Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-11-07
Effective date: November 7, 2026
These Terms are an agreement between you and SPIRITSAUTOMATION LLC, Illinois, USA (“we”, “us”), the operator of the Talescroll app (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service
Talescroll listens while a book is read aloud and creates illustrations of the story as it is being read. The pictures are made by artificial intelligence. The Service is provided as a service: what you pay for is the generation, not ownership of anything that is generated (see section 5).
2. Accounts
- You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. Talescroll is a family app: children may use it on your account, reading with you or on their own with your permission. You are responsible for your child’s use of the Service and for deciding what books they read with it.
- You sign in with Apple or Google. You are responsible for everything done through your account and your family group.
- One person, one account. Creating extra accounts to get free illustrations again is not allowed.
3. Subscriptions and illustrations
- The Service is offered through auto-renewing subscriptions (monthly or yearly) bought through the Apple App Store. Prices and the number of illustrations in each plan are shown in the app before you buy.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel a subscription.
- Each plan gives a number of illustrations per month. A yearly plan gets the same number every month. Unused illustrations do not carry over to the next month and end when the subscription ends.
- When you upgrade to a bigger plan, you get the new plan’s full allotment. Apple handles the price difference.
- A new account gets a small number of free illustrations once. They are given only once per sign-in, including after an account is deleted.
- Illustrations are shared within your family group.
- Prices are shown in your local currency by the App Store. If a price changes, Apple will notify existing subscribers before the new price applies.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies: request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases.
4. Your books and your reading
- You may use the Service only with books you lawfully own, borrowed, or otherwise have the right to read.
- The text of a book belongs to its author and publisher. We do not claim ownership of it. We process what was read only to provide the Service.
- You must not use the Service to create content that is illegal, hateful, sexually explicit, or that infringes anyone’s rights, and you must not try to get around its limits, copy, reverse engineer, or overload it.
5. Ownership of generated content
- All illustrations, portraits, covers, and other content generated by the Service (“Generated Content”) belong to SPIRITSAUTOMATION LLC. We are the sole rights holder. Using the Service or paying for a subscription does not transfer any ownership or rights in Generated Content to you.
- We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to view Generated Content in the app and to share it with others through the app’s sharing features, for non-commercial purposes only.
- We may use, store, show, modify, and publish Generated Content for any purpose, including on our website, in the App Store, and in marketing, without credit or payment to you. When we do, we do not show your name or any information that identifies you.
- The Talescroll name, logo, app design, and software belong to us.
6. Artificial intelligence: accuracy and quality
The Service relies on artificial intelligence models, some of them operated by third parties: speech recognition, language models that follow the story, and image models that draw it. By their nature these models are probabilistic. They can make mistakes and can produce content that looks convincing but is wrong (often called “hallucinations”). You understand and agree that:
- Generated Content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inconsistent. For example, speech may be misheard, a book’s title or author may be identified wrongly, a character may look different from one scene to the next, details of a scene may not match the text, or an image may contain visual errors.
- Quality varies. The same passage can give different results at different times, and results depend on things such as reading clarity, background noise, language, the book, and the models available at the moment. We may change or replace the models we use at any time, which may change the style or quality of results.
- Content may occasionally be unsuitable. We use safeguards, but we cannot guarantee that every image is appropriate for every child. Please supervise children while they use the Service, and contact us if you see something inappropriate.
- Generated Content does not reflect the views of the author, the publisher, or us, and is not an authoritative depiction of the book.
- We do not guarantee any particular accuracy, consistency, or quality of Generated Content, and an inaccurate or unsatisfying result is not a defect of the Service. Illustrations used up on results you did not like are not returned, except where the law requires.
Nothing in this section limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.
7. Ending your use
You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account in the app (Library menu → Delete account). We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms or abuses the Service. Sections 5, 8, 9, and 10 continue to apply after your account ends.
8. No warranty
The Service and all Generated Content are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Service will always be available or error-free, or that every passage will be illustrated.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the claim. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, USA, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, unless the law of your country requires otherwise.
11. Apple
These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and is not responsible for any claims relating to the Service. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms. We will change the effective date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app. If you continue to use the Service after a change, you accept the updated Terms.
