Your inputs: You own the intake data you provide (child details, interests, topic). You grant us a limited license to use it solely to operate the Service.
Generated stories: Subject to these Terms and applicable law, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use and share stories generated under your account for personal and family use.
Our platform: The Willownook name, design, underlying software, prompt system, and all related intellectual property remain our exclusive property.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use personal information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
9. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
Willownook accounts are for caregivers aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly allow children under 13 to create accounts or submit personal information directly. The child details entered in the story intake form are provided by the caregiver, not the child. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle this data.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WILLOWNOOK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised Terms here with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. For material changes, we will notify you by email at least 14 days in advance.
