Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2, 2026

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and Flipbytes, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("FableJar," "we," "us," or "our"), registered at 131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, United States.

By creating an account, accessing, or using FableJar — including the website at fablejar.com and all associated services — you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our COPPA Compliance Policy. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must not use FableJar.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the COPPA Compliance Policy together constitute the entire agreement between you and FableJar regarding your use of the service.

Service Description

FableJar is an AI-powered personalized bedtime storytelling service designed for parents and legal guardians ("Parents") to create stories for their children aged 3–10. The service uses artificial intelligence to generate personalized stories, illustrations, and optional voice narration based on information provided by the Parent through child profiles.

FableJar is a parenting tool, not a children's platform. Parents operate all aspects of the service — creating accounts, building child profiles, selecting challenges, generating stories, managing friends, and configuring voice narration. Children do not have independent accounts, login credentials, or direct access to the service.

Eligibility and Account Requirements

Age requirement. You must be at least 18 years old and a parent or legal guardian of the child for whom you are creating stories to use FableJar. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that you have the legal authority to consent to the collection and processing of information about the child on whose behalf you are using the service.

Account responsibility. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@fablejar.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

Account accuracy. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and child profiles. You agree to update this information promptly if it changes.

One account per person. Each parent or guardian should maintain only one FableJar account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits, referral caps, or other usage restrictions is prohibited.

Child profiles. Child profiles are created and managed exclusively by the parent account holder. The parent is the data controller for all information within the child profile and is solely responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of the information provided. FableJar relies on the information you provide to generate personalized content — inaccurate or misleading profile information may result in stories that are not appropriate for your child.

Children's Privacy and COPPA

FableJar fully complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), including the amended COPPA Rule effective April 22, 2026. By creating a child profile, you provide verifiable parental consent for the collection and processing of your child's information as described in our Privacy Policy and COPPA Compliance Policy.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • You are the parent or legal guardian of the child whose profile you are creating.
  • You consent to the collection, use, and limited disclosure of your child's information as described in our Privacy Policy, including the transmission of certain child profile data to third-party AI services for the purpose of story generation, illustration creation, and voice narration.
  • You may review, modify, or delete all child data at any time from your dashboard.
  • You may withdraw consent at any time by deleting the child profile, which permanently removes all associated data.

AI-Generated Content

Nature of content. All stories, illustrations, and audio narration produced by FableJar are generated by artificial intelligence based on the information you provide through child profiles, challenge selections, and story preferences. Content is not written, illustrated, or narrated by humans.

Content safety. We employ content safety filters, prompt engineering, and a structured story generation framework (MERSA) designed to produce age-appropriate, emotionally supportive content. However, AI systems are probabilistic and may occasionally produce output that is unexpected, imperfect, or not ideally suited to a specific child.

Parental review responsibility. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • AI-generated content may occasionally contain errors, inconsistencies, or language that you consider inappropriate for your specific child, despite our safety measures.
  • You are responsible for reviewing all stories, illustrations, and audio content before sharing them with your child.
  • You are the final judge of what is appropriate for your child. FableJar provides tools and safeguards, but the parental review of content is an essential part of the service.
  • FableJar is not liable for any emotional, psychological, or other impact that AI-generated content may have on your child.

Not professional advice. FableJar stories are designed to help children navigate real-life challenges through storytelling. However, FableJar is not a substitute for professional counselling, therapy, psychological treatment, medical advice, or clinical child development guidance. Stories are not clinically tested or validated, and we do not guarantee specific behavioural, emotional, or developmental outcomes from using the service. If your child is experiencing serious emotional, behavioural, or psychological difficulties, please consult a qualified professional.

Age-appropriateness. Stories are calibrated based on the age range you select in the child's profile. These calibrations are based on general developmental guidelines and may not perfectly match every individual child's needs, sensitivities, or maturity level. You know your child best — use your judgment when selecting challenges and reviewing generated content.

Intellectual Property

FableJar's ownership. FableJar and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in the FableJar platform, including but not limited to: the website, application, AI models, story generation framework, illustration generation system, voice cloning technology, user interface, design, trademarks, logos, and all underlying software and technology. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you except the limited licence granted below.

Your content. You retain ownership of the content you input into FableJar, including child profile information, photographs uploaded for avatar generation, voice recordings, and custom challenge descriptions. By providing this content, you grant FableJar a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use, process, and store this content solely for the purpose of providing the FableJar service to you.

Generated content licence. Stories, illustrations, and audio narration generated by FableJar are produced using our AI systems based on your inputs. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use generated content for the following purposes:

  • Reading, listening to, and sharing stories with your child and your immediate family.
  • Sharing stories with connected friends' families through FableJar's built-in sharing features.
  • Printing stories for personal, non-commercial use within your household.

Restrictions on generated content. You may NOT:

  • Sell, licence, sublicence, or commercially distribute generated stories, illustrations, or audio.
  • Publish generated content in books, apps, websites, or media products for commercial purposes.
  • Use generated content to train, fine-tune, or develop any artificial intelligence or machine learning model.
  • Remove or alter any FableJar branding or attribution from shared story content.
  • Claim exclusive copyright ownership over AI-generated stories or illustrations.
  • Use generated content in any manner that is harmful to children, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.

Feedback. If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about FableJar, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable licence to use that feedback for any purpose without compensation or attribution to you.

Acceptable Use

You agree to use FableJar only for its intended purpose — creating personalized bedtime stories for children aged 3–10. You agree NOT to:

  • Use the service for any child under 3 or over 10 years of age.
  • Enter false, misleading, or fabricated information in child profiles.
  • Attempt to generate inappropriate, harmful, violent, sexual, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable content through custom challenge descriptions, child profile fields, or any other input mechanism.
  • Use the service to harass, bully, stalk, threaten, or harm any person, including children.
  • Share stories publicly that contain other children's real names without the explicit consent of those children's parents.
  • Upload photographs of children who are not your own, or photographs for which you do not have the legal right to use.
  • Record voice samples of children. The voice cloning feature is exclusively for adults.
  • Create accounts on behalf of others without their knowledge or consent.
  • Create multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits, referral caps, or abuse prevention measures.
  • Use automated scripts, bots, scrapers, or any non-human means to access the service, generate stories, or extract content.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or underlying algorithms of any part of the FableJar service, including our AI models.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the service, or the data contained therein.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the service, other users' accounts, or any systems or networks connected to the service.
  • Resell, sublicence, or provide access to the service to any third party on a commercial basis.
  • Use the service in any way that violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account immediately, without prior notice, if we determine in our sole discretion that you have violated any provision of this Acceptable Use section. Violation of these terms may also result in forfeiture of any referral rewards, bonus stories, or other benefits.

Subscriptions, Billing, and Payments

Plans

FableJar offers the following subscription plans:

  • Free: Limited stories per month, 1 child profile, no voice cloning. No payment required.
  • Starter: 30 stories per month, 2 child profiles, 1 voice clone, community access. Billed monthly.
  • Family: 60 stories per month, 5 child profiles, 3 voice clones, community access. Billed monthly.

Plan features, pricing, and limits may change from time to time. We will notify existing subscribers at least 30 days before any pricing change takes effect. Changes will not apply until the next billing cycle after the notice period.

Billing

  • All paid subscriptions are billed on a recurring monthly basis through Stripe, our third-party payment processor. By subscribing to a paid plan, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service.
  • Your billing cycle begins on the date you first subscribe to a paid plan and renews on the same date each month.
  • You authorize FableJar (via Stripe) to charge your selected payment method at the beginning of each billing cycle.

Upgrades

  • Upgrades from Free to a paid plan take effect immediately. You are charged the full monthly amount on the day of the upgrade.
  • Upgrades from Starter to Family take effect immediately. You are charged a prorated amount for the remaining days in your current billing cycle. From the next billing date, you are charged the full Family plan price.

Downgrades

  • Downgrades from a higher plan to a lower plan take effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain your current plan features until the period ends.
  • No refund is issued for the unused portion of the current billing period on a downgrade.
  • On downgrade, if you exceed the new plan's limits (e.g., more child profiles or voice clones than the new plan allows), you will be asked to select which profiles and voice clones to keep active. Others will be archived — not deleted. Archived profiles retain all data and can be reactivated by upgrading.

Cancellation

  • You may cancel your subscription at any time from the Plans & Usage page in your dashboard or through the Stripe billing portal.
  • Upon cancellation, your paid plan features remain active until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to the Free plan.
  • No data is deleted upon cancellation. All stories, child profiles, avatars, and preferences are preserved. You may continue to access your Memory Jar and read existing stories on the Free plan.

Refunds

  • Refund requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact support@fablejar.com within 14 days of a charge for consideration.
  • We do not issue refunds for partial months, unused stories, or unused voice credits.
  • If a technical error on our part prevented you from using the service for a significant portion of your billing cycle, we will issue a credit or refund at our discretion.

Failed Payments

  • If a payment fails, we will attempt to process it again and notify you by email.
  • If payment is not resolved within 7 days, your account may be downgraded to the Free plan. All your data is preserved — you can restore your paid plan by updating your payment method.

Taxes

  • Listed prices do not include applicable taxes. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or levies imposed by your jurisdiction in connection with your use of FableJar.

Voice Cloning

FableJar's voice cloning feature allows parents to invite adult family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.) to record their voice for AI-generated story narration. By using this feature, you acknowledge and agree:

  • Adults only. Voice cloning is exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. You must never record or submit a child's voice through the voice cloning feature. Submitting a child's voice recording violates these Terms and may result in immediate account suspension.
  • Consent of the recorded person. By inviting a family member to record their voice, you represent that you have their permission to do so. The person recording their voice consents to it being used for AI-generated narration of bedtime stories within the inviting family's FableJar account.
  • Limited use. Voice clones are used solely within FableJar for narrating stories. Voice clones are not shared with other families, not used for any other purpose, and not used to train AI models.
  • Imperfections. AI-generated voice narration may not perfectly replicate the recorded person's voice. Variations in tone, accent, pronunciation, and emotional expression are expected. FableJar does not guarantee that voice narration will sound identical to the original recording.
  • Deletion. The person who recorded their voice, or the parent who invited them, may request deletion of the voice recording and voice clone at any time. Previously generated audio narrations using that voice will continue to play, but no new narrations will be created. Contact support@fablejar.com for third-party deletion requests.
  • No impersonation. You must not use the voice cloning feature to impersonate any person without their explicit consent, or for any deceptive, fraudulent, or harmful purpose.

Real Friends (Social Connections)

FableJar allows parents to connect their children's profiles so they can appear in each other's stories. By using this feature, you acknowledge and agree:

  • Parental control. All friend connections are initiated, approved, and managed by parents — never by children. Sending a friend request requires email verification by the sending parent. Accepting a friend request requires the receiving parent to click an approval link in their email. A child using the app alone cannot send, accept, or manage friend connections.
  • Username sharing. Children's profiles have unique usernames that are only shareable by the parent. There is no public directory, no search function, and no profile discovery mechanism. You are responsible for sharing your child's username only with parents you know and trust.
  • Data sharing between families. By accepting a friend connection, you consent to sharing your child's first name, gender, age range, avatar, interests, and personality traits with the connected family for the purpose of including your child in their stories. No parent account information (email, payment details, address) is shared between families.
  • Automatic story sharing. When a story is generated that includes a connected friend, the friend's parent is automatically notified by email with a link to the story. By maintaining an active friend connection, you consent to this automatic notification.
  • Removal. Either parent may remove a friend connection at any time, for any reason, without requiring the other parent's consent. Removal immediately stops data sharing and prevents future stories from including the other child. Previously generated stories remain in each family's Memory Jar.
  • Disputes. FableJar is not responsible for any disputes, disagreements, or conflicts between families arising from the use of the Real Friends feature, shared stories, or the content of stories featuring connected children.
  • No liability for shared content. Once a story is shared with a connected family (via automatic email notification or a shared link), FableJar cannot retract or delete the story from the recipient's email inbox. You acknowledge that shared stories containing your child's first name, avatar, and story scenario will be accessible to the receiving family.

Referral Program

FableJar offers a referral program where users can earn bonus stories by referring new users. By participating, you acknowledge and agree:

  • Eligibility. All FableJar users (Free, Starter, and Family) may participate in the referral program.
  • Reward. When a referred user creates their first story through your referral link, both you and the referred user receive 1 bonus story credit. Bonus stories are added on top of your existing plan limits.
  • No cap. There is no monthly limit on how many bonus stories you can earn through genuine referrals. FableJar may, however, review or limit accounts that show signs of referral fraud (see below).
  • Expiry. Bonus stories earned through referrals expire at the end of your billing cycle. Unused bonus stories do not roll over.
  • Trigger. Referral rewards are only triggered when the referred user successfully generates their first story — not when they click the link or create an account.
  • One reward per referral. A referred user can only trigger one referral reward, ever, regardless of how many stories they subsequently generate.
  • Fraud. The following actions constitute referral fraud and may result in forfeiture of all referral rewards and account suspension: creating fake accounts to trigger referral rewards, self-referral (referring your own account or an account using the same payment method), any coordinated or automated scheme to generate fraudulent referrals.
  • Changes. FableJar reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the referral program at any time, with or without notice. Any bonus stories already earned and unused will be honoured until their expiry date.

The FableJar Circle (Community)

The FableJar Circle is a private community for Starter and Family plan members. By participating, you acknowledge and agree:

  • Access is granted automatically with a Starter or Family subscription and revoked upon downgrade to Free.
  • You will engage respectfully with other community members. FableJar is a parenting community — harassment, abuse, discrimination, spam, solicitation, and inappropriate content are prohibited.
  • Content shared in the community (questions, discussions, suggestions) may be used by FableJar to inform product development.
  • FableJar reserves the right to remove content or revoke community access for any user who violates community standards.

Service Availability and Modifications

Availability. We strive to maintain FableJar's availability at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure access to the service. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, server issues, or circumstances beyond our control.

Third-party dependencies. FableJar relies on third-party services (Google Gemini, ElevenLabs, Google Cloud TTS, Supabase, Stripe, Cloudflare, Resend) to deliver its functionality. Outages, errors, or changes to these third-party services may temporarily affect FableJar's functionality. We are not liable for service disruptions caused by third-party provider issues.

Modifications. We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue any feature or aspect of the service at any time. For material changes that reduce the functionality of a paid plan, we will notify subscribers at least 30 days in advance.

Account Termination and Suspension

Termination by you. You may delete your account at any time from your dashboard. Upon deletion, all personal data, child profiles, stories, illustrations, voice recordings, and associated content are permanently deleted from our live systems. Backups are purged within 30 days.

Suspension or termination by FableJar. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account, at our sole discretion, immediately and without prior notice, if:

  • You violate any provision of these Terms, including the Acceptable Use policy.
  • You engage in fraudulent referral activity.
  • You submit a child's voice recording through the voice cloning feature.
  • You use the service in a manner that could harm children, other users, or FableJar.
  • You fail to resolve a payment issue within a reasonable timeframe after notification.
  • We are required to do so by law or regulation.

Upon termination for cause, you are not entitled to any refund of subscription fees. We may, at our discretion, provide you with an opportunity to download your data before termination, but we are not obligated to do so.

Effect of termination. Upon termination, your licence to use FableJar and all generated content is immediately revoked. Stories, illustrations, and audio files that you have already downloaded or printed for personal use are not affected.

  • ANY ERRORS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED.

IN NO EVENT SHALL FABLEJAR, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH:

  • ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN FAMILIES ARISING FROM THE REAL FRIENDS FEATURE OR SHARED STORIES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO FABLEJAR IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100 USD).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Flipbytes, LLC, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with:

  • Your use of the service or any violation of these Terms.
  • Any information you provide through child profiles, including photographs, descriptions, and custom challenge text.
  • Any voice recordings you submit or invite others to submit.

  • Any fraudulent or unauthorized use of the referral program.
  • Any claim that content you provided infringes on the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party.
  • Any dispute between you and another family arising from the use of FableJar.

Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

Governing law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Informal resolution first. Before filing any formal legal proceeding, you agree to contact us at support@fablejar.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user's satisfaction through direct communication.

Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and FableJar agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the service through final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware, or at another mutually agreed location, and may be conducted by video conference.

Class action waiver. YOU AND FABLEJAR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Small claims exception. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in lieu of arbitration, provided the claim falls within the court's jurisdictional limits.

Exceptions. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information.

Force Majeure

FableJar shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, government actions, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, failures of third-party service providers (including AI providers, payment processors, and hosting services), cyberattacks, or any other force majeure event. During any such event, our obligations under these Terms will be suspended for the duration of the event.

Modifications to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes:

  • We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
  • For material changes, we will notify registered users by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
  • We will post a notice on our website highlighting significant changes.

Your continued use of FableJar after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the service and may delete your account.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.

Waiver

The failure of FableJar to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. A waiver of any term shall only be effective if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of FableJar.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. FableJar may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights. No person other than you and FableJar has the right to enforce any provision of these Terms.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and COPPA Compliance Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and FableJar regarding your use of the service. These Terms supersede all prior agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral, regarding the service.
