These Terms govern your access to and use of the TaleTogether mobile application ("TaleTogether" or the "App"), including all features, functionalities, services, content, and any related websites or platforms provided by us (collectively, the "Services").

If you are accessing the App on behalf of a minor child or as a parent/guardian, you represent that you have the authority to bind yourself and the minor to these Terms. We reserve the right to refuse access to the App or Services to anyone for any reason at any time.

2. Description of Services

TaleTogether is a storytelling application designed to foster family bonding, emotional development, self-esteem, and personal growth for children aged 0-10 through personalized, interactive tales. Users can create custom Tales featuring their child as the Tale Hero, alongside Talemates and various Themes. The App emphasizes quality family time in a safe, ad-free environment, using family-provided data solely for Tale generation. It provides a non-dopamine-driven alternative to passive entertainment, targeting parents and guardians with household incomes of $80,000 or more who seek meaningful, privacy-focused digital experiences. All Tales are generated using AI technology and are intended for personal, non-commercial use only.

‍

3. User Rights and Responsibilities

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, onEins LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the App and Services solely for personal, non-commercial purposes. This license permits you to upload information (e.g., names, descriptions, photos) to generate Tales, purchase Coins through Apple IAP to unlock Themes or additional generations, and share Tales within your family circle.

As a User, you are solely responsible for:

  • Ensuring that all content you upload or provide (including photos, names, and descriptions) complies with applicable laws, including but not limited to copyright, privacy, publicity, and child protection laws.
  • Obtaining all necessary consents from individuals (including minors) depicted or referenced in your inputs.
  • Using the App in a manner that promotes positive family interactions and does not harm minors' well-being.

Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

  • Using the App for any illegal, fraudulent, harmful, or unauthorized purpose, including generating Tales that are discriminatory, violent, or inappropriate for children.
  • Uploading content that is obscene, defamatory, harassing, infringing, or otherwise violates third-party rights.
  • Attempting to reverse-engineer, decompile, hack, circumvent, or interfere with the App’s code, AI models, systems, security measures, or intellectual property.
  • Sharing, distributing, or commercializing generated Tales without our prior written consent.
  • Creating multiple accounts to circumvent limitations or engage in abusive behavior.

Violation of these responsibilities may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account, deletion of content, forfeiture of Coins, and pursuit of legal remedies, including reporting to authorities if involving child safety.

‍

4. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the App, Services, AI models, Themes, and any underlying technology (including software, algorithms, and interfaces) are owned exclusively by onEins LLC or its licensors. By providing inputs (e.g., photos, descriptions) to generate a Tale, you grant onEins LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to store, process, reproduce, modify, and transform such inputs solely for the purpose of generating Tales and providing the Services.

You retain ownership of your inputs and the resulting Tales. We claim no ownership in your content; however, we reserve the right to store, display, and manage Tales on our Server to enable your access, retrieval, and family sharing within the App. We may also use anonymized, aggregated, de-identified data from User interactions (e.g., Tale preferences) to improve the App, train AI models, conduct research, or for analytics, provided such use complies with privacy laws and does not identify you or any individual.

You agree not to remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices in the App or generated Tales.

‍

5. Privacy and Data Protection

We are committed to protecting your privacy and that of your family, especially children. TaleTogether collects and processes Personal Data to provide Services, including:

  • User-provided information for Tale creation (e.g., child names, photos, Talemate details).
  • Authentication data (e.g., Apple ID, email address).
  • Usage data (e.g., interactions, preferences, device information).

To safeguard privacy:

  • Uploaded photos and sensitive inputs are processed transiently and deleted from our systems immediately after Tale generation, with only the resulting Tale retained.
  • Tales are stored securely and not shared with third parties except as required by law, for service provision (e.g., via our Backend providers), or with your consent.
  • We use third-party services (Supabase, Google Cloud, BuildShip, Resend) that may process data under their privacy policies; we select providers with robust security measures.

For children under 13, we comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar laws. Parental consent is required for any child data collection, and we do not knowingly collect data from children without it. Our full data practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy, accessible in the App or at [insert link]. By using the App, you consent to our data practices.

‍

6. Authentication and Security

TaleTogether supports secure authentication via: (i) Sign in with Apple, collecting minimal data for verification; or (ii) email-based OTP, sent via Resend. We do not store passwords; OTPs are time-limited and single-use. You must maintain the confidentiality of your credentials and are responsible for all account activities. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access at info@oneins.studio. We may implement additional security measures, such as two-factor authentication, as needed.

‍

7. In-App Purchases

Coins can be purchased exclusively through Apple IAP and are used to generate Tales (e.g., 5 Coins per Theme). Transactions are governed by Apple’s terms; Coins are non-transferable, non-refundable once used, and may be forfeited upon account deletion or App uninstallation. We do not process refunds—direct requests to Apple. We may offer promotions or free Coins at our discretion, subject to additional terms.

‍

8. Tale Generations

Each Tale generation requires Coins (e.g., 5 per Theme) and is based on your inputs. Tales are stored indefinitely on the Server unless deleted by you or us (e.g., for inactivity). You may download Tales for personal use. We reserve the right to implement storage limits or retention policies with notice.

‍

9. User Conduct and Content Moderation

You must use the App responsibly, ensuring all inputs and Tales are appropriate for family audiences. We may monitor content for compliance and remove objectionable material. Violations may lead to account actions without notice.

‍

10. AI Limitations and Disclaimers

Tales are AI-generated and provided "as is." We do not guarantee accuracy, suitability, or absence of biases. AI outputs may vary; use at your own risk. The App is not a substitute for professional advice (e.g., educational or psychological).

‍

11. Data Retention and Deletion

Tales and data are retained as needed for Services. You may request deletion via the App or email. Upon account deletion (via Settings), all data is permanently erased—irreversible, with forfeiture of Coins.

‍

12. Parental Controls and Child Safety

As a family app, we provide tools for parental oversight. You must supervise minor use and ensure compliance with age-appropriate guidelines. We comply with COPPA; no direct child accounts without consent.

‍

13. Liability and Indemnification

The App is provided "as is" without warranties. Our liability is limited to the amount paid for Coins in the prior 12 months. You indemnify us against claims from your use, inputs, or violations.

‍

14. Termination

You may terminate by deleting the App or requesting closure. We may terminate for any reason, with forfeiture of access.
