3. Nature of Poczytamy.pl

  1. Poczytamy.pl is a service intended primarily for parents, guardians and other adults ordering a personalised story for a child or children.
  2. The Product may use information provided by the Customer so that elements of the story world, plot, dialogue or audio layer refer to the child and their surroundings.
  3. The exact scope of the Product, the number of parts, duration, language, method of delivery, access period, publication schedule and price are indicated in the offer description before the Order is placed.
  4. If a given offer takes the form of an Advent story, individual parts may be made available according to the schedule indicated in the offer, in particular from 1 to 24 December.
  5. Advertising materials, sample excerpts and illustrations are for information purposes only. The binding characteristics of a specific Product follow from the offer description and the Order confirmation.
  6. The 2026 edition is a personalised digital story comprising 24 chapters, supplied as an ebook and/or audiobook according to the selected offer. It is not a physical book or a shipment of goods. All chapters are made available together; listening or reading from 1 to 24 December is a suggested schedule, not a daily unlocking mechanism.

  4. If the Service offers a customer account, the Customer may stop using the account in accordance with the functionality of the Service or by contacting the Seller. Deleting the account does not affect the obligation to retain data that the Seller must keep under the law or in connection with pursuing and defending claims.

    • a device with Internet access,
    • an up-to-date web browser supporting standard web technologies,
    • an active e-mail address when placing an Order, making contact or signing up for the Newsletter,

  1. The Customer is obliged to use the Service in accordance with the law, these Terms and good practice.
  2. In particular, the following are prohibited:
    • providing unlawful content,
    • infringing the rights of third parties,
    • attempting to gain unauthorised access to the Service or its infrastructure,
    • disrupting the operation of the Service,
    • using the Service to distribute malicious software,
    • automated harvesting of data from the Service in a manner that infringes the law or the rights of the Seller.
  3. The Customer is responsible for the truthfulness and accuracy of the information provided when placing an Order, to the extent that such information is needed for the proper performance of the contract.

7. Data provided for Personalisation

  1. The Customer should provide only the information needed to create the story.
  2. The form may cover in particular information such as:
    • the child's first name,
    • age or age range,
    • the grammatical form needed to prepare the text correctly,
    • interests and favourite activities,
    • Christmas wishes,
    • information about pets or favourite objects,
    • the first names or roles of loved ones,
    • general information about the place of residence or surroundings,
    • other information voluntarily provided in the form fields.
  3. Information that is unnecessary for creating the story should not be provided, in particular:
    • the child's full home address,
    • the child's surname, unless required,
    • the full date of birth,
    • the name of the school or nursery,
    • identity document details,
    • passwords,
    • data concerning health, religion or other special categories of data, unless expressly required and an appropriate legal basis for processing them exists.
  4. By providing data concerning a child, the Customer declares that they are entitled to provide such data for the purpose of fulfilling the Order, in particular as a parent, guardian or person acting with the consent of an entitled person.
  5. If the Customer provides data of other adults, they should keep such data to a minimum and be entitled to provide it. Where necessary, the Customer should inform those persons of the data processing rules described in the Privacy Policy.
  6. The Seller may request the correction or removal of information that is manifestly unnecessary, unlawful or inappropriate, or whose processing would involve a disproportionate risk to privacy.
  7. Incorrect, incomplete or ambiguous data provided by the Customer may affect the result of Personalisation.

8. Automated creation and Personalisation of content

  1. Data provided for Personalisation is transmitted to artificial intelligence (AI) agents provided by OpenAI and ElevenLabs only to the extent necessary to create the Product. We retain raw Personalisation data only for the duration of the processing necessary to prepare the Product. Once this processing is complete, this data is deleted. This also applies to data transmitted to OpenAI and ElevenLabs AI agents.
  2. These tools are used to fulfil the Order and do not alter the Seller's responsibility for the conformity of the Product with the contract.
  3. Personalisation is intended to use the information provided by the Customer in a way that is natural for the story; however, it does not entail an obligation to include every piece of information provided in the final Product.
  4. In the event of a manifest Personalisation error, in particular an incorrect name, an incorrect linguistic form or the omission of a feature expressly indicated as an element of the Product, the Customer may lodge a complaint.

9. Placing Orders

  1. Information published in the Service constitutes an invitation to enter into a contract, unless expressly stated otherwise.
  2. To place an Order, the Customer:
    • selects a Product,
    • reviews its description and price,
    • provides the required data,
    • completes the Personalisation Form, if required,
    • selects an available payment method,
    • accepts these Terms and reviews the Privacy Policy,
    • confirms the Order using a button that unambiguously indicates the obligation to pay.
  3. Before placing an Order, the Customer is given the opportunity to check and correct the data.
  4. Clicking “Order with obligation to pay” or, for a free order, “Place order” constitutes the Customer’s offer. The contract is concluded when the Customer receives the Seller’s acceptance of the Order by email. For a paid Order, this confirmation is sent after payment is confirmed; for a free order, after it is accepted.
  5. The Order confirmation contains the information required by law and is provided on a durable medium, in particular by e-mail.
  6. The Seller may refuse to fulfil an Order before the contract is concluded if:
    • the data provided makes fulfilment impossible,
    • the Order infringes the law,
    • the content provided for Personalisation infringes the rights of third parties,
    • a manifest technical error occurs that makes fulfilment impossible.
  7. In the event of a refusal after payment has been collected, the funds will be refunded without undue delay.

10. Prices and payments

  1. Prices quoted in the Service are gross prices, inclusive of taxes required by law, unless expressly stated otherwise.
  2. The total price and any additional costs are indicated to the Customer before the Order is placed.
  3. The available payment methods are indicated in each case during the Order placement process.
  4. Payments may be processed by an external payment operator. The technical conditions of a given payment method may also follow from the operator's rules.
  5. If advance payment is provided for a given Product, fulfilment may begin once the payment has been confirmed.
  6. If the Seller announces a price reduction, it also displays information on the lowest price during the period required by law, where such an obligation applies.
  7. The accounting document is issued in accordance with the applicable regulations and the data provided by the Customer.
  8. Paid Orders are paid in advance through PayU using a method available for the Order’s currency and shown during payment. The total price including tax and the currency displayed in the summary apply. An order with a total of zero requires neither payment nor redirection to a payment operator.

11. Delivery of the Product

  1. The Product is delivered in the manner described in the offer, in particular:
    • by making it available in the Service,
    • via an individual link,
    • via a customer account or panel,
    • by sending a file or link by e-mail.
  2. The start and end dates of delivery and any schedule for subsequent parts are indicated before the contract is concluded.
  3. If the Product is delivered in parts, each part is made available according to the schedule described in the offer or the Order confirmation.
  4. The Customer should promptly inform the Seller if they have not received access within the expected time.
  5. The Seller supplies the Digital Content in the version, format, language, quality and scope agreed in the contract.
  6. If using the Product requires specific compatibility, interoperability or other technical requirements beyond an ordinary web browser and the ability to play audio, information about them is provided in the offer description before the contract is concluded.
  7. The access period for the Product, if limited, is clearly stated in the offer and the Order confirmation.
  8. Access is sent to the email address given in the Order. The ordered formats are available online and as downloadable PDF files (ebook) and MP3 files (audiobook). Online access and file downloads are available for 6 months from the day the materials are delivered, i.e. the day access is sent to the email address given in the Order. For pre-orders, the period runs from delivery, not from the purchase date. Online access and downloads expire at the end of this period. Download your materials within this period and keep your own copy for offline use under the licence.
  9. Materials are generated and made available within a maximum of 2 hours after payment is confirmed, or after a free order is accepted.

12. Licence and permitted use

  1. Upon the Product being made available, the Customer receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Product for private and family purposes, to the extent resulting from the nature of the Product.
  2. The licence covers in particular playing the Product within the household and on devices under the Customer's control, provided that the method of delivery allows this.
  3. Without the Seller's prior consent, the following in particular are prohibited:
    • making the Product publicly available on the Internet,
    • selling, sublicensing or making the Product available for a fee,
    • mass copying and distribution,
    • removing technical protection measures,
    • using the Product for commercial purposes,
    except where permitted by mandatory provisions of law.
  4. Rights to elements provided by the Customer remain with their existing holders. The Customer grants the Seller the right to use the materials and information provided solely to the extent necessary to fulfil the Order, handle complaints and comply with legal obligations.
  5. The licence for downloaded files is granted for an indefinite period without territorial restrictions. The Customer may save the PDF and MP3 files of the ordered formats on their devices, make backup copies, print the ebook for private and family use, and read and play the materials offline. Expiry of online access does not end the right to use files already downloaded. The licence does not transfer copyright or restrict uses permitted by mandatory law.

13. Conformity of the Digital Content with the contract

  1. The Seller is liable to the Consumer and the Entrepreneur with consumer rights for the conformity of the Digital Content with the contract under the rules set out in the Polish Consumer Rights Act.
  2. The Digital Content should conform in particular to the agreed description, type, quantity, quality, functionality, compatibility, interoperability, completeness and other characteristics resulting from the contract and reasonable expectations.
  3. If the Digital Content has not been supplied, the Customer may call on the Seller to supply it. In the cases specified by statute, the Customer may withdraw from the contract without an additional request or after an appropriate time limit has expired without effect.
  4. If the Digital Content does not conform to the contract, the Consumer may demand that it be brought into conformity with the contract.
  5. The Seller may refuse to bring the Digital Content into conformity with the contract if this is impossible or would involve excessive costs within the meaning of the applicable law.
  6. The Consumer may demand a price reduction or withdraw from the contract in the cases provided for by statute, in particular where:
    • bringing the content into conformity is impossible or requires excessive costs,
    • the Seller has not brought the Digital Content into conformity within a reasonable time and without excessive inconvenience,
    • the lack of conformity persists despite an attempt to remedy it,
    • the lack of conformity is so serious that it justifies an immediate price reduction or withdrawal,
    • it is clear from the Seller's statement or the circumstances that the Seller will not bring the Digital Content into conformity within a reasonable time or without excessive inconvenience.
  7. Statutory rights are not limited by the provisions of these Terms.
  8. In the case of Digital Content supplied in a single act or in parts, the period of the Seller's liability and the rules on presumptions regarding the time at which the lack of conformity arose follow from the applicable law, in particular the Polish Consumer Rights Act.
  9. If the Digital Content is supplied continuously over a specified period, the Seller is liable for its conformity with the contract throughout the period during which it is to be supplied under the contract.

14. Complaints

  1. Complaints concerning the Service, electronic services or the Product may be submitted:
    • by e-mail to [email protected],
    • in writing to: Wirebase Sp. z o.o., Aleja Jana Pawła II 27, 00-867 Warsaw, Poland.
  2. Where possible, a complaint should include:
    • details allowing the Order to be identified,
    • a description of the problem,
    • the date on which it occurred,
    • the Customer's request, if required.
  3. The absence of any of the above elements does not deprive the Consumer of the right to lodge a complaint.
  4. The Seller responds to a Consumer's complaint within the time limit required by law, as a rule no later than 14 days from its receipt.
  5. The response is provided on paper or another durable medium, in particular by e-mail.
  6. A complaint concerning incorrect Personalisation does not limit the rights arising from the statutory liability for the conformity of the Digital Content with the contract.
  7. A refund due following a justified price reduction or termination for lack of conformity is made without undue delay, no later than 14 days after receipt of the relevant notice, using the same payment method unless the Consumer expressly agrees to another method at no cost. Complaints are not limited to the 14-day period for withdrawal without giving a reason.

15. Right of withdrawal

  1. The Consumer and, where provided by law, the Entrepreneur with consumer rights may withdraw from a distance contract for Digital Content without giving a reason within 14 days of the day the Digital Content is delivered, i.e. the day the Customer is sent access to the ordered materials, subject to the statutory exceptions described below. Before the Digital Content is delivered, withdrawal is possible at any time.
  2. To meet the deadline, it is sufficient to send the declaration before it expires.
  3. The declaration may be submitted using the “Withdrawal from contract” form available in the footer of every page of the Service, sent to [email protected] or sent to the address of the Seller's registered office. After a declaration is submitted using the form, the Seller promptly sends a confirmation of its receipt to the email address used for the Order, containing the content of the declaration and the date and time it was submitted.
  4. The Consumer may use the model form attached as an annex to these Terms, but this is not obligatory.
  5. For paid Digital Content not supplied on a tangible medium, the right of withdrawal may expire under Article 38 of the Polish Consumer Rights Act only if all statutory conditions are met, including:
    • supply begins before the withdrawal period expires with the Consumer’s express prior consent,
    • the Consumer is informed in advance and acknowledges that the right of withdrawal will be lost when the supply of Digital Content begins,
    • the Seller provides the required confirmation of the conclusion of the contract on a durable medium.
  6. The mere fact that the Product is personalised does not automatically deprive the Consumer of the right of withdrawal applicable to Digital Content. The relevant provisions governing the type of contract concluded apply.
  7. If the Product is delivered in parts or over a specified period, the right of withdrawal is lost only where and to the extent that the applicable law so provides and its conditions have been met.
  8. Following an effective withdrawal, the Seller refunds all payments due without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receiving the withdrawal notice. The same payment method is used unless the Consumer expressly agrees to another method that involves no cost to them.
  9. Detailed information on the right of withdrawal and any exclusion of that right is provided to the Consumer before the Order is placed and in the confirmation of the contract.
  10. Accepting these Terms alone does not constitute consent to begin supplying Digital Content before the withdrawal period expires or acknowledgement of the loss of the right of withdrawal. The Seller does not rely on this exception unless all statutory conditions are met.
  11. After withdrawing, the Customer must stop using the Digital Content and making it available to third parties. Files do not have to be sent back and there are no physical return costs.

16. Newsletter and commercial information

  1. Signing up for the Newsletter is voluntary.
  2. Messages containing commercial information or direct marketing are sent only after the consent required by law has been obtained.
  3. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of actions taken before its withdrawal.
  4. Unsubscribing from the Newsletter does not affect the performance of contracts already concluded or the sending of transactional, technical or Order-related messages.

17. Intellectual property of the Service

  1. The Service, its graphic elements, texts, name, designs, illustrations, recordings, characters, fictional world, software and other materials may be protected by copyright, industrial property rights or other rights held by the Seller or its licensors.
  2. Using the Service does not mean that the Customer acquires any rights to these elements beyond the scope necessary for the ordinary use of the Service and the licence relating to the purchased Product.
  3. The Poczytamy.pl and Elfindo names and brand-related designations may be protected independently of copyright protection.

18. Privacy and cookies

  1. The rules for processing personal data are described in a separate Privacy and Cookies Policy.
  2. The Service may use cookies and similar technologies.
  3. Technologies necessary to provide a service requested by the user may be used without consent in the cases provided for by law.
  4. Optional technologies, in particular analytics or marketing technologies, are activated after the required consent has been obtained.
  5. The user should be able to change or withdraw consent using the cookie settings available in the Service.

19. Out-of-court dispute resolution

  1. The Consumer may use out-of-court methods of handling complaints and pursuing claims under the rules set out in the applicable law.
  2. Information on the entities authorised to conduct out-of-court consumer dispute resolution proceedings and on the rules of access to such proceedings is available in the materials of the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK).
  3. The Consumer may also seek assistance from the competent municipal or district consumer ombudsman or a consumer organisation.
  4. The use of out-of-court methods is voluntary, unless specific provisions provide otherwise.

20. Liability

  1. The Seller is liable for non-performance or improper performance of the contract under the rules set out in the applicable law.
  2. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the rights of the Consumer or the Entrepreneur with consumer rights that cannot be excluded by contract.
  3. The Seller is not liable for problems resulting solely from:
    • the Customer's failure to meet the minimum technical requirements,
    • a failure of the Customer's device or connection,
    • incorrect data provided by the Customer, where the Seller had no reasonable means of verifying it,
    unless the Seller's liability arises from mandatory provisions of law.
  4. The Seller applies reasonable organisational and technical measures to ensure the security of the Service; however, using the Internet involves typical ICT security risks.

21. Customers who are not consumers

  1. Customers who are neither Consumers nor Entrepreneurs with consumer rights are subject to the provisions of civil law and these Terms.
  2. To the extent permitted by law, the Seller's liability towards such a Customer may be limited to the actual loss suffered and the value of the relevant Order, excluding lost profits.
  3. The limitation set out in paragraph 2 does not apply to the extent that such an exclusion is not permitted by law.

22. Amendments to the Terms

  1. The Seller may amend these Terms for important reasons, in particular in the event of:
    • changes in the law,
    • changes to the functionality of the Service,
    • the introduction of new services or Products,
    • changes to the payment or delivery methods,
    • the need to improve security or remove ambiguities.
  2. An amendment to the Terms does not affect acquired rights or the terms of contracts concluded before the amendment enters into force, unless the amendment results directly from the applicable law.
  3. In the case of continuous services, the user will be informed of changes with appropriate advance notice where required by law or by the nature of the service.

23. Final provisions

  1. These Terms are governed by Polish law, subject to the mandatory provisions protecting the Consumer, including the provisions of the country of the Consumer's habitual residence, where applicable.
  2. Matters not covered by these Terms are governed by the applicable law, in particular:
    • the Polish Civil Code,
    • the Polish Consumer Rights Act of 30 May 2014,
    • the Polish Act on Providing Services by Electronic Means of 18 July 2002,
    • the Polish Electronic Communications Law of 12 July 2024,
    • the personal data protection legislation.
  3. The court having jurisdiction over disputes with a Consumer is the court determined in accordance with the applicable law. This provision does not impose on the Consumer a court that would not have jurisdiction under the law.
  4. These Terms are made available free of charge in a form that allows them to be saved, reproduced and stored.
