Tinytale pilot terms
Version 2026-11-07
These terms are between you and [Legal entity name], operating as Tinytale ("we," "us"). Before that legal name is filled in, the person who sent your invite is the seller. This pilot is invitation-only. Each invite is for one book, for an adult to order, for a child.
Price and preview fee
See every page before you pay for the printed book.
You check the facts, then you choose from the stories matched to the interests you entered. You pay the $5 preview fee after that choice. We then make the watermarked preview.
Your invite names one test price. That price does not go up after you pay the $5. You pay the price written in your invite.
Invite price $44.99
To start, there's a $5 preview fee. It covers making your full watermarked preview, and the whole $5 comes off the book price when you order. If you decide not to order, the preview fee isn't refunded. Your printed hardcover is $44.99 plus shipping, so after the $5 credit you'll pay $39.99 plus shipping at checkout.
Invite price $49.99
To start, there's a $5 preview fee. It covers making your full watermarked preview, and the whole $5 comes off the book price when you order. If you decide not to order, the preview fee isn't refunded. Your printed hardcover is $49.99 plus shipping, so after the $5 credit you'll pay $44.99 plus shipping at checkout.
This pilot uses both test prices. The $5 credit applies to the book price. It does not apply to shipping. Shipping is shown separately before you pay it. Applicable tax is added on the payment page when the payment processor charges it.
The $5 is waived only when your invite says it is waived. In that case you pay the invite price plus shipping at checkout, and there is no credit to apply.
We aim to send the preview on the day you pay the $5, or the next morning. That is an aim, not a guaranteed time. If we never send a preview, we refund the $5. If you order the book and we later refund the book under the guarantee, the refund includes the $5 you paid, because it became part of the book price.
You pay on a hosted payment link. We do not take your card number in the pilot app. We print only after the book payment is confirmed.
The book
The book is a 32-page hardcover, 8.5 × 8.5 inches, in English. The story and the art are AI-generated. The story is matched to your child from a library of stories, using the interests and pronouns you choose. The AI disclosure explains that in full.
An adult fills in the form. We ask for the child's first name, age, pronouns, interests, and appearance options. You may also add up to two siblings (first name and age) and one pet (name and kind of animal). There is no photo upload.
You get two rounds of edits, or six page edits, whichever limit you reach first. A round is one batch of comments we apply together. Corrections to facts you already gave us (spelling of a name, age, pronouns, appearance options, and sibling or pet details that appear in the book) are free and do not use those limits. We keep names as you typed them, including accents and unusual spellings. Changing to a different story after the pictures are made is outside this pilot. We aim to return each edit round within 24 hours. That aim is not a deadline we guarantee.
Approval
When you approve, you lock that exact version. Preview watermarks will not appear in your printed book. We print the locked version. We do not generate a new version after you approve, unless you later choose a corrected replacement under the guarantee. If you approve and do not pay for the book, we do not print, and the $5 preview fee isn't refunded.
Approving is not a waiver of the guarantee.
Approving the book
Approving locks this exact version for printing. Preview watermarks will not appear in your printed book. You will then get a payment link for the price in your invite, minus the $5, plus shipping. The 30-day guarantee still applies after delivery. Approving is not a waiver of that guarantee.
The approve button says: Approve this version
Shipping and delivery
This is a pilot. Delivery before Christmas is aimed for, but not guaranteed. We do not promise a delivery date.
The full sentences, and the Thursday, December 3, 2026 cutoff for the Christmas aim, are in delivery wording. Ordering by that day does not mean the book will arrive before Christmas. The aim covers the contiguous United States. We still ship to other U.S. addresses when the printer can. Those orders are outside the Christmas aim.
An outside printer prints the book and ships it to the address you give us, in plain packaging. For this pilot we expect to print with Cloudprinter. If we use a different printer, we will say so in the message that confirms the order. Faster shipping, when we offer it, costs more, and the amount is shown before you pay. Faster shipping does not promise a delivery date.
If we cannot ship within 30 days after you pay for the printed book, we will write to you and offer you a choice to wait or to receive a full refund of what you paid for the book, including the $5 preview fee and any shipping you already paid.
Colors on a screen and in print can differ. That is normal. The guarantee still applies if you are not delighted.
Guarantee, privacy, and AI
The guarantee, the privacy and deletion notice, and the AI disclosure are part of these terms.
Some requests cannot be made into a book in this pilot, including sexual content, hate, graphic violence, unsafe behavior, and another company's characters. If we cannot send a preview for that reason, we refund the $5.
Contact
Tinytale [Legal entity name] [Support email] [Mailing address]
The mailing address is where you can write to us. It is not a bookstore, and it may not be staffed for visits. We aim to reply within one day during the pilot.
Changes
If we change these terms later, the version you accepted on the intake form (2026-11-07, unless we show you a newer version and you accept it) covers your order. These terms add to any rights you have under the law. They do not limit those rights.
