Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of Story For Them, run by Samy, a solo developer based in France ("we", "us"), reachable at hello@storyforthem.com. Full publisher identity is on the Legal notice page. By using the site at www.storyforthem.com, you agree to these terms.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or place an order. Children do not interact with the service. By submitting a child's first name, age, photo, or voice, you confirm that you are the parent or legal guardian of that child, or that you have explicit permission from one, and that you agree to the processing described in our Privacy Policy.

For each order, we generate a personalized children's book using a brief you provide. Depending on the format you choose, the order includes one or more of:

• a downloadable PDF of the illustrated story (24 pages);
• a narrated audiobook delivered as MP3 files;
• a printed hardcover book shipped by a print-on-demand partner.

Prices are shown on the site at checkout and range from $19 to $59 USD per order. Each purchase is a one-time transaction; there is no subscription.

Stories, illustrations, and narration are produced by automated systems (large language models, image models, and voice synthesis). Outputs vary between orders, can contain occasional errors or inconsistencies, and are not human-edited unless we explicitly tell you so. If your delivered book has a significant defect (broken images, missing pages, garbled text or audio), contact us and we will regenerate or refund.

You agree not to:

• submit briefs, photos, or voice samples that are unlawful, infringing, hateful, sexual, violent, or otherwise inappropriate for a children's book;
• upload images or voices of people without authorization;
• attempt to bypass rate limits, payment, authentication, or other technical controls;
• resell, redistribute, or use the generated content in advertising or merchandise without our written permission. Personal, non-commercial use within your family is fine.

We may refuse, cancel, or remove orders that violate these rules and may suspend repeat offenders.

You retain ownership of the brief, photos, and voice samples you submit and grant us the rights necessary to generate, store, and deliver your book. Once your order is paid (or comped via an invite code), you receive a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use the resulting personalized story for your personal, non-commercial use, including sharing it with family.

The site, brand, software, and underlying templates remain our property or that of our providers. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of third-party AI models or their outputs to you beyond the licence above.

Digital deliverables (PDF, audiobook):by clicking the checkout button you expressly request immediate delivery and acknowledge that, under article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code, you lose the 14-day statutory right of withdrawal once delivery has started. We will still consider refund requests for material defects on a case-by-case basis — email us within 14 days of delivery.

Printed books:you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from delivery for unopened, unused books, in line with the French Consumer Code. The book itself is bespoke (printed with your child's name and likeness), so we may decline withdrawal once the book has shipped, unless the book arrives damaged or with a manufacturing defect.

The service is provided "as is". We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that generated outputs will meet a specific expectation beyond the basic description on the site. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited (e.g. willful misconduct, gross negligence, or statutory consumer rights).

You may close your account at any time by emailing us at hello@storyforthem.com. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Termination does not affect orders already paid for; we will deliver them as scheduled.

These terms are governed by French law. Disputes will first be raised with us informally; if unresolved within 30 days, EU consumers may refer the dispute to the French consumer mediator and to the EU ODR platform. Subject to mandatory consumer protections, the courts of Paris, France have non-exclusive jurisdiction.

We may update these terms as the product evolves. Material changes will be communicated by email or a notice on the site, and the "Last updated" date will reflect the current version. Continued use of the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
