Terms

By using SintGedicht you agree to these terms. They are kept short and written in plain language.

1. Who we are

SintGedicht (sintgedicht.com) is a tool for writing Sinterklaas poems, offered by SintGedicht, Nederland. You can reach us at [email protected].

2. Give and take

You can use the basics of the site without paying. The costs are covered by ads, donations and Sint Premium. We ask you to use the site in the spirit of Sinterklaas evening: you write for someone else, with good intentions. If you like, you share your finished poem anonymously, so that the next writer gets better suggestions. Sharing is always a free choice and never a condition.

3. What is and is not allowed

• The site is meant for personal, non-commercial use.
• You are 16 years or older, or you use the site with the permission of a parent or guardian. For a payment you must be 18 years or older or have permission.
• You do not use the site to create texts that are threatening, hateful, discriminatory or sexual in nature, or that violate anyone's privacy.
• You do not access the site in an automated way, do not copy the rhyme index on a large scale and do not try to circumvent the security or limits.

In case of misuse we may restrict access, close an account or remove content, without prior notice.

4. Your text

What you write remains yours. You are responsible for the content of your poem and for what you do with it. If you save a poem in your account, you give us permission to store it and display it for you.

If you choose to share a finished poem, we first remove names and personal details. We may then use the anonymous text permanently to improve the rhyme help and the poet. Because the text can no longer be linked to you, we cannot find or delete a shared poem afterwards.

5. The poet

The poet's suggestions are generated automatically by a language model. The rhyme check is an aid and not a guarantee. A suggestion may contain mistakes, turn out awkward or resemble existing texts. Always read through what you are going to give. What the poet makes for you, you may use freely.

6. Accounts

An account is optional. You choose a username or email address and a password yourself. Keep your password and recovery code secret. We never send email, so without the recovery code we cannot restore a forgotten password. You can delete your account yourself at any time. We may delete accounts that have not been used for 24 months. We do not delete an account with a running subscription for that reason.

8. Availability

SintGedicht is a small project. We do our best to keep the site reachable and fast, but we do not promise uninterrupted operation. Around Sinterklaas evening there may be a queue for the poet. We may change, restrict or stop the site. If we stop, we will refund the unused part of a running subscription.

9. Donations

A donation is a voluntary gift with nothing in return. Payments go through a payment service. We do not receive payment details. A donation is not refunded, except in the case of an obvious mistake that you report within 14 days.

10. Ads and links

The site may contain ads and links from third parties. We are not responsible for the content of those ads or of the sites they lead to.

11. Liability

The site is offered as it is, without guarantees. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for damage arising from the use of the site, the poet's suggestions, loss of saved texts or the site being temporarily unavailable. In any case our liability is limited to the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before. These limitations do not apply in the case of intent or deliberate recklessness on our part. Rights that you have as a consumer under the law remain in force.

12. Changes

We may change these terms. The date at the bottom shows when that last happened. We announce important changes on the site. If you keep using the site, the new terms apply.

13. Law

Dutch law applies to these terms. We submit disputes to the competent Dutch court. As a consumer you may also always go to the court of your own place of residence.
