Wonderleaf — Terms of Service
DRAFT v0 — 2026-05-08. NOT YET REVIEWED BY COUNSEL. This document
must be reviewed and edited by a qualified attorney (recommended:
SaaS-focused IP/consumer practice, ~$500–1500 retainer) before being
linked from a public site or relied on for any legal purpose. The
drafting captures the substantive positions Wonderleaf wants to take;
the attorney will tighten enforceability, jurisdiction-specific
wording, and the AI-output indemnity language.

By creating an account or using Wonderleaf, you agree to these Terms.
1. What Wonderleaf is
Wonderleaf is a software service that generates short illustrated
educational picture books in response to user-submitted questions. Books
are created by passing user questions through a multi-stage pipeline that
includes large language models (for prose) and a third-party image
generation model (Google Vertex AI's Gemini Image Generation models).
Wonderleaf is provided "as a service." We do not promise that any
particular question will produce a particular book, that the same
question will produce the same book twice, or that any specific
generated content will be available in the future.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. A parent or
guardian may allow a younger child to use the service only under the
adult's account and supervision. The service is intended for general
consumer use by adults and family contexts; it is not directed at
children under 13 in a manner that would trigger COPPA, but parents
are responsible for any use by children under their account. [NEEDS COUNSEL]
You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials (Google
account, magic-link email, session cookies) secure.
2a. The nature of the content (read this before sharing with children)
Wonderleaf retells history, biography, and literature. Some of those
sources contain language, themes, or imagery that are authentic to
the source but may not be suitable for every audience. Specifically,
generated books may include:
- Period-correct strong language when present in the source. A
book about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn may contain Huck's
famous line involving the word "hell"; a book about Lincoln may
quote a period-correct phrase that today reads as harsh. We
preserve such language when it is part of the source's moral or
historical weight. - Mature historical themes: war, slavery, prejudice, illness,
poverty, mortality, religious belief and conflict, moral
compromise. These are the substance of history; we do not avoid
them. - Difficult moral content in classic literature: death of family
members, ethical dilemmas, characters making compromised choices,
loss. - Generic categorical depictions of objects, people, and
creatures — never brand wordmarks, logos, or trademarked
characters in images, but the prose may name them factually.
Wonderleaf is for ages 13 and up by default. If you intend to
allow a younger child supervised access under your account, you do
so at your own discretion and remain solely responsible for the
content the child encounters. We provide a Parental Controls option
in account settings that, when enabled, instructs the prose
generator to soften period-correct strong language and graphic
historical detail while preserving the moral weight of the source.
Parental Controls is a soft setting and a best-effort safeguard, not
a guarantee — generation is probabilistic, and individual books may
still surface content a parent finds inappropriate. You are
responsible for previewing books before sharing them with children.
By creating an account or providing access to a minor under your
supervision, you acknowledge that you have read this section and
accept the content nature described above.
3. The content you generate (the load-bearing clause)
When you submit a question, the AI pipeline produces text and images on
your request. You acknowledge:
a. You direct the generation. The specific question you submit is
the input that determines what the system attempts to produce. If
your question explicitly requests copyrighted characters, real
people's likenesses, branded products in identifying detail, or
other restricted content, the system may refuse, may produce a
genericized result, or may (in rare cases) produce content that
resembles third-party intellectual property.
b. You own a non-exclusive license to use the books you generate.
Wonderleaf grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable
license to display, share, and store the books generated under your
account, for personal and non-commercial use.
c. AI outputs are not warranted to be original or non-infringing.
AI image-generation models are trained on broad corpora and may
produce outputs that resemble copyrighted material or registered
trademarks. Wonderleaf operates a multi-layer brand-IP detection and
auto-healing pipeline (text scrubber, vision QC, learned-rule
substitution, escalation log) intended to substantially reduce the
incidence of such outputs, but cannot guarantee any specific output
is free of third-party IP.
d. You will not intentionally produce or commercialize infringing
content. You agree not to: (i) submit prompts crafted to elicit
reproductions of named copyrighted characters or trademarked
products; (ii) commercially redistribute generated books at scale
(printing them on merchandise for sale, publishing on a paid
platform, etc.) without separately securing rights from any
recognizable third-party IP appearing in them; (iii) attempt to
reverse-engineer the model, extract training data, or use the
service to create derivative AI training datasets.
e. Indemnification by you for misuse. If you submit prompts
intentionally designed to produce infringing content (per (d)) and
a third-party rights-holder pursues a claim arising from your use,
you will indemnify Wonderleaf for legal fees and damages arising
from that specific use.
4. Subscriptions, billing, refunds
Wonderleaf currently provides the Free tier (10 ✦/month). Paid Hobby,
Pro, Studio, and gift-pack billing are not live while Stripe banking setup
is pending. Planned allowances are Hobby 75 ✦, Pro 225 ✦, and Studio
500 ✦; 5 ✦ = one picture book and 1 ✦ = one prose-only book.
[NEEDS COUNSEL]
Paid-plan pricing and billing terms will be announced before paid billing
goes live. Planned billing terms are:
- Monthly plans renew automatically unless cancelled.
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- We do not offer prorated refunds for partial months.
- One-time gift packs of Wonders are non-refundable once redeemed; if a
gift is unredeemed and the recipient does not exist as a user within
30 days, the purchaser may request a refund within that window. [NEEDS COUNSEL]
After paid billing goes live, failed payments after retry attempts (per
Stripe defaults) result in plan downgrade to Free (10 ✦). Books generated
during the paid period remain in your library indefinitely, subject to
Section 6. [NEEDS COUNSEL]
5. Acceptable use
You will not:
- Use the service to harass, defame, threaten, or harm another person
- Submit prompts depicting sexual content involving minors or any
illegal content
- Submit prompts targeting living non-public-figure individuals (e.g.,
generating books "about" your neighbor without their consent)
- Use automated tooling to bulk-generate books
- Attempt to evade the content moderation classifier or prompt-scrubber
- Use the service to develop a competing AI product
Violations may result in suspension and forfeiture of subscription
without refund.
6. Storage and removal
Generated books are stored in your account library indefinitely while
your account is active. We may, with reasonable notice, delete books
that violate Section 5 or that we are required to remove following a
DMCA takedown or trademark notice from a rights-holder. If we receive
a takedown notice that names a specific book in your library, we will
notify you, remove the book, and (where applicable) return the
associated Wonders to your account balance. [NEEDS COUNSEL]
If your account is inactive for 24 months, we may archive or delete
your library after written notice.
7. Account deletion
To request account deletion, email privacy@wonderleaf.app [VERIFY MAILBOX].
Deletion timing and retained records require counsel review. [VERIFY DATA

8. Disclaimers and warranty limitations
Wonderleaf is provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind, express
or implied, including but not limited to: merchantability, fitness for
a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted
service.
Educational accuracy. Wonderleaf is an entertainment-leaning
educational tool. We do not warrant the factual accuracy of any
generated content. Do not rely on Wonderleaf books as authoritative
sources for medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Wonderleaf's total liability
for any claim arising from your use of the service is limited to the
greater of (a) the amount you paid Wonderleaf in the 12 months
preceding the claim, or (b) USD $50.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special,
exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of
profits, data, business, or goodwill.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms with at least 30 days' notice via email
to your account address. Continued use after the effective date
constitutes acceptance.
11. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
Disputes will be resolved through binding individual arbitration under
the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except for
small-claims-court actions and intellectual-property injunction
actions. Class actions are waived. Attorney to confirm enforceability
in your launch jurisdiction.
