Terms of Service

HumanWroteThis is a tool that certifies the typing process — it records that text was entered character by character into our interface, without pasting or automated input. When you receive a certificate code, it means that the content associated with that code was typed manually into our system.

We do not verify the accuracy, originality, or authorship of the content itself. A certificate is not a claim that writing is good, true, original, or free of AI assistance outside our tool. It only certifies the act of typing. Someone could type AI-generated content character by character into our interface and receive a valid certificate — the certificate would accurately reflect that they typed it, and nothing more.

We also record the timing and order of your keystrokes as you type — when each change happened, in what sequence — so the certificate can be replayed and watched being written. This recording is part of the certificate and is public alongside it (see the Privacy Policy for details).

Our service is built around one rule: you must type directly into our interface. Voice-to-text, dictation, and other speech input do not satisfy the typing requirement — a certificate reflects keyboard input only. Pasting, drag-and-drop, and automated input are technically blocked. Any attempt to circumvent these restrictions — through browser automation, scripts, accessibility tools used to automate or simulate input rather than to assist genuine typing, or other means — violates these terms and voids any certificate produced.

You represent that you have the right to submit any content you type into HumanWroteThis. We do not verify ownership or originality of submitted content — if you type content you do not have the right to use, that is your responsibility. By submitting content, you grant us a limited license to store and display it as part of the certificate service. We do not claim ownership of your writing, sell it, or use it for any purpose other than operating the service.

All certificates are public — anyone with the code can view the content, the keystroke replay, and the author name (if set). You can delete your account and individual certificates at any time from your account settings.

HumanWroteThis uses technical controls — including restrictions on paste, drag-and-drop, and automated input — to make it difficult to obtain a certificate without genuine manual typing. We act in good faith to enforce these restrictions to the best of our technical ability.

However, no technical system can prevent all possible circumvention. If someone obtains a certificate through deceptive means — including but not limited to browser automation, scripted input, or manually replicating AI-generated content — that is solely the responsibility of the person who did so. HumanWroteThis is not liable for fraudulent certificates obtained by circumventing our controls, and makes no warranty that every certificate in our system was produced in good faith by its creator.

If you rely on a HumanWroteThis certificate in a professional, academic, or legal context, you do so at your own discretion. The certificate is one signal among many, not a guarantee.

HumanWroteThis is provided as-is. We make no guarantees about uptime, data retention, or fitness for any particular purpose. Certificate codes are not legally binding documents. We are not liable for any decisions made based on a certificate's existence or contents.

In plain terms: this is a useful signal, not legal proof.

You may not use HumanWroteThis to:

• Submit content that is illegal, defamatory, or violates others' rights
• Attempt to circumvent the typing restrictions
• Use automated tools to generate certificates at scale
• Misrepresent what a certificate means to third parties

If a certificate contains illegal, infringing, abusive, or otherwise harmful content, anyone can report it using the “Report this” link on the certificate page, or by emailing support@humanwrotethis.com with the certificate code. We review reports and will make reasonable efforts to remove or disable access to content at our discretion — including a certificate's content and its keystroke recording — and may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these terms.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HumanWroteThis and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your misrepresentation of what a certificate means to any third party.

We may update these terms as the service evolves. If something significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service means you accept the updated terms.
