Terms of Service

The short version

• Paper is permanent. Once a note prints, it exists in the world. There is no unsend, no delete, and no recall.
• Be someone worth printing.You are using another person's paper, printer, and desk. Harassment, hate, and flooding are not welcome here.
• Owners hold the controls. A printer owner decides who may send, how often, and what a share link allows — and can pause everything at any time.
• This is a preview. Paprbot is early. Things break, notes can fail, and we cannot promise the Service is always available.
• Disputes go to individual arbitration. You can opt out within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hello@paprbot.net.

These Terms are an agreement between you and Dragn Technologies LLC (“Paprbot,” “we,” or “us”) covering the Paprbot website, mobile apps, cloud-connected printers, public profiles, share links, integrations, and support (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or sending a note, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy explains what information moves through the Service and is part of this agreement. The separate store at shop.paprbot.com has its own terms covering purchases.

Who can use Paprbot

You must be at least 13 years old to use Paprbot, and older where your local law requires it. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, or if we have previously suspended or terminated your account.

Your account

Accounts are created through our authentication provider. Keep your sign-in method secure, use accurate information, and tell us promptly if you believe someone else has access to your account. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account.

Your handle is unique and public. We may reclaim a handle that impersonates someone, infringes a trademark, or is used to evade a block or suspension.

You can delete your account from the app at any time. Deletion removes your profile and user-scoped data as described in the Privacy Policy; it does not recall notes that already printed.

What the Service does

Paprbot renders a note you compose — text, drawings, and images — into an image, queues it for a recipient's thermal printer, and reports whether it printed. Notes can be sent to friends, to a pen-pal, through a public share link, through a connected integration such as Discord, or to your own printer.

Delivery is best effort. A printer can be offline, paused, out of paper, or full. A queued note waits up to 7 days and then expires undelivered. We do not guarantee that any note will print, arrive intact, or arrive on time.

Printing consumes the recipient's paper and their printer's working life. Send accordingly. We cannot retrieve, edit, or destroy a note after it prints — not on your request, and not on anyone else's.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you create. By sending a note you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, render, transmit, and display it strictly to operate the Service — to turn your note into an image, deliver it to the printer you chose, show its delivery status, and handle safety reports. This license ends when the content is deleted under our retention schedule, except for copies we must keep for a report, dispute, or legal obligation.

You promise that, for everything you send:

• you have the rights to send it, including rights to any photo, artwork, or text you did not create yourself;
• it does not infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; and
• it does not break these Terms or any applicable law.

We do not review notes before they print. Content filtering, where a printer owner enables it, is automated, imperfect, and checks written text only — it cannot inspect drawings or uploaded images. Do not treat it as a guarantee about what will come out of a printer.

Acceptable use

Someone else's printer is not an anonymous billboard. Do not use the Service to send, request, or enable:

• harassment, bullying, stalking, threats, or content intended to intimidate or humiliate a specific person;
• hate speech or slurs targeting people by race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation;
• sexual content sent to anyone who has not asked for it, and any sexual content involving minors under any circumstances;
• content that is illegal, promotes serious harm or self-harm, or facilitates violence;
• another person's private information — address, phone number, documents, or credentials — without their consent;
• spam, advertising, chain messages, or repeated sends intended to waste paper, exhaust a printer, or make it unusable;
• impersonation of another person, or content that misleads someone about who sent it;
• malware, phishing, or links intended to compromise a recipient.

And do not attack the Service itself. Do not:

• probe, scan, or interfere with our systems, or evade rate limits, filters, blocks, or printer-owner settings;
• claim or connect a printer you do not own or have permission to use, or tamper with another person's device;
• scrape, automate, or resell the Service without our written permission; or
• reverse engineer the Service except where that right cannot be waived by law.

Owning the printer does not exempt you. Sending yourself content that is illegal to possess is still illegal.

If you own a printer

You decide who can reach your printer. You can accept or refuse friend requests, block accounts, set daily limits per person, pause printing entirely, cap the height of a print, and create or delete share links. If you connect a printer to Paprbot, you are responsible for the settings you choose.

A printer holds a limited number of notes waiting to print at once. When that queue is full, new notes are refused until some print, are canceled, or expire. Notes that are never delivered expire after 7 days.

Because a note prints without your prior review, you may receive something you did not want. Report it in the app. You can also pause your printer immediately, and unplugging it always works.

Share links and anonymous senders

A share link lets people who are not your friends — and, if you allow it, people without an account — send to your printer. When you create one you choose what it permits: whether an account is required, whether images and drawing are allowed, how tall a print can be, how often someone can send, and whether text filtering applies.

Enabling a share link is your decision and its consequences are yours to manage. We recommend keeping images and drawing off for links you share publicly, since text filtering cannot inspect them. You can pause or delete a link at any time.

Sending without an account is not the same as sending anonymously. We record technical information with every send, including network and device identifiers, as described in the Privacy Policy. Anonymous senders are fully subject to these Terms, and abuse through a share link can be reported, blocked, and investigated.

Printers, firmware, and supplies

Printer hardware is bought separately and any sale is governed by the terms of the store you bought it from. These Terms cover the Paprbot software and cloud service that the printer connects to.

We may deliver firmware and software updates automatically, including updates that change or remove features or that are required for security. Keeping your printer up to date may be necessary for it to keep working with the Service.

You are responsible for the printer's physical operation and surroundings: its paper, its power, where it sits, and what it prints while you are not there. Thermal paper fades, and printed notes are not a durable record. We are not responsible for wear, consumables, or damage caused by normal use.

Reports and enforcement

You can report a note or an account from the app. We review reports and may act on them, but we do not promise a particular outcome or timeframe.

Where we reasonably believe these Terms have been broken, or that someone is at risk, we may remove or withhold content, restrict features, cancel queued notes, disable a share link, suspend or terminate an account, or refuse service. Where practical and lawful, we will tell you why and give you a way to respond. For serious harms — threats, sexual content involving minors, coordinated abuse — we may act immediately and without notice, and we may report to law enforcement.

You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive — content licenses already exercised, disclaimers, limits of liability, and governing law — continue to apply after your account ends.

Availability, changes, and fees

Paprbot is offered as an early preview. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, and we may impose or adjust limits — including rate limits, size limits, and queue limits — at any time. We do not commit to any level of uptime, and maintenance and outages will happen.

The Service is currently free to use. If we introduce paid features, we will describe the price and terms before you are charged, and you will not be charged for something you did not agree to.

We may update these Terms as Paprbot changes. We will post the revised version here and update the effective date. If a change materially affects your rights, we will give additional notice where required, such as in the app or by email. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it.

Disclaimers and limits of liability

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that any note will print, or that filtering will catch any particular content.

Paprbot is not a system of record and is not suitable for emergency, medical, financial, or safety-critical messages. Do not rely on it where a failed or delayed delivery would cause harm.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or the cost of substitute services. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty US dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of the two paragraphs above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dragn Technologies LLC and its officers, contractors, and agents from claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising out of your content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms — except to the extent the claim arises from our own wrongdoing.

Governing law, arbitration, and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

If you have a dispute, email hello@paprbot.net first and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally. Most issues are faster to settle that way than formally.

If we cannot resolve it in that time, you and we agree to binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be seated in Iowa, or conducted remotely, by phone, or by video where those rules permit. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration agreement.

Arbitration is individual only. You and we waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. You may bring only your own claims, and we may bring only our own.

Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies. Either of us may also seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or prevent misuse of the Service.

You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hello@paprbot.net with the email address on your account and a clear statement that you opt out. If you opt out, or if this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable for a particular claim, you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Iowa for that claim.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
