Terms of use

Updated: September 2026

1. Who provides the service

TaleBud is provided by TaleBud, Spain. Contact: hola@talebud.com. By using TaleBud you accept these terms; if you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.

2. Who it’s for

TaleBud is an educational tool for children learning to read, meant to be used with adult supervision. Accounts always belong to an adult, who accepts these terms and the privacy policy. It’s for personal and family use, not commercial use.

3. Free trial

• Without signing up: 1 trial story on your device, plus the sample stories and games.
• With a free account: for the first 7 days, up to 2 new stories a day with every feature; for the next 7 days, up to 2 stories that week. No card needed.
• When the trial ends, if you don’t subscribe, no new stories are created, but you can keep reading your library and the sample stories and playing. While payments aren’t active yet, you can keep creating 2 stories a week.
• One trial per family. To prevent abuse we also limit stories created without an account per connection (see the privacy policy).

4. Premium

• Price: €5.99/month or €49.99/year, VAT included. We always show the final price before you pay.
• What’s included: new stories every day with fair use (up to 10 a day), Premium illustrations (in up to 60 stories a month; after that, standard illustrations), sagas with “Another chapter” and a bigger library.
• Renewal: the subscription renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel it.
• Cancelling: anytime, from the parents’ area (Plans → Manage subscription). You keep Premium until the end of the period already paid and you won’t be charged again.
• Price changes: we’ll tell you at least 30 days in advance; if you don’t agree, you can cancel before they apply.
• Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card details.
• Beta: payments aren’t active yet; this section will apply once they are.

5. Right of withdrawal

If you’re a consumer, you can withdraw from the subscription within 14 calendar days of buying it, without giving a reason, by emailing hola@talebud.com. Because Premium starts working as soon as you buy it (you ask us to when paying), if you withdraw we’ll refund what you paid minus the proportional part of the time you’ve already used. We’ll refund you using the same payment method within 14 days.

6. AI-generated content

Stories, illustrations and activities are created with artificial intelligence and may contain errors. We filter what goes in and what comes out so it’s suitable for children, but no filter is perfect: that’s why we recommend adult supervision. If you see something inappropriate, email us and we’ll review it.

7. Acceptable use

You may not use TaleBud to create content inappropriate for children, try to bypass the service’s limits or security, automate requests or resell the service. We may suspend accounts that do.

8. Your stories

The ideas, drawings and voice recordings are yours. You can read, print and share the stories you create for personal and family use. We only use what’s needed to provide the service (see the privacy policy) and never for ads. The TaleBud brand, its characters, design and software are ours.

9. Liability

We take all reasonable care for TaleBud to work well, but being in beta it may have bugs or change. We’re not liable for indirect damages from using the app, except where the law doesn’t allow liability to be limited (for example, intent or gross negligence). Nothing here limits your rights as a consumer.

10. Changes and governing law

If we change anything relevant in these terms, we’ll publish it here and, if you have an account, let you know in the app. They’re governed by Spanish law; if you’re a consumer, you may go to the courts of your place of residence or use consumer arbitration and out-of-court dispute resolution schemes.
