Terms of Use
Last updated: June 13, 2026
Welcome to Tellwyn (https://tellwyn.com), a web magazine of original short fiction operated by [Legal Entity Name] (“Tellwyn,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the site, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. Eligibility — adults only (18+)
Tellwyn publishes fiction intended for adult audiences and may contain mature themes, language, violence, or sexual content. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) to use the site. By using it you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. The age confirmation we ask for is a self-attestation; misrepresenting your age is a breach of these Terms.
2. The fiction — and our use of AI
All stories, author names and personas, biographies, cover images, companion songs, and audio narration on Tellwyn are works of fiction produced and published by us with the assistance of artificial-intelligence tools. The “authors” are fictional personas, not real people. Names, characters, places, and incidents are products of the imagination or used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons (living or dead), events, or locales is entirely coincidental. Nothing on the site is factual reporting, advice (legal, medical, financial, or otherwise), or an endorsement of any conduct it depicts.
3. License to read and listen
We grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and enjoy the content for your own personal, non-commercial use, including saving stories for offline reading or listening through the features we provide. You may share links to stories. You may not, without our prior written permission: copy, republish, distribute, sell, or publicly perform the content; scrape, harvest, or bulk-download it; use it to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any machine-learning model; or remove any notices.
4. Intellectual property
The site and all of its content are owned by or licensed to [Legal Entity Name] and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Tellwyn and our logos are our trademarks. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
5. The Library, likes, and follows
Tellwyn does not require an account. Features such as your Library, saved and finished stories, reading progress, likes, and author follows are tied to an anonymous identifier stored on your device and, where you choose, synced via a private pairing or recovery code (see the Privacy Policy). These features are provided “as is.” We do not guarantee that this data will be retained, and clearing your browser storage or losing a recovery code may erase it.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to: use the site for any unlawful purpose; attempt to gain unauthorized access to it or to any data or systems; interfere with or disrupt the site (including via automated access, scraping, or excessive requests); circumvent the age gate or any security or rate-limiting measures; or misuse the likes, follows, or engagement features (for example, by automated or fraudulent activity).
7. Affiliate links and disclosure
Some links on the site may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. Where this applies it will be disclosed at or near the link. Affiliate relationships do not influence the fiction we publish.
8. Third-party links
The site may link to third-party websites or services we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, products, or privacy practices, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
9. Disclaimers
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, [Legal Entity Name] AND ITS OPERATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [Legal Entity Name] and its operators from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your misuse of the site or breach of these Terms.
12. Copyright complaints
If you believe content on the site infringes your copyright, see our Copyright / DMCA Policy for how to send a notice.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use after a change means you accept the revised Terms.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in North Carolina for any dispute not subject to arbitration or small-claims resolution.
