Last update: July 16, 2026
These terms and conditions apply to the use of Sprongsy, a product of van der Smissen - IT services. Sprongsy is a platform for generating AI children's stories, available at sprongsy.com.
By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms and our privacy.title.
By participating in the beta phase, you help us improve the service. You understand and accept that the service is still under development.
Sprongsy is a platform for generating child-safe stories for children aged 4-10 years.
To use the service, you must create an account.
Email: You must provide a valid email address that you have access to. This is used for authentication and communication.
Password: You are responsible for keeping your password secret. Choose a strong password of at least 8 characters.
Responsibility: You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.
Age verification: When creating an account, you confirm via a checkbox that you are at least 18 years old.
Please note: If a minor creates an account by providing incorrect age information, full responsibility lies with the parent(s) or legal guardian(s). Sprongsy is not liable for use by minors.
Sprongsy offers various subscription options:
An active subscription is required to generate stories. We offer the following plans, both monthly and yearly:
€5,99/month
30 stories per month
Includes read-aloud voice
€54,99/year
360 stories per year
Includes read-aloud voice
(€4,58/month - save €16,89)
In addition to your subscription, you can purchase extra stories individually. Every story is generated including a read-aloud voice. These credits are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and are used first when your monthly credits run out.
€1,99
5 stories
€2,99
15 stories
€5,99
30 stories
Subscriptions are automatically renewed at the end of each payment period.
Monthly: Renews every month on the same date
Yearly: Renews every year on the same date
Reminder: You will receive a timely email reminder with the price and renewal date:
You can request deletion of your account and all data at any time via your account page. If you have an active paid subscription, the permanent deletion is scheduled at the end of your paid period: you keep access until then, no further payments will be charged, and you can cancel your deletion request before that date. There is no refund for the already paid period.
At Sprongsy, we offer all users in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom a 14-day cooling-off period after purchasing a subscription. This goes beyond the legal requirements, because we believe you should be able to choose with peace of mind.
During the free 7-day trial, no payment is charged. If you cancel during the trial, you pay nothing. The statutory 14-day right of withdrawal begins from the moment of registration. The 7-day trial therefore falls within these 14 days.
If you generate stories during the cooling-off period, you agree that the service starts immediately. You retain your right of withdrawal, but upon refund we may deduct a proportionate amount for services already used (generated stories).
A one-time credit bundle (standalone, without a subscription) is digital content delivered immediately after payment. At checkout you tick that you agree to immediate delivery and thereby expressly waive your statutory 14-day right of withdrawal (art. 6:230p(d) Dutch Civil Code / art. 16(m) Directive 2011/83/EU). As a result, a one-time bundle is final after purchase and non-refundable. Purchased credits are valid for 1 year. This does not affect your statutory guarantees in case of a defective service: if the service does not work as promised, please contact us.
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., our payment provider.
By making a payment, you also agree to Stripe's terms.
Please note: By completing a purchase, you agree to the price displayed at checkout at that moment.
The stories and audio are generated using AI technology from OpenAI.
Safety measures: All generated stories are automatically checked for child safety. Stories that do not pass the check are not saved.
Every story is generated including a read-aloud voice and costs 1 credit. Both subscriptions (monthly and yearly) give you 30 stories per month. With a yearly plan, 30 new credits are added each month (360 per year). Need more? You can buy additional story bundles (5, 15 or 30 stories).
The Sprongsy platform, characters (Sprongsy, Novi, Tikko), design, source code, and all related intellectual property rights remain the property of van der Smissen - IT services.
The stories you generate are for personal, non-commercial use. You may share the stories with your family and read them to your children.
