Terms of Use — “Skazochnoe Vremya”
Last revised: 11 November 2026
Published at https://magicaltime.app/en/terms (Russian version: https://magicaltime.app/terms).
These terms apply to the “Skazochnoe Vremya” app (the “App”) on iPhone and iPad and, once released, on Android. The App is provided by DEVLAUNCH LTD, registered in England and Wales under company number 16886925. Registered office: 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom (“we”, “us”, “our”).
The App is designed for families with young children. These terms form an agreement with the parent or other adult who downloads the App or takes out a subscription (“you”). By downloading or using the App, you accept these terms for yourself and for each child who uses the App on your device. Our Privacy Policy (https://magicaltime.app/en/privacy) explains how the App handles information. In brief: it does not collect personal data.
1. About the App
The App contains illustrated, narrated fairy tales with interactive pictures and sound effects, a “Read Together” mode for reading aloud, and a “Bedtime” playlist. No account is needed. After downloading, the App works without an internet connection, except for purchases.
2. Your licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the App on devices that you own or control, for private, non-commercial family use, in accordance with these terms and the rules of the store from which you downloaded the App.
You must not copy, sell, rent, distribute or publicly reproduce the App or its content; extract and reuse its illustrations, narration, music or sounds, or train software on them; decompile the App, except where permitted by law; or bypass the parental gate or purchase verification.
3. Free stories and subscriptions
Some stories are free. The others require an “All Stories” subscription. There is a monthly plan, currently £5.99 per month, and a yearly plan, currently £39.99 per year, or the local-currency equivalent shown in your store. Both plans unlock the same stories. The price and billing period, including taxes, are shown before you confirm the purchase. The yearly plan may begin with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers, with one trial per store account. Unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it becomes a paid yearly subscription, and the yearly price is charged when the trial ends.
- Who sells the subscription. Apple sells the subscription and takes payment through the App Store, or Google does so through Google Play. The store handles payment, renewal, cancellation and refunds under its own terms.
- Renewal. The subscription automatically renews for the same period (a month or a year) at the price in effect at that time, unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your store account when you confirm the purchase and on each renewal.
- Cancellation. You can cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID or Google Play subscription settings. Access continues until the end of the paid period.
- Price changes. If the price changes, the store will notify you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent before charging the new price.
- Changing plans. You can switch between the monthly and yearly plans in the store's subscription settings. The store determines when the change takes effect: a move to a cheaper plan usually takes effect at the next renewal, and a move to a more expensive plan usually takes effect immediately.
- Family Sharing. If you have set up Apple Family Sharing or a Google family group (where supported), up to five additional family members can use the subscription at no extra charge. The store determines who can be in the family group.
- Restoring purchases. You can restore an active subscription on another device using the same store account by tapping “Restore Purchases”.
- Refunds. Refund requests are submitted to Apple (https://reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google under their rules. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Purchases and restoration are protected by a question for adults so that a child cannot make a purchase accidentally.
4. Your consumer rights
If you are a consumer in the UK or the EU, you have statutory rights in relation to digital content that is defective or not as described, and these terms do not limit those rights. The subscription is sold through the App Store or Google Play, so the store's cancellation and refund rules apply to the purchase. For example, in the UK and the EU, Apple allows you to cancel an App Store purchase within 14 days. If a statutory right to withdraw could be lost because paid content is supplied immediately, the store will ask for your consent and acknowledgement at checkout.
5. Supervision and safety
The App is intended for children to use together with a parent or another adult. Please supervise young children's screen time, volume levels and use of headphones. Some features, including settings, purchases, support email and links outside the App, are protected by a question for adults. Please do not tell a child the answer.
6. Our content
The App, including its illustrations, narration, voices, music, sound effects, adaptations of texts, design and software code, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. The folk tales on which the stories are based are in the public domain, but our adaptations, illustrations and recordings are not. Fonts in the App are used under the SIL Open Font License.
7. Changes and availability
We may update the App to fix errors, add or change stories, or meet legal or store requirements. We will not reduce what is included in an active subscription without giving you advance notice. If we stop supporting the App, we will give advance notice where possible, and you may be entitled to a refund through the store for the unused paid period.
8. Our liability to you
We provide the App with reasonable care and skill. If there is a defect in the App or paid content, please contact us first and we will try to fix it. You may also have rights against the store.
We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that was a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for unforeseeable loss or damage, business losses, or harm caused by devices or software that we do not provide. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to limit.
9. App Store terms
If you downloaded the App from the App Store:
- these terms are between you and DEVLAUNCH LTD, not Apple, and we, not Apple, are responsible for the App and its content;
- your licence is also subject to the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, and Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) applies unless these terms state otherwise;
- Apple has no obligation to maintain or support the App;
- if the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price; to the extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligations in relation to the App;
- Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to comply with legal requirements, consumer protection claims, or claims that the App infringes someone else's intellectual property; we handle those claims;
- you confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated by the US government as “supporting terrorism”, and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
If you downloaded the App from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply to your use of Google Play.
10. Termination
You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it. Remember to cancel your subscription in the store's settings: deleting the App does not cancel it. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you seriously breach these terms, for example by copying or distributing the App's content.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when new features are introduced or legal requirements change. We will update the date at the beginning and notify you of significant changes in the App or on our website. If you do not agree with the changes, you can stop using the App and cancel your subscription.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. You may bring proceedings in the courts of England and Wales or, if you live in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the EU or another country, in the courts where you live. You also retain the protection of the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country.
13. Language
These terms are available in English and Russian. If the versions differ, the English version takes precedence unless the law of your country requires otherwise.
