Staris Kids — Copyright & Takedown Policy
Version: 1.0 · Effective date: 27 August 2026 · Controlling language: English. We also publish this document in Portuguese, Japanese, French, and Spanish; where the law of your place of residence entitles you to rely on the version in your own language, that version prevails for you to the extent of any inconsistency.
1. What this policy covers
This policy explains who owns what in the Service — your own Content, the Generated Content the Service creates for you, and the Staris-owned assets built into the App — and how to report allegedly infringing material. It forms part of, and should be read with, the Terms of Use (which govern if there is any conflict) and the AI Content & Transparency Policy. Defined terms have the same meaning as in the Terms of Use.
2. You own your Content
As between you and us, you retain ownership of your Content — the prompts you write, the characters you create, and (subject to §3) the Generated Content produced from your inputs. We claim no ownership of your Content beyond the limited licence you grant us in §6 to operate the Service.
3. Generated Content — we assign our rights to you
As between you and us, we assign to you whatever rights we hold in the Generated Content (story text and illustrations) you create. This assignment is subject to the licence you grant us in §6, our AI Subprocessors' terms applicable to generated output (Anthropic for story text, OpenAI for illustrations), and the Staris-owned built-in world assets in §5 (which remain licensed to you, not owned). The assignment is limited to whatever rights we ourselves hold and cannot transfer the Content or inputs of any other Account Holder or any output owned by a Subprocessor or third party.
No warranty of protectability or freedom from third-party rights. We make no warranty that Generated Content is protectable by copyright — AI-generated output may not be copyrightable under the human-authorship doctrine applied in some jurisdictions — or that it is free of third-party rights. Before any commercial-type reuse, you are responsible for clearing any third-party rights (copyright, trademark, publicity) yourself; the Service licence is for personal, family, non-commercial use (§5; Terms of Use §4).
4. Generated Content is not exclusive
Generated Content is not unique to you. Because the AI is probabilistic and other Account Holders may use similar prompts, the Service may produce similar or comparable stories and illustrations for other people, and we reserve the right to generate the same or similar content for other users. Our assignment in §3 does not extend to any other user's Generated Content. You receive no exclusive right in the style, themes, or output patterns of the Service.
5. Staris-owned built-in assets stay licensed, not owned
The Service includes assets we or our licensors own — built-in Story Worlds, world characters and cast art, templates, fonts, the Staris brand, and the App's software and design. These are not assigned to you. When Generated Content incorporates or is derived from these built-in assets, your rights in it are subject to a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use those assets only within the Service for personal, family, non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. (This aligns with Terms of Use §8.)
6. The licence you grant us to operate
You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process, and display your Content and Generated Content solely to operate, secure, support, and provide the Service to you — and for no other purpose. In particular, we do not use your Content or Generated Content to train AI models and do not use them for advertising or marketing, without your separate, opt-in consent. This restates Terms of Use §6(c).
7. Respect third-party intellectual property
You must not use the Service to infringe anyone else's rights. You represent and warrant that your Content — including every Uploaded Photo and prompt — does not infringe any third party's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, moral, or other rights, and that you have all necessary rights for it. Do not upload images, or write prompts, designed to reproduce third-party intellectual property or a real person's likeness without authorization. Your rights-warranty and the related indemnity are in Terms of Use §6 and §17.
8. Reporting infringement & takedown
If you believe Content on the Service infringes your copyright, ask us to remove it at support@cleverlabs.com.au. Include: (1) your signature (physical or electronic); (2) identification of the copyrighted work; (3) identification of the material claimed to infringe and enough information to locate it; (4) your contact details; (5) a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (6) a statement that your notice is accurate. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation that Content is infringing may make you liable for the resulting damages and costs.
Timeframe. We acknowledge takedown notices within 7 days and aim to resolve them within 30 days of a complete notice.
After a valid notice we may remove or disable access to the identified Content and take reasonable steps to notify the affected Account Holder; a deficient notice we may ask you to correct.
Counter-notice. If your Content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice (your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a good-faith statement that removal was a mistake; and your contact details). We may restore the Content unless the complainant pursues legal action.
Repeat infringers. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
US DMCA designated agent. For the purposes of the US DMCA §512, our designated agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is:
Rafael Dixon, Designated Agent · Clever Labs Pty Ltd 30 St Kevins Avenue, Benowa QLD 4217, Australia support@cleverlabs.com.au · +61 403 652 981
Send a §512(c)(3) notification to the address above. We act on genuine infringement reports in all markets via the process described above, whether or not a notice meets the DMCA's formal requirements.
Scope note. Staris Kids has no public gallery, feed, or discovery surface. Content stays within the Account Holder's own supervised account, with one limited exception: an Account Holder can share a story they created by sending an unlisted link that expires after 10 days and can be revoked at any time. That page is excluded from search indexing and carries its own reporting path. If you believe material reachable through such a link infringes your rights, use the process above and tell us the link — we can disable it immediately, and we do so on any credible report while we assess it.
9. Changes and contact
We may update this policy. For material changes we will change the version and effective date above and give notice in the App or by email. Questions: support@cleverlabs.com.au.
