TalyTales - Terms of Use

‍

Effective Date: November 4, 2025
Entity: onEins LLC, 3833 Powerline Rd, Suite 101‑K, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309, USA (“onEins,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the TalyTales iOS application and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy available at talytales.com/legal/app-privacy-policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Age & Authority. The Service is offered to parents/guardians 18+ (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age and have the authority to submit information and images of any minor you include and to bind that minor to these Terms.

‍

1. Definitions

  • Account: A registered user account for the Service.
  • Tale: A personalized, AI‑generated story created from user inputs.
  • TaleMate: A customizable character (e.g., parent, friend, pet, plush toy) that can appear in Tales.
  • Illustration: A stylized, non‑photographic image generated by the Service to represent a person or character in a Tale (including Tale images and Tale covers).
  • Magic Ink: The virtual currency used within the Service to generate content. Magic Ink consists of (i) “Subscription Magic Ink” (credits allocated per subscription period which may roll over subject to limits) and (ii) “Permanent Magic Ink” (credits purchased via one‑time IAP). Within the app, these may be displayed collectively as “Magic Ink.”
  • Offline Copy: A copy of a Tale (and its Illustrations) made available for viewing within the app when the device is offline. Offline Copies remain subject to these Terms and cannot be exported.
  • User Content: Any data or materials you submit (e.g., names; month & year of birth; relationships; accent color; gender; photos; text/voice prompts) and the resulting outputs (Tales and Illustrations), excluding the Service’s underlying technology.
  • Processors: Our service providers, including Supabase (authentication and database), Cloudflare R2 (object storage), and AI model/API providers used to generate text and images. Current details are in the Privacy Policy.

‍

2. The Service

TalyTales is a family storytelling app for children aged 0–10. Parents/guardians design Tales featuring their child as the hero alongside TaleMates across various categories, in an ad‑free environment focused on privacy and family time. Platform: iOS (iPhone & iPad).

‍

3. Accounts & Authentication

We provide authentication via Supabase using email + one‑time passcode (OTP) and Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your Account. Notify us promptly of unauthorized use. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate Accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law.

‍

4. Photos of People (Especially Children)

  1. Purpose‑limited use. You may submit a photo of a child, parent, or other person solely to generate a non‑photographic Illustration of that person for use in Tales.
  2. Immediate deletion of real photos. The real photo you upload is used during the creation process only and is deleted immediately after successful generation of the Illustration.
  3. No biometric templates. We do not create or store face recognition templates from photos.
  4. Parental/guardian consent. You represent that you are the parent/guardian of any minor depicted or have all necessary permissions (privacy/publicity/consent) to submit the photo and create an Illustration.
  5. No training use without consent. We instruct our AI providers not to use your photos or Illustrations for their model training. See the Privacy Policy for details.
  6. Safety. Do not upload sexualized, exploitative, degrading, or violent content involving minors. We will remove unlawful content and may report it to authorities.

‍

5. Storage & Security

  • Where data lives.
    • Images (Illustrations, Tale images, covers): stored in Cloudflare R2, with access controlled by JWT‑gated endpoints (e.g., signed URLs).
    • Textual data (Tale texts; TaleMate metadata such as name, month & year of birth, accent color, relation, gender): stored in Supabase with row‑level security so users can access only their own data.
  • Account deletion. If you delete your Account, we permanently delete your Tales, Illustrations, and Account data (subject to minimal legal retention obligations). Deletion is irreversible; any unused credits are forfeited.
  • Offline Copies. Making a Tale available offline stores a local copy for in‑app viewing on the device. Offline Copies remain licensed under these Terms, cannot be exported, and may become inaccessible if you delete the app, sign out, or delete your Account.

No system is perfectly secure. You accept the inherent risks of online services and agree to use appropriate device and account protections.

‍

6. Third‑Party Providers & AI Generation

We use reputable providers to operate the Service, including:

  • OpenAI API for image generation; and
  • Google Gemini API for text generation.

We instruct providers not to use your content for model training. Providers and subprocessors may change; the Privacy Policy lists current details. You remain responsible for complying with third‑party platform terms applicable to your device and purchases (e.g., Apple’s terms).

‍

7. License; Ownership

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, non‑sublicensable, revocable license to use the Service for personal, non‑commercial purposes.

You retain ownership of User Content (inputs and outputs). To operate the Service, you grant onEins a worldwide, royalty‑free license to host, process, reproduce, adapt, display, transmit, and otherwise use User Content solely to provide, maintain, protect, and improve the Service; comply with law; and enforce these Terms. We may use de‑identified, aggregated data for analytics, safety, and improvement.

Except for User Content, the Service (software, models, algorithms, systems, interfaces, and trademarks) is owned by onEins or its licensors. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or circumvent security, rate limits, or access controls.

‍

8. Subscriptions, Auto‑Renewal & Apple IAP

a) Subscription generally required. The Service is designed for use with an active, auto‑renewing subscription purchased through Apple’s in‑app purchase system. Prices/tiers may vary by region and are shown in‑app.
b) Auto‑renewal & cancellation. Subscriptions auto‑renew until canceled in your Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Billing and refunds are managed by Apple.
c) Trials & promotions. If offered, trials convert to paid unless canceled before the trial ends. We may run promotions subject to additional terms.
d) Taxes & price changes. Prices may change upon notice as permitted by Apple processes; taxes may apply.

‍

9. Credits: Magic Ink

a) Subscription Magic Ink (Rollover & Limits).

  • Allocation: Each subscription period allocates a specific amount of Subscription Magic Ink.
  • Rollover: Unused Subscription Magic Ink rolls over to the next subscription period.
  • Rollover Caps: The maximum amount of Subscription Magic Ink you can accumulate is limited based on your subscription plan:
    • Weekly Plan: Maximum cap of 500 Magic Ink.
    • Monthly Plan: Maximum cap of 2,000 Magic Ink.
  • Forfeiture: Any Subscription Magic Ink in excess of these caps will be forfeited at the time of renewal. If your subscription is canceled or expires, any remaining Subscription Magic Ink is forfeited at the end of the billing period.

b) Permanent Magic Ink (One‑Time Purchase). You may purchase additional Magic Ink via In‑App Purchase (“Permanent Magic Ink”). Permanent Magic Ink does not expire by the passage of time. However, access to use this balance is subject to the subscription requirement in Section 9(d).

c) Consumption & Costs. Creating content consumes Magic Ink. The current costs are:

  • TaleMate Creation: 10 Magic Ink per TaleMate.
  • Tale Creation: 10 Magic Ink per page generated.

d) Requirement of Active Subscription. An active subscription is required to use any Magic Ink. If your subscription lapses or is canceled:

  • You generally retain your Permanent Magic Ink balance (it does not expire), BUT
  • You cannot use the Story Engine, create new Tales, or create new TaleMates (using either Subscription or Permanent Magic Ink) until you reactivate a subscription.
  • You may still view previously created Tales and Offline Copies.

e) Smart Spending Order. When you create content, the Service automatically consumes your Subscription Magic Ink first. Only once the Subscription Magic Ink is exhausted will the Service consume your Permanent Magic Ink.

f) No Cash Value. Magic Ink has no monetary value, is not redeemable for cash, and is non‑transferable.

‍

10. Viewing, Offline Use & No Export

  • Viewing without subscription: You may view Tales you created previously, even if your subscription has lapsed, subject to Section 9(d).
  • Offline availability: You may mark Tales for in‑app offline viewing.
  • No export: The Service does not provide export of Tales or Illustrations outside the app (subject to any non‑waivable data rights under applicable law). You may not remove DRM or otherwise extract content.

‍

11. Content Standards & Prohibited Uses

You may not use the Service to:

  • Upload/generate/share content that is sexualized or exploitative regarding minors; hateful; harassing; defamatory; invasive of privacy; or otherwise unlawful.
  • Infringe others’ rights (copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity).
  • Re‑identify individuals from de‑identified data.
  • Reverse engineer or scrape the Service; bypass security; or use another person’s Account.
  • Commercialize Tales/Illustrations without our prior written consent.

We may remove or disable content and suspend/terminate Accounts for violations.

‍

12. Moderation; Reporting; Law Enforcement

We may review content (manually and via automated tools) for safety and policy compliance. We may preserve and disclose information to comply with law or protect users—especially children—from harm. We may report suspected child exploitation or imminent risk to authorities.

‍

13. Children’s Privacy; COPPA

We design the Service for use by adults (parents/guardians) together with children aged 0–10. We collect minimal child data (e.g., name; month & year of birth only) for Tale personalization, with parental consent. We comply with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar laws. See the Privacy Policy for full details.

‍

16. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify the Service and these Terms at any time (e.g., for improvements, safety, or legal compliance). We will post changes in‑app or otherwise notify you where required. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

‍

17. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS (TALES, ILLUSTRATIONS, ETC.) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON‑INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR‑FREE OPERATION OR THAT CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

‍

18. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ONEINS AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO APPLE FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AND IAP DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; some limits may not apply to you.

‍

19. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless onEins and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your breach of these Terms; or (c) your violation of law or third‑party rights.

‍

20. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver (U.S.)

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. It affects your rights.

  • Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) governs this agreement to arbitrate.
  • Venue & Governing Law. The seat of arbitration is Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Florida law governs these Terms (without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules), and the FAA governs arbitration.
  • Class Action Waiver. Disputes must be brought only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action.
  • Opt‑Out. You may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to legal@oneins.studio within 30 days after you first accept these Terms.
  • Small Claims Carve‑Out. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.

For EEA/UK/Swiss consumers, mandatory local dispute‑resolution rights are preserved (see Regional Addendum).

‍

21. Export Controls & Sanctions

You will not use the Service if you are (or are controlled by) a person/entity subject to U.S. sanctions or on a U.S. government restricted list. You will not export or re‑export the Service except as authorized by U.S. law.

‍

22. Apple‑Specific Terms

‍

23. Force Majeure

We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor conditions, utility failures, or internet outages.

‍

24. Miscellaneous

  • Severability. If any provision is invalid, the remainder remains in effect.

Main characteristics of the Service are described in Sections 2, 5–7, 8–10 of the Terms.

‍

B. Price, Fees, and Charges

Subscription prices and IAP pricing are shown in‑app before purchase. Taxes may apply. Purchases are processed by Apple under Apple’s terms; Apple is your point of contact for billing, refunds, and statutory withdrawal rights related to purchases made via the App Store.

‍

C. Digital Content & Performance; Technical Protection

The Service delivers digital content not on a tangible medium and begins performance immediately after purchase/activation. Content may be protected by technical measures; export is not available. Offline Copies are limited to in‑app viewing.

‍

D. Right of Withdrawal (Cancellation) for Digital Content

Where applicable under local law, you have a 14‑day right of withdrawal from the date of conclusion of the contract. Because purchases are made through Apple, you should exercise any statutory withdrawal or refund rights through Apple’s purchase/subscription management and support channels.
Immediate Performance & Waiver: If you request/accept immediate performance of the digital content (e.g., enabling creation features or using credits) before the end of the withdrawal period, you acknowledge that you may lose your right of withdrawal once performance begins, to the extent permitted by law. This does not affect non‑waivable statutory rights.

‍

E. Conformity & Remedies for Digital Content

We supply digital content in conformity with the contract. If the Service or outputs lack conformity, you are entitled to statutory remedies under the law of your habitual residence (e.g., repair/bring‑into‑conformity or, where applicable, price reduction or termination). Requests related to billing/refunds for App Store purchases must be directed to Apple; requests related to service functionality may be directed to support@oneins.studio.

‍

F. Governing Law & Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution

Mandatory consumer protection laws of your habitual residence apply and are not waived. Any clauses mandating U.S. arbitration or class‑action waiver do not apply to you where prohibited by local law. You may bring proceedings in the courts of your habitual residence. You may also use any applicable consumer ADR procedure or the European Commission’s ODR platform.
