By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using Ghostwriter ("the Software"), you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Software after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. The current version of these Terms is always available at this URL.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Ghostwriter-AI grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Ghostwriter solely for your personal or internal business purposes. This license does not include the right to sublicense, resell, redistribute, or create derivative works based on the Software.

All intellectual property rights in the Software, including but not limited to its code, design, branding, and documentation, are and remain the exclusive property of Ghostwriter-AI. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership rights to you. You may not copy, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Software.

The artificial intelligence market evolves rapidly. We expressly reserve the right to change, replace, suspend, or discontinue the underlying AI model or service provider used by Ghostwriter at any time, with or without notice, and for any reason. This includes, but is not limited to, switching between AI providers, upgrading to newer model versions, adjusting or removing API integrations, or ceasing support for a particular model entirely. We are not liable for any disruption, degradation in output quality, or loss of functionality resulting from such changes. Your continued use of the Software after any such change constitutes acceptance of the new configuration.

We strongly recommend that all users obtain their own personal API key directly from a reputable AI provider for the most reliable and consistent experience. Supported providers include:

Using your own API key gives you direct control over your AI access, usage limits, and billing, and insulates you from service changes on our end. The shared API key provided with the Software is offered as a convenience only and may be modified, throttled, or removed at any time.

You agree not to use the Software to:

THE SOFTWARE AND ALL RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. AI-GENERATED OUTPUT IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL AND PRODUCTIVITY PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON AS PROFESSIONAL, LEGAL, MEDICAL, OR FINANCIAL ADVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GHOSTWRITER-AI AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS GOODWILL, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ghostwriter-AI and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Software, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

We will issue a refund if the Software is demonstrably non-functional on your computer and a resolution cannot be provided, or for another valid reason, within 30 days of purchase. Refund requests must be submitted by contacting us at the address below. We reserve the right to deny refund requests that do not meet these criteria.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Software at any time and for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use the Software immediately ceases. Sections covering Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law survive any termination.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of the Software after any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

We take data privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. In compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable US privacy laws, this Privacy Policy outlines what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

We collect personal data that you provide voluntarily, such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or fill out a contact form. We also collect data about your usage of our website through cookies and analytics tools. We do not collect, store, or transmit the content of any AI prompts you send or receive through the Software.

We collect information when you register, make a purchase, subscribe to a newsletter, or otherwise voluntarily enter information on our site or through the Software.

We use your personal data to provide you with the products or services you have requested, process transactions, send periodic emails such as newsletters or updates, improve our website and Software, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When your data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

Your personal information is stored on secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of authorized personnel who are required to keep it confidential. All sensitive information transmitted between your browser and our site is encrypted via SSL/TLS technology. All payment transactions are processed through our payment gateway provider and are not stored on our servers.

We do not see, log, or store the content of prompts you send to or receive from AI systems through Ghostwriter. The Software connects directly to AI provider APIs on your behalf. Each AI provider has its own data usage policies — we encourage you to review those policies directly. Because the AI market changes rapidly, the specific provider used may change over time (see Section 4 of the Terms of Service above). We make no representations about how third-party AI providers handle your data.

Ghostwriter includes a shared API key for convenience. Because this key is shared across multiple users, we cannot guarantee the same level of privacy as a personal key. If complete privacy is important to you, we strongly recommend using your own personal API key from OpenAI, Google, or xAI. Only Ghostwriter supports the ability to use your own private API key for this reason.

Yes. Cookies are small files transferred to your device through your web browser that enable our systems to recognize your browser and remember certain information. We use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and to compile aggregate data about site traffic so we can offer better experiences in the future.

You can configure your browser to warn you before accepting cookies or to refuse them altogether. Note that disabling cookies may affect some features of our website.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties, except as required to provide the services you requested (e.g., payment processors) or as required by law. References to third-party AI providers (OpenAI, Google, xAI, etc.) on this site are provided for your convenience; those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

We honor Do Not Track signals. When a Do Not Track browser mechanism is in place, we do not plant additional tracking cookies or use behavioral advertising.

CalOPPA requires commercial websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy. In accordance with CalOPPA: users may visit our site anonymously; a link to this Privacy Policy appears on our home page; you will be notified of material Privacy Policy changes on this page; and you may request changes to your personal information by emailing us.

Our Software and website are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.

Should a data breach occur, we will notify affected users via email within 7 business days. We also support the Individual Redress Principle, which provides individuals the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data processors who fail to comply with the law.

We collect your email address to send information, respond to inquiries, and deliver updates or promotional content you have requested. In accordance with CAN-SPAM, we will not use false or misleading subject lines or sender addresses, we will identify messages as advertisements where applicable, we will include our physical address in emails, and we will honor all opt-out and unsubscribe requests promptly. To unsubscribe, follow the instructions at the bottom of any email we send you.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to restrict or object to processing, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.
