1. Acceptance of These Terms
By downloading, installing, accessing, creating an account for, purchasing a subscription to, or using Leo’s Tales by Mama: Storytime, referred to in these Terms as the “App,” you agree to these Terms of Use.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the App.
The parent or legal guardian who creates or controls the account accepts these Terms on their own behalf and, where applicable, on behalf of the child using the App.
Children must not independently create accounts, manage subscriptions, make purchases, or access parent-directed areas of the App.
2. About the App
Leo’s Tales by Mama: Storytime is a children’s storytelling application offering educational and entertainment content for families.
Depending on the selected story, age group, language mode, subscription, device, and platform, the App may include:
- Bilingual storytelling experiences
- English-language and Russian-language stories
- Human narration
- Read and listen modes
- Age-appropriate story collections
- Educational themes and life lessons
- Background music and illustrations
- Offline or downloadable story content
- Parent-controlled child profiles
- Story progress and account synchronization
The App is provided for general educational, storytelling, and entertainment purposes. We do not guarantee:
- A particular educational result
- Language fluency
- Improved academic performance
- A specific developmental outcome
- That every story will be suitable for every individual child
Parents should consider the child’s age, sensitivity, interests, and developmental needs when selecting content.
3. Parent Accounts and Child Profiles
A parent or legal guardian may be required to create and control the main account.
The parent is responsible for:

- Keeping login credentials confidential
- Supervising the child’s use of the App
- Managing child profiles
- Managing subscriptions and purchases
- Protecting access to parent-controlled areas
- Ensuring that the App is used consistently with these Terms
A child profile is not an independent account. It exists within and is controlled through the parent account. Parents should use a nickname rather than a child’s full legal name.
You must promptly inform us if you believe an account has been accessed without permission.
4. Licence to Use the App
Subject to these Terms, any applicable store rules, and payment of any required subscription fees, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable licence to install and use the App on compatible devices for private, non-commercial family use.

- Public chat rooms
- Direct messaging between users
- Public comments
- Stranger interaction
- Public child profiles
- Publicly shared user-generated content
7.4 Privacy
Our collection and use of information are described in the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms and should be reviewed by the parent or legal guardian.
7.5 No behavioural advertising
The App does not include third-party behavioural advertising directed at children. We do not use children’s information for targeted advertising or advertising profiling.
8. Free Content and Premium Content
The App may provide a combination of free and paid content.
Free content may include:
- Selected introductory stories
- Promotional stories
- Gift or reward content
- Temporarily available stories
- Limited-access content
Premium content may require an active subscription or another valid entitlement.
We may add, remove, replace, reorganize, or update free and premium content. We will not intentionally remove access already required by mandatory consumer law, but the content catalogue is not guaranteed to remain unchanged permanently.
9. Subscriptions
The App may offer automatically renewing subscriptions that provide access to premium content.
Available billing periods, prices, currencies, introductory offers, and trial conditions will be displayed before purchase through the applicable store. Subscriptions may include monthly, annual, or other billing periods made available through Apple or Google.
By purchasing a subscription, the parent authorizes the applicable store to charge the selected payment method according to the offer displayed at the time of purchase.
Subscriptions generally renew automatically unless cancelled before the store processes the next renewal. The exact renewal date, subscription price, billing period, trial period, cancellation conditions, and renewal conditions are displayed by Apple or Google before the purchase is confirmed.
Additional subscription-management rules may apply under the terms of the Apple App Store or Google Play.
10. Free Trials and Promotional Offers
Where a free trial or promotional subscription is offered, the applicable conditions will be displayed before the subscription begins.
Unless cancelled before the trial or promotional period ends, the subscription may convert into a paid automatically renewing subscription at the displayed price.
Eligibility for trials and promotional offers may be limited by:
- Platform rules
- Account history
- Previous subscriptions
- Country or region
- Offer availability
Not every user will necessarily be eligible for every offer.
11. Subscription Cancellation
Subscriptions must be managed through the store account used for purchase.
- Apple devices: Subscriptions purchased through Apple can generally be managed through:
*Device Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions*
- Android devices: Subscriptions purchased through Google Play can generally be managed through:
*Google Play → Profile → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions*
Menu names and steps may change according to the operating system or store version.
Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period unless the applicable store or law provides otherwise. After cancellation, access to premium content may continue until the end of the current entitlement period.
12. Account Deletion and Subscription Cancellation
Deleting a child profile, deleting the parent account, clearing local app data, or uninstalling the App does not automatically cancel an active subscription or prevent a scheduled renewal.
The parent must separately cancel the subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play account settings.
Deleting the parent account removes associated account information in accordance with the Privacy Policy, subject to applicable backup, security, accounting, and legal-retention requirements. Following account deletion, access to synchronized progress, profiles, or subscription-linked features may no longer be available.
13. Payments and Refunds
Payments are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not directly receive or store complete payment-card information.
Refund eligibility and refund processing are governed by:
- The policies of the store through which the purchase was made
- The circumstances of the transaction
- Applicable consumer-protection law
Refund requests should normally be submitted through Apple or Google. Where permitted or required, we may provide information or reasonable assistance regarding purchase or refund enquiries. The availability and method of refund assistance may vary according to the store, transaction, location, and applicable law.
Cancellation of a subscription does not necessarily create an automatic right to a refund for the current billing period.
Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or consumer right that cannot legally be excluded.
14. Price Changes
Subscription prices may change.
Where required, Apple or Google will provide notice, request consent, or apply other procedures before a changed subscription price takes effect. The applicable store determines how and when price changes apply to existing subscriptions.
A parent may cancel the subscription before a new price takes effect, subject to the store’s applicable rules.
15. Downloaded and Offline Content
The App may allow selected stories or other content to be downloaded for offline use.
Downloaded content:
- Remains licensed rather than sold
- Is for personal, private use within the App
- May depend on an active subscription or entitlement
- May require occasional internet access for verification
- May be removed when the App is uninstalled
- May become unavailable after account deletion or subscription expiration
- May need to be downloaded again following an update
- May not be extracted, copied, or transferred outside the App
Downloading content does not transfer ownership or create a permanent right to retain the content indefinitely.
16. Restore Purchases
Where supported by the applicable platform, the App may provide a method for restoring eligible purchases or subscription entitlements.
Restoration may require:
- Use of the same Apple or Google account
- An active or previously valid purchase
- Internet access
- Verification by the applicable store
- Login to the relevant parent account
We cannot guarantee restoration where the store cannot verify the purchase or where the purchase was made through a different store account.
17. Internet, Device, and Compatibility Requirements
Some App features require:
- A compatible device
- A supported operating-system version
- Sufficient storage space
- An internet connection
- Access to Apple or Google platform services
Functionality may be reduced or unavailable because of:
- Loss of internet access
- Device limitations or unsupported operating systems
- Insufficient storage
- Platform-service outages
- App updates or maintenance
- Security restrictions
- Country or regional limitations
You are responsible for any internet, mobile-data, device, or third-party charges associated with using the App.
18. Availability and Changes to the Service
We aim to provide a reliable service, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.
The App or particular features may be temporarily unavailable because of:
- Maintenance or updates
- Technical failures or security events
- Hosting interruptions
- Store restrictions
- Legal requirements
- Circumstances beyond our reasonable control
We may modify, improve, replace, suspend, or discontinue features or content. Where a material change affects an active paid subscription, we will provide notice where reasonably possible or legally required.
19. Third-Party Services
The App relies on selected third-party services for purposes that may include app distribution, payments, subscription management, authentication, backend infrastructure, data hosting, and native platform diagnostics. These services may include Apple, Google, and Supabase.
Third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for third-party services beyond the extent required by applicable law.
20. External Links
The App or website may contain links to external services, including:
- Apple App Store
- Google Play
- TikTok
- Subscription-management pages
- Support and legal pages
External links intended for parents will be placed behind an appropriate parent-controlled area or parental gate inside the child-accessible part of the App where required.
We do not control external websites or services and are not responsible for their availability, content, privacy practices, or security.
21. Privacy and Data Protection
Use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy.
The Privacy Policy explains:
- What information we process and why it is processed
- Which service providers are involved
- How long information is retained
- How parents can delete profiles and accounts
- What privacy rights may apply
Parents are responsible for reviewing the Privacy Policy before creating an account or allowing a child to use the App.
22. Feedback and Communications
Parents may send feedback, suggestions, questions, or support requests.
You retain ownership of any original feedback you provide, but you grant us permission to use non-confidential suggestions and general feedback to improve the App, provided we do not publicly identify you or your child without permission.
You must not submit:
- Unlawful content or malicious files
- Content that violates another person’s rights
- Unnecessary sensitive information about a child
23. Suspension and Termination
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access where reasonably necessary because of:
- A serious or repeated violation of these Terms
- Fraudulent activity or unauthorized access
- Security threats or abuse of the service
- Unlawful use
- Conduct that harms users, the App, or third parties
- A legal or regulatory requirement
Where appropriate, we may provide notice or an opportunity to correct the issue.
A parent may stop using the App at any time and may delete the parent account through the available account-deletion process. Termination or account deletion does not automatically cancel an active subscription.
Unless required by applicable law or store policy, suspension or termination does not automatically create a right to a refund.
Sections concerning intellectual property, liability, payment obligations, governing law, and other provisions intended by their nature to survive will remain effective after termination.
24. Disclaimers
The App is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that:
- The App will always be available or completely free from errors
- Every device will remain compatible
- All content will remain permanently available
- Use of the App will produce a particular educational result
- Downloads will remain available indefinitely
- Every story will be appropriate for every child
Parents remain responsible for deciding which stories and features are appropriate for their child.
Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, guarantees, or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
25. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from use of or inability to use the App.
This may include loss caused by:
- Service interruption or device incompatibility

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for:

- Intentional misconduct
- Any liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit
- Mandatory consumer rights
Where liability can lawfully be limited, our total liability relating to the App will not exceed the greater of:
- The amount paid by the user for the App during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
- Any minimum amount required by applicable law.
26. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to compensate us for reasonable losses, claims, or costs resulting directly from:
- Your unlawful use of the App
- Your serious violation of these Terms
- Your infringement of another person’s rights
- Fraudulent or abusive activity conducted through your account
This section does not apply where the loss was caused by our own wrongful conduct or where such an obligation is prohibited by consumer law.
27. Updates to the App
We may release updates to add features, improve security, fix errors, maintain compatibility, change content, or meet legal or platform requirements.
Some updates may be required for continued use. Older versions may stop working or may no longer receive support.
28. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms when:
- App features or subscription arrangements change
- Service providers change
- Legal requirements or platform rules change
- Security or operational practices change
The revised version will display an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated through the App, website, email, or another appropriate method where required.
Updated Terms apply from the effective date stated in the revised document. Continued use after that date may indicate acceptance of the revised Terms, except where applicable law requires express consent.
29. Apple and Google Platform Terms
Use of the iOS version is also subject to applicable Apple terms, including Apple’s standard end-user licence terms where applicable. Use of the Android version is also subject to applicable Google Play terms.
Apple or Google terms may govern matters including store access, payment processing, billing, subscription management, refunds, device eligibility, family sharing, and purchase restoration.
If a store rule conflicts with these Terms regarding a store-managed transaction, the applicable store rule will govern that transaction.
30. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Georgia, the country in which the operator is registered.
Disputes will be subject to the competent courts of Georgia, except where the user is entitled under mandatory consumer law to bring or defend a claim in another jurisdiction.
Nothing in these Terms deprives a consumer of mandatory protections available under the laws of their country of residence.
Before beginning formal proceedings, the parties should attempt in good faith to resolve the matter by contacting: leostalesbymama@gmail.com
31. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
The affected provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable where legally possible.
32. No Waiver
Failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce it later. A waiver is effective only if it is made clearly and in writing.
33. Assignment
You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written permission.
We may transfer our rights and obligations in connection with a legitimate business transfer, restructuring, or sale, subject to applicable law and appropriate protection of user rights.
34. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any purchase terms displayed by Apple or Google, constitute the agreement governing use of the App.
They replace prior discussions or statements concerning the same subject, except where otherwise required by law.
