These Terms of Sale cover every order for a personalized Homefront Stories book. By checking the agreement box at checkout and placing an order, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, including its Notice to Parents.

Homefront Stories is an independent product of Thought2Creations LLC. It isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense (also called the Department of War), any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, any other government agency, or any military-family nonprofit or support program.

2. Who can buy

• You must be 18 or older and live in the United States.
• You must be the parent or legal guardian of every child named or described in the book, and give the parental consent shown at checkout. Children may not use the site or place orders.
• Gift orders with a child’s information, gift cards, and group codes aren’t available at launch.

3. What you’re buying

Each book is made to order for your family. We offer stories for all families: our signature Military collection and our Everyday collection (such as Parent Travels for Work, Moving, New Baby/Big Sibling, First Day of School, and Grandparent Far Away). Formats:

• E-book: a PDF download and an online read-along version. We email you a link when the book is ready.
• Hardcover and Deployment Bundle: coming soon. They aren’t available to order yet, and these Terms don’t cover them.
• Any other bundle shown at checkout lists exactly what it includes and when each part is delivered.

Prices are in US dollars and shown at checkout before you pay. E-books have no shipping. Any sales tax is shown at checkout before you pay. Printed books are coming soon; their prices and shipping aren’t offered yet. Every order is a one-time purchase. Nothing renews, and we never charge you again without a new order.

4. How AI is used, and checking your book

• Homefront Stories books are created with artificial intelligence (AI) tools from our AI provider, xAI. An AI model writes the story text from the choices you make, following our own story outlines and safety rules, and AI creates the pictures from your choices. We never send your child’s name or any other name you enter to xAI: the AI writes with placeholders, and we add the names on our own systems. We run safety checks on every book before we deliver it.
• AI can make mistakes. Pictures may not look exactly like your family, even with the look choices you make.
• Check your book. When your e-book is ready, we email you a link. Please check every page, especially the spelling of names, and tell us within 30 days if anything is wrong (Section 7).
• We don’t include real military insignia, unit patches, seals, locations, or dates, or real school names, company names or logos, addresses, or places. Our stories use generic schools, workplaces, and homes.

5. Payment and taxes

• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. Your card statement will show the charge as “T2C* HOMEFRONT”.
• Your payment for an order also verifies your parental consent under federal law. We record your consent only after Stripe confirms your payment. Orders that would total $0 aren’t accepted.
• We collect sales tax where the law requires it, including North Carolina sales tax on e-books. Discounts come off before tax is figured. Tax is shown at checkout before you pay.

6. Delivery

• E-book: usually ready soon after we receive your story details. We’ll email you a link when it’s ready.
• Printed books: coming soon. They aren’t available to order yet.
• Story details come before payment. You fill in your story details before you pay, and you can’t pay or place an order until they’re complete. They stay only on your device until your payment goes through. Then your browser sends them to us for your order.
• If your story details don’t reach us. If your payment goes through but your story details don’t reach us (for example, because the page closed or you used another device), you can enter them again in My Books. We’ll email you one reminder before the deadline. If your story details haven’t reached us within 30 days after payment, we’ll cancel the order, automatically refund the full amount you paid to your original payment method, and delete the choices saved with that order, as our Privacy Policy explains. We’ll email you when the refund is issued.
• Canceling before you send your story details. If your payment has gone through but you haven’t sent us your story details, you can cancel the order for a full refund at any time before you send them. Use the cancel button in My Books and confirm from the email we send you, or email contact@thought2creations.com from the email address on your order. We’ll refund the full amount you paid to your original payment method and delete the choices saved with that order. Once we’ve received your story details, Section 7 applies instead.
• If we can’t deliver within the time we stated, we’ll email you before that time, with a new estimated date and the option to cancel for a full refund. If we can’t give a new date, or the delay is long, we’ll cancel and refund you unless you tell us you want to wait.

7. Returns, problems, and refunds

Each book is personalized and made just for you, so we can’t accept returns or exchanges because you changed your mind. We will make it right if something went wrong:

What we fix:

• mistakes we or our AI tools made, such as a misspelled name that differs from what you entered, missing pages, or a picture that doesn’t match your choices; and
• a file that won’t open or download.

How to report it: email contact@thought2creations.com within 30 days after delivery, with your order number, a short description, and a screenshot of the problem.

What we’ll do:

• E-book: a corrected file. If we can’t fix it within a reasonable time, we’ll refund the e-book price.

What we don’t cover: a spelling or detail you entered, or how closely an AI picture resembles a real person, as long as it matches what you entered.

Before we receive your story details, you can cancel for a full refund, and if they never reach us we refund you automatically (Section 6).

Nothing in this section limits any right you have under law that can’t be waived. If a charge is wrong, contact us before disputing it with your card issuer so we can fix it quickly.

8A. Military family discount

Military families get 15% off the regular price of the books in each order, on any story. In short:

• Who: adults 18 and older in the US who are currently serving on active duty or in the National Guard or Reserve, or who are retired from the U.S. Armed Forces, and their spouses and dependents age 18 or older.
• How: select “Military family discount” at checkout and check the box certifying that you’re eligible. We don’t ask for proof, ID, rank, branch, unit, or service records. We keep only that you checked the box, when, your order number, and the discount applied, with your order record.
• Limits: one discount per order. It has no cash value and doesn’t apply to taxes or shipping.
• If it isn’t true: we may cancel an order that hasn’t shipped or been delivered and refund it, or ask you to pay the discount amount, and we may stop offering you the discount. We won’t charge your card for it unless you separately and expressly authorize that charge at the time.
• Changes: we may change or end the offer with notice on the offer page. Orders already placed aren’t affected.

The discount is our own offer. It isn’t a government benefit, and no government agency or military branch confirms eligibility or endorses it. The full military family discount terms control.

9. Your book, our content, and rights

• Your license. When you pay, we give you a personal, non-commercial license to keep, read, print, and share your book with family and friends. You may not sell it, use it in advertising, or use it to train AI.
• What we keep. Thought2Creations LLC keeps all rights in our story outlines, text, characters, layouts, designs, logos, and the Homefront Stories name. Your license doesn’t transfer them.
• AI pictures and copyright. Under current US Copyright Office guidance, AI-generated material may not be protected by copyright, so neither you nor we may be able to stop others from copying the AI-generated parts of a book.
• Your content. You keep any rights you have in the names and choices you provide. You give us permission to use them only to make, deliver, and support your book, as our Privacy Policy describes. We don’t use them for advertising or AI training, and we won’t show your book publicly without your separate written permission.
• Your promises. You promise that any other adult you describe has agreed to it.

10. Content rules

Please don’t enter:

• anyone’s last name, rank, unit, base, deployment location, or dates;
• a school or teacher’s name, an employer, an old or new address, or a travel or moving destination;
• anything sexual, violent, hateful, or harassing, or anything that mocks or demeans a person or group;
• anything you don’t have the right to share; or
• real insignia, logos, or characters owned by others.

We may refuse, edit, or cancel (with a full refund) any order that breaks these rules, or that we reasonably believe could harm a child or anyone else. We review AI output for safety before delivery, but please tell us right away if anything looks wrong.

11. Website “as is”

The website itself, apart from the books you buy, is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties for the website, such as merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. This doesn’t limit any warranty that applies to a book you buy, or our promises in Section 7.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent North Carolina and other applicable law allow:

• Thought2Creations LLC and its members, managers, and contractors won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data.
• Our total liability for any claim about an order is limited to the amount you paid for that order.

These limits don’t apply to fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or rights you have under consumer protection laws that can’t be waived, such as N.C. G.S. Chapter 75.

13. Agreeing electronically

You agree to these Terms by checking the box at checkout. You agree to receive these Terms, receipts, consent records, and other order notices electronically, by email or on the site. You can ask for a paper copy at no charge, or withdraw this agreement, by writing to contact@thought2creations.com. If you withdraw it, we may not be able to complete an order in progress. If you withdraw before you’ve sent us your story details, we’ll treat it as a cancellation and refund you in full under Section 6. To read our electronic records, you need an email account and a device that can open web pages and PDF files. We’ll tell you if those needs change.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and by applicable US federal law. Any lawsuit about an order or these Terms must be brought in the state or federal courts with jurisdiction over Onslow County, North Carolina. You and we agree to those courts’ personal jurisdiction. This doesn’t limit any right you have under the law of your state of residence that can’t be waived. Before filing a claim, please email contact@thought2creations.com so we can try to resolve it.

15. General

• If any part of these Terms can’t be enforced, the rest stays in effect.
• If we don’t enforce a part right away, we haven’t waived it.
• You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours as part of a merger or sale of the business, and your book’s privacy protections go with it.
• These Terms, the military family discount terms (if they apply), and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement about your order.

16. Changes

We may update these Terms. The version you agreed to at checkout applies to that order. New versions apply only to later orders.
