Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

StoryDreaming ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") provides interactive storytelling tools and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.

We may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version. Changes become effective on the date listed above. Your continued use of the Services after changes go into effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to create an account. Adults may supervise minors' use of the Services, but remain responsible for all activity under their account.
• You agree to provide accurate information, maintain the confidentiality of your credentials, and notify us promptly of unauthorized use.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts for suspected fraud, violation of these Terms, or misuse of the Services.

3. Subscriptions, Credits, and Payments

Certain features require payment of subscription fees or credits (stardust). Prices and billing intervals are described at the point of purchase and may change with notice. All fees are denominated in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise.

By purchasing a paid plan or credit (stardust) bundle, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your chosen payment method. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable.

We may offer promotional trials or discounts. Any such offer is subject to additional terms communicated at the time of the promotion and may be revoked at our discretion.

4. Generated Content and License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and timely payment of applicable fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and distribute the stories, illustrations, and audio generated specifically for you by the Services (the "Generated Content").

You are solely responsible for reviewing Generated Content before using it. We do not guarantee that Generated Content will be free from errors, infringing material, or harmful content. You agree not to rely on the Services for decisions that impact health, safety, financial status, or legal rights without independent verification.

5. User Content and Conduct

• You retain ownership of materials you upload or submit ("User Content"). You grant us a limited license to host, process, and display User Content solely to provide the Services.
• You represent that you have all necessary rights to the User Content and that it does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third-party rights or applicable law.
• You will not use the Services to produce or distribute content that is illegal, hateful, exploitative, or otherwise violates our community standards. We may remove User Content or suspend access when we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached.

6. Intellectual Property

Except for Generated Content and User Content, the Services and all related materials, including code, graphics, text, and trademarks, are owned by the Company or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms.

You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, sell, or lease any part of the Services unless expressly permitted in writing.

7. Feedback

If you provide comments, suggestions, or ideas ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that Feedback without restriction or compensation.

8. Third-Party Services

The Services may integrate with or link to third-party products and services. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for third-party services and disclaim any liability arising from your use of them.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES AND GENERATED CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that Generated Content will meet your expectations. You assume full responsibility for your use of the Services and any content produced.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE SIX MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) 100 U.S. DOLLARS.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or other liabilities that cannot be excluded by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Services, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access with or without notice if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or pose a risk to other users. Upon termination, Sections 4 through 15 will survive.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute arising under these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

14. Export Compliance

You must comply with all applicable export control and economic sanctions laws. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Services from, any jurisdiction embargoed by the United States and that you are not on any U.S. government restricted party list.

15. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Our failure to enforce any provision promptly does not waive our right to enforce it later.
