We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, provide false information, use the App unlawfully, or attempt to circumvent content safety measures.
The App offers both free and paid subscription tiers. Features available under each tier may change over time.
All subscriptions and payments are processed through Apple's In-App Purchase system and are subject to Apple's terms.
We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' notice. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing period.
Stories are generated by AI based on your inputs. You acknowledge that stories are generated algorithmically, may vary in quality, and similar inputs may produce similar stories for different users.
The App's design, branding, UI elements, illustrations, and software are owned by ReadBy and protected by intellectual property laws. Classic story templates are based on public domain works.
You may NOT: use generated stories commercially without written permission, redistribute content at scale, use the App to generate inappropriate content, or reverse-engineer the AI models.
ReadBy employs a multi-layer content safety system to ensure all stories are appropriate for children ages 3-10.
You agree NOT to: submit inappropriate content, bypass safety filters, generate illegal content, harass others, use bots or scrapers, or interfere with the App's operation.
We reserve the right to review, filter, or remove content that violates these Terms. Repeated violations may result in account termination.
By creating a voice profile, you confirm that you are the person recorded (or have their consent), grant us permission to process the recording for voice synthesis, and understand the model is used solely for narrating stories within the App.
Voice models are private to your account. You can delete voice profiles at any time from App settings.
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee that AI-generated stories will be free from errors, suitable for every child, or available without interruption. We encourage parents and caregivers to review stories before sharing them with children.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, READBY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP, CONTENT GENERATED BY THE AI, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR DATA.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ReadBy from claims arising from your use of the App, violation of these Terms, violation of third-party rights, or content you submit.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Zealand, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration, except that either party may seek injunctive relief for intellectual property violations.
Dispute resolution will be conducted on an individual basis, not as part of a class or representative action.
We may modify these Terms at any time with notice via in-app notification and email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
