Terms of Service

These Terms are an agreement between you and Aethos Solutions LLC, a limited liability company based in Los Angeles, California, which trades as Faybley. They govern your use of the Faybley app on iPhone and iPad and the website at faybley.com: together, the Service. By downloading or using Faybley you accept them, along with our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, please do not use the Service.

You must be 18 or over, and the parent or legal guardian of any child whose profile you create.

Faybley makes personalised children's stories. You give a nickname, an age and a theme; Faybley writes the story, illustrates it, and reads it aloud, in any of eleven languages, and optionally in a voice you recorded yourself.

It is built for children roughly aged two to ten, to be enjoyed with a parent nearby. It is entertainment and enrichment. It is not teaching, therapy or medical advice, and should not be relied on as any of those.

When you open an account you agree to:

• give accurate details and keep them current;
• keep your password to yourself: you are responsible for what happens under your account;
• tell us at hello@faybley.com if you think someone else has got in.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms or puts a child at risk.

Faybley is free to download. Beyond the trial, using it needs a subscription: there is no permanently free tier, and we would rather say so here than have you find out later.

• Trial: the weekly pass opens with a three-day free trial. Cancel before it ends and you are not charged.
• Plans: Weekly, Plus and Family. Each sets how many stories you can create, how many child profiles you get, and which narrator voices you can use. Current prices are on our pricing page and shown by the App Store before you buy.
• Renewal: subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Apple charges you within 24 hours of the end of each period.
• Cancelling: cancel at any time in your Apple ID subscription settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends. You keep access until it does.
• Refunds: Apple handles all refunds under its own policy; we cannot issue them ourselves. Write to us anyway and we will help you make the request.
• Price changes: we will tell you before a new price takes effect. Continuing to subscribe after that means you accept it.

Each plan includes a number of story creations per period. Unused creations do not carry over to the next one. If you run out early you can buy a top-up pack as a one-off purchase; top-ups do not expire while your account is open, and cannot be refunded once used.

Please do not:

• use the Service unlawfully, or to harm anyone;
• try to defeat the safety filters, or coax the app into producing something unsuitable for a child;
• record anyone's voice without their informed consent, and never a child's;
• reverse-engineer, decompile or scrape the Service;
• point bots or scripts at it, or resell access to it;
• share your account with people outside your household.

• They are fiction. Stories are invented. Do not rely on them for facts, advice or instruction.
• Safety is layered, not absolute. We filter every story, but AI can still surprise us. Read along, and report anything wrong to hello@faybley.com.
• Similar briefs make similar stories. Nothing generated is guaranteed to be unique, and we cannot promise to reproduce any particular story again.

If you record a voice, you confirm that it is your own and that you are an adult giving informed consent. Never record a child, and never record another person without their permission.

Your voice stays yours. You grant us only the licence we need to build your voice model and narrate stories inside your account, and we will not use it anywhere else. Delete the voice in the app and we delete the recording and the model with it.

Faybley owns the app, the website, the branding and the systems behind them. While your subscription is active you have a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use them.

You own what you put in: nicknames, themes, your voice. You give us a licence to use those inputs to produce and deliver your stories, and for nothing else.

The stories and pictures Faybley makes for you are yours to read, print, and share with family and friends. What you may not do is sell them, publish them commercially, present them as human-authored, or feed them to another AI system as training data.

The Service runs on Apple's platform and on our hosting and AI providers, and it links out to places we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or their practices, and their own terms apply when you use them.

Because you get Faybley from Apple, some of Apple's rules come with it. This agreement is between you and Faybley, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content and has no obligation to support it.

If the app fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may tell Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price; beyond that, Apple has no warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for any claim relating to the app, including product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

The Service is provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that every generated story will suit every child.

Some places do not permit these exclusions. If yours does not, they do not apply to you, and you keep every right your local law gives you.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Faybley is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim is capped at the greater of what you paid us in the twelve months before it arose, or one hundred US dollars.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

If someone brings a claim against us because of the way you used the Service, because you broke these Terms, or because you infringed someone else's rights, you agree to cover our reasonable costs in dealing with it.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Talk to us first: write to hello@faybley.com and we will genuinely try to sort it out. If we cannot within 30 days, the dispute goes to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, seated in Los Angeles County, California.

If you are a consumer in the EU, the UK, or anywhere else with mandatory local protections, this section does not take away your right to bring a claim in your own courts under your own law.

You can stop at any time: cancel your subscription and delete your account in the app's settings. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if a child is at risk, or if the law requires it. The parts of these Terms that should outlast the agreement (ownership, disclaimers, liability limits and indemnity) do.

We may update these Terms. For a material change we will give at least 30 days' notice in the app or by email. Carrying on with Faybley after that means you accept the new Terms; if you would rather not, cancel and stop using the Service.

If any part of these Terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest stands, and that part is narrowed only as far as necessary to make it work. Not enforcing a term once does not waive it. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us. You may not transfer them; we may, to a successor. Questions go to hello@faybley.com.
