Terms

The basic terms for using Budding to make and read storybooks with children.

Start a bookHow it works

Account and child use

  • Budding accounts are adult-owned; parents, guardians, and teachers are responsible for child use, account activity, billing actions, and shared links.
  • Children should use Budding with adult involvement and must not create separate child email or social-login accounts.
  • The child-facing creation flow stays focused on making books, not account setup, provider jargon, ads, or payment pressure.

Content and AI output

  • Users retain applicable rights in their story ideas while granting Budding the license needed to operate, host, process, generate, display, share, cache, moderate, and delete content.
  • AI output may be imperfect, delayed, unavailable, blocked, or unsuitable; Budding does not guarantee quality, continuity, originality, or uninterrupted generation.
  • Budding may refuse, remove, unshare, restrict, suspend, or delete content or accounts for safety, privacy, abuse, fraud, chargeback, legal, infringement, provider-policy, or product-integrity reasons.

Subscriptions and refunds

  • The Free plan includes three books per month and requires no payment card.
  • On iPhone and iPad, paid subscriptions are purchased through the Apple App Store, charged to the adult's Apple Account, and renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Apple bills renewal within 24 hours before the period ends, and the adult can manage or cancel in App Store subscription settings.
  • On the web, Stripe handles paid checkout and billing management. Budding grants access only from verified Apple transaction state, verified Stripe webhook state, or a separately authorized non-purchase entitlement.
  • Apple handles refunds for App Store purchases under Apple's policies. Web payment refunds are normally limited and case-by-case, including duplicate charges, clear billing mistakes, serious technical access failures, or legal requirements.
  • Promotional grants, gifts, and admin access may expire, be limited, or be revoked for abuse, billing, safety, legal, or product-integrity reasons.
