Payment and donations

The service provided by Writer's Trail is free (as in "free beer") and it'll always be so. We may in the future charge for premium features if destiny says so, but that is not in our plans.

As we are inspired by NaNoWriMo (though not endorsed by them in any way), we promise that half of the money earned will be donated to the NaNoWriMo organization. The remaining will be used to keep Writer's Trail website live, paying for hosting, domain and third party services used to operate fully. We may also use this money to improve the quality of the website.
