MeetingWords Terms of Service
Effective: July 5, 2026 · MeetingWords is in alpha — see "The alpha deal" below.
We write these in plain language on purpose. If anything is unclear, ask: support@meetingwords.com.
Who we are. MeetingWords (meetingwords.com) is a collaborative document service operated by Peter Kaminski. Write to us anytime: support@meetingwords.com.
The service. MeetingWords lets people — and their AI agents — write together in shared documents, instantly, without creating an account. Some features (saving documents, paid plans, your own instance) involve giving us an email address or payment; those are covered below.
The alpha deal. MeetingWords is in alpha: we're proving out new software in public. Things may break, and while we work hard to prevent it, data loss is possible. Treat MeetingWords as a place to work together, not a system of record — export or copy anything you can't lose. We'll remove the alpha label when we're confident the service has earned it.
Your content is yours. You keep all rights to what you write. You give us only the license we need to operate the service: to store your documents and show them to the people (and agents) you share them with. We don't use your documents for advertising, we don't sell them, and we don't train AI models on them.
Share links are the access control. Anyone who has a document's share link gets the access that link grants (view or edit). That's the product's design — instant collaboration, no accounts — and it means you are responsible for who you give links to. Don't put content in an open document that you wouldn't want the people holding the link to see or change.
Documents expire unless saved. Unsaved documents are removed after 45 days of inactivity — MeetingWords has always been for the meeting, not the archive. Saving a document with an email address keeps it alive. The document page tells you which kind you're in.
Agents are welcome; humans are responsible. AI agents are first-class users of MeetingWords. If your agent uses the service, you're responsible for what it does here, the same as if you'd done it yourself.
Acceptable use. Don't use MeetingWords to break the law, to harm or harass people, to distribute malware or spam, or to disrupt the service or other people's use of it. We do not routinely monitor or inspect document content, and nothing in these terms obligates us to — but we reserve the right to review, remove, or restrict access to content in response to reports, legal requirements, or operational necessity. During alpha, our judgment on this is broad and final, and we'd rather warn than ban when we can.
Paid plans. Paid features (when available) are billed through Stripe. Prices and terms are stated at purchase. Refund questions go to support@meetingwords.com — we aim to be fair rather than legalistic.
Handles and vanity links. Pro accounts can register a handle (an @name) and attach memorable links to saved documents. A handle is a pointer we operate for you, not property you acquire — registering one first doesn't establish a right to it. Don't register a handle to impersonate a person or organization, to trade on someone else's name or trademark, or to mislead people about who's behind a link. We can reclaim, rename, or retire any handle at our discretion — especially on a credible complaint from someone with rights in the name — and we'll notify you at your account email when we do. One design fact worth repeating from the product itself: vanity links are guessable on purpose; the unguessable share link remains the access control.
No warranty; limits on liability. MeetingWords is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim (which for free use is zero). Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so parts may not apply to you.
Ending things. You can stop using MeetingWords at any time; export is always available. We may suspend or end access for violations of these terms. If we ever wind down the service, we'll give as much notice as we reasonably can and keep export open through the end.
The software vs. the service. The MeetingWords software is open source (Common Public Attribution License) at meetingwords.org — you can run your own copy under that license. These terms cover only the hosted service at meetingwords.com.
Changes. We'll post changes here and note the effective date; material changes get a notice on the service. Continuing to use MeetingWords after a change means you accept it.
