell us right away at hello@nspstudio.net if you think someone else has used it.
• An account is for one person. Don't share, resell or transfer your account or your login.

3. Plans, billing and renewal

• Scriptorial has a free plan and a paid Pro Author plan. Pro is currently $27 USD per month or $197 USD per year. The price you pay is shown at checkout.
• Pro renews automatically at the end of each monthly or yearly billing period, and your payment method is charged the then-current price, until you cancel.
• Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details.
• We may change prices for future billing periods. We'll tell you by email before a change affects your subscription, and you can cancel before it takes effect.

4. Cancelling

• You can cancel anytime in Settings, Subscription, Manage or cancel subscription, or by emailing hello@nspstudio.net.
• When you cancel, you keep Pro until the end of the billing period you've already paid for. Your account then moves to the free plan. Your projects and writing stay in your account.
• Payments are not refunded for partial billing periods. See our Refund Policy.

5. AI credits

• AI features use credits. One credit equals $1 USD of AI usage, measured by the length of each request and response. The app shows an estimate before the larger actions.
• Pro members are topped up to 10 credits once a month. Unused monthly credits don't add up beyond that top-up.
• When your balance runs out, AI features pause until your next top-up. Credits have no cash value, can't be transferred, and aren't refundable.

6. Your writing is yours

• You keep ownership of everything you write, upload or create in Scriptorial, including text the AI drafts for you ("Your Content"). You may publish and sell it however you like, with no credit or royalty owed to us.
• You give us only the permission we need to store, process and display Your Content so the Service works for you, including sending relevant parts of it to our AI provider when you use an AI feature.
• Only upload material you have the right to use. You're responsible for checking your finished work for copyright, trademark and accuracy issues before you publish.

7. AI output

AI-generated drafts, suggestions and checks can be wrong, incomplete or similar to existing works. Review and edit everything before you rely on it or publish it. AI features are writing tools, not professional, legal or publishing advice.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, resell or rent the Service itself, or offer it to others as your own tool;
• reverse engineer the Service, or try to get around its payment, credit, sign-in or security systems;
• access another user's account or data, or use automated scripts to overload the Service or pull data from it;
• use the Service to create unlawful content, content that infringes someone else's rights, or content that exploits minors;
• use the Service in a way that breaks any law or a publishing platform's rules.

9. Our property

Scriptorial itself belongs to us: its software, design, branding, templates and documentation. Apart from your right to use the Service under these Terms, you get no rights to it.

10. Availability and changes

• We work to keep Scriptorial running, but we don't guarantee it will always be available or error-free.
• We may improve, change or remove features over time. Keep your own backups of important work using the export options in Settings.

11. Ending your account

• You can stop using Scriptorial at any time. To have your account and data deleted, email hello@nspstudio.net.
• We may suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, misuse the Service, or reverse a payment through a chargeback.

12. Disclaimer

Scriptorial is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or business opportunities. Our total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

14. Indemnity

You agree to cover us for claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) caused by Your Content, the work you publish, or your breach of these Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, please email us so we can try to resolve it informally. Any dispute that isn't resolved will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Albany County, Wyoming, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we'll change the effective date above, and for significant changes we'll email you or show a notice in the app. Continuing to use Scriptorial after a change means you accept the updated Terms. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.
