Terms of Service

These Terms apply to DreamCraftr's global AI storybook platform, including the character reference image feature used to create illustrated story characters from a parent or guardian-provided photograph.

Please read these Terms carefully before creating an account, uploading any image, purchasing credits, or using generated outputs.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of DreamCraftr, including dreamcraftr.com, our applications, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, clicking to accept, making a purchase, uploading content, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service. We may revise these Terms from time to time by posting an updated version on the Service. Your continued use after the updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. The Service

DreamCraftr is a global AI-powered software-as-a-service platform that enables adult users to create personalized children's stories and illustrated books. The Service may use generative text and image models, including Google Vertex AI, Gemini, and Imagen, to generate story text, artwork, and related creative outputs based on the information, prompts, and materials you provide.

Certain features allow you to upload a reference photograph, including a child's photograph, to guide character illustrations. Those features are subject to the additional eligibility, consent, acceptable use, and indemnity obligations set out in these Terms.

3. Eligibility, Adult Use Only, and Account Responsibility

The Service is only available to individuals who are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract. Accounts must be created, controlled, and paid for by an adult. Children may not create accounts, purchase credits, or use the Service independently.

If you use the Service on behalf of a company, school, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

• You must provide accurate, current, and complete registration and billing information.
• You must promptly update your account information if it changes.
• You are responsible for all prompts, uploads, generated assets, reviews, and other activity under your account.
• We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe your account is compromised or used in violation of these Terms.

4. Minor Likenesses, Parental Rights, and Upload Warranties

If you upload the likeness, name, voice, or any other identifying information of a minor, you represent and warrant that you are that minor's parent or legal guardian, or that you have obtained all legally required rights, permissions, and consents necessary to provide that material to DreamCraftr for the requested generation activity.

You further represent and warrant that any such upload is lawful in every jurisdiction relevant to you, the minor, and the content at issue, and that the upload and requested generation do not infringe any privacy, publicity, data protection, child protection, or other rights of any person.

• You are solely responsible for verifying that you have full authority to upload any image of a minor.
• You must not upload a minor's likeness if you are not the parent or legal guardian or do not otherwise hold the legally sufficient right to do so.
• You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DreamCraftr and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any third-party claim, complaint, investigation, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to your upload or use of any minor's likeness or personal data without proper authorization.

5. Character Reference Images and Transient Processing

DreamCraftr offers a character reference image feature to help the Service generate illustrated characters that resemble the person shown in the uploaded photograph. Original uploaded reference images are processed on a transient basis solely to execute the AI generation request. DreamCraftr does not permanently store the original uploaded image on its application servers or databases.

Reference images are held temporarily in volatile memory or similarly transient processing infrastructure during generation and are deleted immediately after the generation workflow is complete. DreamCraftr stores only the resulting generated illustration or story output that you choose to save to your account, not the original source photograph.

DreamCraftr does not harvest, map, extract, retain, sell, or store biometric identifiers, facial templates, facial geometry, or other biometric information from uploaded reference images. You remain responsible for ensuring your uploads comply with all applicable law and these Terms.

6. User Content, Inputs, and AI-Generated Outputs

As between you and DreamCraftr, you retain ownership of the prompts, text, reference materials, and other content you submit to the Service, subject to the rights you grant to us to operate, secure, improve, and provide the Service. You grant DreamCraftr a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, transmit, modify, and process your inputs and outputs solely as necessary to provide the Service, comply with law, enforce these Terms, prevent abuse, and maintain or improve platform safety and functionality.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and any applicable payment obligations, DreamCraftr assigns to you any rights we may have in the unique arrangement of the generated story and image outputs created for your account. You may use those outputs for personal or commercial purposes, except to the extent restricted by these Terms, third-party rights, or applicable law.

Because generative AI systems are probabilistic, outputs may not be unique, and other users may receive similar or identical results. You acknowledge that AI-generated content may not qualify for copyright, moral rights protection, or equivalent intellectual property protection in some jurisdictions. DreamCraftr makes no representation or warranty that any output is protectable, non-infringing, merchantable, accurate, or fit for your intended purpose.

7. Public Sharing and Community Features

If you choose to publish a story or post a review through the Service, that content may be visible to other users together with your display name and any profile metadata associated with the feature. By making content public within the Service, you grant DreamCraftr a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, host, reproduce, adapt for formatting, and distribute that content within the Service and in DreamCraftr promotional materials relating to the Service.

You may remove public visibility for eligible content using the tools we make available, but cached or archival copies may persist for a limited period where reasonably necessary for operational, legal, or security purposes.

8. Acceptable Use and Zero-Tolerance Restrictions

You must use the Service lawfully, responsibly, and in a manner that does not violate the rights or safety of others. DreamCraftr maintains a zero-tolerance policy for content or conduct that endangers children, exploits personal likenesses without consent, or abuses the Service. You must not use the Service to:

• Upload, generate, request, share, or distribute sexually explicit, exploitative, abusive, hateful, violent, or otherwise unlawful content.
• Upload or use any image, likeness, or personal data of a child or adult without all legally required rights, authorizations, and consents.
• Upload copyrighted, trademarked, proprietary, or confidential material unless you have the legal right to do so and to authorize its processing through the Service.
• Create, request, or distribute non-consensual intimate imagery, deceptive impersonations, or content that invades privacy or publicity rights.
• Create, request, or distribute discriminatory, defamatory, misleading, or fraudulent material, including misinformation presented as verified fact.
• Probe, scan, reverse engineer, disrupt, overload, or bypass security or usage limits of the Service or any related system.
• Use bots, scripts, scrapers, or automated means to access or extract content from the Service except through approved interfaces.
• Violate any applicable export control, sanctions, consumer protection, child protection, privacy, intellectual property, or other applicable law.

9. Enforcement, Suspension, and Data Scrubbing

If we believe, in our sole but reasonable discretion, that you have violated these Terms, applicable law, or platform safety rules, we may remove content, block generation requests, suspend features, cancel transactions, freeze credits, terminate your account, notify relevant authorities, and scrub or delete associated data to the extent permitted or required by law.

We are not required to provide advance notice before taking action in cases involving child safety, non-consensual imagery, fraud, security threats, or other serious violations. Immediate account termination and data scrubbing may be applied without prior warning.

10. Fees, Merchant of Record, Taxes, and Refunds

Certain parts of the Service require payment, including credit packs and subscription plans. All payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the Merchant of Record for applicable transactions. By completing a purchase, you also agree to the applicable Lemon Squeezy checkout, billing, refund, tax, and payment processing terms.

Lemon Squeezy handles checkout, collects and remits applicable taxes, and presents the final billed amount based on the transaction and jurisdiction, including VAT, GST, sales tax, and similar indirect taxes where required. Billing disputes, chargebacks, card processing matters, and payment instrument handling are subject to Lemon Squeezy's terms and processes.

Subscription Auto-Renewal (California Automatic Renewal Law and Global Equivalents): If you purchase a subscription plan, it will automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly, or as otherwise stated at checkout) at the then-current subscription price, and your saved payment method will be charged automatically at the beginning of each renewal period unless you cancel before the renewal date. If the subscription price increases materially, DreamCraftr will provide you with advance notice of the new price before it takes effect, and you will have an opportunity to cancel before the increase applies. You may cancel your subscription at any time through the billing management section of your account dashboard (Account → Billing) or by contacting support@dreamcraftr.com — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period and no further charges will be incurred.

• Prices, credits, plan features, and subscription terms may change prospectively. Material price changes to subscription plans will be communicated to affected subscribers in advance.
• Unless otherwise required by law, fees are non-refundable once credits are consumed or generation has started.
• If a technical failure caused by DreamCraftr prevents delivery of purchased functionality, we may at our discretion provide replacement credits, a service extension, or another appropriate remedy.
• You are responsible for any bank fees, currency conversion charges, or other third-party costs associated with your payment method.

11. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The Service relies on third-party infrastructure and providers, including Google Vertex AI, Gemini, and Imagen for content generation, cloud hosting and authentication providers, analytics providers where consented, and Lemon Squeezy for payments. Your use of certain functionality may therefore also be subject to third-party terms, policies, and technical limitations beyond DreamCraftr's control.

DreamCraftr is not responsible for third-party services, products, policies, outages, or acts or omissions except to the extent required by non-waivable law.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. DREAMCRAFTR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, SECURITY, OR UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY.

DreamCraftr does not warrant that the Service or any generated output will be accurate, complete, lawful, child-appropriate, non-offensive, non-infringing, commercially valuable, or suitable for publication or professional reliance. AI-generated outputs may contain hallucinations, factual mistakes, biased content, stylistic inconsistencies, or material that you or others find objectionable. You are solely responsible for reviewing, deciding whether to use, publish, print, distribute, or rely on any output.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DreamCraftr and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or aggravated damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, data, or opportunity, arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DreamCraftr's aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid through the Service in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (USD $50). Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including mandatory consumer rights where such rights apply.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DreamCraftr and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your content, prompts, uploads, or outputs; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (d) your infringement or misappropriation of any third-party right; or (e) your upload or use of any minor's likeness, personal data, or image without legally sufficient authority.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you breach these Terms, create legal or security risk, fail to pay applicable fees, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

Termination does not affect accrued rights or obligations, including payment obligations, indemnities, liability limitations, arbitration obligations, or any provisions that by their nature should survive termination. We may delete or retain account data and outputs in accordance with our Privacy Policy and legal obligations.

16. Governing Law and International Arbitration

These Terms and any non-contractual disputes arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of Botswana, without regard to conflict of laws principles that would require application of another jurisdiction's law.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or any alleged breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof that cannot be resolved informally within thirty (30) days will be finally resolved by binding international arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in English under internationally recognized commercial arbitration rules selected by DreamCraftr in the notice commencing arbitration, and the seat of arbitration will be Gaborone, Botswana, unless applicable law requires another forum. Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and DreamCraftr agree that disputes will be brought only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, or mass action. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking interim or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information, child safety, privacy rights, or platform security.

17. Miscellaneous

• These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and DreamCraftr regarding the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous agreements on the same subject matter.
• If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
• DreamCraftr's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or any other right.
• You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

18. Copyright, DMCA Safe Harbor, and Takedown Procedure

DreamCraftr respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) ("DMCA"). DreamCraftr maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are confirmed repeat copyright infringers.

If you believe that content available on or through the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a written DMCA takedown notice to our designated copyright agent at copyright@dreamcraftr.com. To be valid, your notice must include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent.
• Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are at issue.
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to allow DreamCraftr to locate it on the Service (e.g., a URL or descriptive location).
• Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on their behalf.

19. DMCA Counter-Notification

If content you submitted was removed or disabled following a DMCA takedown notice and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to copyright@dreamcraftr.com. A valid counter-notification must include: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the material removed and its location on the Service before removal; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification; (d) your name, postal address, and telephone number; and (e) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the U.S., any judicial district where DreamCraftr may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, DreamCraftr will process it in accordance with the DMCA and may restore the removed material if the original complainant does not initiate a court action within the statutory period. Nothing in this section constitutes legal advice; consult a qualified attorney if you are unsure whether a notice or counter-notification is appropriate.

20. Email Communications (CAN-SPAM)

By creating a DreamCraftr account, you agree to receive transactional emails necessary to operate your account, including registration confirmations, password resets, billing receipts, subscription renewal notices, and material service announcements. Where you have opted in, you may also receive promotional emails such as feature announcements, special offers, and story-creation tips.

You may opt out of non-essential marketing emails at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any marketing email, or by contacting support@dreamcraftr.com with the subject line "Unsubscribe." We will honor opt-out requests within ten (10) business days as required by the CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq.). Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional emails necessary to administer your account or billing relationship. Our physical mailing address is included in the footer of every marketing email we send and is published in our Privacy Policy.
