Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: February 10, 2025
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the mySTORYme website and web application (collectively, the "Service"), which is provided by mySTORYme ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not access or use our Service.
Important Notice for Parents and Guardians:
While the parent or legal guardian (the "Account Owner") is responsible for subscribing to mySTORYme, creating an account, and setting up story profiles, the primary user of the Service is typically the child for whom the story profile is created. By creating an account for or using the Service for a child under the age of 13, you represent and warrant that you are the child’s parent or legal guardian and consent to the collection and use of your child's information as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By registering for an account or using the Service in any manner, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy (incorporated herein by reference), and any additional policies or guidelines that may be posted on the Service from time to time.
2. Description of the Service
mySTORYme is a personalized storytelling platform that enables parents or legal guardians to create customized story profiles for their children. These profiles, which include details such as the child's name, age, interests, and story themes, are used to generate personalized stories that the child can read or listen to. Although the parent is the Account Owner—responsible for subscribing to the Service and managing account settings—the child will typically be the primary user of the application and consumer of the personalized content provided.

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and possess the legal authority to act on behalf of any child for whom you create an account or set up a story profile.
For Child Users:
Children under the age of 13 may use the Service only when an account has been created and managed by a parent or legal guardian. By creating an account for a child, you confirm that you are the child’s parent or legal guardian and that you have obtained any necessary consents required by applicable laws.
4. Account Registration and Parental Consent
Account Creation:
When you register for an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information as requested.
