Terms of Service
Effective: April 1, 2026Last updated: September 17, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using PaidWrite (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
PaidWrite is an AI-powered document analysis tool that helps contractors and subcontractors in California identify potential compliance issues in construction documents. The Service includes:
- Mobile application (iOS and Android)
- Browser extension (Chrome, currently in private beta)
- Email-based document submission (scan@email.paidwrite.app)
PaidWrite has no user accounts, logins, or passwords. Your use of the Service is tied to a random identifier generated on your device.
PaidWrite does not provide legal advice. See our Disclaimer.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use PaidWrite. By using the Service, you represent that you are 18 or older.
4. Payment Terms
4.1 Pricing
There are two ways to pay for a full analysis, and the exact price is always shown before you pay:
- Pay-as-you-go: $2.00 per page plus a small AI processing fee, typically a few cents (billed at the actual token rate, currently about $0.00225 per 1,000 tokens).
- Prepaid credits: credits cost $2.00 each and are sold in a 10-pack ($20.00). One credit unlocks one full document analysis, regardless of page count. Credits are tied to the device that bought them and can be shared through a pilot or organization pool where one has been arranged.
Prices are in US dollars. We may change prices for future purchases at any time; a change never affects an analysis you have already paid for or credits you already hold.
4.2 Payment Processing
Payments are processed by Stripe through Stripe Checkout, which opens in your device's system browser. By making a payment, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. We do not store payment card information.
4.3 Refunds
Because analysis results are delivered immediately upon payment, refunds are not guaranteed. If you believe you were charged in error (for example, a duplicate charge, or credits that never arrived), contact support@paidwrite.app within 7 days of the charge. We review every claim; approved refunds are returned to your original payment method and reverse the corresponding credits.
4.4 Free Preview
The free preview (risk level badge, document type, page count) never costs anything. Payment is only required to unlock the detailed compliance analysis.
4.5 Rate Limits
Scans are rate-limited per device to prevent abuse. There is no general free tier; contact support@paidwrite.app if you need higher throughput.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
- Submit documents containing information about third parties without their consent
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or overload the Service
- Use the Service to create competing AI training datasets
- Impersonate another person or entity
For detailed acceptable use rules, see our Acceptable Use Policy.
