Simple terms.
Honest ones.

Accepting these terms

By using hushmuse — whether or not you have an account — you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the product.

These terms apply to hushmuse.com and all associated services.

Your account

You can use hushmuse for a first session without an account. To save your writing and return across sessions, you’ll need to create a free account using your email address.

• —You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure
• —You must be 16 or older to create an account
• —One account per person — shared accounts are not permitted
• —You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account

If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at hello@hushmuse.com.

Your writing belongs to you

You grant hushmuse only the minimum permissions necessary to deliver the service — specifically, the ability to store your writing securely and pass it to our AI provider to generate coaching feedback. Nothing more.

hushmuse will never publish, share, sell, or use your writing for any purpose beyond running the product for you.

What hushmuse provides

hushmuse provides a writing environment and AI-powered coaching feedback. Specifically:

• —A distraction-free editor for writing
• —On-demand coaching observations that help you think more clearly about your writing
• —Selection-based chat for research and contextual questions
• —Secure storage of your writing across sessions

hushmuse is a coaching tool, not a writing service. We do not write content for you. The coaching observations provided are intended to prompt your own thinking — they are not professional editorial, legal, medical, or any other form of licensed advice.

Acceptable use

You may use hushmuse for any lawful writing purpose — personal, creative, professional, or commercial.

You may not use hushmuse to:

• —Write or distribute content that is illegal in your jurisdiction
• —Harass, threaten, or target any individual or group
• —Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract data from the product
• —Circumvent any security or access controls
• —Use the product in any way that could damage or overburden our infrastructure
• —Create accounts for automated or bot use without prior written permission

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms without prior notice.

Subscription and payments

hushmuse offers a free tier and a paid subscription tier. Details of what each tier includes are available on the hushmuse pricing page.

• —Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually as selected at signup
• —You may cancel your subscription at any time — access continues until the end of the current billing period
• —Refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis — contact us at hello@hushmuse.com
• —Prices may change with 30 days notice to existing subscribers

Payment processing is handled by a third-party provider. hushmuse does not store your payment card details.

Availability and changes

hushmuse is an independent product under active development. We aim to keep it available and reliable but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access.

We may update, change, or discontinue features of hushmuse at any time. For significant changes that affect your use of the product, we will provide reasonable notice.

If we ever decide to shut down hushmuse entirely, we will give users at least 60 days notice and provide a way to export all writing before closure.

Intellectual property

The hushmuse product — including its design, code, brand, and coaching methodology — is the intellectual property of hushmuse. These terms do not grant you any rights to use the hushmuse name, logo, or brand.

Your writing is entirely your intellectual property. See “Your writing belongs to you” above.

Limitation of liability

hushmuse is provided as-is. To the fullest extent permitted by law, hushmuse is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the product.

In plain terms — we’ll do our best to keep your writing safe and the product working. If something goes wrong, our liability is limited to the amount you’ve paid us in the last 12 months.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Finland. Any disputes will be resolved in Finnish courts, unless applicable consumer protection law in your country provides otherwise.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll notify you by email and update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of hushmuse after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

We will never change these terms in a way that retroactively claims ownership of writing you’ve already created in hushmuse.
