Terms of Service — Storydew

Effective date: 2026-06-04 Last updated: 2026-06-04

1. Agreement

By installing or using Storydew — AI Bedtime Stories ("the app", "Storydew") you agree to these Terms of Service. The app is published by Storydew ("we", "us"). If you don't agree, uninstall the app.

2. Eligibility & accounts

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account.
Storydew is designed for parents to use with children aged 3-10. Children must not operate the app unsupervised.
One person, one account. Don't share your Google account credentials to bypass purchase limits.

3. The service

Storydew gives you: - A library of pre-recorded bedtime stories (free tier). - 10 lifetime "Tonight's surprise" deliveries from a pre-generated pool, each preceded by a short ad (free tier). - One-time theme packs ($3.99 each, 10 stories per pack) available to both tiers. - A premium subscription (Storydew+) unlocking custom AI story generation with your child's name, 25 classic-tale rewrites, situational modes, recurring characters, multi-child profiles, an ad-free experience, and a cloud-synced library.

4. Pricing & billing

Product	Price (USD)	Type
Storydew+ monthly	$12.99 / month	Auto-renewing subscription
Storydew+ yearly	$99.99 / year	Auto-renewing subscription
Theme Pack (Christmas / Birthday / Halloween / Adventure)	$3.99 each	One-time, kept forever

All purchases go through Google Play Billing. We never see your payment method.
Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled in your Play Store account.
Local prices and currencies are set by Play; the amounts above are the US baseline.
We may change prices for future billing periods with at least 30 days notice via in-app banner; current periods are honored at the original price.

5. Cancellation, refunds, grace period

Cancel anytime from Play Store → Subscriptions. The cancellation is honored at the end of the current billing period.
Grace period: when your Storydew+ subscription is no longer active, your custom AI story library stays read-only in the app for 7 days on monthly plans or 14 days on yearly plans with a visible "locked" indicator and countdown. You will receive push reminders at 14, 7, 3, and 1 days remaining where applicable. After that window, the cloud copy of your custom stories is permanently deleted to keep storage costs honest. Theme packs are NOT affected — packs you bought are kept forever.
Refunds are handled by Google Play according to its standard policy. We don't process refunds directly.

6. Fair use of AI generation

The premium tier includes 2 custom stories per day and 10 per month. These caps are sized to keep the per-user generation cost below the subscription net revenue; abuse may result in temporary account suspension under §10.

7. Free-tier rules

10 lifetime "Tonight's surprise" deliveries — a hard cap, not a resetting allowance. Once consumed, free users can buy theme packs or subscribe.
Each free delivery requires watching a rewarded video to completion. Skip or load failure means the trial is not consumed.
Free users see banner and end-of-story interstitial ads. We tag every ad request as child-directed and request the lowest content rating Google offers.

8. Content & safety

Every AI-generated story passes a 4-layer moderation pipeline (custom blacklist → OpenAI Moderation → structured calming/age/safe check → up to 3 regeneration attempts → pre-written safe fallback).
A mandatory parent pre-approval screen lets you read the full story before your child does, and offers Regenerate or Save for Later.
You can report any story end-to-end. Reports are reviewed.
We do not guarantee any single story is perfectly suited to your child's individual circumstances — parental judgment remains the final filter.

9. Your responsibilities

You agree NOT to: - Try to bypass rate limits, App Check, or purchase verification. - Reverse-engineer the app to extract API keys or content libraries. - Use the app to generate content for purposes other than bedtime reading with your own household's children. - Resell, redistribute, or repackage any content (showcase, classics, pool, theme packs, or your premium custom stories). - Misrepresent your child's age or pretend to be an adult to bypass the 18+ gate.

10. Suspension & termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if: - You exceed the abuse threshold (>30 stories in 24 hours) — handled by automated anomaly detection. - We detect fraudulent purchases or chargebacks. - You violate §9. - A court order requires it.

You may delete your own account at any time from Settings → Danger → Delete account. Theme pack purchases (and your future Play Store re-installs of them) are governed by Play, not by us.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS". TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. AI-GENERATED CONTENT MAY OCCASIONALLY CONTAIN ERRORS DESPITE OUR MODERATION PIPELINE; YOU AGREE TO REVIEW STORIES BEFORE READING THEM TO YOUR CHILD.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

This does not limit liability that cannot legally be limited (e.g., gross negligence or willful misconduct).

13. Privacy

See our Privacy Policy. Highlights: - Your child's name, age, mood, profiles, and characters stay on your device by default. The only exception is the optional premium Cloud Backup setting (off unless you turn it on), which stores a copy under your own account so you can restore it on a new device; deleting your account erases it. - Premium custom story text is stored in the cloud with a [CHILD_NAME] placeholder — the real name is substituted only on your device. - Audio narration files are scoped to your account and reachable only via short-lived signed URLs.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes get an in-app notice the next time you open the app and a bumped "Last updated" date here. Continuing to use the app after the notice constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws that apply in your country or region of residence. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer-protection law in your country says otherwise.
