These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Storybook Studio app and its web viewer for shared books (the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms.
1. Who we are
The Service is provided by Dave App Development Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, trading as “Settle” (“Settle”, “we”, “us”). You can reach us at [email protected].
2. The Service
Storybook Studio helps you make illustrated storybooks for your children. You describe a story, and the app asks an AI provider you choose to write and illustrate it; your child reads the finished book in the app. Pro, a one-off purchase, unlocks extra features such as voice recordings and Google Drive backup.
3. Eligibility & your account
- You must be at least 18 years old to make books, add an AI provider key, buy Pro or share a book. Children may read books in Reader mode under your supervision.
- You need an account only to make share links. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your phone and sign-in secure.
4. Your AI provider and your key
To make books you add your own key for an AI provider (OpenAI, Google Gemini or Anthropic). Your use of that provider is under your own agreement with them: you must accept and follow their terms, you pay them for what you use, and they, not we, provide and are responsible for their service. Some providers require you to be 18 or over or to use a paid plan for some features.
Stories and pictures are generated by the provider’s AI. They may be inaccurate, unexpected or unsuitable, and the same brief can give different results. Read each book before you show it to a child.
5. Your books
The briefs, books, Characters and photos you make or add are yours, subject to your AI provider’s terms on generated content. You confirm you have the right to use anything you add, including the consent of any person in a photo you use. We do not claim ownership of your books. When you share a book, you allow us to store it and show it to anyone with its link until the link expires, you revoke it or you delete your account.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the Service, including not to:
- make or share content that is sexual, violent, hateful, harassing or dangerous, or that sexualises, endangers or exploits a child in any way;
- make or share content that is unlawful, infringes someone else’s rights, or uses a photo or likeness of a person without their consent;
- use the Service in breach of your AI provider’s terms; or
- attempt to break, overload, reverse-engineer or gain unauthorised access to the Service.
Anyone can report a shared book. We may take down a shared book, or close an account, that breaks these Terms, and we report child sexual abuse material to the authorities.
7. Purchases
Pro is a one-off purchase through Google Play, at the price shown there, and is tied to your Google Play account. Payment, and refunds, are handled by Google Play under its terms. Your statutory consumer rights are unaffected. AI provider charges are between you and your provider and are not refundable by us.
8. Intellectual property
The Service, its design and branding are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose.
9. Privacy
Our handling of your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. You can delete your account at any time, as described on our account deletion page.
10. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that the Service, or any AI provider, will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that generated stories and pictures will be accurate or suitable. Keep your own copies of books that matter to you: they are stored on your phone, and lost if you uninstall the app without a backup.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, for content generated by an AI provider, or for your AI provider’s service or charges, and our total liability arising from the Service is limited to the greater of what you paid us for Pro and £100. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and your statutory consumer rights are unaffected.
12. Changes
We may update the Service or these Terms. If we make material changes we will update the date at the top of this page; continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes are subject to the courts of England and Wales, without affecting any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live.
