terms of service

Review IdeaDrawn's Terms of Service to understand the rules, rights, and responsibilities that apply when using the platform.

Effective Date: Updated: Terms of Service

Welcome to IdeaDrawn! By using our platform, you agree to the following terms. We’ve simplified things so you can focus on creating amazing art, but it’s still important to understand your rights and responsibilities.

Core Concept

  1. You own your work. Everything you create or upload is 100% yours.
  2. We only use your content to run the service. For example, to display it, show thumbnails, or enable collaboration.
  3. We won’t sell or use your content commercially without your explicit permission.
  4. You control your sharing. Your content is private unless you choose to share it.
  5. We’re committed to your privacy and security. Your data is protected and won’t be shared or sold.
  6. We do not use your artwork or uploaded content to train artificial intelligence models.

Detailed Terms

Accounts

  • Accuracy: When you create an account, provide accurate, up to date information.
  • Responsibility: You’re responsible for keeping your password secure and for any actions taken under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
  • Eligibility: You must be at least 13 years old to use IdeaDrawn. If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian must consent to your use.

Children’s Privacy

  • Under 13: IdeaDrawn is not intended for children under 13 years old, and users under 13 may not create accounts or use the service.
  • No Knowing Collection: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we may delete the account and related information.
  • Parent or Guardian Contact: If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to IdeaDrawn, contact us at [email protected] so we can review and take appropriate action.

Subscriptions & Payments

  • Plans: Some features require a paid subscription. IdeaDrawn currently offers a monthly plan billed at US $8.99 per month and an annual plan that is billed annually at an effective rate of US $6.99 per month.
  • Automatic Renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle, whether monthly or annually, unless you cancel before renewal.
  • Free Trials: Free trials may require payment information upfront. You won’t be charged until the trial ends, but fees will apply unless you cancel beforehand.
  • Price Changes: We may change our subscription pricing from time to time. If we do, we will provide at least two weeks’ notice before the new pricing takes effect. Continued use of a paid subscription after the new pricing becomes effective means you accept the updated pricing.
  • Cancellation: You can cancel your subscription anytime through your account settings where available, or by contacting us for help. We aim to make cancellation reasonably simple and available through the same general method used to manage your subscription where supported.
  • Effect of Cancellation: Cancellation stops future charges but does not automatically refund prior payments unless otherwise stated, approved by us, or required by law. Your paid access will continue through the end of the then current billing term unless otherwise stated.
  • Refunds: We review refund requests on a case by case basis. If approved, the refund will be processed according to your bank’s schedule, and it may take several business days to appear in your account.

Checkout Disclosures

  • Pre-Purchase Terms: Before you complete a paid subscription purchase, we will present the applicable subscription terms, including the plan price, billing period, renewal terms, trial terms if any, and cancellation instructions.
  • Recurring Billing Authorization: By subscribing, you authorize IdeaDrawn or its payment provider to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis according to the plan you choose, unless you cancel before the next renewal date.
  • Annual Billing Clarity: If a plan is described using an effective monthly price but billed annually, the checkout page will identify that the full annual amount is charged upfront for the selected billing term.

Third Party Payment Processors

  • Payment Providers: Payments may be processed by third party payment providers, such as card processors, checkout providers, app stores, or other billing services used by IdeaDrawn.
  • Processor Terms: Your payment information and billing activity may be subject to the payment provider’s own terms, privacy policy, security practices, refund rules, and dispute procedures.
  • Card Details: IdeaDrawn does not store full payment card details unless expressly stated. Payment providers may store and process payment details as needed to complete transactions, manage subscriptions, prevent fraud, and comply with law.

Chargebacks and Failed Payments

  • Failed Payments: If your payment method is declined, expires, or otherwise fails, we may suspend, downgrade, or limit access to paid features until payment is successfully completed.
  • Chargebacks: If a payment is reversed, disputed, or results in a chargeback, we may suspend or limit your account while the issue is reviewed and resolved.
  • Outstanding Balances: You remain responsible for any amounts owed for paid services you used before cancellation, suspension, or termination, except where prohibited by law.
