Terms of service

1. Who we are

saynext.io (the “Service”) is operated by [YOUR FULL NAME OR COMPANY NAME], company number [COMPANY REGISTRATION NUMBER],[STREET, POSTCODE, CITY, COUNTRY], e-mail [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL] (“we”). See the imprint.

2. What the Service is

The Service shows one sentence on a public web page (“the wall”). Anyone can pay to replace it with a sentence of their own. The replaced sentence is kept in a public archive. There are no user accounts.

3. Price and payment

  • The price depends on where you are, as detected from your connection: €1 per word (EUR) for everyone else, and €10 for the longer protection; $1 per word (USD) in the United States, and $10 for the longer protection; for sentences of up to 12 words and 120 characters. The total is shown before you pay.
  • Prices are shown without tax. VAT (or sales tax) is added on top where it applies, based on your country, and the full total including tax is shown on the payment page before you pay.
  • Payment is handled by Stripe on Stripe’s own page. We never see or store your card details.
  • Your sentence is checked before you pay. If it is rejected, you are not charged.
  • Paying does not publish anything: your sentence goes up only when you press Publish after Stripe has confirmed your payment. We check your sentence and username again after payment. If that second check fails, or our checking service is unavailable, we refund you automatically.
  • To prevent abuse, one person cannot pay again for 1 minute after a payment, and we limit how often the payment form can be used.

4. Protection period and queue

After a sentence goes live it is protected from replacement for 1 minute, or for 10 minutes if you buy the longer protection (see section 3) at checkout. If you press Publish during someone else's protection, your sentence waits in the queue and goes live automatically, in the order people pressed Publish, when the sentence ahead of it is no longer protected. The queue has no length limit, so you can always publish; how long you wait depends on how many sentences are ahead of you. We do not promise how long any sentence stays up: it may be replaced as soon as protection ends, or removed under section 7.

5. Digital content and your right of withdrawal

Paying does not publish your sentence. After payment we send you a private link (by e-mail, and on the page you return to from Stripe). On that page you publish your sentence by ticking a box saying “Publish my sentence now. I ask you to start the service immediately, and I understand that I lose my right of withdrawal once my sentence is published or placed in the queue.” and pressing Publish. If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or UK, you have 14 days from payment to withdraw from the contract. Until you press Publish you can withdraw with the “Withdraw” button on the same page and get a full refund. Once you press Publish, we start the service at your express request and you lose the right of withdrawal. We confirm your request by e-mail. After 14 days an unpublished purchase can still be published, but no longer withdrawn. See refunds & withdrawal. Your statutory rights (for example if we do not deliver) are not affected.

6. Content rules

  • Plain text only, up to 12 words and 120 characters. No links, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, @handles, HTML or long runs of symbols or emoji.
  • No illegal content; no hate speech, threats, harassment, sexual content involving minors, doxxing or personal data of others; no spam, scams or impersonation.
  • You must have the right to publish what you write.

7. Moderation, removal and complaints

We use a blocklist, an automated moderation service (OpenAI) and human review. We may remove any sentence or username that breaks these terms or the law, refuse or refund payments, and block abusive connections (using a hashed IP address). When we remove something we e-mail the author (using the address held by Stripe) a statement of reasons and explain how to complain. Complaints: [YOUR COMPLAINTS EMAIL]. We review them without undue delay and with human involvement; you may also use an out-of-court dispute settlement body, contact your national authority, or go to court. To report illegal content use the report form.

8. Usernames

A username is optional. The first time a payment with a name is confirmed, that name becomes yours: only you can use it after that, as often as you like. It is tied to the e-mail you paid with and, if you are signed in, to your account. You prove it is yours with your account, or on a device you used to buy with it (we keep a private key in that browser), or with a one-time link we e-mail to the address that paid. We never tell anyone whether an e-mail address owns a name. If you withdraw or are refunded before the sentence that claimed a name was ever shown, the name is released again. A name nobody has used for 12 months becomes free for anyone to claim; its leaderboard history stays with the name. Look-alikes (other letters that look the same, or digits such as 4 for a) count as the same name. Owning a name does not give you any right to it outside this Service.

Names are compared ignoring capital letters, and spaces and hyphens are treated alike (“Jane Doe” and “jane-doe” are the same name). All sentences with the same name are grouped on the same leaderboard entry and user page, shown with the spelling used in the most recent sentence. Empty names appear as “Anonymous” and have no page or leaderboard entry. Some names are reserved (for example admin, moderator, support, stripe, paypal) and look-alikes are refused. We can rename, remove or permanently ban a name. The leaderboard counts the total time sentences with that name were on the wall; time of removed sentences, removed names and Anonymous posts is not counted.

9. Your content is public

Your sentence and username are shown publicly on the wall, in the archive, on the leaderboard and on user pages, and may be indexed by search engines and copied by others. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display and store them for as long as the Service runs. Because we keep a public archive, we do not delete sentences on request unless there is a legal reason (see the privacy policy for how to ask).

10. Refunds

We refund automatically when we cannot publish your sentence, and may refund in other cases at our discretion. See refunds & withdrawal.

11. Availability and liability

The Service is provided as is and may be unavailable at times. [LAWYER: limitation of liability suitable for your jurisdiction. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for consumers.]

12. Changes, governing law

We may change these terms for future purchases; the version shown when you pay applies to that purchase. These terms are governed by the law of [COUNTRY WHOSE LAW GOVERNS THESE TERMS]. If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you live still apply, and you may bring a claim in the courts of that country.
