Do I get to keep my website if I cancel my Jottful subscription? Can I move it to a new hosting provider?

No, if you cancel your Jottful subscription, you will need to build yourself a new website on a new platform. You cannot just "move" it to a new hosting provider.

That's because your website was built on Jottful's platform (aka: "content management system") using Jottful's copyrighted and proprietary code. This is typical and it would be the same if you'd built your website on Wix, Squarespace, or other platforms. 

What you own

You own the copyright for the text that appears on your website and any images you provided to us. So, if you request it at the time you cancel your subscription, we can put your text and images into a folder and send it to you so you can use it to build a new website on a different platform.

Jottful's copyrights

Jottful owns the copyright for the website's code, including the CSS that controls the overall design look and feel. You can learn more about Jottful's copyright in the Master Service Agreement that governs our relationship.
