đź§µ Storyd Terms of Use
Last updated: April 2025
Hi there! We're so glad you're here. Before we create something amazing together, here's what you need to know about using Storyd.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, mobile applications, products, offerings, access to our platform, proprietary AI design tool, and any other related services (collectively, the "Services").
Important Note: Section 12 of the Terms contains a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver for users in North and South America. By agreeing to the Terms, you and Storyd both agree to submit any disputes between us exclusively to individual arbitration.
1. What You're Agreeing To
By using Storyd—whether you're browsing, creating designs, or ordering amazing products—you're agreeing to these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree to our Terms and our Privacy Policy, please don't use our Services.
2. What Storyd Does
Storyd lets you turn your inspiration into custom designs using our AI tool. Those designs get printed on real clothes and accessories (like leggings, sports bras, or cozy hoodies) and made just for you—no inventory, no waste. You can also shop the Storyd collection and can shop collections from other Storyd partners and creators in our community.
3. Who Owns What
Designs: When you create a design using our AI, it's technically owned by Storyd and it's not owned by you. Any Intellectual Property rights in that design are also owned by Storyd. Products: Anything made with those designs belongs to Storyd until it's in your hands. You're buying the end product—not the rights to reproduce the design.
4. How You Can Use Storyd and How you Can't
Yes, please create and explore to your heart's content. But you can't Break the law, violate any regulations, violate anyone else's intellectual property rights or mess with the platform in any way. Hack, copy or reverse engineer our tech or attempt to obtain the source code of the Services (including both our intellectual property and User Data) Use bots, scapers, machine learning or any automated tools to access or collect data from our Services or for any other purpose. Interfere with or try to disrupt the Services Do anything else illegal, shady, or harmful to the platform or others
5. Accounts
To use some of our Services, you will need to create an account. You must be 13 years or older to use our Services. If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you may use our Services only with the appropriate permission and under their direct supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is the owner of the account. All financial information on the account, such as a credit card, must be that of the parent or legal guardian. If you are under 13, you can't use our Service. If you do create an account, you agree that you will use a real email, provide accurate and complete information, and that information will belong to you. You can't use false information or impersonate someone else or a company through your account. Any information, including the name you choose for your account, any descriptive labeling or otherwise, that you provide to us should not include language that is offensive or vulgar, infringes someone's intellectual property rights, shares or publicizes personal information or private details without consent, is designed to mislead or confuse, is hateful, harassing or violent, or otherwise violates the Terms.
6. Using Storyd to Create Designs (the "Patterns")
When you use Storyd, you're working with some smart technology. Here's how it all works when it comes to the designs you create using our platform:
A. What You Can Do with Your Storyd Designs When you use our platform to create a design (we call these "Patterns"), you can use them to make products through Storyd. These Patterns are generated with the help of our AI, and we don't make any promises about them being fully original or free from copyright issues. (That said—we've built our system to reduce that risk as much as possible.)
B. Sharing Your Patterns You're welcome to share your Patterns within the Storyd platform, and even off-platform (like on your social media or website). Just make sure that wherever you share them, you're respecting the rules of that site and when you share them on other sites that you're telling people where you made them. We're not responsible for how third parties treat your designs, but we won't stop you from posting your work.
C. Transparency Around AI Our AI plays a big role in helping you create your designs. So, when you share or promote your Patterns, please don't try to pass them off as entirely human-made. Also, don't include anything misleading, illegal, or medically sensitive in your prompts or final designs. We want this to be a space that promotes creativity—not misinformation.
D. Let's Keep It Respectful Please don't use Storyd to create anything hateful, threatening, violent, vulgar, or that might infringe on someone else's intellectual property. If you do, we may have to suspend or end your access to the platform. Keep it inspiring, inclusive, and original.
F. You Can't Make Storyd Patterns Elsewhere Whether you created the design or saw it on someone else's profile, you agree not to try to reproduce any Storyd Creation outside of Storyd. These Creations and Physical products can only be made through our platform and our approved makers—unless we've given you written permission.
7. Orders, Payment, and Delivery
Creating & Ordering: When you place an order, you're agreeing to the specifications and details provided through our platform and confirming everything looks good (size, design, etc). Manufacturing: Everything is made on demand, just for you. We'll always aim for speed, but occasional delays might happen. Payment: You'll pay through our secure system. Use a payment method you're authorized to use. Cancellations: We reserve the right to cancel an order (e.g., if something violates our terms, policies or looks fraudulent).
8. All the Intellectual Property Stuff
All the tech, branding, and content on the site belong to Storyd, with the exception of any intellectual property you may have uploaded to Storyd to create branded pieces through our partnership program. Storyd's ownership includes all AI-generated designs and tools—please don't use them outside of Storyd without permission.
9. Your Privacy Matters
We take your privacy seriously. Check out our Privacy Policy to see how we handle your data. Short version: we collect what we need to make the platform work well and keep your experience seamless.
10. No Guarantees (But We're Doing our Best) - Disclaimers, Warranties and Limitation of Liability
We'll do our best to make everything as great as possible, but we can't promise perfection. You use Storyd "as is," which means there's no warranty if things don't work exactly as expected. The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, as well as any warranties implied by a course of performance, course of dealing or usage of trade or non-infringement. Storyd does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or available at any particular time or location, error-free, or completely secure. Storyd does not warrant that any defects or errors will be corrected, that the services will be free of viruses or other harmful materials, or the results of using the services will meet your expectations. Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. Some jurisdictions may not allow limits on implied warranties, so such limits may not apply to you. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER STORYD (INCLUDING ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, PARTNERS, OR AFFILIATES) SHALL BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS. IN NO EVENT SHALL STORYD'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (I) $100; (II) THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THE ITEM GIVING RISE TO THE SUBJECT OF THE DISPUTE (INCLUDING ANY APPLICABLE SALES TAX) AND ITS ORIGINAL SHIPPING COSTS; SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
11. Indemnification - The You've Got Our Back (And Vice Versa) Clause
If a claim or legal demand arises because of something you did—or didn't do—when using our Services, you agree to help protect and support us. This means you'll cover any losses, expenses, or legal fees that come up as a result of your actions, your use or misuse of our Services, or any breach of these Terms. We reserve the right to direct our own legal defense, and in doing so, we ask that you cooperate with us as we handle the situation.
12. Disputes & Arbitration (U.S. Users)
Claims Covered: You agree that if we ever get into a legal disagreement, we'll handle it through individual arbitration, not in court. This arbitration agreement with you is broad and designed to cover all types of disputes that might come up—whether related to these Terms, our services, our interactions, or even the overall relationship between you and Storyd (which includes issues around the validity and scope of this agreement). Essentially, it means that, with very few exceptions (such as matters that qualify for small claims court), any disagreements or claims you have will be handled through binding arbitration, following the limitations outlined later in Sections C and D. Here's how it works: We understand that disagreements can happen, and we want to resolve them quickly and without unnecessary expense for everyone involved. That's why, before starting arbitration, we agree to work together informally for at least 45 days after one of us sends a written "Notice of Dispute." Starting the Conversation: When you have an issue, send us a Notice of Dispute that includes: Your full name and contact details A clear description of the issue and its basis What you hope to achieve or what resolution you're seeking We'll send our notice to you via your billing or email address, or both. Please send your written Notice of Dispute to: Attn: Legal, Storyd, Inc., 5-5226 Kuhio Hwy, #1203, Hanalei, Hawaii Keeping It Confidential: Any settlement offers exchanged during this 45-day period will remain confidential and won't be shared with the arbitrator if the issue moves to arbitration. A Little Courtesy Goes a Long Way: We both agree that if one of us jumps straight into arbitration without trying to resolve things informally as outlined here, the arbitration proceedings may be immediately stopped at the request of either party. If We Can't Resolve it Informally…We'll Have to Turn to Arbitation If we can't work out the issue together after our informal discussions, either you or we may choose to resolve it through confidential and binding arbitration. When one of us opts for arbitration, that decision is final, meaning we both agree to let an independent arbitrator make the final call. We both agree that this Terms of Use involves interstate commerce, so our arbitration will follow the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal law (not state law), and will be conducted in English. Subject to certain limitations noted in Section D below, the arbitrator can grant any type of legal relief similar to what a court might offer—except for injunctive, equitable, or declaratory relief. If either party needs injunctive relief, that request must be handled in court instead. A Few More Details: Administration & Costs: Our arbitration will be managed by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. If the arbitrator finds that fees are too high—or if you provide proof that you can't afford the AAA's administrative fees—we'll cover those costs for you. Small Claims & Written Submissions: If your claim is $25,000 or less, we'll generally handle the process based on written submissions only, unless an in-person hearing is specifically requested. Proceedings & Decisions: Both parties can bring any motions during the process. Once the arbitrator makes a decision, it will be provided in writing along with their findings and reasons. The arbitrator is required to follow applicable laws, and you (or we) may have the option to challenge any award if legal guidelines aren't followed. Court Jurisdiction: In certain situations—like to compel arbitration, or confirm or modify an award—you or we may need to go to court. For those purposes, both parties agree to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and California state courts in San Francisco County. For more details or to view the arbitration rules and forms, please visit AAA's website or call 1-800-778-7879.
13. Leaving Storyd
You can close your account any time. We might also suspend or end your access if you break the rules or for any reason we see necessary.
14. Updates to These Terms
We may tweak these terms from time to time. If it's a big change, we'll let you know. If you keep using Storyd, you are accepting any new version that we're offering.
15. Legal Odds & Ends
If one part of these terms doesn't hold up legally, the rest still stands. We can assign our rights to another company if needed. These terms are the whole agreement between you and Storyd.
