The rules for using BoardCraft.

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service apply to BoardCraft, the online classroom bulletin board, printable decor, and teacher-seller design service available at boardcraft.app. In these Terms, "BoardCraft," "we," "us," and "our" refer to BoardCraft as the operator of the Service.

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use BoardCraft. These Terms work together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Refund Policy, pricing pages, checkout disclosures, and any feature-specific terms we present to you.

2. Who May Use BoardCraft

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to create a BoardCraft account.

If you use BoardCraft on behalf of a school, district, business, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on that entity's behalf. In that case, "you" includes both you and that entity.

BoardCraft is intended for adult teachers, homeschool educators, educational resource creators, teacher-sellers, schools, and similar users. It is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum age required by applicable law.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for:

• Providing accurate and current account information.
• Keeping your password, sign-in method, and account credentials confidential.
• Maintaining control over devices used to access your account.
• Promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized access.
• Ensuring that your use of BoardCraft complies with applicable laws and these Terms.

We may require email verification before allowing access to certain features. You may not create an account using false information, impersonate another person, share account access in a way that bypasses plan limits, or use another user's account without permission.

4. The BoardCraft Service

BoardCraft provides tools that allow users to create, save, organize, edit, export, share, and, where available, publish classroom bulletin boards, printable classroom decor, templates, and related educational design materials.

Image Inserts let you combine an image with decorative artwork by manually positioning it inside an overlay, then save or export the resulting design.

Features, export options, storage limits, template-sharing rights, asset access, upload limits, commercial-use permissions, and other functionality may vary by plan. We may modify, improve, suspend, remove, or discontinue features at any time. Where a change materially affects a paid subscription, we will provide notice where required by law.

5. Free, Teacher, and Seller Plans

BoardCraft may offer free and paid plans, including Teacher and Seller plans. Current plan availability, pricing, feature limits, export allowances, storage limits, asset access, template functionality, and commercial-use permissions are described on the applicable pricing, upgrade, subscription, or checkout page.

You are responsible for selecting a plan appropriate for your intended use. We may enforce plan restrictions through technical controls, including limits on boards, exports, uploads, storage, template publishing, asset access, or Seller-only features.

You may not bypass, disable, interfere with, or attempt to circumvent any plan restriction, export counter, paywall, security measure, content-protection system, or access-control mechanism.

6. Payments, Renewals, Cancellations, and Refunds

Paid subscriptions are sold and billed through Freemius, which acts as merchant of record for its transactions. The transaction seller, applicable purchase terms, taxes, and invoice details are identified at checkout and on your receipt. BoardCraft provides the Service and the content licenses described here. By purchasing a subscription, you authorize the billing provider to charge the payment method you provide for applicable fees, taxes, and renewal charges.

Unless otherwise stated at checkout:

• Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle.
• You may cancel renewal through your BoardCraft account, billing portal, or the method provided by the billing provider.
• Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period.
• You retain access to paid features until the end of the paid period unless your account is suspended or terminated under these Terms.
• Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated in our Refund Policy.

Eligible new subscribers may try Teacher free for seven days. A payment method is required. Freemius determines eligibility; previous trial or subscription history may make you ineligible. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, Freemius automatically charges the selected monthly or annual Teacher subscription price, plus applicable tax, and the subscription then renews automatically. Checkout shows the amount, billing interval, and conversion date. Manage or cancel from your subscription settings or the billing portal before that date to avoid the first charge. Trial access is limited to its stated access-through date. Seller has no free trial, and the Teacher trial grants no Seller features or commercial-use rights.

The voluntary 14-day first-purchase refund window starts on the date of your first paid subscription charge, including the first charge after a free trial, rather than the trial start date. Its eligibility requirements and statutory exceptions are in the Refund Policy.

Before confirming a plan upgrade, review the charges, credits, billing interval, and access changes shown at checkout. Do not assume an upgrade is free or that unused time produces a cash refund. Seller-to-Teacher downgrades are not currently supported through BoardCraft checkout; contact support for available options. When paid access expires, Free plan limits apply to your saved boards, exports, uploads, and feature access. Content is not automatically deleted because access expires, but you may be unable to add boards or uploads above Free limits or use paid-only features. Shared-template links require the publisher's active Seller access; copies already made remain independent.

We will give you direct notice by email or an account notification at least 30 days before increasing your subscription price. An increase applies no earlier than the renewal identified in that notice and does not change the price of a paid period already purchased. You may cancel renewal before the increase takes effect. Changes required earlier by law or necessary to address urgent security issues will be explained as soon as reasonably practicable. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

Refund requests are governed by our Refund Policy. To request a refund, email refund@boardcraft.app with the email address on your account and any purchase details that can help us find the charge.

Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer right you may have under applicable law. Where applicable law requires express consent before immediate access to digital services begins, we may request that consent during checkout.

7. Your Content

"User Content" means any content you create, upload, save, publish, share, submit, export, or otherwise make available through BoardCraft, including:

• Boards and board designs.
• Text, names, classroom content, and project metadata.
• Uploaded images and artwork, including photographs, face and student photos, graphics, files, and media.
• Image Insert image placements, positioning settings, and resulting composite designs, subject to the separate rights in BoardCraft Assets.
• Templates, thumbnails, exports, and template-share content.
• Comments, feedback, support messages, and other communications.

You retain ownership of the User Content you create or upload, subject to the rights you grant in these Terms.

You grant BoardCraft a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, modify solely as technically necessary, display, transmit, create backups of, and otherwise use your User Content solely to operate, secure, maintain, improve, and provide the Service.

This license ends when your User Content is deleted from the Service, except to the extent it remains in an active shared template, copied board, export, backup, cache, audit record, or retained record needed for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, enforcement, or reasonable technical deletion timelines.

8. Your Responsibility for User Content

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have all necessary rights, permissions, licenses, and consents to use, upload, publish, export, sell, and share your User Content.
• Your User Content does not infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contractual, school, student, or other rights.
• You have a lawful basis to process any personal information included in your User Content.
• You have obtained any necessary consent from students, parents, schools, employers, clients, or other individuals whose information appears in your content.
• Your User Content does not contain unlawful, harmful, defamatory, abusive, discriminatory, deceptive, infringing, or malicious material.

You are solely responsible for User Content that you upload, publish, share, export, sell, distribute, or otherwise use.

For Image Inserts, you must have the necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to use the source image or artwork for your intended purpose. If an image depicts a person, you must also have permission or other lawful authority to use their likeness. These responsibilities apply to new uploads and images reused from My Uploads or Previous Image Insert uploads, the former student-photo vault.

Permission to use a photo in classroom materials does not automatically authorize public sharing, advertising, sale, or other distribution. Obtain any additional rights and permissions needed for each use. Access to a Seller plan does not grant rights to another person's image, artwork, or likeness.

9. Student Data and Sensitive Information

BoardCraft may be used to create classroom materials. You must not upload student data, student photos, health information, disability information, government identification numbers, financial information, or other sensitive information unless you have a clear legal basis and all necessary permissions.

If you use BoardCraft on behalf of a school, district, or educational organization, you are responsible for determining whether a data-processing agreement, student-data agreement, parental consent, school authorization, record-retention rule, or other documentation is required.

Before using a student's photo in an Image Insert, obtain any required parental or guardian consent and school authorization, including permission for the intended use and distribution. BoardCraft does not obtain or verify parental or guardian consent on your behalf.

You remain responsible for complying with education, privacy, child-protection, marketplace, and record-retention laws that apply to your school, organization, students, customers, or sales channels. Nothing in this section replaces or limits BoardCraft's own obligations under applicable law.

10. Shared Templates

Seller-plan users may be able to publish boards as cloneable templates or create shareable template links. When you share a template:

• Anyone with the share link may be able to view or clone the template.
• You are responsible for ensuring the template does not contain confidential information, student information, personal data, or third-party material you are not authorized to disclose.
• You grant BoardCraft the rights necessary to host, display, process, preserve dependencies for, and distribute the shared template through the Service.
• Users who clone your template may create their own copies, subject to these Terms.
• Copies made by other users may remain in their accounts after you remove, modify, or unpublish the original template.

By publishing a template, you grant recipients a non-exclusive license to copy and edit it within BoardCraft and print completed designs for their own classroom or personal educational use. You retain ownership of your original content. This default license does not permit resale, resharing of the template or its link, extraction of BoardCraft Assets, or sublicensing of your content. Commercial use requires both your express permission for your original content and the recipient's active Seller plan, subject to section 11. Separate creator terms may grant additional rights in that creator's own content, but cannot expand rights in BoardCraft Assets, bypass plan limits, or override applicable law. Existing permitted classroom copies may continue to be used after the publisher stops sharing or loses Seller access.

When you share a board as a template, images attached to Image Insert elements are removed from the shared template and replaced with placeholders. This does not remove photos placed as ordinary images, photos contained in flattened images or exports, student names, or other personal content. You must review the template and its preview before sharing. Your own board and its exports can still contain the images, and you remain responsible for their use and distribution.

BoardCraft may remove, disable, restrict, or review a shared template if we reasonably believe it violates these Terms, creates legal risk, infringes rights, or harms the Service or its users.

11. BoardCraft Assets and Library Content

BoardCraft may provide clipart, borders, banners, letter sets, patterns, fonts, SVG shapes, templates, graphics, Image Insert overlays and decorative artwork, and other design assets ("BoardCraft Assets").

Subject to your plan and compliance with these Terms, BoardCraft grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use BoardCraft Assets within boards and completed exports created through the Service.

Unless we explicitly state otherwise in writing, you may not:

• Sell, sublicense, distribute, share, transfer, or redistribute BoardCraft Assets as standalone files.
• Extract, download, scrape, copy, package, or make BoardCraft Assets available as a clipart set, font file, letter set, template bundle, design resource, or competing library.
• Claim ownership of BoardCraft Assets.
• Use BoardCraft Assets to create a competing asset library, template marketplace, editor, or downloadable resource collection.
• Remove copyright, trademark, attribution, watermark, ownership, or licensing notices.
• Use BoardCraft Assets in a way that suggests BoardCraft endorses you, your business, your marketplace shop, or your products.

Free and Teacher plans, including the Teacher trial, permit personal classroom and educational use. An active Seller plan permits creation and distribution of finished educational resources containing BoardCraft Assets, such as composed classroom posters, worksheets, bulletin-board designs, and printable decor. Authorized cloneable template sharing inside BoardCraft under section 10 is also permitted. These permissions are exceptions to the restrictions above only for those uses; they do not authorize competing template or asset libraries.

Export Asset Bundle supplies separate pieces for you to compose into finished educational resources. Downloading a piece does not grant permission to distribute it as a standalone asset. For example, you may use exported clipart and text to create a completed worksheet; you may not sell or share the clipart PNGs, letter sets, font files, or a minimally changed asset pack as design resources for others. Resizing, recoloring, cropping, or merely changing the file format does not turn a library asset into a finished resource. Outside authorized BoardCraft template sharing, distribute completed designs in a flattened form that does not intentionally provide library assets for extraction or reuse. Customers may print finished bulletin-board pieces; that is not a license to reuse them as a clipart library.

After ordinary cancellation or expiry, you may continue selling and supplying finished resources exported while your Seller access was valid. Creating new commercial products using BoardCraft Assets requires active Seller access. This continuing license does not restore paid features or hosted template links. If a full refund ends a Seller period, commercial permission for products exported during the refunded period ends for future sales or distribution. Previously supplied buyers may keep their permitted use; products exported during earlier unrefunded Seller periods retain their license. Partial refunds, tax refunds, and billing corrections do not by themselves revoke the license. Any separately agreed access or licensing changes follow the Refund Policy and mandatory law. A refund does not authorize new sales merely because a file remains on your device. We may restrict or revoke rights for infringement, fraud, or other license violations, subject to applicable law and affected third-party rights.

Identified third-party and open-source asset or font licenses remain applicable and may provide different rights or require attribution. We do not claim ownership of your uploaded content, nor restrict rights independently granted by its owner outside BoardCraft. You must have the necessary licenses for everything included in a product.

12. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, features, interface, branding, logos, workflows, editor tools, code, design system, BoardCraft Assets, documentation, and content created by or for BoardCraft, is owned by BoardCraft or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Except for the limited license expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you. "BoardCraft," the BoardCraft logo, and associated brand elements are trademarks, trade dress, or brand identifiers of BoardCraft or its licensors. You may not use them without prior written permission except as necessary to identify BoardCraft accurately.

13. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Service to:

• Violate laws, regulations, third-party rights, or these Terms.
• Upload or distribute infringing, stolen, unlawful, defamatory, abusive, hateful, sexually explicit, exploitative, or harmful material.
• Use Image Inserts or other tools to impersonate someone without authorization, falsely suggest their endorsement, harass or humiliate them through manipulated images, or create sexual or exploitative depictions of any person.
• Upload malware, ransomware, spyware, viruses, malicious code, or harmful files.
• Interfere with, disrupt, damage, overload, reverse engineer, probe, or compromise the Service.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, data, systems, APIs, admin tooling, or restricted features.
• Use bots, scripts, scrapers, crawlers, automation, or data-mining tools without our written permission.
• Circumvent usage limits, subscription controls, security features, export restrictions, or content-protection systems.
• Use the Service to create or distribute deceptive, fraudulent, illegal, or misleading materials.
• Collect personal information about other users without authorization.
• Use BoardCraft Assets or the Service to develop, train, benchmark, or support a competing product or service without our written permission.
• Resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or provide access to the Service except as expressly permitted.

We may investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action, including suspending accounts, removing content, blocking access, preserving evidence, and reporting suspected unlawful activity to appropriate authorities.

14. Third-Party Services

BoardCraft relies on third-party services for functions such as authentication, cloud storage, media delivery, billing, email delivery, security, analytics, monitoring, marketing automation, search, and AI-assisted internal metadata workflows.

Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms, privacy policies, and contractual requirements. We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, their content, or their acts or omissions, but we use reasonable care when selecting service providers necessary to operate BoardCraft.

15. Feedback

If you provide suggestions, ideas, feature requests, comments, or feedback about BoardCraft, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and incorporate that feedback without restriction or compensation. You are not required to provide feedback.

16. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using BoardCraft at any time.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service if we reasonably believe that:

• You violated these Terms or applicable law.
• Your account presents a security, fraud, misuse, payment, or legal risk.
• You used the Service in a way that may harm BoardCraft, users, service providers, or third parties.
• You failed to pay applicable fees.
• We are required to do so by law, court order, or government authority.

Where reasonably practicable, we will provide notice before suspension or termination. We may act without prior notice where necessary to protect the Service, users, security, or legal rights.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions about intellectual property, User Content, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, governing law, and disputes.

17. Service Availability and Backups

We aim to provide a reliable Service, but we do not guarantee that BoardCraft will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or compatible with every device, browser, file type, printer, marketplace, or operating system.

We may perform maintenance, updates, security changes, infrastructure changes, or feature changes that temporarily affect availability. You are responsible for maintaining copies of important User Content and exports. BoardCraft is not a substitute for your own backup process.

18. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available." BoardCraft disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, title, and quiet enjoyment.

We do not guarantee that:

• The Service will meet your specific needs.
• Designs, exports, colors, dimensions, fonts, trimming, or print results will be identical across devices, printers, browsers, or third-party platforms.
• BoardCraft Assets will be suitable for every commercial, educational, marketplace, or licensing use.
• Shared templates, user-created content, or third-party materials are accurate, lawful, non-infringing, or appropriate.
• The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or free from errors.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, these exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

19. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BoardCraft, its affiliates, licensors, service providers, officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or reputation.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BoardCraft's total liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to BoardCraft for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or USD $100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, death, personal injury, or mandatory statutory consumer rights where applicable.

20. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BoardCraft, its affiliates, licensors, service providers, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to:

• Your User Content.
• Your use of the Service.
• Your violation of these Terms.
• Your violation of applicable law.
• Your infringement or alleged infringement of another person's rights.
• Your use of student, school, customer, or third-party data.
• Your sale, publication, distribution, or sharing of materials created through BoardCraft.

We may assume control of the defense of any matter subject to indemnification. You agree to cooperate with our defense.

21. Copyright and Rights Complaints

If you believe content available through BoardCraft infringes your copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights, email a written complaint to support@boardcraft.app with the subject line "IP Complaint."

Your complaint should include:

• Your name and contact information.
• A description of the work or right you believe has been infringed.
• The location or link to the allegedly infringing content.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized.
• A statement that the information in your complaint is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the rights holder.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We may remove or restrict access to allegedly infringing material while reviewing a complaint. We may also terminate or restrict accounts of repeat infringers where appropriate.

When we remove or restrict your content following a rights complaint, we will notify you through your account or email where reasonably practicable, unless prohibited by law or where disclosure would create a security or privacy risk. To dispute a mistaken removal, email support@boardcraft.app with the subject "Removal Review", identify the content and notice, explain the mistake, and provide any permission, license, or other supporting information. We will review the response and may request further information or restore content where appropriate. Information may be shared with the complainant where necessary and lawful to resolve the dispute. This general process does not replace any applicable statutory notice or counter-notification procedure.

22. Disputes, Governing Law, and Jurisdiction

Before filing a legal claim, you agree to contact us at support@boardcraft.app and provide a written description of the issue. The parties will try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days before either party begins formal legal proceedings, unless urgent injunctive or protective relief is necessary.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Morocco, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory local consumer law gives you rights that cannot be waived. Any non-consumer dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be subject to the courts located in Casablanca, Morocco, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim in another forum.

23. Electronic Communications

By using BoardCraft, you agree that we may send notices, disclosures, agreements, invoices, account messages, billing updates, security notices, and other communications electronically, including by email, dashboard notification, checkout flow, account area, or posting within the Service.

You agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing, to the extent permitted by law.

24. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and version and give existing users direct notice by email or an account notification at least 30 days before the changes take effect. The notice will identify the effective date and material changes. Posting a revised page alone is not our direct notice. Changes required earlier by law or necessary to address urgent security issues may take effect sooner, with notice as soon as reasonably practicable. Changes do not retroactively reduce existing purchase rights or lawful licenses in completed exports, except where required by law or for license violations covered by these Terms.

If you continue using the Service after updated Terms become effective, you agree to the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

25. General Terms

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Refund Policy, pricing information, checkout disclosures, and any additional terms presented for specific features, form the entire agreement between you and BoardCraft regarding the Service.

Mandatory law takes precedence. Specific third-party asset licenses govern those assets; the Refund Policy governs voluntary refunds; checkout governs the disclosed transaction price, billing interval, and adjustments; and these Terms govern use of the Service and BoardCraft Assets. Creator terms govern only rights in that creator's original content. Pricing summaries and promotional copy do not expand asset licenses or override these protections.

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or operation of the Service.

26. Contact Us

For questions about these Terms, contact BoardCraft at support@boardcraft.app. Refund requests may also be sent to refund@boardcraft.app.
