Terms of service

These terms apply when you use Inkside. We kept them as short and clear as we could. This is a translation; the German version is legally binding.

1. Provider and scope

Inkside is provided by Luka Löhr, Weberstraße 8, 76133 Karlsruhe, Germany, email: luka@lukaloehr.com ("we"). These terms apply to all contracts between us and you about the use of the Inkside web app. Other terms do not apply.

2. The service

Inkside turns typed text into a handwriting that you drew yourself or picked from the Font Library, and exports the result as a Goodnotes file or PDF. The scope follows from the description on the website and your plan.

Free costs nothing and has usage limits (e.g. exports per day, pages per export). Pro removes most of these limits and unlocks extra features. Current limits are listed on the pricing page.

We aim for high availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access, for example during maintenance, outages at our providers or force majeure. We keep developing Inkside and may change features as long as the essential scope of a paid plan is preserved.

3. Account

Some features need an account, which you create with your email address. Keep access to your inbox secure; an account is meant for one person. You can delete your account at any time.

4. Pro subscription and Exam Week Pass

Pro is a subscription billed weekly, monthly or yearly. All prices are final prices including VAT. The contract is concluded when you click the order button at checkout and the payment via Stripe succeeds.

The subscription renews automatically for the chosen period unless you cancel before it ends. You can cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current period, without giving reasons, via "Manage subscription" or the cancel button in your account, or by email. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.

The Exam Week Pass is a one-time payment for 7 days of Pro. It does not renew and ends automatically.

We announce price changes for subscriptions at least 30 days in advance by email; they only apply from the next period. You can cancel before that.

5. Right of withdrawal for consumers

Withdrawal policy

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the contract is concluded. To exercise it, you must inform us (Luka Löhr, Weberstraße 8, 76133 Karlsruhe, email: luka@lukaloehr.com) of your decision to withdraw by a clear statement (e.g. an email). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not obligatory. To meet the deadline, it is sufficient to send your notice before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal: If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and at the latest within fourteen days from the day we receive your notice. We will use the same means of payment you used for the original transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise; you will not incur any fees as a result. If you requested that the service begins during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount proportionate to what has been provided until you informed us of your withdrawal, compared with the full coverage of the contract.

Immediate start: Pro is unlocked right after purchase. At checkout you expressly ask us to begin the service before the withdrawal period ends. For the Exam Week Pass you also confirm that you know your right of withdrawal expires once the service has been fully performed, i.e. after the 7 days (§ 356(4) BGB).

(*) Delete as appropriate.

6. Your content and the license for shared fonts

Your handwriting and your texts belong to you. You only grant us the rights we need to run Inkside for you, i.e. to store and process your content and generate files from it.

If you share your handwriting in the Library, you grant all other users a non-exclusive, free, worldwide right to use your handwriting in Inkside and to use the files they create with it for their own purposes. You allow us to show the handwriting with your display name in the Library and to generate previews of it.

You can stop sharing at any time. From then on, new users can no longer use your handwriting. Files that others created before may still be used by them.

Only share a handwriting that is really yours or for which you hold the necessary rights. We may remove shared fonts that infringe third-party rights or violate these terms.

7. Fair use

"Unlimited" in Pro means normal personal use. To prevent abuse, a technical cap applies (currently 200 exports per day). In particular, you may not:

  • forge signatures, certificates or other documents, or deceive anyone in legal dealings,
  • use it for exams or schoolwork that explicitly must be handwritten,
  • recreate or share another person's handwriting without their permission,
  • create unlawful, offensive or infringing content,
  • access the service automatically (scraping, bots), circumvent limits or attack our systems,
  • resell Inkside or the Library fonts as your own fonts.

If you break these rules we may remove content and suspend your account, for serious violations without prior warning.

8. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health and under the Product Liability Act. For slight negligence we are only liable for breaches of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes the contract possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Otherwise liability is excluded.

Please keep your own copies of important files. For data loss we are only liable to the extent that would have occurred had you backed up your data in the usual way.

9. Term and termination

You can stop using Free at any time by deleting your account (Account → "Your data"). Section 4 applies to Pro. The right of either party to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.

10. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms for the future if there is an objective reason (e.g. new features or a change in the law). For existing subscriptions we inform you by email at least 30 days in advance. If you don't object within that period, the changes are deemed accepted; we will point this out in the email. If you object, either side may cancel the subscription as of the date the change takes effect.

11. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer habitually resident in another country, the mandatory consumer protection rules of that country remain unaffected.

We do not take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. If any provision of these terms is invalid, the rest remains valid.
