Terms of Service

Effective Date: February 2026

Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Manipulatives.com and its related subscription services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Changes to These Terms and the Services

We may update these Terms from time to time. Any changes are effective when posted. Your continued use of the Services after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time.

Privacy

Your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.

Eligibility

If you are creating or managing a subscription account, you represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction).

Membership Services

  1. Account Terms. Certain parts of the Services require a subscription account (“Account”). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your Account.

    If the maximum number of concurrent classroom sessions is reached, a new login may automatically sign out the earliest active session.

    We reserve the right to suspend or terminate Accounts that violate these Terms or are used in a way that harms the Services or other users.

  2. Classroom Access / Shared Login. A subscription may include access for one (1) primary adult account holder (“Admin”) and up to thirty (30) concurrent users using shared classroom login credentials (“Classroom Login”), as presented within the Services. The Admin is responsible for managing and sharing classroom access appropriately.

    You agree not to submit or provide students’ personal information to us (including names or email addresses), especially for children under the age of 13. Students should use the shared classroom login and do not need individual accounts.

  3. Fees. Subscription fees are billed on a recurring basis (“Subscription Period”) at the rate presented at checkout. We may change pricing with notice, effective at the end of your then-current Subscription Period. If you do not agree to a pricing change, you may cancel before the renewal.

    We do not provide price protection or refunds for existing subscribers in the event of a price drop or a promotional offer for new subscribers.

  4. Payments. Payments are processed through third-party payment providers (for example, Stripe). Your use of third-party payment services is subject to their terms and policies. We do not store full payment card details on our servers.

  5. Renewal and Cancellation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the end of the current Subscription Period. You may cancel at any time through your account/subscription management page. You will retain access until the end of the current Subscription Period.

Intellectual Property

The Services and all related content, features, and functionality (“Services Content”) are owned by us and/or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Your use of the Services does not grant you any ownership rights in the Services Content.

Your Use of the Services

The Services are provided for personal, classroom, and non-commercial educational use by authorized users. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or exploit any part of the Services except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by law.

  • reverse engineer, decompile, decrypt, or attempt to derive source code from the Services where not permitted by law.

Third-Party Services

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for third-party content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

Enforcement, Suspension, and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms or if it is necessary to protect the Services, users, or our rights.
