Terms and Conditions

Lettrim is operated by an individual based in India. These Terms apply to people who use the website, create accounts, collaborate on projects or publish work. The Content Policy sets out additional rules for material hosted or made available through Lettrim.

An account lets you create projects, organize files, commit changes, branch drafts, invite collaborators and export work. Where available, you can share a public project or publish an edition. Some features depend on account permissions, available capacity or deployment configuration.

You must be at least 13 to create an account and meet any higher age, contractual capacity or parental authorization requirements where you live. Lettrim does not routinely request a birth date during signup. If you use Lettrim on behalf of another person or organization, you must have authority to act for them.

Keep your sign-in information secure and the account details needed for recovery current. Use an account you are authorized to control. Tell the operator if you learn of unauthorized access and use your account security settings to review or revoke sessions where available.

You retain the rights you have in the manuscripts, files, comments and other content you submit. Lettrim receives permission to store, reproduce for technical purposes, back up, process and display that material to the extent needed to provide and secure the service and carry out your sharing choices.

Use material you own, have permission to use, or are otherwise entitled to use under applicable law. You are responsible for any agreement you make with an editor, coauthor, publisher or rights holder about authorship, confidentiality, access, publication or reuse. Roles and version history record activity and permissions in Lettrim.

Lettrim will never use your public or private writing or personal data to train AI models. If an assistant is offered, Lettrim will use only API services whose terms prohibit training on writing and personal data submitted through it. The Privacy Policy explains what Lettrim will disclose before you use such a feature.

Projects start private. Invitations and roles control what other people may read, write, review or administer. If you administer a project or workspace, invite only people you are authorized to share it with and choose permissions appropriate to their role. Treat private invitation links as confidential.

A project member can retain a file or text they were permitted to see. Review access before sharing sensitive work or research. When you contribute to another person’s project, your changes and comments become part of that project and may remain in its history after your membership or account ends.

The Privacy Policy describes the operator’s permission-first approach to support access and the limited exceptions for urgent security, recovery or legal obligations.

A public project can expose committed files, folder structure, alternate branches and revision history to people without an account. Past names, earlier prose, contributor names or pen names, and version messages can be visible. Check the whole history for confidential material or information about others before enabling public project access.

Public project access gives readers access through Lettrim’s public view. Rights to redistribute or adapt a work depend on the applicable license, permission and law. Changing the project back to private withdraws the public view on Lettrim. People may retain material they previously saved.

An edition is a separate reader-facing publication based on committed writing selected by the publishing workflow. The current edition reader requires sign-in. The edition can display your chosen byline and publication information. Enabling process sharing can expose eligible revision history associated with the edition.

Publishing an edition and making the project’s files and history public are separate choices. If both are enabled, the broader public project access also applies. Review what the edition shows before publishing or updating it. Unpublishing removes access through the edition reader. Existing downloads, copies and independently granted licenses can continue to have effect.

When you publish an edition, choose a license you have authority to grant. All rights reserved preserves your rights, subject to specific permissions you grant and applicable law. CC BY 4.0 permits sharing and adaptation with attribution, including commercial use. CC BY-NC 4.0 permits sharing and adaptation for noncommercial purposes with attribution. CC0 is a public-domain dedication to the extent permitted by law. The license terms govern the permissions and conditions in full.

Reader copying is off by default. Enabling it allows an eligible reader to make a private fork of the published snapshot in Lettrim. A project member can have separate copy permissions. The in-app permission to create a private fork gives no additional permission to publish, distribute or commercially use it beyond the license, any permission from the rights holder, and applicable law.

Turning off copying or unpublishing blocks future copying through that publication path. Existing independent forks can remain with the accounts that made them. A moderation or legal action can separately restrict an individual copy.

Automatic writing recovery is stored in the browser. Use a commit to send a version to Lettrim. A browser recovery copy can be lost with the browser or device, so check that an important version has committed successfully and keep copies of work you need to retain.

Exports use the committed work or history covered by the chosen format. Available formats can include Word, Markdown, text and Git history. Use the browser recovery download for material that exists only in local recovery. Open an exported file to verify it contains what you need before removing your account or local copy.

Archiving preserves writing and history, disables public access and pauses editing. Restoring uses an available active-project slot and returns the project to private access. Publishing again or making the project public requires a separate action.

You can request account deletion through Settings → Your data. Resolve workspace ownership before deleting, and export work you want to keep. Deletion removes access to owned projects and cleans up active account information. Comments and edits in another person’s project may remain under a deleted-writer label. The Privacy Policy describes provider cleanup, retained records, independent copies and analytics erasure.

Use Lettrim lawfully and respect other people’s rights. You may not use it for harassment, threats, impersonation, unlawful disclosure of private information, fraud, spam, or to distribute work that infringes someone else’s rights.

Do not break or bypass account security, access controls, quotas or rate limits. Do not attempt to access a private project without authorization, interfere with the service, or use automated requests to collect content in violation of permissions, applicable licenses or law.

Public projects and editions serve a 13+ audience. Mature subjects can be discussed in public when the treatment is suitable for that audience. A non-graphic memoir about abuse, a mystery that refers to a murder or criticism of a difficult novel can be appropriate. Lettrim considers context, including whether the work discusses or depicts abuse and how graphic the material is.

Lawful explicit sexual material or graphic depictions of violence belong in private projects. The public rule also applies to material visible in a public project’s version history. A content warning can give readers context, while private visibility is required for material outside the public standard.

Child sexual exploitation material, grooming, unlawful sexual depictions of minors, credible threats and other unlawful content are prohibited throughout Lettrim. In assessing a report about fiction, memoir or criticism, we distinguish contextual treatment of abuse from material that exploits or sexualizes children.

If a public edition violates these Terms, use its report control where available. For other reports, a public operator contact will be provided in the final policy. Include the page or project address and enough context to identify the material. A copyright report should identify the work, the allegedly infringing material, your authority to act and a way to contact you.

For a public-only violation, Lettrim may make the project private or take down the edition. Serious or repeated abuse, deliberate evasion or unlawful content can lead to removal, suspension or account termination. Lettrim may act without advance warning and will give reasons and a way to challenge the action where applicable law requires them. Material may be reported to the relevant authorities when required.

An appeal should identify the action, explain why it should be reconsidered and include any relevant context. The final policy will identify where to submit it. A restriction can stay in place while it is reviewed.

Plan limits govern capacity such as the number of projects, documents or collaborators. Lettrim will describe available plans and relevant limits before you choose one. The number of active project slots may affect your ability to create or restore a project.

Paid checkout is currently unavailable. If subscriptions are introduced, the terms shown before purchase will explain the price and currency, tax treatment, renewal, cancellation, refunds and what happens to existing work after a downgrade.

Lettrim aims to keep the workspace available and protect your writing. Maintenance, service incidents, third-party outages or changes in the product can interrupt access. Keep independent exports of important work and report an issue if you cannot access a project or version.

Applicable consumer protections and remedies continue to apply. Any service limitation or change will be subject to the mandatory rights and obligations in the jurisdiction that governs your use.

If Lettrim makes a material change to these Terms, it will provide notice through an appropriate channel and request renewed acceptance where required. The policy date identifies the version you are reading.

If a dispute arises, you can raise it through the operator’s contact channel and use any complaint or dispute process available under applicable law. The operator’s location in India does not displace mandatory protections that apply where you live.

Draft item for completion before publication. Add the operator’s legal name, monitored contact details, effective date and any required dispute, consumer or moderation notices. Confirm the final terms against the features and plans available at launch.
