By signing up for or using the Service, you agree to the Terms on behalf of yourself and all members of your household and others who use the Service under your Inkspell account.

1. Your Account

To access Inkspell's services, users must create an account. Account creation is free and you are required to provide a valid email address and create a password.
By providing your email, you consent to receive communications from Inkspell related to your account and our services.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and for all activities that occur under your account.

2. Access to Free Content

Users with an active account on Inkspell have access to a selection of content provided at no additional charge. This content may include, but is not limited to, AI-generated stories, staff-created stories, public domain books, and licensed content.
Inkspell reserves the right to add, modify, or remove content made available for free at any time without notice. This may include rotating the selection of free content based on licensing agreements, copyright considerations, or our editorial discretion.

3. Create Your Own Story

Inkspell offers a feature called "Create Your Own Story", allowing users to input a prompt for our AI to create and narrate stories.
Your initial account registration includes three (3) credits that can be redeemed to access this feature to create stories for free. These credits will expire 30 days after your account creation date. Additional credits for the "Create Your Own Story" feature are available for purchase and will be accessible to you indefinitely once bought.
Inkspell offers three distinct story types through the "Create Your Own Story" feature, each varying in length and thematic depth to suit different user preferences:

  • Bedtime Stories: Short narratives designed for relaxation, lasting up to 10 minutes. These stories are suitable for easing into sleep with gentle themes and characters. Bedtime Stories cost (1) credit.
  • Enchanted Tales: Medium-length stories, up to 20 minutes, filled with magic and wonder, ideal for engaging the imagination and inspiring adventure. Enchanted Tales cost (2) credits.
  • Epic Adventures: The longest narratives, extending up to 30 minutes, featuring complex plots and expansive worlds for an immersive storytelling experience. Epic Adventures cost (3) credits.
Users must select the desired story type to create a story, which will determine the narrative's length and credits necessary.
Stories created through the "Create Your Own Story" feature will be available in your library for you to access indefinitely except as otherwise set out in these Terms.

4. Credits

Credits can be purchased by users through Inkspell to access and create personalised stories using the "Create Your Own Story" feature. Credits are sold individually and in bundles, and prices may vary based on the current offers and promotions. Users can view and manage their credit balance and history through their account settings on Inkspell.
Credits are deducted from the user's account balance at the time of transaction for the selected feature or content. Unused credits are valid for an unlimited time, unless specified in the promotional terms and conditions of the purchase.
All credit purchases are final. Credits may only be redeemed on the App, have no cash value, are non-transferable and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law.
Users who subscribe to an Inkspell membership may receive credits as part of their membership benefits. These credits may have different terms of use, including but not limited to, a different expiry period as specified in the membership details.

5. Membership Plans

As part of our Service, we offer membership plans available for weekly, monthly and quarterly periods. Purchasing a membership grants you unlimited access to all pre-made stories and collections for the duration of the membership. Additionally, members receive (3) credits to use per week for the "Create Your Own Story" feature. Credits are renewed every 7 days, from the date of the membership initiating. Credits unused within 7 days will expire.
Members might cancel their membership any time and the cancellation will be effective at the end of the current membership period. Members will be able to continue enjoying their premium access until such time. Membership does not cover content or credits purchased separately. Upon cancellation of an Inkspell membership, access to membership-exclusive content is revoked, but users retain access to previously created or separately purchased content.

6. Purchased Content

Inkspell offers unique stories, books, and collections ("Purchased Content") for sale to users. This Purchased Content is available to users who purchase set stories and collections or sign up for a membership. From time to time, Inkspell may offer promotional discounts on these purchases. All fees and promotional offers will be clearly stated at the point of sale.
Upon completion of purchase, users are granted indefinite access to the Purchased Content. This means that once Purchased Content is bought, it will be available to the user without any additional fees or expiration dates, subject to the terms outlined herein.
All sales of Purchased Content are final. Purchased Content is non-refundable except as required by applicable law or under specific circumstances where the content is faulty, not as described, or where mandatory statutory consumer rights are not met.
Inkspell strives to ensure continuous access to Purchased Content but reserves the right to withdraw or alter this content without liability, should copyright, licensing, or other legal reasons necessitate such action. In such cases, Inkspell will endeavour to provide a suitable replacement or offer a refund at its discretion.
