Fable Designer

Terms of Service

Last updated July 7, 2026

These are the terms of the deal between you and Fable Designer. They are short on purpose. Using the service means you agree to them.

Who can use Fable Designer

You must be 18 or older to hold an account. Fable Designer is built for parents and guardians commissioning books on behalf of a child in their care — the account, the decisions, and the purchases are yours, as the adult. Children may enjoy the books; they don’t use the service.

Your account

You sign in with your email and a one-time code. Keep access to that inbox secure — it is the key to your account. You’re responsible for what happens under your account, and you agree to give us accurate information (chiefly: a real email address you control).

Acceptable use

Fable Designer makes children’s picture books. That is the whole product, and use of it is limited to that purpose:

Commissions must be appropriate material for a children’s book. Requests for sexual, violent, or hateful content, or stories that target real people other than your own family, will be declined before any book is made.
Every commission passes a moderation check before we spend anything making it, and every manuscript passes an independent editorial review before a child sees it. We disclose this openly: a machine wrote your book, and a second, unrelated machine judged it. If you edit the text yourself, the edited version is reviewed again before it is rendered or shared.
We may decline any commission, and we may suspend accounts that repeatedly push against these limits. We’ll always tell you when we decline, and a declined commission is never charged.
No scraping, reselling access, probing the review systems, or using the service to generate content for anything other than your own children’s books.

Your book is yours

When you commission a book, the finished book — its text and its illustrations — belongs to you for personal use: read it, print it, gift it, share it with family and friends. We don’t watermark your purchased pages or claim your child’s story as our content.

We keep only what we need to run the service: the right to store and process your book to display, render, narrate, print, and deliver it back to you, and the right to use fully anonymized, aggregate signals (like “how many pages get re-rolled”) to improve the product. Personal use doesn’t include commercial republication — if you want to sell a book we made together, write us first and we’ll figure it out.

Pricing, and a note about our test period

Fable Designer is young. During this introductory period, payments may run in test mode and prices are introductory — both can change as the product matures. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay; we will never charge you more than you explicitly approved, and we never spend your money on a step you haven’t approved.

Refunds and our quality promise

A book that fails our editorial review is never charged. If our independent reviewer rejects a manuscript twice, the book stops there, we tell you honestly, and you pay nothing for it.
Render failures are our problem, not yours. If an illustration comes out wrong, our quality check re-renders it automatically before you ever see it. If something still slips through or a job fails outright, we make it right — a re-render or a refund, your call.
Because each book is made to order, we can’t refund a completed book just for a change of heart — but the free preview exists precisely so you can see your character and cover before spending anything.

What we can’t promise

Plainly: the service is provided as-is. We work hard to make every book wonderful, but creative generation is not an exact science and we can’t guarantee any particular book will match the picture in your head, or that the service will be available every minute of every day. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability where the law says it can’t be limited.

Ending things

You can delete your account at any time, which immediately and permanently deletes your data as described in the Privacy Policy. We can suspend or close accounts that violate these terms; if we ever discontinue the service, we’ll give you notice and time to download your books.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we’ll update the date above and email accountholders before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new terms.
