Terms ofService

A few things to know

These Terms govern your use of ThatStoryThing.

ThatStoryThing is a shared storytelling service designed for a grown-up and child to use together.

By using the service, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, please do not use ThatStoryThing.

1. Grown-ups stay in charge

ThatStoryThing is designed to be used under adult supervision.

The grown-up using the service is responsible for:

• operating the device
• deciding whether a story suits their child
• selecting the child’s choices
• stopping or changing the experience when needed

Our age bands are guidance, not a guarantee that every story will suit every child.

If a dragon is too much dragon today, you can always stop.

2. Using ThatStoryThing

You may use ThatStoryThing for personal and family entertainment.

Please do not:

• interfere with or disrupt the service
• attempt unauthorized access
• scrape or extract substantial parts of the service
• use the service for unlawful or harmful purposes
• impersonate another person
• commercially redistribute ThatStoryThing content without permission

We may suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect the service or its users.

3. Story inputs and generated content

ThatStoryThing may let you choose story sparks, themes, prompts or other inputs.

You are responsible for what you provide and should not submit confidential, unlawful or unnecessary personal information.

Generative storytelling may produce different results from one session to another.

We work to keep stories appropriate to the selected age range, but generated content may occasionally contain mistakes, odd wording or unexpected results.

The grown-up remains the final judge of what is suitable for their family.

4. Our content and intellectual property

ThatStoryThing, including its software, branding, designs, artwork, original story material and website content, is owned by us or used under licence.

You may use stories for personal, non-commercial family use.

You may not, without permission:

• sell or republish substantial story content
• commercially distribute our artwork or stories
• reproduce ThatStoryThing as your own product

Generated stories may contain ideas or elements similar to content generated for other users, so we cannot promise that every generated phrase, character or plot element will be unique.

5. Accounts

If ThatStoryThing offers adult accounts, you are responsible for keeping your login details secure.

Children should not create or manage their own accounts unless we expressly provide a feature designed for that purpose.

6. Payments, subscriptions and refunds

Some features may require payment.

Before purchase, we will clearly show:

• price
• billing frequency
• what is included
• whether a subscription renews automatically
• how to cancel

Payments may be handled by third-party providers such as Stripe, Apple or Google.

Cancellation normally stops future renewal rather than reversing a billing period already underway, unless applicable law or the purchase terms provide otherwise.

Refunds will be handled according to applicable law and the terms shown at purchase.

We will not hide the cancel button behind seven doors and a troll.

7. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how ThatStoryThing handles personal information, analytics, children’s privacy, voice features and related data practices.

Please read it alongside these Terms.

No ads. Ever. Dragons are allowed to interrupt. Advertisers are not.

8. Availability and changes

We aim to keep ThatStoryThing available, but we cannot promise uninterrupted service.

The service may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, updates, provider outages, security issues or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may change, replace or discontinue features over time.

If a material change affects a paid service, we will handle it consistently with applicable law and any commitments made at purchase.

9. Feedback

If you send us suggestions or feedback, you give us permission to use that feedback to improve ThatStoryThing without compensation.

This does not give us ownership of your unrelated creative work.

10. Disclaimers and liability

We work hard to make ThatStoryThing enjoyable, safe and reliable.

However, to the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that:

• the service will always be available
• every generated story will be error-free
• every story will suit every family
• every generated result will be unique

Nothing in these Terms limits rights or guarantees that cannot legally be excluded.

Any liability limitation should be finalized after legal review of the operating entity and launch jurisdictions.

11. Ending access

We may suspend or terminate access if these Terms are seriously or repeatedly breached, if the service is abused, or if required for security or legal reasons.

You may stop using ThatStoryThing whenever you like.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as ThatStoryThing evolves.

If a change materially affects your rights or a paid service, we will provide notice where required.

The current version will always show its Last updated date.

13. Governing law

[LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED]

This section should identify the legal entity operating ThatStoryThing and the governing law that applies.

If the business is established in New Zealand, this will likely be drafted around New Zealand law while preserving mandatory consumer rights that apply elsewhere.
