Terms of use

Effective 13 November 2026

The short version

  • Pagestar is for families. Grown-ups (18+) hold the account; children read with a grown-up nearby.
  • It's early: things will change and sometimes break. The trial and current features are free.
  • If paid plans arrive, you'll see the price before you pay, and nothing is charged without your say-so.

Using Pagestar

By using Pagestar you agree to these terms and our privacy policy. You must be 18 or over, and the parent or legal guardian of any child you add. You're responsible for keeping access to your email secure, because that's how you sign in.

What Pagestar is, and isn't

Pagestar helps children practise reading aloud with personalised stories and progress reports. It is a learning aid, not a medical, diagnostic or special-educational assessment. Speech recognition isn't perfect, especially with young voices and different accents: it may sometimes miss a word read correctly, or accept one that wasn't. A grown-up can always override it. Please don't rely on Pagestar's results for important decisions about your child's education.

Early access

Pagestar is in early access. We may add, change or remove features, and the service may occasionally be unavailable. Anything we show as "coming soon", including hardcover books and prices, isn't on sale yet, and nothing is charged by joining a waitlist.

Paid plans

If we introduce paid plans, the price, billing period and what's included will be shown before you pay. Payments are handled by our payment provider. You can cancel any time, and cancelling stops future charges.

Fair use

Please don't misuse Pagestar: no attempting to access other families' data, overloading or reverse-engineering the service, using it to collect information about children, or entering anything unlawful or hurtful as a name.

Our content

The stories, illustrations, software and the Pagestar name belong to us or our licensors. You may use them for your family's personal, non-commercial reading. Personalised stories made for your child are yours to enjoy and share with family.

Ending things

You can delete your account at any time from the dashboard. We may suspend accounts that break these terms. If we ever close Pagestar, we'll give account holders at least 30 days' notice and a way to download their data.

Liability

Pagestar is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or 50 US dollars if you haven't paid anything). Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be excluded.

Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, without taking away protections you have under the laws of the country where you live. Questions: hello@getpagestar.com. If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll email account holders before the change takes effect.
