Terms of Service
How Book&Bind works, what it costs, and what we promise. Last updated October 15, 2026.
The short version
- A grown-up (18 or over) holds the account and makes the books with their child.
- Making books in the app is free for one a month; Family ($7.99 a month or $59 a year) makes six and takes 20% off printed books. Cancel any time.
- A printed hardcover is $44.99 plus shipping. If it arrives damaged or misprinted, we reprint or refund it.
- You own the story you make. The pictures and words are made with AI, so read a book before you give it.
Who can use it
Book&Bind is run by Orvio LLC, doing business as Book&Bind (“we”, “us”). An account is for a grown-up aged 18 or over, who is responsible for how it’s used. Children make books with a parent or guardian, who agrees to our privacy policy first. By using Book&Bind you agree to these terms.
Plans
- Free: one book a month, read in the app, in the six launch art styles. You can order it in print.
- Family: $7.99 a month or $59 a year. Six books a month, every art style and character, the coloring-book edition of every book, and 20% off printed books (a hardcover is $35.99). One more book in a month, past the six, is $1.99.
The month’s count starts over on the 1st (UTC). Family renews automatically until you cancel, which you can do at any time from your account page; it then runs to the end of the period you’ve paid for, and isn’t refunded for the part already started, except where the law says otherwise. If we change the price, we’ll tell you before your next renewal.
Add-ons
- Art styles and characters: $0.99 each, a themed pack for $2.99, or every art style for $4.99.
- The coloring-book edition of a book: $9.99 (included with Family).
Add-ons are digital and yours to use in every book you make for as long as Book&Bind runs. Family includes all of them while you’re a member. Because they’re usable at once, they aren’t refundable once bought, except where the law says otherwise or if one doesn’t work and we can’t fix it.
Printed books
A finished book prints as an 8.5 × 8.5 inch hardcover with every path of the story and the endings it holds: $44.99, or $35.99 on Family. A second or later copy of the same book in an order is 30% off. Shipping, and any tax, is shown at checkout before you pay. Prices are in US dollars.
Launch offer: 15% off your first printed book order, until December 31, 2026, taken off at checkout. One discount per order: an offer and a gift code don’t combine.
Each book is printed to order by our printing partner, Lulu, usually within 3 to 5 business days, then shipped together by the method you choose. We ship to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia. Most US orders arrive within 1 to 2 weeks; other countries can take longer, and your country may charge import duties or taxes on delivery.
Gifts
A gift is a code worth one printed hardcover, emailed to you (and to the person it’s for, if you give their email). It comes off the price of printed books at checkout; shipping is paid by whoever orders. A code can be used once, has no cash value, and doesn’t expire. If a gift hasn’t been used, email us within 30 days of buying it for a full refund.
Returns and refunds
Because each book is made just for you, we can’t take returns for a change of mind. If a book arrives damaged, misprinted or with pages missing, or never arrives, we’ll reprint it or refund it in full, including shipping. Email us within 30 days of delivery (or of the expected delivery date for a lost parcel) with your order number and, for a damaged or misprinted book, a photo of the problem. Refunds go back to the card you paid with and usually show within 5 to 10 business days.
Printing starts soon after you pay. To change the address or cancel, email us straight away: if the book hasn’t gone to print, we’ll cancel it and refund you in full. Once it’s printing, we can’t stop it.
Your stories and pictures
You own the story you make: its words, choices and the pictures made for it, to keep, print and share for your family. You let us store, show, read aloud and print them to provide the app to you, and nothing more; we don’t use them to advertise, and we don’t let others use them to train AI models. Photos you add stay yours, and you confirm you’re allowed to use them.
Made with AI
Stories, pictures and the read-aloud voice are made by AI. We check stories for safety and pictures for mistakes, but AI can still get things wrong: a strange detail, a picture that doesn’t quite match, or a word you wouldn’t choose. Read a book before giving it to a child, and tell us if anything is wrong; we’ll fix it or redraw it.
Fair use
Book&Bind is for families making their own books. Please don’t use it to make anything harmful, hateful, sexual, violent or illegal, to copy someone else’s characters or work, or to upload photos of people without their (or their parent’s) permission. Don’t try to break, overload or copy the app. We may stop accounts that do, and refuse or remove such content.
Our responsibility
We work hard to keep Book&Bind running and your books safe, but we provide the app as it is and can’t promise it will always be available or free of mistakes. As far as the law allows, we aren’t responsible for indirect losses, and our total responsibility for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before it.
Nothing here takes away rights you have under consumer law where you live, including the consumer guarantees in the UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia.
Changes and contact
We’re still building Book&Bind, and these terms will change with it. We’ll update the date below, and tell you about significant changes before they apply.
Questions, a problem with an order, or anything else: email support@bookandbind.com. We reply within 2 business days. Book&Bind is a trade name (DBA) of Orvio LLC.
