Terms of Service

Effective date: October 6, 2026 · Version 1.0

Operated by HUMANIZER.COM LLC, a New York limited liability company, PO Box 724, Lynbrook, NY 11563, USA. Prior versions of these Terms are available on request from ed@humanizer.com.

Key points (a plain-language summary, not part of the legal terms)

  • Who we are. HUMANIZER.COM LLC, a New York company. These Terms are a contract between you and us.
  • Adults only, and not everywhere. You must be 18 or older. We do not offer the Services in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, mainland China, Russia, Belarus, Egypt, or places under comprehensive US sanctions. Paid plans are not available in Quebec.
  • Your Content stays yours. We use it only to run, secure and provide the Services to you and as you direct. We do not use Your Content or Outputs to train or fine-tune AI models.
  • AI can be wrong. Outputs may contain errors or change your meaning. Our AI detector gives a probabilistic estimate that can be wrong, including false positives on human writing. Do not use it as the only basis for any decision about a person.
  • You are responsible for how you use Outputs. That includes following the rules of your school, employer, publisher or platform about AI use and disclosure. We do not promise that any detector will or will not flag any text.
  • Plans renew automatically until you cancel. Passes do not renew. You can cancel at any time by emailing us. See Section A11 and the Refund and Subscription Policy.
  • Disputes. New York law. Courts in Nassau County, New York (or the federal court for the Eastern District of New York). We try to resolve problems informally first. No class actions. No mandatory arbitration. Small-claims court stays available.
  • Desktop App. We will publish the source code of the Dreegle desktop app under the AGPL-3.0-only license. The app keeps your archive on your device by default, but data leaves your device in the situations listed in Part B.
  • Questions? Email ed@humanizer.com or call (516) 809-8445.

PART A: CORE TERMS

A1. About these Terms

Short version: These Terms are the agreement for all our Services. Some Services have extra terms.

A1.1 Who we are. The Services are operated by HUMANIZER.COM LLC, a New York limited liability company, PO Box 724, Lynbrook, NY 11563, USA ("we", "us", "our"). "You" means the person using the Services and, if you sign up for an organization, that organization.

A1.2 What the Services are. "Services" means all of the following: the studio at studio.humanizer.com ("Studio"); the humanizer.com website; the downloadable desktop application called Dreegle (the "Desktop App"); post-social.com ("Post-Social"); gravity-press.com and gravitypress.org ("Gravity Press"); our API and MCP server at mcp.humanizer.com and our older API at api.humanizer.com (together, the "API"); and our related websites, documentation and support.

A1.3 Defined words. "Your Content" means anything you upload, import, paste, type, publish or otherwise submit to the Services. "Outputs" means text, images or other material the Services produce at your request. "Model Providers" means the third-party companies that host or run AI models for the Services (see our Subprocessor List). "Derived Data" means indexes, embeddings (numeric representations of text), summaries and similar data we create from Your Content inside your account so that features you use can work. "Detector" means any feature that estimates whether text resembles AI-generated text. "Plan" means a paid subscription. "Pass" means a paid, fixed-length, non-renewing access period.

A1.4 What makes up the agreement. These Terms include:

  • Part A (these core terms);
  • the supplement for the Service you use (Part B for the Desktop App, Part C for the API and MCP, Part D for Studio cloud storage);
  • our Supplemental Terms, which add rules for Post-Social and Gravity Press and describe how reports, enforcement and appeals work across all of the Services, and apply when you use those Services; and
  • the following policies, which are part of the agreement: our Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy (https://gravitypress.org/privacy/), Refund and Subscription Policy, and Copyright and Content Complaint Policy (https://gravitypress.org/copyright/). We also publish an AI Use and Transparency Notice that explains how AI features work with your data, and a Cookie and Local Storage Notice, Subprocessor List, Sanctions and Export Statement, Security and Vulnerability Disclosure Policy and Accessibility Statement. Those pages describe our practices and do not add to your obligations, except that the Sanctions and Export Statement sets out the places where the Services are not offered and what you confirm.

Any of these documents that is not yet posted on our websites is available on request from ed@humanizer.com.

A1.5 If documents conflict. For a particular Service, the supplement (and, for Post-Social, Gravity Press and reports and appeals, the Supplemental Terms) controls over Part A, and Part A controls over the policies, except that the Privacy Policy controls on how we handle personal information. Nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived.

A2. Accepting the Terms, and changes

Short version: You agree by creating an account, by clicking to agree, or by using the Services. If we make a material change, we tell you at least 30 days ahead and you can cancel.

A2.1 How you accept. You accept these Terms and confirm that you are 18 or older when you create an account, when you click or tap to agree where we ask you to, or when you use the Services, whichever comes first. If you buy a Plan, you also agree to its automatic renewal as described in Section A11.

A2.2 If you use the Services without an account. Some parts of the Services (for example, reading published works on Post-Social) are available without an account. If you use them, you agree to these Terms for that use. If you do not agree, do not use them.

A2.3 If you do not agree. Do not create an account or use the Services.

A2.4 Changes to these Terms.

  • Material changes. A change is material if it reduces your rights, increases what you pay, or changes how we use Your Content or your personal information. We will post a material change on this page at least 30 days before it takes effect, and we may also tell you by email or by a notice in the Services. If you do not agree, you may stop using the Services and cancel any Plan before the change takes effect, and we will refund the unused part of any prepaid fees for the period after the change takes effect. If you keep using the Services after the effective date, you accept the change, except that a change that reduces your rights applies to you only after you agree to it.
  • Data use. We will not apply any change that expands how we use Your Content or your personal information to data we collected before the change unless you opt in.
  • Other changes. We may make non-material changes (such as clarifications, fixes, new features, or changes required by law) effective when posted. We may make a change effective sooner when needed to comply with law or to protect the security of the Services, and we will explain why.
  • Where to find versions. Each version carries a date and version number. Earlier versions are available on request from ed@humanizer.com.

A3. Who can use the Services

Short version: You must be 18+. We do not offer the Services in some places. Please do not use them there, including through a VPN.

A3.1 Age. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) to use the Services. The Services are not directed to children or teenagers. If we learn that someone under 18 is using the Services, we will suspend the account, delete personal information as described in our Privacy Policy, and refund unused prepaid fees. We do not verify age; we rely on your confirmation.

A3.2 Authority. If you sign up on behalf of an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind it. In that case, the organization is the customer and "you" includes it.

A3.3 Places where the Services are not offered. We do not offer the Services to, and the Services are not intended for use by, people who live in or are located in:

  • the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland;
  • mainland China (this does not include Hong Kong or Macau), Russia, Belarus, or Egypt;
  • Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Crimea, so-called Donetsk People's Republic, or so-called Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine; or
  • any other country or region that becomes subject to comprehensive United States sanctions or an embargo.

We may block access from these places. This list is a description of where we choose to operate, not a statement about what is lawful for you. Do not use a VPN, proxy or other method to hide your location in order to use the Services from these places. Our Sanctions and Export Statement repeats this list and shows where free and paid use are available.

A3.4 Where paid plans are available. Paid Plans and Passes are available only in the places and for the payment methods shown at checkout. Paid Plans and Passes are not currently available to people located in Quebec, Canada. We may add or remove places over time. If we remove a place where you have an active Plan, we will tell you and refund the unused part of the prepaid fee.

A3.5 Local law. You are responsible for making sure your use of the Services is lawful where you are.

A4. Your account and security

Short version: One person per account. Keep your sign-in and keys safe and tell us if something goes wrong.

A4.1 Give us accurate information and keep it up to date. Your email address is your account identifier. You sign in through a third-party sign-in provider that we support; you must keep that provider account secure.

A4.2 One person per account. Do not share your account, sell or transfer it, or create multiple accounts to get around limits or enforcement.

A4.3 You are responsible for what happens under your account and under any keys or tokens we issue to you, unless it results from our failure to use reasonable security. Tell us promptly at ed@humanizer.com (subject line "Security") if you think your account or keys have been compromised. We may ask you to re-verify your identity or reset credentials.

A4.4 We may apply rate limits and anti-abuse controls to free and paid use.

A5. Using the Services

Short version: We give you a limited right to use the Services for yourself or your organization, within your Plan's limits.

A5.1 License to you. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Services for your own personal use or your organization's internal business use, within the limits of your Plan. This does not limit any rights you have in open-source code under its license (see Part B).

A5.2 Limits. Features, usage allowances and limits differ by Plan or Pass and are described in the Services or at checkout. A usage allowance may, once you reach it, switch some features to a lower-cost model or pause them until your next billing period. We do not meter use that runs on your own provider keys.

A5.3 What we keep. The Services, our software (other than as stated in Part B), our system instructions, our detection and analysis methods, the user interface, and aggregated service statistics that do not include Your Content belong to us and our licensors.

A6. Your Content

Short version: You own Your Content. We use it only to run, secure and provide the Services to you and as you direct. We do not train AI models on it.

A6.1 Ownership. As between you and us, you own Your Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership of it to us.

A6.2 Your promise about Your Content. You promise that you have the rights needed to submit Your Content and to let us use it as these Terms describe, and that submitting it, and our use of it as described here, will not violate any law, any contract or confidentiality duty you owe, or anyone's rights (including copyright and privacy rights).

A6.3 The narrow license you give us. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, transmit and display Your Content, and to create Derived Data from it, only as needed to:

  • operate, maintain and provide the Services to you and as you direct (including sending it to Model Providers to produce the Outputs you request);
  • provide support you ask for;
  • keep the Services secure and prevent abuse and fraud; and
  • comply with law and respond to valid legal process.

We may let our service providers (such as hosting and Model Providers) exercise these rights on our behalf, only for these purposes. The license lasts as long as the content is in the Services, plus a short period for backups and for the retention described in the Privacy Policy (Sections 3.5 and 8 of the Privacy Policy). It does not allow us to sell Your Content, use it for advertising or marketing, publish it, or use it to train models.

A6.4 No training. We do not use Your Content or Outputs to train or fine-tune any AI model. We do not authorize our Model Providers to use Your Content or Outputs to train their models for our account. Model Providers process Your Content on our behalf under their own terms, which govern what they do with it. For example, Cloudflare currently states that it does not use customer content to train the AI models available on Workers AI; that is Cloudflare's statement, and we do not control it. If you use your own provider key (see Section A9), your provider's terms apply to what you send through it, and this Section does not cover that provider. We will not change this Section in a way that allows training on Your Content without your prior opt-in, and we will not apply such a change to data we already hold.

A6.5 Other limited uses that need your choice. If you choose to send us feedback, a bug report, or an excerpt you flag for debugging or improvement, we may use what you send for that purpose. That use is separate for each submission, is optional, and you can ask us to stop. Feedback in the sense of Section A16.3 is not Your Content.

A6.6 Human review. We do not routinely read Your Content. We may access specific content to investigate abuse or security incidents, to provide support you request, or to meet legal duties. We may use automated tools to check content for safety and abuse, and we may remove content or refuse to process it.

A6.7 Other people's information. Your Content may include information about other people, such as names, messages, contact details or private conversations. You must have the right to submit it. Do not submit information about other people that you are not entitled to share, do not submit sensitive information about others (such as health, financial, government ID, or children's information), and remove or redact what you do not need to send. We will help you remove information if you contact us. See Part D for imports.

A6.8 Derived Data. Derived Data is Your Content for purposes of these Terms. We use it only for your account and the purposes in Section A6.3, and delete it when you delete the content it came from, subject to the retention periods in the Privacy Policy.

A6.9 Deleting your content. You may delete content you have stored in the Services where the Services give you that option, and you may ask us to delete content or close your account (see Part D for how and when).

A7. Outputs

Short version: As between us and you, you own Outputs, but we make no promises that they are unique, original or copyrightable, and you are responsible for how you use them.

A7.1 Ownership. As between you and us, and to the extent allowed by law, you own the Outputs created for you, and we assign to you any rights we may have in them. Some Outputs are produced using your own provider key or third-party services; the provider's terms may say more about those Outputs.

A7.2 No promises about Outputs. We do not promise that Outputs are:

  • unique (the Services may produce the same or similar Outputs for other people);
  • original or protected by copyright (under current US law, material generated purely by AI may not be protected by copyright);
  • accurate, complete or appropriate for your purpose; or
  • free of third-party rights.

A7.3 Your responsibility. You are responsible for reviewing Outputs and for deciding whether and how to use them, including clearing any rights before you publish them. You are responsible for following the rules of any school, employer, publisher, client, platform or other recipient about the use and disclosure of AI tools (see Section A8.4).

A7.4 Competing models. You may not use Outputs or the Services to develop or train AI models or text-rewriting or AI-detection products that compete with ours. This does not stop you from using Outputs for your own writing and for personal evaluation of the Services.

A8. AI features: limits and your responsibility

Short version: AI output can be wrong. The detector is an estimate. Review everything. You are responsible for how you use it.

A8.1 Outputs can be wrong. The Services use AI models. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, offensive or out of date. Rewriting tools may change the facts, quotations, citations, numbers or meaning of your text, including legal, medical or financial statements. Review every Output before you rely on it, publish it or send it to anyone.

A8.2 The Detector is an estimate. The Detector gives a probabilistic estimate of how much text resembles AI-generated text. It is not proof of who or what wrote anything. It can produce false positives (flagging human writing as AI) and false negatives, and detectors of this kind may be less reliable for some kinds of writing, including writing by people who are not native speakers of the language, short texts, and formal or technical text. We do not publish accuracy figures for the Detector. Results may differ between detectors, between versions, and over time.

A8.3 Not for decisions about people. Do not use the Detector or any Output as the sole or main basis for any decision about a person, including academic misconduct or grading, discipline, hiring, promotion or firing, admissions, immigration, credit, housing, insurance, healthcare or legal decisions. If you use the Detector on someone else's writing, a qualified human must review the matter and the person affected should be told and given a chance to respond. We are not responsible for decisions you or others make using the Detector or Outputs.

A8.4 Rules about AI use are your responsibility. Our tools are designed for writing refinement and voice: editing your own drafts, working on style, and reducing stilted phrasing. We do not promise that any text will or will not be flagged by any AI detector, now or in the future, and passing one detector says nothing about another. You are solely responsible for complying with the rules of your school, employer, publisher, client, platform or other recipient about the use of AI tools and about disclosing AI assistance, and with any law or contract that requires disclosure. Do not use the Services to violate academic-integrity rules, to submit work as your own where that is prohibited, or to misrepresent who wrote something where disclosure is required. We may suspend or end accounts connected with reports of misuse.

A8.5 No professional advice. The Services do not provide legal, medical, financial, academic or other professional advice, and are not a substitute for a human editor or a qualified professional.

A8.6 AI is not a defense. You remain responsible for what you do with the Services. Saying that an AI system acted on its own is not an excuse for a breach of these Terms or the law.

A9. Third-party models, services and your own keys

Short version: We use outside AI and infrastructure providers. If you use your own provider key, that provider's terms govern what you send through it.

A9.1 Our providers. The Services run on third-party infrastructure and AI models. Our Model Providers are currently Cloudflare and DigitalOcean. We do not currently send requests to other AI companies, such as OpenAI or Anthropic, using our own accounts; those companies receive your content only if you connect your own key (Section A9.2). We list our service providers and what they do in the Subprocessor List. Some models are open-weight models released under their own licenses and use policies; those licenses and policies may restrict how Outputs can be used, and you agree not to use the Services in ways that violate the restrictions we pass on to you in our Acceptable Use Policy. We may replace or remove any model or provider at any time. We do not promise that any model or provider will be available.

A9.2 Bring your own key. Some features let you connect your own account or key with a third-party provider ("BYOK"). If you do: (a) you are responsible for that account, its fees, and its terms; (b) content you send through your key goes to that provider under its terms, and Section A6.4 does not cover that provider; (c) we store your key in encrypted form so the Services can use it on your behalf, and you can delete it at any time; and (d) we are not responsible for the provider's services or for charges it makes to you.

A9.3 Third-party services and links. The Services may link to or work with third-party services (for example, Stripe for payments, sign-in providers, and AI clients you connect through MCP). We do not endorse them, and their terms and privacy practices apply to your use of them.

A9.4 Not affiliated. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Turnitin, GPTZero, or any school or AI-detection company. Their names belong to their owners and are used only to identify their products.

A10. Acceptable use

Short version: Use the Services lawfully and decently. The Acceptable Use Policy has the full list.

A10.1 You must follow our Acceptable Use Policy. In short, you may not use the Services to:

  • break the law or someone's rights;
  • create, store or share child sexual abuse material or sexualized content involving minors (we report apparent child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children), or intimate images of anyone without their consent;
  • harass, threaten, or promote hate or violence;
  • commit fraud, phishing, spam or impersonation, or deceive people about who or what they are talking to where disclosure is required;
  • spread malware or attack, probe, overload or bypass the security or limits of the Services;
  • scrape or extract the Services automatically (outside the API), reverse engineer the Services (other than open-source code as permitted by its license), resell the Services, or use Outputs to train competing models;
  • submit content you have no right to submit, or other people's personal information you have no right to submit;
  • evade sanctions or export controls;
  • use the Detector or Outputs for the high-stakes decisions about people described in Section A8.3, or for hiring or employee screening; or
  • use the Services in violation of the usage policies of the Model Providers that we pass on in the Acceptable Use Policy.

A10.2 We may investigate suspected violations and take action under Section A13.

A10.3 Security research. If you find a security problem, please report it to ed@humanizer.com with "Security report" in the subject line, and give us reasonable time to fix it. Do not access other people's data, degrade the Services, or demand payment.

A11. Plans, billing, passes and automatic renewal

Short version: If you buy a Plan, it renews automatically until you cancel. Passes do not renew. You can cancel at any time. We give 30 days' notice of price changes.

Automatic renewal: what you need to know

  • What you buy. The Plan name, price, billing period, and what is included are shown at checkout before you pay.
  • It renews automatically. Unless you cancel, your Plan renews at the end of each billing period for another period of the same length, and we charge your payment method the then-current price plus any applicable tax. Your renewal date is the same day of the month (or year) as your first purchase, unless the checkout page says otherwise.
  • How to cancel. Email ed@humanizer.com with "Cancel my Plan" in the subject line, or use the billing page in your account where we offer one. Cancelling does not require a phone call or chat.
  • When cancelling takes effect. You will not be charged again. Your paid access continues until the end of the billing period you already paid for.
  • Refunds. See Section A12 and the Refund and Subscription Policy.
  • Price changes. We will give you at least 30 days' notice before any price increase affects you (Section A11.6).
  • Passes do not renew. A Pass is a one-time purchase for a fixed period and never converts to a Plan.

A11.1 Prices and currency. Prices are in US dollars, shown before you pay, and exclude tax unless the checkout page says otherwise (see A11.7).

A11.2 Payments. Payments are processed by Stripe (or by another payment partner shown at checkout). We do not receive or store your full card number. By buying, you authorize us and our payment partner to charge your payment method for the amount shown and for each renewal of a Plan until you cancel. You promise the payment method is yours to use.

A11.3 Passes. A Pass gives you access to the features described at checkout for the period shown (for example, one day or seven days), starting when you buy it. A Pass does not renew, and we will not charge you again unless you buy another one.

A11.4 Your records. You can ask us at any time for a copy of your Plan terms, the cancellation policy and how to cancel, and we will send them to you in a form you can keep.

A11.5 Reminders. If you have an annual Plan, we will remind you before it renews, between 15 and 45 days before the renewal date. We will also remind every Plan subscriber, including monthly subscribers, of their Plan and how to cancel at least once a year.

A11.6 Price and Plan changes. We may change prices, Plan features or usage allowances. We will give you at least 30 days' notice before a price increase or other material change to a Plan affects you, and the notice will explain how to cancel. A price increase applies only from the first renewal that starts at least 30 days after the notice. If you cancel before that renewal, you will not be charged the new price. If you are charged a new price and cancel within 14 days after the notice date or the charge (whichever is later), we will refund that charge. If we remove a feature that is a material reason for your paid Plan, you may cancel and receive a refund of the unused part of the prepaid period.

A11.7 Taxes. Where tax applies, it is added to the price. If a payment partner acts as the seller of record, the checkout page will say so and its terms will also apply to that sale.

A11.8 Failed payments. If a payment fails, we or our payment partner may retry it and may suspend paid features until payment succeeds. If you dispute a charge with your card issuer, please contact us at ed@humanizer.com first; we may suspend the account while a dispute is pending.

A11.9 No free trials; no automatic conversion. We do not offer free trials. Free features never convert to a paid Plan automatically. If we ever offer a trial, we will show the end date and the price that will apply afterward before you start, and we will remind you before the first charge.

A11.10 Stored payment details. When you cancel a Plan, you can ask us to have our payment partner remove your saved payment method, and we will do so.

A12. Refunds

Short version: 7 days from your first paid charge, if you have used the Services only lightly. Passes are not refundable once used. Your legal rights are not affected.

A12.1 If you ask within 7 days after your first paid charge for a Plan, and your use has been limited as defined in the Refund and Subscription Policy, we will refund that charge. Other refunds are available only as stated in this Section, in Sections A2.4, A3.1, A3.4, A11.6, A13.4 and A23, in the Refund and Subscription Policy, or where the law requires.

A12.2 A Pass is not refundable once you have started using it, except where the law requires.

A12.3 Refunds are never based on a Detector score or on whether any text was or was not flagged by any detector.

A12.4 Nothing in this Section limits any refund right you have under law.

A13. Suspension and ending your use

Short version: You can leave any time. We can suspend or end accounts for good reasons, and we explain when we can.

A13.1 You can stop. You may stop using the Services and cancel any Plan at any time, and you may ask us to close your account.

A13.2 We may suspend or end. We may suspend, restrict or end your access to some or all of the Services if: you breach these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; your use creates security, legal or reputational risk for us or others; a payment fails or is reversed; we are required to by law or a court or government order; you are in a place where we do not offer the Services; or we are ending a Service (see A15). Where practical we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem. We may act immediately in cases involving child safety, security attacks, threats, sanctions, or legal requirements.

A13.3 Appeals. If you think we made a mistake, email ed@humanizer.com with the subject "Appeal", your account email and an explanation. We will review it and respond.

A13.4 Refunds when we end your access. If we end your paid access for a reason other than your breach or a legal requirement, we will refund the unused part of your prepaid fees.

A13.5 Your content after ending. Your stored content is not deleted automatically when your access ends. You can ask us at any time to export or delete it (see Part D), and we will delete it as described in the Privacy Policy, except where we must keep it by law or to handle a dispute. If we introduce a fixed period after which content of ended accounts is deleted, we will update these Terms and the Privacy Policy before it applies.

A13.6 What survives. Sections that by their nature should continue will continue after these Terms end, including A6.3 to A6.4 as to retained data, A7, A8, A16, A17, A18, A19, A20, A21 and A24.

A14. Copyright complaints and other reports

Short version: Tell us about infringing or unlawful content. We respond under our Copyright and Content Complaint Policy.

A14.1 We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content in the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice that follows our Copyright and Content Complaint Policy (https://gravitypress.org/copyright/), which describes the notice, the counter-notice process and our repeat-infringer policy under 17 U.S.C. 512, and names our designated agent. Please send notices to ed@humanizer.com with "Copyright notice" in the subject line.

A14.2 Most Your Content in the Services is private to the account that submitted it and is not published. Content you publish through Post-Social or Gravity Press can be seen by others and is covered by the Supplemental Terms for those Services.

A14.3 To report intimate images shared without consent, child sexual abuse material, or other unlawful content, email ed@humanizer.com and follow the instructions in the Copyright and Content Complaint Policy. We remove non-consensual intimate images within 48 hours of a valid request, and we report apparent child sexual abuse material as the law requires.

A15. Beta features and changes to the Services

A15.1 Beta features. We may label a feature "Beta" or "Experimental". Beta features may be inaccurate or unstable, may have no support, and may change or end at any time without a duty to keep your data in them. Do not rely on them for anything critical. These Terms apply to them, along with any extra terms we show.

A15.2 Changes to the Services. We may add, change or remove features, models, usage allowances or whole Services. If we end a Service or remove a material feature of a paid Plan, we will give reasonable notice where practical and refund the unused part of any prepaid fee for the affected period. We do not promise uptime or an uninterrupted Service, and we offer no service-level agreement unless we agree one in writing.

A16. Our rights, trademarks, feedback and publicity

A16.1 Our rights. Except for the rights stated in these Terms (and your rights in open-source code under its license), we keep all rights in the Services.

A16.2 Trademarks. "Dreegle", "Humanizer", "Humanizer.com", "Post-Social", "Gravity Press" and our logos are marks of HUMANIZER.COM LLC or its licensors. These Terms do not license them to you. You may use our name to refer to the Services accurately, but not in a way that suggests we sponsor or endorse you.

A16.3 Feedback. If you voluntarily send us ideas or suggestions about the Services ("Feedback"), you give us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them without owing you anything. Feedback does not include Your Content or your personal information.

A16.4 Publicity. We will not use your name, logo, Your Content or Outputs in public marketing without your opt-in permission.

A17. Disclaimers

Short version: The Services are provided as they are. Please read this section carefully.

A17.1 THE SERVICES, OUTPUTS, AND ALL THIRD-PARTY MODELS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

A17.2 WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE; THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UNIQUE, ORIGINAL OR FREE OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS; THAT THE DETECTOR'S RESULTS ARE CORRECT; OR THAT ANY TEXT WILL OR WILL NOT BE FLAGGED BY ANY AI DETECTOR OR ACCEPTED BY ANY SCHOOL, EMPLOYER, PUBLISHER OR PLATFORM.

A17.3 We do not give any written warranty. Some places do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, the exclusions apply to the fullest extent the law permits. Nothing here removes consumer guarantees or rights that the law does not allow to be excluded.

A18. Limit of liability

Short version: There is a cap on what we owe, with important exceptions.

A18.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL OR OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD THEY WERE POSSIBLE.

A18.2 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) US$100.

A18.3 What the limits do not cover. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

A18.4 Why. You and we agree that these limits reflect a fair allocation of risk and are reflected in the price of the Services. We are not responsible for decisions that you or others make using Outputs or Detector results.

A19. Indemnity

A19.1 Individual users. To the extent permitted by law, if a third party brings a claim against us that arises from Your Content that you had no right to submit, or from your use of the Services in breach of the Acceptable Use Policy, you will reimburse us for the reasonable losses and costs we incur from that claim. We will tell you about the claim promptly. You will not have to pay for claims caused by us.

A19.2 Organizations. If you are an organization, you will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from Your Content or your breach of these Terms, and we will tell you about the claim promptly and let you control the defense, as long as you do not settle in a way that binds us without our consent.

A20. Disputes

Short version: Talk to us first. New York law applies. Courts, not arbitration. No class actions. Small-claims court stays available.

A20.1 Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising from them or the Services are governed by New York law and applicable US federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of mandatory consumer laws of the place where you live that cannot be waived by contract.

A20.2 Informal resolution first. Before starting a court case, each of us must first send the other a written notice of the dispute and try in good faith to resolve it for at least 30 days. Your notice must go to ed@humanizer.com with "Dispute notice" in the subject line (copy by post to HUMANIZER.COM LLC, PO Box 724, Lynbrook, NY 11563, USA) and include your name, account email, a description of the problem and what you want. Our notice to you will go to your account email. This step does not stop either of us from seeking urgent court relief.

A20.3 Courts. If the dispute is not resolved, either of us may bring it only in the state courts located in Nassau County, New York or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and each of us consents to those courts' jurisdiction and venue. If you are a consumer and the law of the place where you live does not allow this choice of forum, you may bring claims in the courts of your home county or state.

A20.4 Small claims. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court in Nassau County, New York or in the small-claims court for the county where you live, if the claim qualifies.

A20.5 No class actions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute must be brought by you or us individually, and not as a plaintiff or class member in a class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. If a court finds this paragraph cannot be enforced for a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request alone may proceed in court on the terms above, and the rest of this Section continues to apply.

A20.6 No arbitration. These Terms do not require arbitration.

A20.7 Injunctions. Either of us may seek an injunction or similar relief in the courts named above to protect intellectual property rights, confidential information or the security of the Services.

A21. Sanctions and export compliance

A21.1 Your promises. You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in any of the following places, which we do not serve: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Crimea, so-called Donetsk People's Republic, or so-called Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine, or any other country or region that becomes subject to comprehensive United States sanctions or an embargo; (b) you are not, and are not owned 50% or more by or acting on behalf of, any person identified on a US Government restricted-party list (including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List and the Commerce Department Entity List) or on equivalent lists of the European Union, the United Kingdom or the United Nations; and (c) you will not use, export or re-export the Services or any software we provide in violation of US law.

A21.2 What we may do. We may block access, suspend or end accounts, and refuse or reverse payments where we believe these statements are inaccurate or where the law requires, without liability to you.

A21.3 Other places. The Services are not offered in, and are not intended for use by people in, mainland China (this does not include Hong Kong or Macau), Russia, Belarus, Egypt, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland (Section A3.3), and you confirm that you are not using the Services from those places. Our Sanctions and Export Statement lists the same places.

A22. Notices and communications

A22.1 Electronic notices. You agree that we may give you notices, disclosures and other communications electronically, by email to the address on your account, by notices in the Services, or by posting them on this page, and that they satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing. Notices by email are effective when we send them. You are responsible for keeping your email address current and your inbox able to receive our messages. You may withdraw this consent by closing your account.

A22.2 Notices to us. Send legal notices by email to ed@humanizer.com with "Legal notice" in the subject line and, for formal notices, by post to HUMANIZER.COM LLC, PO Box 724, Lynbrook, NY 11563, USA. The same address handles privacy requests, support, content and abuse reports, and copyright notices; please put the topic in the subject line. Phone: (516) 809-8445.

A22.3 Service messages. We may send you messages about your account, security, billing, and changes to the Services or these Terms. You cannot opt out of these while you have an account.

A22.4 Marketing. We do not currently send marketing email. If we do, we will send it only to people who opted in, and each message will include a way to unsubscribe that we honor promptly.

A22.5 California users. Under California Civil Code section 1789.3, California users may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by mail at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

A23. Events beyond our control

We are not responsible for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, government action, power or internet failures, and outages or failures of third-party infrastructure providers (such as hosting, network, payment or AI model providers). If a paid Plan is largely unavailable for an extended period because of such an event, contact us and we will consider in good faith a fair credit or refund for the affected period.

A24. General terms

A24.1 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, and will tell you if we do.

A24.2 Severability. If a part of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the extent possible and the rest will continue in effect.

A24.3 Entire agreement. These Terms, including the supplements and policies listed in Section A1.4, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Services and replace any earlier agreement about them.

A24.4 No waiver. If we do not enforce a part of these Terms, that is not a waiver of it.

A24.5 No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not give rights to anyone other than you and us, except that our affiliates and service providers may rely on Sections A17 and A18.

A24.6 Interpretation. Headings and "short version" summaries are for convenience and do not change the meaning of the Terms. "Including" means "including without limitation".

A24.7 Language. These Terms are in English. If we give a translation, the English version controls to the extent the law allows.

A24.8 Relationship. You and we are independent parties. These Terms do not create a partnership, employment or agency relationship.

A25. Contact

HUMANIZER.COM LLC, PO Box 724, Lynbrook, NY 11563, USA. Email: ed@humanizer.com (for legal notices, support, privacy, copyright, content and abuse reports, and security; please put the topic in the subject line). Phone: (516) 809-8445. We aim to respond within 5 business days.

PART B: DESKTOP APP SUPPLEMENT

This Part applies when you download or use the Desktop App (Dreegle). It adds to Part A.

B1. Short version

The Desktop App's source code will be published as open-source software. By default it keeps your archive on your own device. Some features, and some background connections, send data off your device, and this Part tells you when.

B2. Software license (and open source)

B2.1 AGPL-3.0-only. We will publish the source code of the Desktop App under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 only ("AGPL-3.0"). Once the source code for a version is published, the AGPL-3.0 governs your rights to use, study, modify and share that code and the app built from it, nothing in these Terms takes away or limits the rights the AGPL-3.0 gives you, and if these Terms and the AGPL-3.0 conflict about the code, the AGPL-3.0 controls. Until then, we license the Desktop App to you under these Terms for your personal use or your organization's internal use.

B2.2 What these Terms add. These Terms govern your account, the hosted Services the app connects to (which are covered by Part A and, where relevant, Parts C and D), our trademarks (see A16.2), and your use of the Services. The restrictions in these Terms on reverse engineering, scraping and abuse apply to the hosted Services and to materials that are not covered by an open-source license; they do not restrict your rights under the AGPL-3.0 or another open-source license.

B2.3 Commercial licensing. If you want to use the code under terms other than the AGPL-3.0, contact us at ed@humanizer.com.

B2.4 Contributions. We accept contributions of code to the Desktop App only under a Contributor License Agreement in which the contributor keeps copyright and grants HUMANIZER.COM LLC a license to the contribution.

B2.5 Third-party components. The Desktop App includes third-party components under their own licenses (some of which are open-source). See Section B9.

B3. Installing and using the app

You may install and run the Desktop App on devices you own or control, on the operating systems we release it for. Some features need an internet connection and, for cloud features, an account. We may require you to run a recent version for security reasons.

B4. Local-first: what stays on your device, and what does not

B4.1 Default. The Desktop App is designed to work on your device. By default, the archives you import and the working data the app builds (such as its local database, indexes and media) are stored on your device, and the app's default privacy setting sends text-generation requests only to models on your device.

B4.2 When data leaves your device. Data leaves your device in situations like these:

  • you sign in to or link a cloud account and use features that store, sync or publish content in the cloud (including Studio cloud storage under Part D);
  • you raise the app's privacy setting (see B5) and use a cloud-hosted or third-party AI provider, including a provider you connect with your own key;
  • you configure a cloud or third-party provider for embeddings or image generation, which the privacy setting does not yet control (see B5.2);
  • you export, share or publish content, for example to Post-Social or Gravity Press, or you create a file or bundle and give it to someone else;
  • the app checks for updates (see B8), refreshes its list of available models (which reads a public catalog and, if you have saved provider keys, asks those providers for their model lists), or you choose to download models or components from third-party hosts;
  • text in your archive or in an AI answer contains an image from the web, which the app may load from its web address;
  • you use tools that look things up online (for example, web search or reference sources), which send your queries to those services; or
  • you use the app's MCP features with an AI client (see Part C).

Whenever content goes to a provider, the provider's terms and the Privacy Policy apply to that processing.

B4.3 Logs on your device. The app keeps operational log files on your device, limited in size and replaced as they fill. It also has optional debugging tools that, if you start the app with them switched on, write detailed records of prompts and answers to files on your device. Delete the files if you do not want those records, and do not send them to anyone unless you are comfortable with their contents.

B4.4 Analytics and crash reporting. We do not include a crash reporter or analytics tools in the Desktop App. The app does keep local statistics (such as model usage and cost accounting) on your device.

B5. Privacy setting and consent

B5.1 The setting. The Desktop App has a setting that controls how far your content may travel for AI text generation. It starts at "local", which keeps that processing on your device. Moving to a broader level (for example, to use a cloud service or a provider you choose) requires you to confirm a consent prompt in the app's Settings under Privacy & Data. The app keeps a receipt of your consent and of completions that were sent off your device, on your device. Requests by an AI agent or MCP client to raise the setting are refused.

B5.2 What the setting does not yet do. The setting does not yet show you a preview of what will be sent before each request, and it does not yet control embeddings (numeric representations of your text) or image generation. Until these are in place, treat the setting as one protection, not a guarantee, and check what your connected tools and providers can do.

B5.3 Other people's information. Your archives may contain information about other people. Before you send messages to any cloud or third-party provider, make sure you have the right to send them. See Section A6.7.

B6. Linking a cloud account

If you link a cloud account, the app may send content to Studio, Post-Social or Gravity Press at your direction. "Local-first" applies only until you do that. Content you send to the cloud is then covered by Part D, the Privacy Policy and the other Terms for that Service.

B7. Local AI models

The app can run AI models on your device. Some models are bundled and others you may choose to download from third-party hosts. Downloading models is optional and sends a request to the host. Models have their own licenses and use policies, which apply to your use of them. Local models run on your device and may be slow or inaccurate, and the Outputs from them are covered by Section A7 and A8.

B8. Updates

Each time it starts, the app checks our update server (update.humanizer.com) for updates; this check cannot currently be switched off. A check shows the update server your IP address and standard request details, including which update channel and platform the app uses. The app may download an available update, and installs it when you choose to. Some updates are security updates that we may require for continued use of the hosted Services. After we announce an end date, older versions may stop connecting to the hosted Services. We sign our releases where the operating system supports it.

B9. Third-party and open-source notices

The Desktop App includes open-source and third-party software. On request to ed@humanizer.com, we will send you a list of components and their licenses and, where a component's license requires it, the corresponding source code or a written offer for it. Where a component's license gives you rights (for example, to receive source code), those rights are in addition to these Terms.

B10. Your device, backups and local data

You are responsible for your device and for backing up your data. The Desktop App stores some of its data in a local database that is not separately encrypted by the app, so we recommend full-disk encryption and a strong device password. Secrets such as provider keys are stored using your operating system's secure storage. Uninstalling the app does not necessarily delete the data it created or the files you exported. Deleting Studio cloud content is done through your account or by asking us (see Part D) and does not delete files on your device.

B11. Export controls

The Desktop App is software that may be subject to US export laws. You may not download, use or export it in violation of those laws or to any place or person described in Section A21. We may block downloads and updates from those places.

B12. Warranty and liability

The Desktop App is provided "as is" as stated in Sections A17 and A18. Once its source code is published, that code is also provided under the warranty disclaimer in the AGPL-3.0.

PART C: API AND MCP SUPPLEMENT

This Part applies when you use our API or MCP server (at mcp.humanizer.com, and our older API at api.humanizer.com) or the MCP features of the Desktop App, or connect an AI client to the Services. It adds to Part A.

C1. Credentials

We may issue you API keys, tokens or similar credentials ("Credentials"). Credentials are secret and personal to you. Do not share, publish or embed them in public code. Rotate them immediately if they may have been exposed, and tell us at ed@humanizer.com (subject line "Security"). You are responsible for all activity under your Credentials. We may revoke or limit Credentials at any time for security, abuse or breach.

C2. Limits and fair use

Rate limits, quotas and usage allowances apply as described in the Services and in your Plan. Do not circumvent them, for example by creating multiple accounts or keys. We may throttle or block traffic that harms the Services or other users.

C3. Permitted use

You may use the API and MCP to build features or workflows for yourself or your organization, within the Acceptable Use Policy and Part A. In addition, you may not:

  • use Outputs or API access to build, train or improve AI models or text-rewriting or AI-detection products that compete with ours (Section A7.4);
  • resell or sublicense API access unless we agree in writing;
  • scrape the Services, or mass-extract content or Outputs, or bulk-test the Detector or Outputs to benchmark or reverse engineer our methods;
  • use the API to post or send content automatically at scale in a way that deceives people about whether a person or an AI is acting; or
  • use the Detector or Outputs through the API for the high-stakes decisions about people described in Section A8.3.

C4. Business customers

If you use the API for an organization, you are responsible for your end users, for giving them any notices the law requires, and for their compliance with these Terms. If you want to process other people's personal information through the API, contact us at ed@humanizer.com first; we do not currently offer a data processing addendum. Unless we sign a separate written agreement, there is no service-level agreement.

C5. Logs

We log technical information about API and MCP use (such as Credential or user identifier, tool or endpoint, time, status, duration and usage counts) to run the Services, bill, secure them and prevent abuse. Our servers may also record the web address of each request, which can include query text in the address. We do not intentionally write the content of your requests into these logs. Content you send may still be stored by features of your account that you use (for example, history or workspace features) as described in Part D and the Privacy Policy.

C6. MCP and AI clients

C6.1 You direct what AI clients do. MCP lets AI clients and agents that you connect (for example, desktop AI assistants or coding tools) call tools in the Services. When you connect a client, you authorize it to act for you. You are responsible for what the client does with your account, including reading, changing or deleting your content and using your allowances.

C6.2 Data goes where your client sends it. An AI client can send what the tools return to its own model provider, under that provider's terms and not ours. This can include excerpts of your archive. We do not control third-party clients or their providers. Connect only clients you trust, and limit what you expose to them.

C6.3 Prompt injection and misuse. AI clients can be tricked by text in documents, web pages or messages (sometimes called prompt injection) into taking actions you did not intend. You use MCP at your own risk, and you should review what a client proposes to do, especially before it deletes, publishes, spends money or sends data elsewhere.

C6.4 Local MCP mode. The Desktop App can run as a local MCP server. Each time it starts, it adds itself to the Claude Desktop application's list of MCP servers on your device, including after you have removed it from that list. It is added to other AI clients only when you choose them in Settings, and you can remove it from those clients at any time.

C7. Changes and suspension

We may change or remove API features and tools. We will give paying API users at least 90 days' notice of breaking changes, except for changes needed for security, legal reasons or abuse prevention. We may suspend or end API access under Section A13.

PART D: STUDIO CLOUD STORAGE SUPPLEMENT

This Part applies when you store content in Studio's cloud storage, including by importing archives, syncing from the Desktop App, or using cloud features such as history, workspaces, media and search. It adds to Part A.

D1. Short version

Cloud storage keeps your imported content on our infrastructure so the Services can work with it. You must have the right to import what you import. Imports can contain other people's information, so be careful. We do not offer end-to-end encryption.

D2. What is stored

When you use cloud storage, we may store, on infrastructure operated by our providers (currently Cloudflare and DigitalOcean):

  • text and metadata from archives and documents you import (for example, conversations and messages exported from other services);
  • Derived Data created from that content, such as embeddings used for search and for the features you choose;
  • images, audio and other media you upload or create;
  • your history, drafts, workspaces and settings; and
  • keys you give us for BYOK, in encrypted form.

Storage locations may be in the United States and in other countries where our providers operate. Our infrastructure providers state that they encrypt stored data at rest. Cloud storage is not end-to-end encrypted: it has to be readable by the Services to work. Content stored with us is intended to be private to your account unless you choose to publish or share it, and media files are served only to the signed-in account that owns them. We use Your Content and Derived Data only as described in Section A6, and we do not use it to train models (Section A6.4).

D3. Your right to import

Only import content that you own or have the right to import and process. Do not import another person's private messages, files or personal information unless you are entitled to have them and to use them this way. If you got the content from a third-party service (a "Source Platform"), you are responsible for complying with that service's terms for exporting and using the data.

D4. Other people's personal information in imports

Chat exports, message archives and similar files often include information about other people: names, contact details, private conversations, and sometimes sensitive details. You are responsible for having the right to import them. Before importing:

  • remove or redact what you do not need;
  • do not import sensitive information about others (such as health information, financial or government identifiers, or information about children) unless you are legally entitled to; and
  • do not import confidential information you are bound not to share.

We may offer tools that flag personal information during import. These tools are imperfect: they do not find or remove all personal information, and they do not replace your responsibility. If someone contacts us about information about them in an import, we will work with you and the person to address it, and we may remove content.

D5. Rights in imported content

Importing content does not change who owns it. You give us only the license in Section A6.3. Where imported content includes material written by others (such as quotations, articles or pasted text), you remain responsible for rights in it. Do not publish imported content unless you have the right to do so; content you publish through Post-Social or Gravity Press is covered by the Supplemental Terms for those Services.

D6. Retention, deletion and export

D6.1 Retention. We keep stored content until you delete it or your account is closed, plus the periods described in the Privacy Policy retention section (Sections 3.5 and 8 of the Privacy Policy) for backups, security records and legal compliance.

D6.2 Deletion. You can delete individual items (for example, media, drafts and stored keys) where the Services give you that option. To delete your account and the content stored with it, email ed@humanizer.com from your account email with "Delete my account" in the subject line, and we will delete it within 30 days, subject to the retention periods described in the Privacy Policy. We do not delete files you exported or content on your own devices, or content you published that others have copied.

D6.3 Export. You can ask us for a copy of your stored content by emailing ed@humanizer.com with "Export my data" in the subject line, and we will provide it in a common machine-readable format within 30 days.

D6.4 If your Plan ends. Your stored content is not deleted because a Plan ends, but access to cloud features may be limited to what your Plan or free features include. You can ask us to export or delete your stored content at any time (Section A13.5).

D7. Your backups

Keep your own copy of anything important. We take reasonable steps to protect stored content but do not promise that it will never be lost, corrupted or unavailable, and cloud storage is not a backup service.

End of Terms of Service.
