Terms of Service

Welcome to StoryPath. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the StoryPath application (the “App”) operated by StoryPath LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

Please read these Terms carefully before using the App. By accessing or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using StoryPath, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and StoryPath LLC. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use the App.

If you are a professional using the App in a professional capacity (such as a speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, teacher, or educator), you represent that you have the authority to agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself or your organization.

2. Account Terms

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. Accounts for children are not permitted — only parents, caregivers, and professionals may create accounts. Child profiles are created and managed by adult account holders.

Account Creation

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. You agree to update your information to keep it accurate and current.

One Account Per Person

Each individual may maintain only one account. Creating multiple accounts may result in termination of all associated accounts.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.

Account Types

• Family accounts: For parents and caregivers creating stories for their children
• Professional accounts: For speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, teachers, educators, and other professionals working with families

Account Termination

By you: You may delete your account at any time through the App settings. Account deletion will remove your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

By us: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, with or without notice. We may also terminate accounts that have been inactive for an extended period.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to use the App to:

• Upload, share, or create content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise objectionable
• Upload content that exploits or endangers children in any way
• Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely represent your professional qualifications
• Send spam, unsolicited communications, or malware
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts or data
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
• Use the App for any commercial purpose not intended by its design (e.g., reselling access)
• Circumvent or disable any security features, including edit mode protections
• Scrape, harvest, or collect user information without authorization
• Upload content that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others

Violation of these acceptable use policies may result in immediate account termination. We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these policies without prior notice.

4. Content Ownership and Licensing

Your Content

You retain ownership of all content you create using the App, including stories, templates, images, text, and voice recordings. Your content belongs to you.

License to Us

By using the App, you grant StoryPath LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and transmit your content solely for the purpose of providing the App's functionality. This includes displaying your stories, enabling sharing with connected users, and backing up your data.

Shared Content

When you share a story with a professional, you grant that professional a limited license to view and interact with the shared content within the App. You can revoke this access at any time by removing the share.

Marketplace Content

If you publish a template to the community marketplace, you grant other users a license to download and use that template to create their own stories. You can remove your template from the marketplace at any time, but copies already downloaded by other users will remain in their libraries.

Our Content

The App, including its design, code, branding, and default templates, is owned by StoryPath LLC. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of our content without written permission.

Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the App, we may use them without any obligation to compensate you.
