Terms of Service
Last Updated: September 17, 2026
Welcome to Linya. By accessing or using our AI-powered writing platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Linya ("we," "us," or "our"). Your use of the platform indicates your acceptance of these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Linya is an AI-powered writing platform that provides the following services:
- Writing Tools: Advanced editor, chapter management, and document organization
- AI Assistance: AI-powered writing suggestions, content generation, and creative tools
- Character & World Building: Tools for developing characters, worlds, and story elements
- Knowledge Base: Document storage and reference management (Pro tier and above)

- Audiobook Creation: AI-generated audiobooks with voice casting (Author tier)

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the service at any time with reasonable notice to users.
2.1 Beta Program
Linya is in beta. Features may change, behave unexpectedly, or be removed, and the service may be interrupted while we improve it. We work to protect your content, but please keep your own copies of work that matters to you.
Your content stays yours and stays with you. Your account and everything you have written carry over when the beta ends. If we ever need to end the beta without a paid plan to move to, we will tell you at least 30 days in advance so you can copy your work out.
Beta discounts. A beta code applies only to the plan, discount and period stated when you redeem it. When that period ends, your subscription continues at the regular price only if a payment method is on file; otherwise it ends and your account moves to the Free plan. Your content is kept either way. You can cancel at any time from Billing.
Feedback. Anything you send us about Linya (for example through "Send feedback") may be used to improve the service without obligation or payment to you. Please do not include other people's confidential information. We may reply to you by email about your feedback.
