Terms of Service

Last updated November 11, 2026

These terms cover your use of Scriven, which runs in your browser. By signing in, you agree to them.

Your account

You sign in with a Google or Apple account and are responsible for what happens under it. You need to be at least 13 to use Scriven.

If you’re under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian’s permission, and they agree to these terms for you. Plans and credit packs must be bought by an adult.

Use it honestly

Use Scriven for writing that’s yours to make. Don’t use it to sign anything, to pass off someone else’s handwriting as yours, or to break any law. If you’re a student, Scriven is for studying and checking your work: you’re responsible for following your school’s and your course’s rules on academic integrity, collaboration and what you hand in.

Your content

What you upload and the pages Scriven writes for you are yours. You give us permission to store and process them only as needed to run Scriven for you. Only upload material you have the right to use.

Sharing and conduct

When you share a notebook, comment in one or invite someone, don’t harass anyone, send spam, or post anything objectionable, such as hateful, threatening, sexual or violent content. You can report a comment, an invitation or a person, and block someone, from the notebook. We review every report within 24 hours, remove what breaks these terms, and an account that abuses sharing loses it or is removed. To tell us about anything else, write to support@scriven.io.

Your handwriting

Your hands are yours. We use your handwriting samples only to write for you, never to write for anyone else. Only add handwriting that is your own, or that you have permission to use.

Beta offers

During the beta, a new account gets a free period of Pro: a week by default, and longer through some links. Some links are only for email addresses at a given school or organisation. There’s one offer per account, and the longest you qualify for applies.

The free period ends on its own, and the account moves to Free. Nothing is charged and no payment details are asked for. Offers can change or end at any time, and taking one doesn’t otherwise change these terms.

No guarantees on what it writes

Scriven checks its work, but it can still make mistakes. What it writes is provided as is; check anything that matters.

The service

We’re always improving Scriven, so features may change or be removed. Scriven is provided “as is”, without warranties, and to the extent the law allows we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses from using it.

Plans and payments

A plan renews until you cancel it, and you can cancel at any time. Payments aren’t refunded, for a whole period or part of one, including when you cancel a plan or delete your account, and credits you haven’t used aren’t refunded or exchanged for money, except where the law requires it. When you buy a plan or credits you ask us to provide them right away, and to the extent the law allows you give up any right to withdraw from the purchase once it has started. Purchases made in the iPad app are billed by Apple, and refunds for those are Apple’s to decide.

Ending things

You can stop using Scriven and delete your account at any time, in the iPad app or on the website. Deleting it cancels a plan you pay for on the website; a plan bought in the iPad app is billed by Apple, and you cancel it in your Apple Account. We may suspend accounts that misuse the service or break these terms.

Changes

If we change these terms we’ll update the date at the top, and tell you in the app if the change is significant.

How we handle your data is in our Privacy Policy, and the work Scriven builds on is in its credits.
