Terms of Service

• New users get a 7-day free trial with full, unrestricted access to every feature.
• After your trial, your selected plan starts automatically. Payment details are collected at sign-up so the transition is seamless.
• We offer a 14-day "Love It or Leave It" money-back guarantee on your initial purchase. If you are not satisfied for any reason, contact us within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund — no questions asked.
• You can cancel your subscription anytime from your account settings. Cancellation after the 14-day guarantee period does not entitle you to a refund for fees already paid.
• All charges appear on your statement as "PhonicsMaker" in USD.

• Use our Services for personal, educational, and non-commercial purposes — in the classroom, at home, or for tutoring.
• You may print, photocopy, and distribute generated content to students within your teaching context.
• Don't use them for anything unlawful, harmful, or that interferes with the platform or other users.
• Don't use automated bots, scrapers, or unauthorized methods to access our Services.
• Don't reproduce, redistribute, or modify any part of our platform (code, design, branding) without written consent.
• Don't resell or sublicense access to your PhonicsMaker account to third parties.

• PhonicsMaker uses artificial intelligence (including large language models and image generation) to create stories, worksheets, and educational materials aligned to Common Core & state standards.
• AI-generated content is provided as a starting point. We recommend that educators review all generated material before using it with students.
• While we work hard to ensure accuracy and curriculum alignment, AI outputs may occasionally contain errors, inconsistencies, or unexpected content. We are not liable for any inaccuracies in AI-generated material.
• You retain full ownership of any customizations you make to AI-generated content (e.g. edited text, added lesson notes).
• We may use anonymized, aggregated usage patterns to improve our AI models, but we will never use your personal content to train models without your explicit consent.

• You retain all rights to the content you create — stories, word lists, lesson customizations, and classroom materials.
• You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process your content solely to provide the Services (e.g. generating PDFs, rendering previews).
• We will only use your content in accordance with your instructions and our Privacy Policy.
• Generated stories can be customized with your own text, images, and lesson plans — those modifications remain yours.
• All PhonicsMaker content, trademarks, logos, UI design, and code are owned by us or our licensors. You may not use, copy, or distribute our materials without explicit written permission, except as allowed by these Terms.

• Your use of our Services is governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your data.
• Your personal information is handled in compliance with applicable US federal and state privacy laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). We do not sell your personal information.
• We use Stripe (PCI-DSS compliant) to process all payments. We never store your credit card details on our servers.
• We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and analyze usage. Where required by state law (such as in California), we provide mechanisms to manage cookie preferences and opt out of non-essential tracking.
• You may file a privacy complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ftc.gov or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP. California residents may also contact the California Attorney General's Office at oag.ca.gov.

• Services are provided "as-is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
• We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Services.
• Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or the Services is limited to the amount you have paid us in USD in the 12 months preceding the claim.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming.
