•       Upload of photographs for AI-assisted story generation

•       Generation of personalised social story content and images

•       Purchase of story generation credits via Stripe

The Service is intended to support parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists in creating accessible, personalised resources for children and individuals with neurodivergence.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account and use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older.

The Service is designed to be used by adults on behalf of children or individuals with neurodivergence. It is not intended to be accessed directly by children. You are solely responsible for ensuring appropriate use of stories created through the Service.

By registering, you also confirm that you have the legal authority to upload any photographs you submit to the Service, including any photographs that feature children or other individuals.

You may delete individual saved stories at any time from within the Service.

6. Credits and Payment

6.1 Credit System

Story generation on the Service operates on a credit-based system. Each story generation consumes one (1) credit. Credits can be purchased in the following packages (all prices in Australian Dollars, AUD):

•       1 Credit — AUD $2.99

•       3 Credits — AUD $4.99

•       Eligible new users may receive one free story credit under the Explorer offer. This offer is intended for genuine new users only. We may refuse, limit, or remove free credits where we reasonably believe a person is creating multiple accounts or otherwise attempting to misuse the offer.

•       Purchased credits do not expire while your account remains active and the Service remains available.

Credit packages and pricing are subject to change. Any changes will be reflected on the Service prior to taking effect.

6.2 Payment Processing

All payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card or payment details. By completing a purchase, you agree to Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy, available at stripe.com.

Credits are added to your account upon successful payment confirmation. If credits are not received after payment, please contact us at hello@lionmainstories.com.

6.3 Refund Policy

Credit purchases are generally non-refundable for change of mind, unused credits, accidental purchases, or dissatisfaction with AI-generated creative output. If a technical issue prevents credits from being applied or used as intended, we may provide replacement credits. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under Australian Consumer Law.

If you experience a technical issue, please contact us at hello@lionmainstories.com with a description of the problem. Where a technical error is confirmed, we may issue replacement credits.

Credits have no monetary value and cannot be transferred, exchanged, or redeemed for cash.

7. User Content and Photographs

7.1 Photograph Upload

When you upload photographs to the Service, those photographs are transmitted securely to Google AI, and any replacement or additional AI provider we may use in future, solely for the purpose of generating story content. Your original photographs are not stored by us after processing is complete.

By uploading photographs, you represent and warrant that:

•       You own the photographs or have the legal right and consent to use them

•       You have obtained any necessary consents from individuals depicted in the photographs, including consent to process their image using AI tools

By saving content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and display that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

You are solely responsible for how you use, store, share, or distribute stories created through the Service.

8. AI-Generated Content

Story content and images generated through the Service are produced by Google AI, and any replacement or additional AI provider we may use in future. While we strive to provide useful and appropriate outputs, we make no guarantees about the accuracy, suitability, completeness, or appropriateness of AI-generated content for any specific individual or purpose.

AI-generated content should be reviewed by a responsible adult before use with a child or individual with neurodivergence. It is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or educational advice.

We are not responsible for the outputs produced by AI systems, including any unexpected, inaccurate, or unsuitable content.

This may include removing content, suspending accounts, refusing service, preserving relevant records, or reporting concerns to appropriate authorities where required or appropriate.
