1. The Short Version
- You own your worlds. Completely. We take a license only as far as needed to run the product.
- Pay monthly, cancel anytime, keep access through the end of what you paid for.
- Don't upload what isn't yours, don't abuse the platform, don't game the affiliate program.
- We provide the tool as-is, and our liability is capped. Export your bible regularly — it's one click and it's free.
2. Accounts
- You must be at least 16 to use CanonBoard.
- You're responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity under your account.
- One person per seat. Sharing a single login across multiple people is not permitted on any plan.
3. Plans, Billing, and Changes
- Paid plans are billed monthly or annually in advance. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
- Prices may change. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice, and changes take effect at your next renewal — never mid-cycle.
- Taxes are added where required by law.
4. AI Credits
- Paid plans include a monthly credit allotment, shared as one pool across the account. Monthly credits refresh each billing cycle and do not roll over.
- Credit packs purchased as add-ons do not expire while you maintain an active paid subscription.
- If you downgrade to Free, unused pack credits are retained on your account and become usable again when you resubscribe to a paid tier.
- Credits have no cash value, are non-refundable, and are non-transferable between accounts.
5. Your Content and Ownership
Everything you build in CanonBoard — characters, worlds, rules, plots, lore, uploads — is yours. We claim zero ownership of your intellectual property.
You grant CanonBoard a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, transmit, display, and process your content solely for the purpose of operating the service for you and the collaborators you authorize. That license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backups retained for the windows described in our Privacy Policy.
You're responsible for the content you upload: you represent that you have the rights to it, and that it doesn't infringe anyone else's rights.
6. License to Use the Service
Subject to these terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use CanonBoard for your own creative and professional projects, including paid collaboration with the people you invite.
7. Acceptable Use
Don't use CanonBoard to:
- Upload content you don't have the rights to, or that infringes someone else's intellectual property or privacy rights.
- Interfere with the platform: no probing, scraping, automated bulk extraction, or circumventing plan limits or access controls.
- Reverse engineer the service or use it to build a competing dataset or product.
- Resell access, share seats across multiple people, or misuse the affiliate program (see the Affiliate Program Terms).
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. For serious violations we may do so immediately; otherwise we'll warn you first.
8. Collaboration
- Account owners control seats, roles, and project access. You're responsible for the people you add.
- Removing a member revokes their access; content they contributed to your projects remains in the project and under the account owner's control.
9. Affiliate Program
Participation in the affiliate program is optional and governed by the separate Affiliate Program Terms, which are incorporated into these terms for participating affiliates.
10. Cancellation and Refunds
- Cancel anytime from your account settings. Your plan stays active through the end of the period you've paid for. No prorated refunds for partial months.
- On downgrade, projects and features beyond your new plan's limits become read-only. We never delete your content because you downgraded.
11. Termination
You can delete your account at any time. We may terminate or suspend access for material breach of these terms, for legal reasons, or if continuing service would expose us to risk. On termination, the license you granted us in Section 5 ends, subject to the retention windows in the Privacy Policy.
12. Exports and Portability
Bible Export is available on every plan, including Free. Export features may vary by plan. You're encouraged to keep your own copies of work you can't afford to lose.
13. Disclaimers
CanonBoard is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We maintain backups, but you are responsible for keeping your own exports of work you can't afford to lose.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claims arising from these terms or the service is limited to the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including lost profits or lost content.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your content, your use of the service in violation of these terms, or your violation of any third party's rights.
16. Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any formal claim, both sides agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting contact@canonboard.com.
17. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms. For material changes, we'll give at least 30 days' notice by email and in the product. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
