This document is a public offer under Article 437 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and sets out the terms for granting a non-exclusive license to use the Taleown website, software and features.
The Taleown Software is designed to automatically create personalized children’s books. The Software is available on the Website and in available official Taleown applications. The User enters information about the child, uploads a photo if needed and creates a book using the available features. The Website and official applications are different interfaces of the same Software; the available features may vary depending on the interface and the technical capabilities of the platform.
2. Use of the mobile application
This Offer also applies to available official Taleown mobile applications. The Application is a client interface for the same Software and uses the server-based book creation system.
The Licensee may install the official Application on their device and use it to create and read books, access the library and download files in available formats, where those features are available in the Application. This does not include the transfer of source code or private server components. Available features, Plans and prices are displayed in the Application interface; the terms of this Offer concerning the creation and delivery of the Book also apply to orders placed through the Application.
The available Application features determine the methods for signing in, restoring access, synchronizing the library and receiving notifications. Payment, if available, is made using the method indicated before the payment is confirmed. Notification delivery depends on permissions, the device and the relevant services; information about the Book can be checked in the available library or order interface.

Available Plans, page counts, preview scope, limits, prices and terms are displayed in the interface when creating a book or placing an order.
