The terms of service, and why the marketing page cannot override them
The terms are the document that binds. A plan page describes what a subscription includes and is written to be read quickly, which is why a permission stated only on a plan card is weaker than the same permission stated in the terms. As of 2026-09-22.
| Question | What the phrase answers |
|---|---|
| A clause in the terms | Binding, and the version that governs |
| A line on a plan card | Descriptive, and usually accurate |
| An answer in a help centre | Often the clearest wording, and not the contract |
| A sentence in a blog post | Evidence of intent at a date, and little else |
Inclusion rule. Phrases that appear in more than one vendor's permissions documents and that change what a sentence means. A phrase used by a single vendor in a single clause is described on that vendor's own page instead. Order. Reading order: where you meet it, then what it settles, then what it does not.
1Weight and clarity run in opposite directions
The most readable sentence about a permission is usually in a help article, and the binding one is usually in a contract nobody finishes. That inversion is consistent enough to be planned around.
A register has to record where a sentence was found for exactly this reason. Two vendors with identical wording are not in the same position if one put it in the terms and the other put it in a tutorial.
2When two documents disagree
The terms govern, and the practical answer is still to ask. A mismatch is usually a drafting lag rather than a trap, and a supplier asked about it will either fix the page or confirm the clause.
What a reader should not do is choose the more favourable version for a deck. A client review that finds the other version will treat everything else in that deck as unverified.
3What the terms rarely contain
Plan names. The grant says paying customers or subscribers, and the definition of who qualifies is on the commercial page, which is the split that makes most of these readings two-document exercises.
That split is also why a plan rename can change who a contract covers without anybody amending the contract. The clause did not move; the list it points at did.
4A generator's account of it
Alongside the terms behind “Terms of service”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:
Every character, scene and prop card can carry a short list of the other names your script uses for the same thing.

5Where the sourced wording is
A word page, not an entry in the register: nothing above is attributed to any vendor and nothing above is legal advice. The quoted clauses are on commercial use, the column this phrase turns up in is commercial use from, and the reading rules are on the reading page. Next words: Plan card, Seat, Community licence.
