Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using Riters.club ("the Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement.
2. Platform Rules & The "Canon"
Riters.club is a collaborative storytelling platform. Contributions submitted and accepted via the "Make it Canon" intervention feature become a permanent, immutable part of the narrative timeline. Once a contribution is made canon, it cannot be edited or retracted by the original author to ensure the structural integrity of the branching stories.
3. User Identities and "Riter Keys"
Your identity on the platform is protected entirely by a cryptographic "Riter Key" issued upon account creation. You are solely responsible for securely storing this key. Riters.club has absolutely no capability to recover, reset, or retrieve a lost Riter Key. If you lose your key, you will permanently lose access to your pseudonym and all authorial rights tied to it.
4. Payments and Interventions
Certain features, such as "Make it Canon", require a financial intervention (payment). All payments are processed securely via Stripe. Payments for canon interventions are non-refundable once the narrative branch has been successfully established, as they permanently alter the state of the public story.
5. Content Moderation
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates our community standards, including but not limited to hate speech, illegal content, or harassment, without prior notice.
