Terms of Use

Last updated: 2 October 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and the independent developer who publishes the Stella mobile application (the App, we, us). By downloading or using the App you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the App.

1. What the App does

Stella generates personalised sleep stories, affirmations and guided collections from details you provide, reads them aloud, and keeps a gratitude journal with streaks. The content is created automatically by artificial intelligence and refreshes over time, so what you see will differ from one person to the next and from one day to the next.

2. Who may use it

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country if that is higher. By using the App you confirm that you meet that requirement and that you have the authority to accept these terms.

3. Your account

There is no sign-up. Your content is held against an anonymous account tied to your device. That means it lives with that device: if you delete the App, reset or replace the device, your content may become unreachable. Because there is no email address to verify you against, we cannot move an account to a new device or recover one that has been lost. Keep that in mind before deleting the App.

4. Subscriptions and payment

Stella's features are available through an auto-renewing subscription purchased inside the App. The exact plans, prices and trial lengths available to you are shown on the purchase screen before you confirm, in your local currency.

• Free trial. Where a free trial is offered, it begins when you confirm the purchase. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, it converts automatically into a paid subscription at the price shown.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending.
• Managing and cancelling. Go to iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
• Payment. All payments are taken by Apple through your App Store account. We never receive or store your payment details.
• Refunds. Refunds are issued by Apple under its own policy, not by us. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
• Price changes. If a price rises, Apple will notify you and ask for your consent before the next renewal, in line with App Store rules.

5. Fair use of the service

Creating new content has a real cost for us, so the App applies fair-use limits on how much can be generated in a day. Those limits may change. You agree not to:

• access the service other than through the App itself, including by automated means, or attempt to reverse engineer, decompile or interfere with it;
• circumvent usage limits, access controls or any other technical restriction;
• resell, redistribute or commercially exploit content generated for you;
• submit content that is unlawful, abusive, or that concerns another person in a way that would violate their rights;
• use the App in a way that harms the service or other users.

We may suspend or terminate access that breaches this section.

6. Your content

Everything you type — your profile details, the people you add, your journal entries — remains yours. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, process and transmit it to our service providers strictly for the purpose of operating the App for you. That licence ends when you delete your account. You are responsible for having the right to provide any information you enter about other people.

7. Generated content

Subject to your compliance with these terms, you may use the stories and affirmations the App generates for you for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. Because the content is produced by a machine from common patterns, similar output may be generated for other users, and we make no claim that any particular output is unique or protectable.

8. Not medical or professional advice

Do not listen to audio content while driving, operating machinery, or doing anything else that requires your attention.

9. Availability

We aim to keep the App running but we do not promise uninterrupted service. Features may change, and the App depends on third-party services that can fail or change their terms. We may modify or discontinue parts of the App; if we discontinue a paid feature during a period you have paid for, you may request a pro-rata refund through Apple.

10. Intellectual property

The App itself — its software, design, illustrations, name and branding — belongs to the developer and is protected by copyright and other laws. These terms give you a personal, revocable, non-transferable licence to use the App on Apple devices you own or control. They give you no other rights.

11. Disclaimers and liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you arising out of or relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for it in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for loss of data.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

12. Apple

These terms are between you and us, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. Apple's Standard End User Licence Agreement also applies, and where it conflicts with these terms on a point it covers, it prevails.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time and delete your data from within Settings. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms or if we are required to by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — content licences already granted, disclaimers, liability limits and governing law — do so.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows the current version, and we will give notice inside the App before material changes take effect. If you do not accept a change, stop using the App and cancel any subscription.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the developer's country of residence, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts.
