Terms

What TaleCraft is

TaleCraft makes bedtime picture books for children aged 3 to 6. A grown-up sets it up and a child chooses the hero, the place and the mood. TaleCraft is meant to be used by a parent or guardian, with their child. You must be an adult, or have a parent's or guardian's permission, to accept these terms and to buy anything.

Stories made with AI

• New stories are written and painted by artificial intelligence on TaleCraft's own server, using OpenAI, and read aloud using ElevenLabs. Each story is new; no person writes or checks it before your child sees it.
• Every story is reviewed by a second AI check before it is shown, and a story that fails that check is not shown. Even so, AI can make mistakes: a sentence may be odd, a picture may not match the words, or a detail may be wrong. Please read along with your child, and tell us at support@caffeinatedcode.co if anything is not right.
• A grown-up decides whether stories are made with AI (a one-time screen, behind the grown-ups' gate). Without it, TaleCraft's own story library still works, offline too.
• Making a story needs an internet connection and takes a few minutes. Books already on your shelf open without a connection.

TaleCraft Plus and story packs

New stories made with AI are paid. Rereading your books, reading them aloud and TaleCraft's own story library are free.

Prices in other countries are set by Apple from these and shown in the app and on the App Store before you buy.

• One new story uses one story, whatever its length.
• Plan stories expire. The 5 stories of a month are for that month: stories not used by the end of the month expire and do not carry over. The free week's story expires when the free week ends. When a plan ends, its unused stories end with it.
• Pack stories never expire and need no plan. They stay after a plan ends.
• The free week is offered once to people who have not had it before (Apple decides who is eligible). It turns into a paid plan unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
• Renewal. Plus renews automatically at the end of each month or year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, and again at each renewal. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings (Settings, your name, Subscriptions). Deleting the app does not cancel Plus.
• Family Sharing is not available for Plus or for story packs.
• Ask to Buy. A purchase waiting for a family organiser's approval arrives by itself once it is approved.
• Restore purchases, on the purchase screen or in the grown-ups' corner, brings back a plan and any stories you have left on a new or reset iPhone with the same Apple Account.

When a story fails, and refunds

• A story we can't finish is given back automatically. If our server fails to make a story, the story it used is returned to you, without you asking.
• A story you stop before it is ready is given back, up to 5 a day. Above that, the story still stops but is not returned. A story that has reached your shelf can't be returned.
• Choosing English instead, when a story can't be made in your language, costs nothing more.
• Money back for a purchase is handled by Apple, not by us: request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. We can't issue refunds for App Store purchases ourselves.

Your stories

• The books TaleCraft makes for you are yours to read, keep and enjoy with your family for personal, non-commercial use.
• Books stay on your iPhone. Our server keeps a copy of each story for 30 days after it reaches your iPhone, then deletes it; we don't keep a backup of your shelf. If you delete the app or a book, we can't bring it back.

Using TaleCraft fairly

Please don't copy, resell or reverse-engineer the app, try to get stories without paying for them, interfere with the service, bypass its safety or purchase controls, or use it to make content that is harmful to children. Only enter information you are entitled to share. We may limit or stop access for anyone who does not follow these terms.

Changes and availability

We work to keep TaleCraft running, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of errors. The services that make stories are provided by third parties and may sometimes be unavailable. We may change, add or remove features, including the services that make stories. Your rights for a paid service still apply. We may update these terms; the date at the top changes, and important changes are announced in the app.

Liability

TaleCraft is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits rights or remedies that consumer law gives you, or excludes liability where the law does not allow it.

Governing law

The law of Croatia applies. If you live elsewhere, you also keep the mandatory consumer protections and rights to bring a claim that apply where you live.
