Terms of Service.
1. Acceptance
By downloading or using TaleBird, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
2. No account
You do not create an account to use TaleBird. There is nothing to sign in to, and there is no way to recover a lost device's content from us. Your stories live on your device only — back them up the way you back up the rest of your phone.
3. Subscription
TaleBird offers a free tier with a small number of stories per month, and an optional auto-renewing subscription ("TaleBird Plus") that increases that allowance. The subscription is sold by Apple under the standard App Store rules; Apple's billing terms apply. You can review, change, or cancel the subscription at any time from the App Store's Subscriptions screen on your Apple ID. Price, free trial duration (if any), and renewal terms are shown on the subscribe screen inside the app at the moment of purchase.
4. AI-generated content
The stories TaleBird produces are written by a large-language model in response to the inputs you provide. The model is not a person; it does not have judgment, taste, or context outside of what you give it. We design the prompts to keep the output kind, age-appropriate, and free of violence, scary content, and adult themes, but we cannot guarantee any particular sentence in any particular story. You are responsible for reading the result before reading it to your child, and for skipping any story you find unsuitable. Use the in-app "regenerate" or delete action to discard anything you do not want to keep.
5. Intellectual property
You retain whatever rights you have in the names, photos, and notes you put into TaleBird about your own family. Stories generated by the app for personal use are yours to read aloud, save, and share with family and friends.
Some built-in worlds in the App Store version of TaleBird are inspired by classic works that have entered the public domain in the United States (for example, Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne, Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum). TaleBird makes no claim of trademark or ownership in these works, and stories generated about them are not commercial publications.
6. Acceptable use
- TaleBird is intended for personal, family, non-commercial use.
- Do not use the app to generate content that depicts real, identifiable people without their consent, or that targets, harasses, or shames any individual.
- Do not attempt to bypass the in-app content safeguards or use TaleBird's servers for purposes other than story generation, narration, and cover illustration.
- Do not attempt to overload, scrape, or reverse-engineer TaleBird's servers.
We may, without notice, refuse or terminate access if a pattern of misuse is detected.
7. Availability
The hosted AI features depend on third-party service providers and on TaleBird's server infrastructure. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. When a provider is unavailable, the app may show an error and ask you to retry.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The app is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law we disclaim all implied warranties, including those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or related to your use of TaleBird is limited to the amount you have paid us, through Apple, in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
10. Changes
We may update these terms when the app's practices change. Material changes will be announced in-app before they take effect. Continued use of the app after a change indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the developer's country of residence, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes that cannot be resolved by good-faith discussion will be brought before the competent courts there.
