Terms of use

The rules for using Collaborwriter, in plain English.

1. Who we are

Collaborwriter (collaborwriter.co.uk) is managed by Consilium Management Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 08983760), whose registered office is Ocean View Unit Base, 83 Grove Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH1 3AR ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the site, you agree to these terms.

2. Your account

  • You must be 18 or over to have an account.
  • Give a real email address and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what is done through your account.
  • You may use a pen name as your display name.
  • You can ask us to close your account at any time.

3. What Collaborwriter is

A free website where people write books together. We provide the space and the tools. We are not a publisher or an agent, we do not pay for writing, and we do not promise that any book will be finished or published.

4. Your writing

  • You keep the rights in what you write. We do not claim ownership of your books or sections.
  • You give us permission to store your writing and show it on the site to the people who are allowed to see it, so that the site can work. That permission ends when the writing is deleted, apart from backup copies, which are removed in the normal course of things.
  • How credit and ownership work between an author and the writers of a book is set out in the credit and ownership terms. Those terms are an agreement between the people working on a book.
  • Please keep your own copy of anything important. You can download a book's finished sections at any time.

5. How to behave

You agree to follow the submission guidelines, and not to:

  • submit writing that is not your own, or that breaks someone else's rights;
  • harass, threaten or pressure other people on the site;
  • try to get into other people's accounts or private books, or disrupt the site;
  • use the site to advertise, or to collect other people's details.

6. What we may do

We may remove writing, or suspend or close an account, if these terms or the submission guidelines are broken, or if we need to in order to protect other people or comply with the law. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you why.

7. Problems between people

Disagreements about a book are between its author and its writers. The site keeps a dated record of who wrote and changed what, which either side can rely on. We may help where we can, but we are not responsible for settling disputes.

8. The service

We work to keep Collaborwriter running and your writing safe, but the site is provided as it is, free of charge, and we cannot promise it will always be available or free from faults. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss of writing, loss of earnings or other indirect losses arising from your use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, or affects your rights as a consumer.

9. Changes

We may update these terms as the site develops. If a change is significant we will tell you by email or on the site before it takes effect. If we ever introduce paid features, they will be optional and clearly described first.

10. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts will deal with any dispute.
