Terms of service

The fine print, kept short.

The agreement between you and lil adventure when you use our service.

Last updated: May 2026

The short version: Only upload photos of your own child, or someone you're legally allowed to upload. We use third-party AI services to generate your book, and your uploads pass through them under their own terms. We delete your photos from our servers as soon as the book is generated; partners may hold them for up to 30 days before deleting. The finished book is yours to keep and enjoy for personal use.

1. Who's agreeing to what

These terms form a binding agreement between you ("you", "the customer") and lil adventure ("we", "us"). By placing an order, uploading content, or otherwise using our service, you agree to these terms.

You must be at least 18 years old to use lil adventure or place an order. By using the service, you confirm you are.

2. What we provide

Lil adventure creates personalized AI-illustrated storybooks based on the photos and details you provide. We deliver the finished book as a digital PDF file to the email address you give us.

3. Your representations about photos and content you upload

This is the most important part. By uploading a photo or any other content, you represent and warrant that:

  • You have the right to upload it. For photos of a child, you are the parent, the legal guardian, or you have explicit, documented permission from one. For any other person who appears in a photo, you have their consent (or, if they're a minor, their parent's or guardian's consent) to upload it for this purpose.
  • The content does not infringe anyone else's rights — copyright, image rights, privacy, publicity, or any other right.
  • The content is appropriate. No nudity, no graphic content, nothing intended to harm or harass anyone, nothing that would violate the law to create or share.
  • Information you provide is accurate. Names, ages, and any other details you supply.

You are solely responsible for the content you upload. If your upload causes a problem — for example, a complaint from someone who appears in a photo without their consent — that's on you, not us, and you agree to defend and indemnify us against any resulting claim (see section 11).

4. Content rights

Photos and details you upload

You keep all rights to the photos and information you upload. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to process them — and to pass them to the AI service providers we use — solely to generate your book. We do not use your uploads to train AI models for other customers, and our service providers are contractually prohibited from doing so.

The book we create

Once delivered, you may read the book, print it for your own family, gift it to the child it was made for, and keep it forever. The illustrations, written text, layout, and templates remain our intellectual property; you have a personal-use licence to enjoy the finished book.

You may not resell the book, redistribute it commercially, train other AI models on it, or use the contents for any commercial purpose without our written permission.

5. Our AI partners and how your data flows

We do not build the underlying AI models that write and illustrate your book ourselves. We use trusted third-party providers (which may include companies such as OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and image-generation specialists), and the providers we use may change over time as the technology evolves.

By using lil adventure, you understand and agree that:

  • The photos, names, and details you upload are sent to those AI partners so they can generate the illustrations and text in your book.
  • Each AI partner has its own terms of service and privacy policy. Where those terms apply to data you upload, you are deemed to accept them through your use of our service. We choose partners whose terms are appropriate for this use case and who contractually agree not to retain your data for training.
  • We can't guarantee any particular AI partner will always be available, and we may switch providers at any time without notice if it serves the service better.

6. How long photos are kept

We're as quick as we reasonably can be:

  • On our servers: photos are deleted as soon as the book is generated, typically within hours of upload.
  • At our AI partners: partners may temporarily retain uploaded content for up to 30 days for abuse detection, safety review, and operational logs. After that window they delete it — unless legally required to keep it longer (for example, to respond to a court order, investigate suspected fraud, or comply with child-safety law).
  • The finished book PDF: kept on our servers for 12 months so you can re-download it from your order link, then deleted.
  • Order records (your name, email, what you bought): kept as long as legally required (typically 6 years for tax and accounting purposes in the UK).

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Upload content you don't have the right to upload, or that depicts anyone whose consent you don't have.
  • Use the service to create content that is illegal, harmful, deceptive, or sexually explicit, or that depicts a real child in any inappropriate way.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, automate, or otherwise abuse the service.
  • Use the finished book for commercial purposes without written permission.

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if we believe you've breached this section, and we may report suspected illegal activity to the relevant authorities.

8. Pricing & payment

Prices are shown at checkout in your local currency where possible, inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Payment is taken at the time of order via our payment processor.

9. Delivery and revisions

Most books are ready within an hour, delivered by email. If yours hasn't arrived within 24 hours, email hello@liladventure.com and we'll sort it out.

Before final delivery you'll have the chance to request reasonable revisions — a misspelled name, a photo you'd like to swap, a tone adjustment. We accommodate every reasonable request.

10. Refunds

See our refund policy for full details.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless lil adventure, its directors, employees, and service providers from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) that arises out of:

  • Content you uploaded, including any breach of the representations in section 3;
  • Your breach of these terms;
  • Your misuse of the service or the finished book.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". AI-generated content can be unpredictable — the writing or illustrations may occasionally contain quirks, inaccuracies, or unexpected results. We do our best to ship books we're proud of, but we make no warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or will exactly match your expectations.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

13. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses — including lost profits, lost data, or emotional distress.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death, personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14. Service availability and changes

We do our best to keep the service running smoothly, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may take the service offline for maintenance, change features, or discontinue parts of the service.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms occasionally. If we make significant changes we'll let you know by email or with a prominent notice on the site. Continued use of the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

16. Ending the agreement

You can stop using lil adventure at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms, attempt to misuse the service, or for legal reasons. The clauses about content rights, indemnification, disclaimers, and limitation of liability survive any termination.

17. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless local consumer protection laws give you stronger rights in your home country.
