Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026 · Plain-English version

1 · By using Fablely, you agree to these terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of fablely-app.vercel.app (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you've read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or record a voice clone. If you're recording the voice of someone else (e.g., a partner, grandparent), they must consent and be 18+.

2 · Your account

Anonymous use is allowed and supported — you don't have to sign up to generate names or share a shortlist with your partner. If you do create an account:

• You're responsible for your password and keeping it secret
• You're responsible for everything done from your account
• One account per person (unless you're explicitly invited as a partner-collaborator)
• If you suspect your account is compromised, email hello@fablely.ai and we'll lock it within 24 hours

3 · What you can do

You can use Fablely to:

• Generate up to 50 baby name shortlists per month (free tier) or unlimited on paid plans
• Share shortlists with your partner via the /decide link
• Record your own voice (or a consenting adult's voice) and use it to create stories for your own family
• Schedule time-locked Vault messages for future delivery
• Download all your generated content and use it freely for personal, non-commercial family purposes

4 · What you can NOT do

You may not, and you must not let anyone else:

• Impersonate someone — record/upload a voice you don't have consent to clone. We will permanently ban accounts caught doing this.
• Create content involving real children's voices — only adults (18+) can be voice-cloned on this platform.
• Generate harmful content — sexual, violent, hateful, or otherwise offensive material. Our content safety filter blocks most of this automatically; account termination for the rest.
• Reverse-engineer or scrape — no automated scraping, bulk generation via scripts, or attempts to extract our prompts or system architecture.
• Resell or sublicense — Fablely is for your family use, not for reselling AI-generated content commercially. (Personal blog post mentioning your Fablely-generated name? Absolutely fine. White-labeling our API to your customers? Nope.)
• Distribute generated voice content publicly without disclosure — if you post a Fablely-generated voice clip publicly (social media, podcast, etc.), disclose that it's AI-synthesized.
• Abuse rate limits — our APIs are rate-limited. Don't try to bypass them via multiple IPs, bot networks, etc.
• Use Fablely if you're a minor — see Section 1.

5 · Content ownership

You own what you create

Names, stories, voice clones, and Vault messages you generate are your intellectual property. You can download, print, share, and use them however you like for your family.

We don't own your stuff

Fablely doesn't claim any ownership over your generated content. The only license you give us is permission to store and process it so we can deliver the service to you. This license terminates when you delete the content or close your account.

About AI-generated content specifically

US copyright law currently holds that purely AI-generated works can't be copyrighted by the AI system. Your specific PROMPT + creative direction + selection of which outputs to use IS a copyrightable creative contribution. In practice, this means you can use your Fablely content freely for family purposes; copyright registration of AI-only output for commercial use has open legal questions you should research.

6 · Paid plans + billing (when available)

Paid plans are currently in early-access waitlist mode. When they launch:

• Billing is monthly, charged via Stripe. You see the total before paying.
• 30-day money-back guarantee — first month, full refund, no questions asked.
• Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No prorated refunds for partial months (except the 30-day guarantee window).
• Failed payments: we retry 3 times, send you a notice, and pause your paid features after 7 days if still unpaid. Your data is preserved for 90 days.
• Price changes: we'll email you 30 days before any price increase. Early-access "50% off for life" pricing is honored as long as your subscription is continuous.

7 · Voice biometric content (extra rules)

Voice clones are biometric data and have stricter legal protections. We have a separate Voice & Biometric Privacy Notice that's incorporated into these Terms by reference. Key points:

• You must explicitly consent BEFORE recording (a checkbox on the recording page).
• Voice is processed by ElevenLabs, our third-party provider.
• You can delete your voice clone any time — takes effect within 7 days.
• If you live in Illinois, Texas, or Washington, additional state-specific protections apply (BIPA, CUBI, HB 1493).

8 · We can suspend or terminate accounts

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that:

• Violates Section 4 (the "what you can NOT do" list)
• Repeatedly fails our content safety checks
• Is reported by another user for abuse, with credible evidence
• Charges back a payment without contacting us first
• Is dormant for 24+ months (we'll email you twice before deactivating)

Terminated accounts get a 30-day data export window before permanent deletion. We don't refund the unused portion of a paid month when account is terminated for abuse.

9 · Service availability

Fablely is provided "as is." We aim for high availability, but we don't guarantee 100% uptime. We may have planned maintenance windows; we'll announce them in advance when practical.

Our service depends on third parties (Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Supabase, Vercel). If they have outages, we have outages. We work to minimize impact but can't fully eliminate it.

10 · Disclaimers + limits of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FABLELY IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. We don't warrant that:

• The service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times
• AI-generated names or stories will be unique, accurate, free of cultural errors, or suitable for any specific purpose
• Generated voice clones will perfectly reproduce your voice or be free of artifacts
• The service will meet your specific requirements or expectations

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FABLELY'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) $100 USD, OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits. In those places, the limit applies to the maximum extent permitted by local law.

11 · Indemnification

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your use of Fablely in violation of these Terms — for example, if you record someone's voice without consent and they sue us, you're responsible for our legal costs.

12 · Governing law + disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [State to be specified at launch]. Disputes go to small-claims court first when eligible. For larger disputes, we encourage mediation before any formal lawsuit.

Class actions are waived to the maximum extent allowed by law. Most disputes can be resolved by email — please reach out to hello@fablely.ai before filing anything.

13 · Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms over time. Material changes get 14 days' email notice + a homepage banner. Your continued use after the effective date means you accept the changes. If you don't agree, stop using the Service and email us to delete your data.
