Terms of Service

The short version

StoryMoments uses AI to generate personalised bedtime stories for children. By using the App, you agree to these terms. A parent or guardian must set up and supervise use of the App. Stories are AI-generated and should be reviewed by an adult before sharing with children.

Effective Date: 1 March 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using StoryMoments (the “App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App.

The App is developed and operated by Kieren Hilton Dight, trading as Friendo Studio (ABN 72 270 437 127) (“we”, “us”, or “our”). These Terms constitute a legal agreement between you and Friendo Studio.

2. Description of the Service

StoryMoments is a mobile application that uses artificial intelligence to generate personalised bedtime stories for children. The App allows parents and guardians to create child profiles, select story themes and preferences, and generate unique stories featuring their child's name, interests, and family members.

Stories are generated using AI technology provided by Anthropic. Story generation requests are transmitted securely through Cloudflare's infrastructure. Each story is unique and created in real time based on the preferences you select.

3. Eligibility and Parental Responsibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create profiles, manage settings, and initiate story generation in StoryMoments.

The App generates stories intended for children, but it is designed to be set up and operated by a parent or legal guardian. By using the App, you confirm that:

  • You are a parent, legal guardian, or have permission from a parent or guardian to use the App.

  • You consent to the child profile information you provide being used for story generation as described in our Privacy Policy.

  • You will review AI-generated stories and exercise your own judgement regarding their suitability for your child.

4. User Accounts

StoryMoments does not require you to create a user account. There is no sign-up, login, or authentication process. The App stores all data locally on your device. You are responsible for the security of your device and for managing access to the App.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

Free Tier: StoryMoments offers a free tier that includes limited features, such as 1 story per child per night, 1 child profile, 2 family/friend characters, and 2 chapters per series.

Premium Subscription: StoryMoments Premium unlocks additional features including unlimited stories, unlimited profiles, story saving, paragraph-level rewriting, and more.

All subscriptions are processed through Apple’s App Store. By subscribing, you also agree to Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/).

Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your device’s Settings under your Apple ID.

Refunds: Since payments are processed by Apple, refund requests must be directed to Apple. We do not have the ability to process refunds directly. You can request a refund through reportaproblem.apple.com.

Price Changes: We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. We will provide at least 30 days’ notice of any price change through the App or App Store listing. Any price change will apply to the next billing cycle after the notice period has passed.

Discontinuation: If we permanently discontinue the App while you have an active Premium subscription, we will make reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days’ notice. You will not be charged for any renewal period beginning after the date of discontinuation. Any refund for a partially used subscription period must be requested through Apple.

6. Fair Use

StoryMoments Premium includes unlimited story generation for normal, personal family use. To maintain service quality and availability for all users, we reserve the right to manage and optimise the resources used to generate stories.

During periods of unusually high usage from a single device, we may use a different AI model to generate stories. This means stories will continue to be generated, but may differ in style, length, or level of detail compared to stories generated during normal usage. This does not affect your access to any other features included in your subscription.

We consider normal use to be consistent with a family enjoying bedtime stories together. Automated, scripted, or bulk story generation is not permitted under any subscription tier.

7. AI-Generated Content

All stories generated by StoryMoments are created by artificial intelligence. It is important that you understand the following:

  • Content quality: While we work to ensure stories are age-appropriate and enjoyable, AI-generated content may occasionally produce unexpected, repetitive, or imperfect results. We do not guarantee that every story will meet your expectations.

  • No content guarantee: The AI may not always produce content that perfectly matches your selected theme, length, or preferences. Due to the nature of AI, stories may vary in quality and style.

  • Parental review: We strongly encourage parents and guardians to read or preview stories before sharing them with children. You are responsible for determining whether content is appropriate for your child.

  • Uniqueness: Due to the nature of AI technology, similar prompts may occasionally produce similar story elements across different users. Stories are not guaranteed to be entirely unique.

You can contact us at hello@friendo.studio with any feedback you have on the quality of our stories.

8. Content Ownership

You own the input you provide to StoryMoments (child profiles, preferences, and custom story requests). For stories generated by the App:

  • Premium subscribers are granted a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, save, share, print, modify, and reproduce the stories generated for them through the App for any personal purpose. This licence survives cancellation of your subscription or deletion of the App.

  • Free tier users receive a personal, non-exclusive licence to view and enjoy generated stories within the App.

Note: The legal status of copyright in AI-generated content is evolving and varies by jurisdiction. We cannot guarantee that AI-generated stories will be eligible for copyright protection in your jurisdiction. The licences granted above give you broad rights to use your stories regardless of how copyright law develops.

We may use anonymised, aggregated usage patterns (such as which themes are most popular) to improve the App, but we will never use your specific stories, child names, or personal details for anything other than generating your stories.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree to use StoryMoments only for its intended purpose: generating bedtime stories for children. You agree not to:

  • Attempt to use the App to generate harmful, abusive, violent, or inappropriate content.

  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App.

  • Use the App in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.

  • Attempt to circumvent subscription restrictions or free tier limitations.

  • Use automated tools or scripts to interact with the App or its underlying services.

10. Availability and Service Interruptions

We aim to keep StoryMoments available and functioning smoothly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. Story generation depends on third-party AI services and an active internet connection. The App may be temporarily unavailable due to:

  • Maintenance or updates to the App.

  • Service interruptions from our AI provider (Anthropic).

  • Network or connectivity issues.

  • Circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

We are not liable for any loss or inconvenience caused by temporary unavailability of the story generation service. Locally stored stories and profiles remain accessible even when offline.

11. Data and Device Responsibility

Since StoryMoments stores all data locally on your device, you are responsible for backing up your device. If your device is lost, damaged, or reset, locally stored stories and profiles may be permanently lost.

12. Intellectual Property

The StoryMoments app, including its design, branding, code, user interface, and all related materials, is the intellectual property of Friendo Studio and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or branding.

In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Friendo Studio, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

StoryMoments is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Friendo Studio disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that AI-generated stories will always be suitable, accurate, or free from unexpected content. We do not warrant that the App will meet your specific requirements.

In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Friendo Studio.

Australian Consumer Law: If you are a consumer within the meaning of the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)), nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred on you by the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by agreement. Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract with us and to a refund for the unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If the failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have problems with the service rectified in a reasonable time.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to Section 13 (including your rights under the Australian Consumer Law), Friendo Studio and its directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the App, including but not limited to damages for loss of data, loss of enjoyment, or reliance on AI-generated content.

Our total liability for any claim arising from the use of StoryMoments shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or $50 AUD, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for fraud or any guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Friendo Studio and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising directly out of:

  • your breach of these Terms;

  • your use of the App in a manner not permitted by these Terms; or

  • your violation of any applicable law or the rights of a third party in connection with your use of the App.

This indemnity does not apply to any claim arising from Friendo Studio’s own negligence, breach of these Terms, or breach of any duty owed to you under applicable law, including the Australian Consumer Law.

16. Termination

You may stop using StoryMoments at any time by deleting the App from your device. If you have a Premium subscription, remember to cancel it through your Apple ID settings to avoid future charges.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any significant changes or discontinuation.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.

For significant changes - meaning changes that materially affect your rights, obligations, or the cost of using the App - we will provide at least 14 days’ notice through the App or via the email address associated with your Apple ID where available. Your continued use of the App after the updated Terms take effect means you accept the changes.

For minor or clarifying changes, we will update this page and note the new effective date. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

18. Dispute Resolution

If you have a dispute or complaint about the App or these Terms, please contact us at hello@friendo.studio. We will try to resolve your concern promptly and in good faith.

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally within 30 days of your initial contact, either party may pursue formal resolution. Nothing in this section prevents you from lodging a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) or your local consumer protection authority, or from exercising any rights available to you under applicable law.

19. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Subject to Section 18 (Dispute Resolution), any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection laws, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under those laws.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

21. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Friendo Studio regarding your use of StoryMoments. They supersede any prior agreements or understandings.
