Terms & Conditions

Last reviewed on 30 May 2026. These terms govern your use of JOTMILL. By creating an account you agree to them.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country, whichever is higher) and capable of entering a binding contract.

2. Roles

JOTMILL supports three roles in a single platform: Reader, Creator, and Advertiser. A single account can hold more than one role; subscription plans are unified across roles.

3. Your content

• You retain ownership of everything you publish.
• By publishing you grant JOTMILL a worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, display, distribute via email, and promote your content within the platform.
• You are responsible for ensuring you hold the rights to anything you upload.

4. Subscriptions and payments

• Plans are listed at /pricing. Prices and allowances are shown there and may be updated by JOTMILL with advance notice.
• Stripe processes payments. Failed payments enter a dunning window before suspension.
• Cancellation rules and refund eligibility are described in the refund policy.

5. Ad marketplace

• Creators may sell ad slots inside their content. Advertisers buy at the listed price; payment is held in escrow until the slot goes live.
• An advertiser may request a refund within 24 hours of placement going live, or the auto-refund cron returns funds if the slot has not run within 60 days.
• Admin reserves the right to block ads that violate community guidelines.

6. Prohibited use

• No content that is illegal, defamatory, infringing, harassing, or sexually explicit involving minors.
• No scraping, automated abuse, or attempts to circumvent quotas.
• No sending unsolicited bulk email (cold "spam") through the newsletter tools — recipients must have opted in.

7. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You may close your account at any time from your account settings. Closed accounts retain financial records for tax compliance.

8. Disclaimer

The service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. JOTMILL is not liable for indirect or consequential damages to the extent permitted by applicable law.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where JOTMILL is registered. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
