Terms and Conditions

Our service and your agreement

Read Aloud Ready is provided by Nejo Studios, based in Montague, Prince Edward Island, Canada. These terms govern your use of the service, and you are contracting with Nejo Studios for access to it. By creating an account or continuing to use Read Aloud Ready, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Read Aloud Ready offers illustrated English and French picture books and comprehension questions for teachers and other adults to read aloud from a screen, including a classroom projector. No audio narration is required. Accounts are for adults; you must be of legal age and authorised to accept these terms for any organisation you represent.

Your account and reading licence

Provide accurate account information, keep it updated, and protect your password. You are responsible for activity under your account. Your membership grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to read and display the available stories for your own personal or classroom use while you have access. Students watching a classroom read-aloud do not need separate accounts. Do not share account credentials or resell access.

Nejo Studios and its licensors retain ownership of the service and its intellectual property, including stories, translations, illustrations, questions, software, documentation and branding. Except where law permits, do not copy, download for redistribution, republish, sell, reverse engineer or bypass access restrictions. Classroom display does not transfer ownership or grant publishing rights.

Free trial

Every new account receives 14 days of full access without a credit card. The trial never automatically becomes a paid subscription, and you are not charged when it ends. You choose whether to subscribe. Visitors can preview the first two story pages; full stories and questions require an active trial or subscription. Do not create repeated accounts to evade trial limits.

Subscriptions and payment

Monthly membership is US$4.99 per month. Annual membership is US$35.88 per year, charged as one payment, equivalent to US$2.99 per month. Both options are available to everyone. Prices are in US dollars; applicable taxes and the final total are shown at checkout. A subscription begins when you choose and complete a purchase, including if you purchase during a trial, and renews monthly or annually according to your selected plan until cancelled. Choosing a paid subscription expressly authorises these recurring payments; a free trial alone does not.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

Payment, billing, tax, cancellation and refund mechanics are governed by Paddle’s Buyer Terms. Nejo Studios provides help with stories, account access and use of the service through our help centre.

Cancellation

Cancel at any time using the visible Cancel button in your account, which opens the cancellation process. Complete that process before your next renewal to stop further charges. You retain full access through the end of the period you have paid for. After that, membership ends and no further renewal payment is due. Cancellation alone does not request a refund.

Refunds

You can request a full refund within 14 days of a subscription payment, including a renewal, for either plan. Visit paddle.net to request it. See our Refund Policy for details. Our free trial does not remove your refund rights or any mandatory consumer rights.

Acceptable use

Do not use the service unlawfully, for fraud or spam, or to infringe copyright or other rights. Do not upload malware, interfere with security, probe systems without authorisation, scrape the service, disrupt other users, or circumvent technical limits. Do not submit student personal information through your account or support messages.

Some content may be created with AI-assisted tools and reviewed by Nejo Studios. We do not provide a tool for users to generate or upload stories. Stories and questions are educational resources, not medical, legal or other regulated professional advice; use your judgement about accuracy and suitability for your class. Report possible rights infringement through our help centre so we can investigate and remove or restrict content where appropriate.

Availability and responsibility

We aim to provide a reliable service, but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, that all information is accurate, or that every story suits every classroom. Maintenance, technical problems or changes to the catalog may affect availability. Nothing in these terms excludes warranties, liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses from use of the service.

Suspension and termination

We may restrict, suspend or terminate access for material breach, non-payment, security or fraud risks, or serious or repeated policy violations, including intellectual property infringement. We will provide notice where reasonable and lawful. You may stop using the service at any time and request account closure through our help centre; cancelling your subscription is necessary to stop renewals. Account data is handled according to our Privacy Notice.

Privacy, changes and applicable law

Our Privacy Notice explains how we handle personal information. We may update these terms and will give reasonable notice of material changes where required, including changes affecting a subscription before they apply. These terms are governed by the laws of Prince Edward Island and applicable federal laws of Canada, without depriving you of mandatory protections or dispute rights where you live.
