Terms of Service for AI Story

Last Updated: August 26, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to AI Story ("the App," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our mobile application and any related services ("Service"). By creating an account or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

AI Story provides users ("you," "your") with tools to:

  • Register and manage a personal account to track service credits.
  • Submit story descriptions to our server API for optimization and full story generation.
  • Submit text to our server API for conversion into audio files.
  • Optionally, submit a voice sample to our server API for Zero-Shot Voice Cloning to generate audio in that voice.
  • Manage, play, and save your generated stories and audio in a local database on your device.
  • Purchase credits via Stripe to use the API-based features of the Service.

3. User Accounts

You must register for an account to use the Service's generation features. Your account is used to manage your service credits. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password and for all activities that occur under your account. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service (or the minimum age required by the laws of your country).

4. Data Processing and Storage

a. Local Storage: All content you generate, including story text and audio files, is saved exclusively to a local database on your personal mobile device. We do not store, save, or back up your generated content on our servers.

Important: Because all your data is stored locally, you are solely responsible for its backup and security. If you lose your device or delete the app, your generated stories and audio will be permanently lost. AI Story is not responsible for any loss of data.

b. Ephemeral Server Processing: When you use a feature like story generation or text-to-audio conversion, your input data (text or voice sample) is sent to our server API for processing. We grant you the right to use our API for this purpose. The data exists on our server only for the time necessary to perform the requested function. Once the result (the story or audio file) is sent back to your device, your input data is permanently deleted from our server. We do not retain it.

c. Zero-Shot Voice Cloning: If you use the voice cloning feature, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and permissions for the voice sample you provide. This sample is sent to our server, used to generate the audio file, and then immediately discarded. It is never saved on our servers or used for any other purpose.

d. Ownership and Responsibility: You retain full ownership of the content you create. You are solely responsible for your content and the consequences of creating it.

5. Payments and Credits

Certain features of the Service require credits, which can be purchased through the App. All payments are processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe. We do not collect or store your payment card details. Your credit balance is linked to your AI Story account on our server. All purchases are final and non-refundable except as required by law.

6. Intellectual Property

Excluding your locally-stored content, all aspects of the Service, including the App's design, code, and the "AI Story" name and logos, are the property of AI Story and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

7. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account at any time, without notice, if you breach these Terms. You may terminate your account at any time. Upon termination, your account and associated credit information will be deleted from our servers. Any content stored locally on your device will remain there unless you delete the app.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "AS IS." We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the fullest extent permitted by law, AI Story shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including any loss of data stored on your device.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of significant changes. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
