5. Permitted Use

You may use Writion solely for your own personal, professional writing and publishing management. Your account is personal and non-transferable. Any use of Writion outside of these terms is not permitted.

6. Your Content

You retain full ownership of all content you enter into Writion — including your project details, notes, contacts and financial records. By using the service, you grant Writion a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and process your content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you. We do not use your content for any other purpose, and we do not share it with third parties.

7. Payments & Refunds

Subscription fees are charged as agreed at sign-up. Prices are displayed in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) for New Zealand users and Australian Dollars (AUD) for Australian users, and are exclusive of GST where applicable. GST rates differ by jurisdiction — 15% in New Zealand and 10% in Australia. Refund requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. If you cancel your subscription, your access continues until the end of your current billing period.

8. Account Termination

Writion reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time if you breach these terms, engage in prohibited conduct, or behave in a manner that is harmful to other users or the platform. You may also close your account at any time by contacting us at support@writion.co.nz.

Writion New Zealand Limited does not endorse, recommend or take responsibility for any business or individual listed. Users are advised to carry out appropriate due diligence — including checking references, credentials and terms — before engaging any service provider or entering into any contractual or financial arrangement.

Inclusion in the Industry Directory is at the sole discretion of Writion New Zealand Limited. We reserve the right to add, edit or remove any listing at any time and without notice. Listing in the directory does not constitute a commercial relationship between Writion and the listed business.
