Terms of Service
Last updated August 24, 2026
1. Acceptance of terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding legal agreement between you (“you,” “your,” or “User”) and Ayush Sharma, an individual doing business as Plotmuse (“Plotmuse,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the Plotmuse website, application, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service in any way, you affirmatively accept these Terms in full. If you do not agree to every provision, you must not access or use the Service, and your continued use constitutes ongoing acceptance of these Terms as amended from time to time.
2. Eligibility
You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction if higher, and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to both you individually and that organization. We reserve the right to refuse the Service to anyone, at any time and for any reason, without liability.
3. Beta status
Plotmuse is currently offered as a closed, invite-only beta and is provided on an experimental, pre-release basis. Features, functionality, availability, pricing, and data structures may change, be added, or be removed at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate the beta program, or your access to it, at our sole discretion at any time. No aspect of the beta constitutes a commitment to deliver any future version, feature, service level, or pricing structure.
4. Your account
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or other breach of security. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials, and we may suspend or terminate any account at any time, without notice, if we believe in our sole discretion it has been compromised, misused, or used in violation of these Terms.
5. Fees and future payment
The Service is currently provided free of charge during the beta period. We reserve the right to introduce paid subscription plans, usage-based fees, or other charges at any time on notice to you, and your continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes acceptance of the applicable fees. All fees, once introduced, will be non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated in writing by us.
6. Your content; license to Plotmuse
You retain all ownership rights, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the scripts, treatments, outlines, character notes, storyboards, and other creative material you upload to or create within the Service (“User Content”). We do not claim ownership of User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant Plotmuse a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, and display it solely to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service for you, including making backups and technical copies. This license ends when you delete the applicable User Content or close your account, except for copies retained in routine backups for a commercially reasonable period or as required by law. We do not use User Content to train machine-learning or artificial-intelligence models without your separate, explicit, opt-in consent.
7. Feedback
If you submit ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate it into the Service for any purpose, without obligation or compensation to you.
8. Our intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and all other content we provide (excluding User Content), is owned by Plotmuse and its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service as expressly permitted under these Terms, no right, title, or interest in the Service is transferred to you, and you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of it.
9. Acceptable use
You agree not to: upload or transmit content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, obscene, or that violates a third party's rights; use the Service to develop a competing product or to scrape, mine, or extract data at scale; reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service; probe, scan, or test its vulnerabilities, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure; use bots, scrapers, or crawlers to access the Service without our prior written consent; interfere with or disrupt its integrity or performance; or use the Service in violation of any applicable law. We may investigate and take appropriate action, including immediate suspension or termination and referral to law enforcement, against anyone who violates this section.
10. Third-party services and links
The Service may link to or integrate with third-party websites, products, or services we do not own or control. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any third party's content, policies, or practices, and your use of any third-party service is at your own risk and subject to that party's terms.
11. AI and machine-learning features
Certain features may use artificial intelligence or machine-learning tools, including third-party models, to generate suggestions, analysis, or other output (“AI Output”). AI Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your purposes, and you are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying it before relying on it. We make no representation that AI Output is original, non-infringing, or fit for any particular purpose.
12. Copyright complaints
If you believe material available through the Service infringes your copyright, notify us at info@plotmuse.com with sufficient detail to identify the material and your claim. We reserve the right to remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material and to terminate accounts of repeat infringers, at our sole discretion.
13. Confidentiality
Any non-public information we designate as confidential, or that you should reasonably understand to be confidential given its nature, may not be disclosed by you to any third party without our prior written consent.
14. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, and without liability to you. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including the license-survival terms in Section 6, and Sections 8, 13, 15, 16, 17, and 20 — will survive.
15. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DATA, INCLUDING USER CONTENT, WILL NOT BE LOST OR CORRUPTED. YOU USE THE SERVICE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK, ESPECIALLY GIVEN ITS CURRENT BETA STATUS.
16. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLOTMUSE, ITS OPERATOR, AND THEIR AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ₹5,000. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
17. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Plotmuse, its operator, and their affiliates, officers, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or connected with: your access to or use of the Service; your User Content; your violation of these Terms; or your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights.
18. Export control and sanctions
You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or party subject to applicable trade sanctions or export restrictions, and that you will not use the Service in violation of any such law.
19. Governing law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
20. Dispute resolution; binding arbitration; class action waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (India), as amended. The seat and venue of arbitration shall be [City], India, and the language of arbitration shall be English; the arbitrator's award shall be final and binding. YOU AND PLOTMUSE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. All claims must be brought in an individual capacity, and the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. Either party may still seek interim injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction at [City], India, to protect its intellectual property or confidential information pending arbitration.
21. Force majeure
We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, war, terrorism, riots, labor disputes, internet or utility failures, or governmental action.
22. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time without notice or consent, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
23. Severability; waiver; entire agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Plotmuse regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
24. Changes to these terms
We may modify these Terms at any time, at our sole discretion, by posting the revised Terms with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes may, but need not, be separately notified to you. Your continued access or use of the Service after a change constitutes your binding acceptance of the revised Terms.
25. Notices
We may provide notices to you via the email associated with your account or by posting on the Service. Notices to us must be sent to info@plotmuse.com.
