A home for your words — and a few house rules.

Who can use Noted

You must be at least 13 years old. We ask for your date of birth when you sign up and won’t create an account for anyone younger. If you’re under the age of adulthood where you live, you should have a parent or guardian’s permission. One person, one account — keep your password to yourself; you’re responsible for what happens on your account.

Your writing stays yours

You own the poems, comments and feedback you post. So that Noted can work, you give us permission to store, display and deliver your content to the people it’s meant for — publicly if you mark a poem public, or only to you if you keep it private. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies other people have already shared or saved, and short- lived backups.

Only post work you have the right to share. Don’t pass off someone else’s writing as your own.

Be kind

Noted is for honest, generous feedback. Don’t use it to:

• harass, bully, threaten or impersonate anyone;
• post hateful content, or content that sexualises minors;
• share other people’s private information;
• spam, scam, or post anything illegal;
• break, overload or scrape the service, or get around its security.

Writing about hard things — grief, anger, desire, pain — is welcome. Targeting real people with it is not.

Reports and moderation

If you see something that breaks these rules, email emmanuelkasuba2005@gmail.com with a link or a description. We may remove content or suspend or close accounts that break these terms, and we’ll explain why where we reasonably can.

Leaving Noted

You can delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → Delete account) or at noted.volante.center/delete-account. We may also end or change the service; if we shut Noted down, we’ll give reasonable notice so you can save your writing.

No guarantees

Noted is new and still in development. It’s provided “as is”: we work hard to keep it running and your writing safe, but we can’t promise it will always be available or free of errors. Keep copies of anything you can’t bear to lose.

To the extent the law allows, Volante Labs isn’t liable for indirect or consequential losses from using Noted. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be waived.

Changes

We may update these terms as Noted grows. We’ll change the date at the top, and tell you in the app about significant changes before they take effect. Continuing to use Noted after that means you accept the new terms.

Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Zambia. Questions: emmanuelkasuba2005@gmail.com.
