Please read these terms before using Buddha Story. Downloading or using the app means you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. The service

Buddha Story plays narrated Buddhist stories, guided meditations, and sleep sounds, for personal use. Some of the library is included. The rest opens with an auto-renewing subscription from the Apple App Store. There is no account to create. "No account needed" refers to the free library, not to a promise that Apple will start a trial without a payment method.

The app needs a recent iPhone on a supported iOS version. Playback can continue with the screen locked. We may update the stories, the sounds, and the app itself.

2. Subscriptions and the trial

Two subscriptions are defined in the app:

Both plans include a 3-day free trial, then $4.99/month or $39.99/year, which is the sentence in the app. A payment method may be required to start the trial. The cards show the App Store price for your country when the store is connected. The price you pay is the price Apple shows before you confirm the purchase. The figures on this page are the ones written in the app, used when the store price cannot be loaded and named in the trial sentence.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The plan renews unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Apple handles the charge. We do not take card numbers.

3. Cancellation and refunds

You can cancel anytime in Settings on the iPhone, under your Apple ID, Subscriptions. Cancellation stops the next renewal. You keep premium access until the end of the period you already paid for, and the included stories stay included after that.

Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's rules. We do not process App Store refunds ourselves. Restore Purchases, in the paywall and in Settings, asks Apple for a subscription already bought with that Apple ID.

4. Stories, voices, and sounds

The stories and meditations are original retellings and scripts. The plots are old. The wording and the narration are ours. They are not copies of a modern published translation, and they are not public-domain audiobook recordings. The soundscapes ship inside the app.

You may listen for yourself. You may not sell, republish, or redistribute the audio, or strip it out of the app to build another product.

Premium narration is downloaded on first play from https://audio.buddhiststories.app/v1 and stored on your phone so you can hear it again without a connection. We can stop hosting a file if we must. Included audio stays in the app you installed.

5. How to use the app

6. Intellectual property

The app, the Night Lotus artwork, the narration, the screen design, and the Buddha Story name as used here belong to Playza Studios Pte. Ltd., aside from open-source pieces credited in the software. We grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app. Traditional plots remain what they have always been. Our telling of them is ours.

7. Not medical advice

Buddha Story is for rest and quiet listening. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure anything. It is not a substitute for care from a doctor or a therapist. We do not promise that you will fall asleep, or that a night will go a certain way.

The app is provided as it is. A download can fail, a store can be unreachable, and a narrator's file can be missing, in which case the app reads along instead of playing the other voice.

8. Liability

To the extent the law allows, Playza Studios Pte. Ltd. is not liable for indirect or consequential loss from using or being unable to use the app. Where the law does not allow a term like that, the limit is whatever that law still allows. Nothing here removes a right you cannot sign away.

9. Law

These terms are an agreement with Playza Studios Pte. Ltd., the company named in the app. Apple's terms also apply to the download and to any subscription you buy from Apple. Consumer laws where you live still apply where they cannot be waived. The app's source does not name a court or a governing-law country, so this page does not invent one.

10. Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top will change when we do. If you keep using the app after that, the new terms apply. If you do not agree, stop using the app and cancel the subscription in your Apple ID settings.
