Copyright Policy

Ownership, infringement, and a notice-and-takedown procedure that works whichever law you are writing under.

Your work stays yoursA real takedown procedureParaphrasing is not ownership

In short

You keep every right you hold in the text you submit. We claim no ownership of it, and no ownership of the results generated for you.
Your documents are not stored on our servers and are never used to train AI models.
Paraphrasing someone else’s work does not make it yours. Changing the words does not change who owns the underlying expression or the idea.
We publish no user content, so there is very little here for a takedown to reach — but if something on our site infringes your copyright, section 6 tells you exactly how to have it removed.

1. What this policy is for

This policy explains who owns what when you use AI Writing Assistant, how to use the tools without infringing anyone else's rights, and what to do if you believe material on this website infringes yours. It forms part of the Terms of Service; where the two differ, the Terms govern.

It is written for two different readers: the person using the tools, who wants to know where the line is, and the rights holder who has found something and wants it taken down. Sections 2 to 4 are for the first. Sections 5 to 10 are for the second.

2. Your content, and what we do with it

You keep your rights

Text you submit remains yours. You grant us only the narrow, temporary permission needed to process it and return a result — nothing broader, and nothing that survives the request.

We do not keep it

Your documents are not stored on our servers after processing, and are never used to train AI models. This is not a promise about intentions; it is how the service is built, and it has consequences we are open about elsewhere — see the Community Guidelines on what we can and cannot see.

Results

As between you and us, we claim no ownership of output generated for you. What we cannot do is guarantee that output is free of third-party rights — see section 11, which explains why that limitation is real rather than legal boilerplate.

Drafts

The Drafts library keeps your saved work in your own browser's storage, not on our servers. Clearing your browser data removes it, and we cannot recover it for you, because we never had it.

3. Using the tools without infringing

The tools make it easy to transform text. They do not make it lawful to transform text you have no right to use, and this is the single most common misunderstanding we see.

Running someone else's work through a paraphraser does not transfer ownership of it to you. Copyright protects the expression, and a close paraphrase is generally treated as a derivative of that expression rather than a new work. Beyond copyright, presenting someone else's idea as your own is plagiarism regardless of how much the wording changed — and plagiarism is judged on substance, not on string matching.

Things to keep in mind

Translation is not laundering either. A translation is a derivative work. Translating a protected text without permission generally requires the rights holder's consent in the same way copying it would.
Summaries are usually safer, but not automatically safe. Summarising facts and ideas in your own words is ordinarily fine. Reproducing distinctive phrasing, structure or substantial extracts is not, and a summary that tracks the original closely can still infringe.
Quoting has limits. Fair dealing, fair use and equivalent exceptions differ by country and are narrower than people assume. Attribution is not a substitute for permission.
Do not submit confidential material you have no right to process — an employer's documents, a client's file, someone else's unpublished manuscript.
Check before you publish. You are responsible for the finished work, including whether it infringes. The Terms say so, and so does every publisher you are likely to submit to.

If your use is academic, the Academic Integrity page covers the same ground from a different angle — including why a paraphrase that defeats a similarity checker is still plagiarism.

4. Our own material

The website itself — its text, page design, layout, illustrations, icons, screenshots, branding and the software behind it — is protected by intellectual-property law and remains ours or our licensors'.

You may read, quote briefly with attribution, and link to any page. You may not copy substantial portions of our written content, republish our pages, or reuse our branding in a way that suggests association or endorsement. Bulk copying of our pages by automated means is prohibited by the Terms as well.

Third-party components used on the site — typefaces, icon sets, open-source libraries — remain the property of their respective owners and are used under their licences.

5. What we actually host

Worth stating before the takedown procedure, because it changes what a notice can usefully target.

AI Writing Assistant has no user-generated public content. There are no profiles, no uploads visible to anyone else, no forum, no comments and no published pages created by users. Documents are not stored on our servers at all. Saved drafts live in the user's own browser.

What we host is our own material: the pages of this website and the assets on them. In practice, a copyright notice to us will concern something we published ourselves — text, an image, a screenshot — and section 6 sets out how to raise it.

If you have found infringing material that a person created using our tools but published somewhere else, we are not the host of that material and cannot remove it. The correct route is a notice to whoever hosts it. We do want to hear about it — misuse reports feed into enforcement under the Community Guidelines — but that is a separate process from a takedown.

6. Reporting infringing material

If you own copyright in a work, or are authorised to act for the owner, and you believe material on this website infringes it, send us a notice at info@aiwritingassistant.net.

What your notice must contain

These elements are drawn from the standard international notice-and-takedown practice. A notice missing any of them may be delayed while we ask for it.

Identification of the work you say is infringed. If several works are involved, a representative list is acceptable.
Identification of the material on our site that you say infringes, with enough detail for us to find it — the full URL of each page, and where on the page the material appears.
Your contact details: name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act on their behalf. Depending on the law that applies to you, this may need to be given under penalty of perjury.
Your signature, physical or electronic.

A note on the DMCA. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is United States legislation, and its designated-agent mechanism applies to service providers established there. The operator of this service is established in Pakistan, so we do not hold a registered DMCA agent and will not claim one. The procedure above follows the same notice-and-takedown structure and we act on valid notices in the same way, whichever law you are writing under.

Please send the notice in writing to the address above rather than through the general support channel — it reaches the right person faster and starts the clock.

7. What happens after we receive a notice

We acknowledge receipt, normally within three working days.
We review the notice for completeness. If something required by section 6 is missing, we come back to you rather than simply rejecting it.
Where the claim appears valid, we remove or disable access to the material promptly — ordinarily within ten working days of a complete notice.
Where the material was published by us, we also correct the source so it does not reappear on a later deployment.
We keep a record of the notice and of what we did about it.

Removing material is not an admission that it infringed. It is what a responsible operator does while a claim is assessed, and it is reversible under section 8.

8. Disputing a takedown

If material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to info@aiwritingassistant.net containing:

Identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal.
A statement, given under penalty of perjury where that applies to you, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court, and agreeing to accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.
Your signature, physical or electronic.

We will forward a valid counter-notice to the original complainant. Where the applicable law provides for a waiting period before restoration, we observe it — typically ten to fourteen business days — and restore the material if we receive no notice that court proceedings have been started.

9. Repeat infringement

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the intellectual-property rights of others. What counts as repeated is judged on the facts — the number of substantiated complaints, whether they were upheld, and whether the conduct continued after warning.

Because we host no user content, this rule bites mainly on use of the tools themselves: for example, an account repeatedly used to launder protected text. Terminations follow the process and appeal route in the Community Guidelines.

10. Notices sent in bad faith

A takedown notice is a legal instrument, not a complaint form. Under the law of several countries, knowingly misrepresenting that material infringes exposes the sender to liability for the resulting damages and costs — including those of the person whose material was wrongly removed.

We take the process seriously in both directions. We will act promptly on well-founded notices, and we will decline notices that are plainly abusive, that target criticism or comparison rather than copying, or that assert rights the sender does not hold.

11. AI output and third-party rights

Results are produced by third-party AI models. We do not control their training data, and neither we nor any other provider can guarantee that generated text contains nothing resembling protected material. This limitation is genuine, and we would rather state it than bury it.

What follows from it, practically:

Check output before you publish it, particularly where the model may have reproduced a distinctive phrase, a lyric, a passage of a well-known work, or a substantial quotation.
Be careful with prompts that invite reproduction — asking for text “in the style of” a named author, or asking for a passage from a specific book.
The legal position on AI training and output is unsettled in most jurisdictions, and is being litigated. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and we cannot tell you how a court in your country would treat a particular output.
Responsibility for the finished work is yours. The Terms say so, and it reflects the reality that only you know what you intend to do with it.
