The stories are free. You don't need an account. You can request as many as you like, but we ask that each one is for a child who'll genuinely love it.
Once we've made a story, it's yours to keep, share, and replay. You don't owe us anything.
We reserve the right not to generate a story if the request seems abusive, or aimed at real harmful use. This has happened exactly zero times.
Any "support" payment is a voluntary donation. No goods or services are exchanged. Thank you either way.
full legal detail
By using Hear Their Name you agree to these Terms. If you don't, please don't use the service.
We write and narrate personalised audio stories for children, delivered by email as a link to a public playback page. The service is operated by BuiltSmarter (United Kingdom).
Once a story is delivered, the audio and its link are yours to keep, share, and replay. You may forward the link freely. We retain the right to use anonymised patterns of usage (e.g. "average story length") for internal product improvement. We do not claim ownership of the details you share about your child.
Donations are voluntary. No goods or services are provided in exchange. Payments are handled by Stripe and are non-refundable except where required by law.
We may decline to generate a story, or remove one, if the request is clearly abusive, harmful, targets a real person maliciously, or violates our values as a service for children. This is rare.
We aim to deliver within 72 hours but can't guarantee specific delivery times. If something goes wrong, reply to any of our emails and we'll sort it.
The service is provided "as is". We make no warranties about the content of any individual story beyond our reasonable best effort. To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount you've paid us (£0 for a free story).
You can stop using the service at any time. If you want your data deleted, email jamie@heartheirname.com.
These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
We may update these Terms. The "Updated" date at the top will reflect any changes.
