4. Advertising

Zuppito Kids may display advertisements, including through Google AdSense, to help support the free stories we publish. These ads are selected to be family-appropriate. We do not control every ad shown and are not responsible for the content or products of third-party advertisers. If you ever see an ad that seems inappropriate for children, please let us know so we can address it.

5. Links to Other Websites

Our site may contain links to third-party websites (such as social media pages or our e-book store). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or safety of websites outside of Zuppito Kids, and we encourage parents to supervise children's browsing.

6. User Conduct

If our site ever includes comments, feedback forms, or similar features, we ask everyone to be kind and respectful — just like our stories teach. We reserve the right to remove any content that is inappropriate, harmful, or unrelated to our community.

7. No Professional Advice

Our stories are written for entertainment, imagination, and gentle life lessons. They are not a substitute for professional educational, developmental, or psychological advice.

8. Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability

Zuppito Kids is provided "as is." While we do our best to keep the site safe, accurate, and enjoyable, we make no guarantees that the site will always be error-free, uninterrupted, or available. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Zuppito Kids and its creators are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time as our site grows. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continuing to use Zuppito Kids after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by applicable laws in the jurisdiction where Zuppito Kids is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
