Legal

Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 23 September 2026

Effective date: 23 September 2026 · Version 1.2

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of Vladi's Library — the mobile applications for iOS and Android, the website vladislibrary.com, and the related services (together, the "Service"). Please read them carefully. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

In short: Vladi's Library is a bedtime-story service that you, a parent or legal guardian, operate for your child. You must be an adult to have an account. Subscriptions are bought and refunded through the Apple App Store or Google Play, not through us. Personal Stories are private by default: you may share one with another authenticated user, or separately submit one for editorial consideration under an explicit Contribution Licence. Nothing in these Terms takes away rights that consumer law gives you.

1. Who we are

The Service is operated by Codera Labs S.R.L., a limited liability company incorporated in Romania (the "Operator", "we", "us"):

Registered office: Aleea Biruinței nr. 7, Et. P, Ap. 30, Sibiu, Sibiu County, Romania
Trade Registry number: J2026003376003
Fiscal identification code (CUI): 53345450
Share capital: 200 RON
E-mail: contact@codera.ro

Definitions. "Account" — the account a parent or guardian creates; "Child Profile" — a profile the account holder creates for a child in their care; "Story" — any story available in the Service; "AI Story" — a story generated at your request by artificial-intelligence models; "Personal Story" — a story you wrote yourself or an AI Story you accepted, both private to your Account; "Subscription" — the paid Premium plan; "Store" — the Apple App Store or Google Play.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity to create an Account. The Service is designed for children aged 2–8 to listen to, under the supervision and responsibility of a parent or legal guardian — but children cannot create accounts and are not parties to this contract.
When you create a Child Profile you confirm that you are that child's parent or legal guardian.
You are responsible for activity on your Account, including use of your signed-in device by your child. Keep your sign-in method (e-mail one-time codes, or your Apple/Google account) secure and do not share your Account.
We may suspend or close an Account that we reasonably believe is held by a minor; any unused prepaid subscription period will be refunded through the Store.
How we handle personal data — yours and the information you enter about your child — is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of your relationship with us.

3. The Service

Free tier. Every Account can listen without limit to the stories marked as free, and receives one AI credit per month, which can be used for one short AI Story or one narration of a Personal Story. These Terms apply to free Accounts too — the free tier is a contract like any other.
Premium subscription. Premium unlocks the full story library, offline downloads, longer AI Stories, and a monthly allowance of AI generations (currently 20 per month). The current scope and prices of Premium are always shown in the app before you subscribe.
Conformity and updates. We will provide the Service in conformity with what these Terms and the app description promise, and we will supply the updates needed to keep the Service in conformity, as required by law (Government Emergency Ordinance no. 141/2021, implementing Directive (EU) 2019/770). If the Service is not in conformity, you are entitled to the statutory remedies: bringing the Service into conformity, a proportionate price reduction, or termination of the contract.
The catalogue of stories, narrator voices, languages and features evolves over time; Section 12 explains how and when we may make changes.

4. Subscriptions, trials, billing and refunds

Subscriptions are purchased exclusively through the Apple App Store or Google Play, under the Store's own purchase terms. The Store — not us — processes your payment. We never receive or store your card or payment details.
Current prices: €4.99 per month or €49.99 per year (which corresponds to about two months free), including VAT. The exact price is always shown by the Store before you confirm the purchase. New subscriptions may include a 7-day free trial; the trial converts into a paid subscription unless you cancel before it ends.
Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel through your Store subscription settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Premium until the end of the period already paid.
How to cancel: on iOS — Settings → your name → Subscriptions; on Android — Google Play → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Price changes are notified in advance through the Store's own mechanisms, and you can always cancel before a new price takes effect.
Refunds and the right of withdrawal. Because the Store is the merchant for in-app purchases, refund requests — including requests based on the 14-day withdrawal right for consumers — are handled by the Store: for Apple purchases at reportaproblem.apple.com, for Google Play purchases through the Play refund process. We do not receive your payment and cannot ourselves reverse a Store transaction. Nothing in these Terms limits or replaces your statutory consumer rights, including the right of withdrawal and the conformity remedies described in Section 3.

5. AI-generated stories

At your request, the Service generates personalized stories using third-party artificial-intelligence models (currently text models from Anthropic and OpenAI, and voice synthesis from ElevenLabs). Stories in the curated library are chosen and published by our editorial team; AI Stories generated privately for your Account are delivered to you directly, and no person reads them before you do.
AI content is automatically generated. Although we design the generation for warmth and age-appropriateness, an AI Story may contain imperfections, oddities or inaccuracies. You choose whether to accept, edit, regenerate or discard a generated story before reading it to your child. This describes the nature of the feature; it does not limit your statutory conformity rights.
Safety screening. Every generation request passes an automated safety gate. Requests that appear to seek content harmful or inappropriate for children are refused; a refusal is explained to you and never costs a credit. Repeated attempts to circumvent the safety gate are a breach of Section 9.
Your rights in AI Stories. As between you and us, to the extent we hold any rights in an AI Story generated for your Account, we assign them to you, or where assignment is not possible we grant you a perpetual, worldwide, free licence to use the story for personal and family purposes. Because AI systems can produce similar output for similar requests, we cannot promise that a story is unique, and purely machine-generated text may not attract copyright at all — so we do not promise that you "own the copyright"; we promise you may freely keep and use your stories.
Our licence from you. You grant us the non-exclusive licence needed to operate the feature: to transmit your generation inputs to the AI providers, and to host, store, reproduce, narrate, translate and back up the resulting story for delivery to your Account.
Do not remove or alter any machine-readable provenance marking embedded in AI-generated content.
Unused monthly AI credits do not roll over. Credits have no monetary value and cannot be transferred or refunded (this does not affect your Store refund rights for the Subscription itself).

6. Your own stories

You may write your own stories in the app and have them narrated. Personal Stories — written or AI-generated — are private by default and are not published in the shared library unless you separately submit one under Section 7.
Sharing with another user. You may create a recipient-bound link for a Personal Story or a library Story. The link reveals no Personal Story text or audio before the recipient signs in. One authenticated Account may claim it; you may revoke access at any time. A recipient may listen while access remains active, but may not edit, download or re-share another family's Personal Story. Library Stories continue to follow their ordinary free or Premium access rules.
Sharing is delivery to a person you choose, not publication and not editorial submission. It never grants us publication rights and never accepts the Contribution Licence in Section 7.
For Personal Stories you grant us only the narrow licence needed to provide the feature: hosting, storage, reproduction, processing for voice narration and cover illustration, backup, and delivery to your Account and to a recipient you explicitly authorize.
You are responsible for the content of stories you write and share. Stories are for personal family use; the prohibition in Section 9 on content harmful to children applies to written and shared stories as well.
Narrating a Personal Story you wrote yourself uses one AI credit (the first narration of each such story); re-trying a failed narration is free.

7. Community contributions

Separate opt-in. You may choose Submit to Vladi's Library for a Personal Story. Before submission, we show a separate Contribution Licence with its own version and terms. Sharing or listening never counts as accepting that licence.
Editorial access. Authorized administrators protected by two-factor authentication may inspect Personal Stories in a restricted, audited area for support and curation. Access does not itself create publication rights.
Before promotion. Before a submitted story becomes an editorial copy, the administrator must remove or replace real names and identifying family details and confirm that remaining names are fictional. We are not required to accept or publish a submission.
Withdrawal. You may withdraw a submission at any time before an editorial copy is created. Withdrawal before that point ends the publication permission for future use of that submission.
Independent anonymous copy. If accepted, we create a separate editorial Draft. Your private original and its existing shares are not changed. The editorial copy does not identify or publicly credit the parent, child or Account and may be edited, translated, narrated and illustrated independently.
After promotion. Once the editorial copy exists, changing or deleting the private original, attempting to withdraw the submission, or deleting the Account does not automatically remove or alter that copy. The accepted Contribution Licence continues for it. You may contact hello@vladislibrary.com to request a correction or removal; applicable legal rights remain unaffected.
Limited evidence retention. After deletion we may retain the accepted licence version and hash, consent time, promotion attribution, an anonymous content hash and the editorial-copy link as evidence of the permission granted, without retaining parent or child identity in that evidence.

8. Our intellectual property

The Service — including the curated story library, narrations, illustrations, the Vladi character, trademarks, software and design — belongs to us or our licensors.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app and its content for personal, non-commercial family use on devices you own or control, in accordance with the Store's usage rules.
You may not copy, distribute, publicly perform, resell or commercially exploit stories, narrations or illustrations from the Service, and you may not use them to train machine-learning systems.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

attempt to generate, write or upload content that is harmful or inappropriate for children, or attempt to bypass or probe the safety gate;
upload or submit content that is unlawful, infringing, hateful or defamatory, or that violates another person's rights;
impersonate another person or misrepresent your relationship to a child;
share, sell or transfer your Account, or use another person's Account;
scrape, bulk-download or systematically extract content from the Service;
interfere with the operation or security of the Service, or access it by any means other than the official apps and interfaces;
reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except to the extent such acts are permitted by mandatory law notwithstanding this clause;
use the Service to develop a competing product, or use Service content to train machine-learning models.

10. Content moderation and notices

We moderate content with a combination of automated tools (the AI safety gate described in Section 5) and our editorial team, which decides what is published in the shared library. Personal Stories are not proactively read merely because they are created or shared; restricted staff access occurs only as described in Section 7 and remains audited.
Reporting illegal content. If you believe content available through the Service is illegal or infringes your rights, write to contact@codera.ro with: (a) where the content appears (story title and location), (b) why you consider it illegal or infringing, (c) your name and contact details, and (d) a statement that your report is made in good faith. We act on such notices diligently and without undue delay, as required by Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (the Digital Services Act).
If we restrict, remove or refuse content, or restrict an Account, we will tell the affected user the reasons — including whether the ground was illegality or incompatibility with these Terms — except where the law requires otherwise. You can contest a decision by replying to the notice; we will reconsider it and answer.

11. Suspension and termination

By you: you may stop using the Service and delete your Account at any time, in the app (Profile → Delete account) or at vladislibrary.com/delete-account. Deletion is permanent. Deleting the Account does not by itself cancel a Store subscription — cancel it in the Store as described in Section 4.
By us, for breach: we apply measures gradually and proportionately — a warning, then suspension of a feature, then termination of the Account — reserving immediate termination for serious breaches (in particular attempts to create content harmful to children, unlawful content, or attacks on the security of the Service). Every measure comes with a statement of reasons and can be contested as described in Section 10.
Effect on payments: if we terminate your Account without a breach on your part, or discontinue the Service, you are entitled to a refund of the price paid for the part of the Subscription period not yet elapsed, processed through the Store. If we terminate for your serious breach, amounts already paid for the current period are not refunded, except where the law provides otherwise. Your statutory rights are unaffected in either case.

12. Changes to the Service and to these Terms

We may modify the Service beyond what is needed to maintain conformity only for valid reasons: security; compliance with legal or regulatory requirements; adaptation to new devices, operating systems or Store requirements; changes at the third-party providers we depend on (AI models, voice synthesis, app stores); or genuine improvement and evolution of features. Modifications are made at no additional cost to you.
If a modification negatively affects your access to or use of the Service in more than a minor way, we will notify you in advance by e-mail or in the app, and you may terminate the contract free of charge within 30 days of the notification, with a pro-rata refund of any prepaid period (through the Store).
Discontinuation. If we ever discontinue the Service, we will give at least 30 days' notice, refund unused prepaid subscription periods through the Store, and give you a window to retrieve your Personal Stories.
We may update these Terms for the same valid reasons. Significant changes will be announced in advance in the app or by e-mail; the new version applies from the date stated in the notice. If you do not agree with a significant change, you may terminate as described above.

13. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: (a) death or personal injury; (b) damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence; or (c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law — including your statutory rights regarding the conformity of digital content and digital services.
Subject to paragraph 1, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (i) the amounts you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability and (ii) €50.
Subject to paragraph 1, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for loss of data, caused by simple negligence — that is, where the damage was caused neither intentionally nor through gross negligence.
The Service depends on third parties (app stores, AI and voice providers, hosting). Where an interruption or defect is caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, our responsibility is governed by the statutory conformity rules described in Section 3 — which this Section does not reduce.

14. App Store and Google Play provisions

For the iOS app: these Terms are concluded between you and us only — not with Apple. Apple is not a party to these Terms and does not own and is not responsible for the Service. The licence granted to you is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (except that the app may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing). We — not Apple — are solely responsible for the app, its maintenance and support, any warranties (to the extent not disclaimed), and addressing any claims relating to the app, including product-liability claims, legal-compliance claims and intellectual-property claims. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple's sole warranty obligation will be to refund the purchase price of the app to you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

For the Android app: these Terms are concluded between you and us only — not with Google. Google is not responsible for the Service and has no obligations under these Terms. Your use of Google Play is governed by Google's own terms of service.

15. Governing law, jurisdiction and consumer protection

These Terms are governed by Romanian law. However, if you are a consumer residing in the European Union or the European Economic Area, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of residence, and nothing in this clause deprives you of that protection.
Disputes may be brought before the competent Romanian courts or before the courts of your habitual residence. As a consumer, you can only be sued in the courts of your habitual residence.
Complaints. Write to us first at contact@codera.ro — most issues are resolved directly. Consumers in Romania may also contact the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC — Autoritatea Națională pentru Protecția Consumatorilor, anpc.ro, consumer hotline 021 9551) and may use the alternative dispute resolution mechanism operated by the SAL Directorate within ANPC (anpc.ro/ce-este-sal). Consumers in other EU countries may address their national consumer authority or ADR body.

16. Miscellaneous

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision is severed and the remaining provisions continue in force.
Assignment. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to a successor of the business, provided the transfer does not reduce your rights. You may not transfer your Account.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the information presented in the app and the Store listing, form the agreement between us. This clause does not exclude liability for pre-contractual statements made fraudulently or negligently.
Languages. These Terms are published in several languages. The English and Romanian versions are maintained as the reference versions; in case of divergence the English version prevails, except where the law of your country of residence gives you the protection of the language version addressed to you.
