Terms of Service

Last updated: March 29, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing grimoirescribe.com or submitting your email to the waitlist, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this site.

What This Site Is

This is a pre-launch marketing and waitlist website for GrimoireScribe, a desktop writing application currently in development, operating under a New Jersey DBA filing (trademark pending). Nothing on this site constitutes a sale, license, or binding commitment to deliver software by any particular date.

The Waitlist

Joining the waitlist means you're expressing interest in GrimoireScribe and consenting to receive a notification email when the product launches. It does not:

• Guarantee access to the software or any particular features
• Create a purchase agreement or reservation
• Guarantee delivery by any specific date

Our intent is to offer waitlist members the opportunity to purchase at the V1 launch price before it is raised for subsequent versions. This is our stated intention, not a binding contractual commitment. The final price has not yet been set, and product details remain subject to change. We will notify waitlist members by email before any purchase opportunity is made available.

You may remove yourself from the waitlist at any time by emailing hello@grimoirescribe.com.

Third-Party AI Providers

GrimoireScribe is a local-first application. We do not operate servers that receive or process your writing. However, certain optional cloud AI features transmit content from your device directly to third-party providers:

• Cloud AI writing features send your prose and context to the provider you choose (Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), xAI (Grok), Google (Gemini), or Mistral). By using these features, you agree to be bound by that provider's terms of service and privacy policy. GrimoireScribe is not a party to that relationship and assumes no responsibility for how those providers handle your data.
• Optional semantic search. If you configure a cloud embedding provider (such as Voyage AI) for advanced world-document retrieval, document text is sent directly to that provider. This is entirely optional. Keyword-based retrieval works locally with no cloud dependency.

GrimoireScribe also includes a bundled local AI model (Offline Mode) that runs entirely on your device with no internet connection required.

All AI features are optional. The core writing, editing, and organization tools in GrimoireScribe function entirely offline.

Support and Diagnostics

The app includes a local logging system. Logs are stored on your device and are never transmitted automatically. If you contact us for support, we may ask you to voluntarily share log files to help diagnose issues. Log files may contain fragments of your prose or project data. Sharing is at your discretion, and shared logs are used solely for debugging and deleted after the issue is resolved.

Purchasing the App

When GrimoireScribe becomes available for purchase, it will be sold as a perpetual license: a one-time payment that grants you the right to use that version of the software indefinitely. There are no subscriptions, no recurring charges, and no credits. You will not be charged automatically.

Each major version of GrimoireScribe is sold at a higher price than the previous. Owners of any prior version receive all future major versions included in their original purchase, at no additional cost. No upgrade is ever required, and your purchased version continues to work indefinitely.

Activations

A single license may be activated on up to 3 devices simultaneously, across any combination of supported platforms (Windows, Mac, iPad). You may deactivate a device at any time from within the app to free up an activation slot. There is no annual cap on deactivations or reassignments.

Refunds

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all purchases of GrimoireScribe. If you are not satisfied within 30 days of purchase, contact us at hello@grimoirescribe.com and we will issue a full refund, no questions asked. For full details, see our Refund Policy. All payments are processed by Paddle, our merchant of record, which handles VAT/sales tax globally.

No Warranties

This website and all information on it is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We make no guarantees about the accuracy of feature descriptions, timelines, or the eventual release of GrimoireScribe. Product details are subject to change.

Intellectual Property

All content on this site (including the GrimoireScribe name, logo, copy, and design) is the property of GrimoireScribe and may not be reproduced without written permission.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading, or others' email addresses to the waitlist
• Attempt to interfere with or disrupt this website or its infrastructure
• Use automated means to scrape or interact with this site

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GrimoireScribe shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this website or reliance on information contained herein.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States. Any disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the updated date above. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
