By accessing or using StoryBloc (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.
The Service is operated by Scarlet Thread LLC d/b/a StoryBloc, 30 North Gould Street, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States.
Enabling World remix permission or receiving a remix grant requires your explicit ordinary acceptance of this exact version of the Terms, recorded by StoryBloc. A previous acceptance timestamp, signing in or continued use alone does not establish that versioned acceptance.
StoryBloc is a creative platform that enables users to produce audiobooks, audio dramas, AI-generated characters, and immersive narrative worlds. The Service provides tools for writing, voice synthesis, audio production, and story publishing. Features may change or be updated at any time without prior notice.
Worlds & Adventures lets creators build Worlds and Adventures and lets players create their own playable Runs. Ordinary character conversations remain private to your account. A Run remains private until you explicitly choose to share it; playing, buying or generating a Run does not publish it.
To access most features of the Service, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. StoryBloc will not be liable for any losses caused by unauthorized use of your account.
You retain ownership of any content you create using the Service (“User Content”). By submitting User Content, you grant StoryBloc a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and distribute your content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. You are solely responsible for ensuring your content does not infringe on any third-party rights or violate any applicable laws.
A purchase or access to a story, World or Adventure does not by itself grant derivative rights. When a World owner enables remix permission under this version of the Terms, StoryBloc may record a grant for a specific derivative Adventure and its source version. That grant permits the derivative owner to create, publicly share, publish and monetize that derivative using the World material covered by the grant, only to the extent the World owner owns or controls those rights. You retain the rights you hold in your own contributions; a grant does not transfer ownership of the source work.
Disabling remix permission stops new grants, including grants for new descendants. A grant already recorded for an exact derivative remains valid for creating, sharing, publishing and selling that derivative after ordinary disablement. It cannot be reused for a different derivative or a new descendant. These rights remain subject to applicable law, rights restrictions, moderation and takedown.
A remix grant does not authorize access to or reproduction of private manuscripts, hidden World secrets, private conversations or another player's private Run. It does not grant rights in another player's contributions, voices, likenesses or other third-party material the World owner does not control. Source attribution recorded with the grant must be preserved when sharing, publishing or selling the derivative. These Terms do not require an upstream revenue split; any separate agreement you make remains your responsibility.
When you upload a recording, design a voice, or use a custom voice, you authorize StoryBloc and its voice technology providers, including Fish Audio, to process, transmit, host, and retain the recording, voice model, prompts, and related metadata as reasonably necessary to create, operate, secure, and improve the voice features, subject to the provider's applicable terms and privacy practices. You represent that you own the submitted material or have all permissions and consents required to use the voice, and that your use will not impersonate, deceive, exploit, or violate the rights of another person. StoryBloc may migrate a saved custom voice between supported providers to maintain or improve the Service. Deleting your account initiates deletion of StoryBloc's copy and, where the provider supports it, the associated private provider voice model, subject to legal and technical retention requirements.
You agree not to:
The Service and its original content (excluding User Content), features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of StoryBloc and its licensors. Our trademarks may not be used in connection with any product or service without prior written consent. All AI-generated assets produced using the Service are subject to the terms outlined in Section 4.
Generating AI audio, images, video and other paid features requires an active StoryBloc plan. Signing in, writing, editing and publishing your work do not.
Plans. A plan renews automatically each month or each year until you cancel it. You can change or cancel your plan at any time from the billing portal. A cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you can keep generating until then.
Included credits. Your plan adds its included credits every month, including on annual plans. Unused included credits roll over while you stay subscribed, up to three times your monthly allowance; credits above that limit are not carried over. Included credits end when your plan ends.
Top-ups. A top-up is a one-time purchase of credits for any whole dollar amount from $5 to $300. We use your included credits first, then credits you bought as top-ups. Top-up credits expire 12 months after purchase.
Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, we retry it and you can keep generating for a grace period of 7 days. If the payment has still not succeeded after that, paid generation pauses until it does. Your work stays available to you throughout.
Immediate delivery. Credits, plan allowances and other digital content you buy are delivered to your account as soon as your payment is confirmed.
All purchases are final. Plan payments, renewals and top-ups are non-refundable, in whole or in part. This includes unused credits, expired credits, partial billing periods and plans you cancel. Cancelling a plan stops future renewals; it does not refund payments already made.
Right of withdrawal. If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, consumer law normally gives you 14 days to withdraw from a contract for digital content. By completing a purchase, you request immediate delivery of the credits or digital content you buy, and you acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal for that purchase once it is delivered.
Chargebacks. If you dispute a payment for credits or digital content we have delivered, we will contest the dispute with your bank or card issuer and give them evidence of the purchase and its delivery, including your acceptance of these Terms and your use of your account. While a dispute is open we may remove the credits that payment added and pause paid generation on your account. We may suspend or close accounts that dispute payments for delivered purchases. If the dispute is closed in our favour, we restore any credits we removed.
Nothing in this section removes a right that applicable consumer protection law gives you and that cannot be excluded by agreement.
Royalties. When listeners buy your work on StoryBloc, you earn 60% of net receipts on whole-book purchases (paid with money or with coins), and 50% of net receipts on individual episodes and on Adventure sales.
Net receipts. Net receipts are what the listener paid, less refunds, taxes, and payment-processing and app-store fees. When a listener pays with coins, the net receipts are the part of their coin purchase that those coins represent, and never more than the price of what they unlocked.
Refunds and changes. If a sale is refunded or reversed, its royalty is reversed too. Each sale keeps the royalty rate in effect when it happened.
The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. StoryBloc does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Your use of the Service is at your sole risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, StoryBloc and its affiliates, officers, employees, and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of significant changes by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notifying you by email. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at support@storybloc.io.
