All DoodleTale branding, designs, content on our Website or iOS App, and technology, including, but not limited to, text, graphics, logos, images, source code, databases, software, and functionality are owned by us or our licensors. You may not copy, distribute, modify our intellectual property or create derivative works without our prior express written permission.

If you use our free services, the content you generate may be used, displayed, distributed, and commercialized both on and off the platform by DoodleTale, other users or third-parties worldwide under a royalty-free, sublicensable license. You retain a global, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use your generated content for personal purposes.

If you use our paid services, you retain full ownership of all content you generate, for as long as your paid subscription remains active. While your paid subscription is active, any content you create is private by default and will only be accessed by DoodleTale as needed to provide and improve our Services. You may choose to make this content public at any time and share it in the Community Library. By making your content public or sharing it within or outside the platform, you grant DoodleTale a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to display, distribute, adapt, and use your content for service enhancement, promotion, marketing, and related purposes, including on social media platforms. DoodleTale will not claim authorship or ownership of your content.

If your paid subscription ends or is downgraded to a free account, all content generated during your paid subscription, including any content that you previously kept private, will immediately become subject to the terms and licenses applicable to free accounts. This means DoodleTale and other users or third-parties may use, commercialize, display, and distribute such content both on and off the platform, and you will no longer have exclusive or private rights to that content.  DoodleTale is not responsible for any loss of exclusivity, commercial value, or third-party use of your content after your status changes to a free account.

Maintaining exclusivity, privacy, or brand value is entirely your responsibility. DoodleTale is not responsible for any loss of exclusivity, commercial value, or third-party use of your content at any time, whether you have a paid subscription or a free account. You are fully responsible for ensuring that your content, as well as any AI-generated content you publish or use for personal or commercial purposes, complies with all applicable laws, including third-party intellectual property rights, and you accept the full disclaimers, including AI content accuracy, originality, IP infringement and suitability as set forth in Sections 7 and 10.

7. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

AI-generated stories and outputs may contain unexpected results, inaccuracies, unintended bias, or inappropriate content despite measures taken to minimize such risks. We make no guarantees about accuracy, appropriateness, fitness for a particular purpose or the uniqueness or originality of AI-generated content (such content may resemble creations from other users, and similar or identical outputs might be produced for different users). You are responsible for evaluating the accuracy, suitability, and appropriateness of all AI-generated content. Parental supervision is strongly advised.

You can cancel your subscription anytime through your account settings, with the cancellation taking effect from the following billing cycle. For annual subscriptions, payment will be charged once per year. Your subscription will continue to renew automatically on the selected plan until you cancel. By subscribing, you agree that we may charge your payment method on a recurring basis without needing further approval for each charge until you cancel your subscription.
