Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of Inkling. They're written to be readable without a law degree, but they are a binding agreement between you and the operator. If something here is unclear, email legal@inkling.to before you sign up.
Who we are and acceptance
Inkling is operated by Kirill Klimuk, an individual. By creating an account or using Inkling, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Inkling.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. If you are using Inkling on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
Your account
You are responsible for keeping your Google sign-in credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your Inkling account. Notify us promptly at support@inkling.to if you believe your account has been compromised.
Your content
Your content is yours. You retain all ownership rights to the pages, documents, and other material you create in Inkling ("Your Content").
You grant us a narrow, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, and display Your Content solely as necessary to provide Inkling to you and to anyone you share it with. This license ends when you delete Your Content, subject to reasonable time for backup expiration as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not use Your Content to train AI or machine-learning models.
User-authorized integrations
Inkling may offer features that, at your explicit direction, transmit Your Content to third-party services using credentials you provide (API keys, OAuth grants). For example, an AI agent feature powered by your own Anthropic API key.
When you enable such an integration, you acknowledge that:
- you authorize us to send Your Content to that third party on your behalf;
- the third party's own terms and privacy policy govern what they do with Your Content;
- we do not train AI models on Your Content, and we do not control whether the third party does (review their terms);
- you may disable the integration at any time.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use Inkling for anything illegal, or to store content that is illegal where you or we operate;
- upload malware, attempt to compromise the service, or reverse engineer the service except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
- resell, sublicense, or rent Inkling access to third parties without our written permission;
- use Inkling to harass, defraud, or infringe the rights of others;
- circumvent rate limits, authentication, or other security measures.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, including without notice for severe or repeated violations.
Service availability
Inkling is provided on an as-is, as-available basis. We do not guarantee uptime, performance, or that the service will be free of bugs. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time; where reasonably feasible, we will give notice before doing so.
Fees
Inkling currently has no paid tiers. We reserve the right to introduce paid plans, at which point we will give you reasonable notice and the ability to decline before any charge applies.
Termination
You may stop using Inkling and delete your account at any time. We may terminate or suspend your account at any time, with or without cause, by giving reasonable notice when practical. Upon termination, your data is deleted per the retention timelines in the Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (ownership, disclaimers, liability, dispute resolution, governing law) will survive.
Disclaimer of warranties
INKLING IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, DATA INTEGRITY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. YOU USE INKLING AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF INKLING AND ITS OPERATOR TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF INKLING WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
These limits do not apply to liability for gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct, or — where applicable by law — death or personal injury caused by our negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Inkling and its operator harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your use of Inkling in violation of these Terms or applicable law, (c) third-party services you authorize to process Your Content, or (d) your infringement of any third-party right.
Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Inkling will be resolved through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California, or by video conference at the arbitrator's discretion.
Class-action waiver. You and we agree that claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative action.
Small-claims carve-out. Either party may bring qualifying claims in small-claims court rather than arbitration.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@inkling.to within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your full name and a statement that you decline arbitration. Opting out does not affect the other provisions of these Terms.
Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration, you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will give at least 30 days' advance notice in-app or by email before it takes effect. Your continued use of Inkling after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding Inkling. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
