Terms of Service

1. What Bylinewise does

Bylinewise writes a researched draft of an article in your voice. It reads sources, links every factual claim of the draft to a passage of a source or to what you told it, and shows you the claims that need your decision. A draft is a draft: Bylinewise never publishes anything and never emails your subscribers. You publish, and you are the author of what you publish.

2. Your account

• You must be 18 or older. One person has one account.
• You sign in with an email link or with Google. Keep access to that email and your API keys to yourself.
• You are responsible for what is done with your account and your keys. Revoke a key as soon as it may have leaked.

3. Your texts and your voice

• You upload only texts you wrote or have the right to use, and you build a voice only of yourself or of someone who agreed to it.
• Your texts, your voice and your articles stay yours. We use them only to serve your account and never to train models.
• You can export an author and delete an author or your account at any time; we erase the data within 30 days.
• Copies of the pages we read are kept for 90 days, to check the quotes of your articles.

4. Checking the draft

Every claim is linked to a passage of a source as it read on the day we read it, or accepted by you. That is not a promise that the facts are true. Before you publish, read the draft, decide every claim marked for your decision and check anything you are unsure of. Where the law asks you to disclose that a text was generated with AI, you do so.

5. Price and payment

• You see the price of an article before it starts. The amount is reserved at the start and charged only when the article succeeds; a failed or cancelled article is free.
• Learning your voice is free.
• A subscription can be cancelled in one click and we remind you before it renews. Articles you bought separately do not expire.

6. What you may not do

Use the service only as the Acceptable Use Policy allows. We may suspend an account that breaks it.

7. Changes

When these terms change, we ask you to accept the new edition the next time you sign in.
