Draft for review. Items marked [OPEN] depend on decisions not yet made (legal entity, governing law, permitted use, commerce platform). These terms must be reviewed, ideally by a lawyer, before launch.
1. About These Terms
These terms govern your use of https://thehomeschoolbarn.com/ and the free and paid resources offered on it. The website is operated by [OPEN: legal entity name] (“The Home School Barn,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the website or downloading a resource, you agree to these terms.
2. What We Offer
The Home School Barn publishes printable, downloadable learning resources for children, mainly as PDF files: free resources, individual paid resources and curated collections.
The resources are designed to stand alone. They are not a curriculum, are not tied to a particular educational method, and do not promise any specific educational outcome. You decide whether a resource suits your child and how to use it. Age ranges are a guide only.

5. Permitted Use of Resources
When you download a free resource or buy a resource, you receive a licence to use it, not ownership of it.
[OPEN: permitted use. Decide and state whether a resource may be used with more than one child, by a household, in a classroom or co-op, and how many times it may be printed.]
Unless we say otherwise in writing, you may not:
- resell, share, upload or redistribute the files, whether free or paid;
- claim the resources as your own work;
- use the resources, or any part of them, in a commercial product or service.

8. Use of the Website
You agree not to misuse the website, interfere with its operation, try to access it by unauthorized means, or use it for anything unlawful.
9. Accuracy and Safety
We take care to make our resources accurate and clear. Some resources suggest activities to do with children. An adult should supervise activities and judge whether they are suitable and safe for each child, including any materials used.
10. Disclaimers
