Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 18, 2026

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. SECTION 14 REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU MAY OPT OUT WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 14.5.

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and HS Advantage LLC, which operates the Homeschool Advantage brand (“we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of our websites, learning portal, curriculum materials, and related services (the “Services”).

By completing a purchase, creating an account, checking a box indicating acceptance, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. You represent that you are at least 18 years old, have the legal capacity to enter this agreement, and are the parent or legal guardian of, or are otherwise authorized to act for, the child you enroll. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference.

2. Definitions

  • “Bundle” means a curriculum package or other product offered through the Services.
  • “Account” means the single account created for one purchased Bundle, owned and controlled by the adult purchaser (the “Account Holder”).
  • “Enrolled Child” means the one child identified by the Account Holder at enrollment for whom the Bundle was purchased.
  • “Household” means the Account Holder and individuals residing at the Account Holder’s primary residence as members of the same family unit. A co-op, learning pod, microschool, classroom, tutoring group, church group, or any group whose members do not reside together is not a Household.
  • “Materials” means all curriculum content, lesson plans, worksheets, assessments, answer keys, schedules, files, media, text, branding, and other content made available through the Services.
  • “Access Term” means 365 days from the date and time of purchase.

3. What We Provide

We provide curriculum materials and related educational resources for homeschooling families, for educational purposes only. The Materials are designed to be used with adult guidance and supervision, and the Account Holder is solely responsible for supervising any child’s use of the Services.

We are not a school, school district, or accredited institution. We do not provide accreditation, transcripts, diplomas, or credentials, and we do not guarantee any academic outcome, grade-level advancement, test result, or admission. You are solely responsible for determining and complying with the homeschooling, notification, testing, and reporting requirements that apply where you live. The Materials provide general educational content and guidance. They are not individualized professional advice and are not a substitute for evaluation or advice from a qualified professional regarding a specific child’s learning, developmental, medical, or psychological needs. Nothing in the Materials is legal advice.

We may update, revise, or discontinue individual Materials during the Access Term, provided the Bundle remains substantially available.

4. Accounts

Each Bundle purchase creates one Account for one Enrolled Child. A separate purchase is required for each additional child, including siblings. Accounts are owned and controlled by the Account Holder, who must be an adult. We do not issue separate credentials to children.

You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information. If information you provide is inaccurate or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect it is, we may suspend or terminate your Account and refuse current or future access. You must keep your credentials confidential, and you are responsible for all activity under your Account, whether or not you authorized it. Notify us promptly at [email protected] of any unauthorized use.

The Materials may be accessed by one authorized user on one device at a time. We may impose, adjust, and enforce technical limits on concurrent sessions, devices, and download activity.

5. Purchase, Access Term, and Payment

Access begins when your purchase is processed and continues for 365 days from the date and time of purchase, after which it ends automatically. Purchases do not renew automatically and we do not charge recurring fees.

Payments are handled by our third-party payment processor. By purchasing, you authorize the processor to charge your selected payment method for the full amount due, including applicable taxes, and you represent that you are authorized to use that payment method. We do not receive or store full payment card numbers. We may change prices, Bundle contents, and availability at any time; changes apply prospectively and do not affect a Bundle already purchased during its Access Term.

6. Refunds

You may request a refund by emailing [email protected] within seven (7) days of the date and time of your purchase. No refunds are available after that seven-day period, except where required by law.

We may decline a refund request where a substantial portion of the Bundle has been accessed, downloaded, or printed; where downloading or copying activity is inconsistent with ordinary personal use; where the requester has previously received a refund or appears to be misusing this policy; or where these Terms have been violated. If a refund is issued, access is revoked immediately and you must delete or destroy all copies you downloaded or printed. Approved refunds are initiated by us and processed by our third-party payment processor to the original payment method; processing times depend on that processor and your financial institution.

7. Chargebacks

If you have a billing concern, contact us first at [email protected]. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting us and allowing a reasonable opportunity to resolve the matter is a breach of these Terms.

We may suspend or terminate an Account immediately upon receipt of a chargeback and may decline future purchases from that Account Holder. Where a chargeback is invalid or reversed in our favor, you are responsible for the disputed amount, any fees charged to us in connection with the dispute, and our reasonable costs of collection including attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law. We may present these Terms and records of your access and use as evidence in any dispute.

8. License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment in full, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access, download, and print the Materials in your purchased Bundle solely for the personal, non-commercial educational use of the Enrolled Child within your Household, and only during the Access Term. This is a license, not a sale; you acquire no ownership interest, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You may print a reasonable number of copies for the Enrolled Child’s own use within your Household, and may retain copies printed during the Access Term for that child’s personal educational records afterward.

9. Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit or assist anyone else to:

  • Copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, transmit, display, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise make the Materials available to anyone outside your Household
  • Use the Materials for or on behalf of a co-op, learning pod, microschool, classroom, tutoring business, library, church group, or other group or organization, or for any commercial purpose
  • Share Account credentials, or allow access by anyone other than the Enrolled Child and supervising adults within your Household
  • Upload or store the Materials on any file-sharing service, shared cloud drive, social platform, curriculum-sharing site, marketplace, or other shared or public location
  • Use the Materials to develop, train, fine-tune, or evaluate any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, or submit the Materials to any such system
  • Create derivative works from, adapt, translate, or incorporate the Materials into other curriculum or products
  • Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright notice, watermark, attribution, or proprietary marking
  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk-download, or use automated means to access or extract the Materials, or download in a volume or manner inconsistent with ordinary personal use
  • Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any access control, authentication, session limit, rate limit, watermark, or security feature
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or underlying structure of any part of the Services
  • Use another person’s Account or credentials, or create additional Accounts in order to extend a single purchase to more than one child
  • Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or connected systems
  • Use the Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, harassing, or abusive purpose, or misrepresent your identity, your relationship to an Enrolled Child, or your eligibility to purchase

10. Ownership, Trademarks, and Copyright Complaints

The Materials and the Services, including all curriculum content, design, sequencing, structure, organization, graphics, images, and branding, are owned by HS Advantage LLC or its licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Homeschool Advantage™ and the Homeschool Advantage logo are trademarks of HS Advantage LLC. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership right or grants any license to use our trademarks or branding without our prior written permission.

We respect the intellectual property of others. If you believe content available through the Services infringes your copyright, email [email protected] with: a description of the work you claim has been infringed; identification and location of the material you believe is infringing; your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf; and your physical or electronic signature. We will investigate and take any action we deem appropriate.

11. Suspension and Termination

Monitoring. We may monitor access to and use of the Services, including login activity, session and device counts, download volume, IP addresses, device information, and access patterns, to detect and investigate violations, unauthorized sharing, and security threats. Materials may contain watermarks or other identifying markers that allow us to trace the source of unauthorized copies.

Our rights. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your Account and access, in whole or in part, immediately and without prior notice, for any reason, including if we determine in our reasonable judgment that you have violated the letter or spirit of these Terms, that your Account has been used to share or distribute Materials without authorization, that a chargeback has been initiated, that your use poses a security or legal risk, or that suspension is necessary to comply with law. We may also decline to provide the Services to any person and may refuse or cancel any order. We will not exercise this right in a manner that discriminates on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, familial status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal or state law.

No refund on termination for cause. If we suspend or terminate for a violation of these Terms, you are not entitled to any refund and the remaining Access Term is forfeited. This does not limit any other remedy available to us.

Effect. On termination or expiration, your license ends immediately and you must stop all use of the Materials and delete or destroy all downloaded copies, except that a Household whose Access Term expires in the ordinary course may retain printed copies as permitted in Section 8. We may delete Account data, including access and progress records, as described in our Privacy Policy; once deleted, it cannot be recovered. You may close your Account at any time by emailing [email protected], which does not entitle you to a refund except as provided in Section 6.

12. Enforcement and Remedies

You acknowledge that unauthorized copying, distribution, or disclosure of the Materials would cause us immediate and irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate. In addition to any other relief, we are entitled to seek temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance, without posting a bond and without proving actual damages.

Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of the Materials may constitute copyright infringement carrying statutory damages and other remedies under the United States Copyright Act, and may give rise to claims under state law. We reserve the right to pursue all available civil and criminal remedies. In any action to enforce these Terms or arising from a breach of them, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and costs to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our rights and remedies are cumulative and in addition to those available at law or in equity, and our failure or delay in enforcing any provision is not a waiver of it.

13. Indemnification, Disclaimers, and Limitation of Liability

Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HS Advantage LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Services or Materials, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or any use of the Materials by any person to whom you provided access. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any such matter at your expense, and you agree to cooperate.

THE SERVICES AND MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE MATERIALS WILL BE SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR CHILD OR EDUCATIONAL APPROACH.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of the above may not apply to you, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. You are responsible for all educational decisions you make for your child. We are not responsible for third-party services or linked websites, or for interruptions or losses caused by them.

14. Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

14.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration or any other proceeding, you agree to email [email protected] with a written description of the dispute and the relief sought, and to allow us sixty (60) days to resolve it informally. This is a condition precedent to arbitration, and the limitations period is tolled during this time.

14.2 Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 14.4, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or the Materials will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section. Arbitration will be before a single arbitrator and, unless the parties agree otherwise, will take place in the county of your residence or, at your election, by telephone, videoconference, or written submissions. The arbitrator may award any relief available in an individual court action, and the award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.3 CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS.

If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in court, and all other claims will proceed in arbitration.

14.4 Exceptions. This Section does not require arbitration of claims brought in small claims court while they remain individual and in that court; claims arising out of actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights, including the license restrictions in Sections 8 and 9; or requests for injunctive or other equitable relief, which may be brought in court.

14.5 Opt-out. You may opt out of Sections 14.2 and 14.3 by emailing [email protected] with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, including your name and the email address associated with your Account. Opting out does not affect any other provision or your access to the Services.

14.6 Jury waiver and time limit. To the extent any claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a trial by jury. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be brought within one (1) year after it arose or is permanently barred.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and by applicable federal law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

For any claim not subject to arbitration under Section 14, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts located in Orange County, New York, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and waive any objection to those venues on grounds of inconvenient forum.

The Services are intended for users in the United States. We make no representation that they are appropriate or available elsewhere, and you are responsible for compliance with local law if you access them from outside the United States.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will post the revised Terms and update the “Last Updated” date, and if changes are material we will provide notice, such as by email to the address associated with your Account or a prominent notice on our website, before they take effect. Changes apply prospectively. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to revised Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using the Services.

17. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any terms presented at purchase, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will remain in force. You may not assign these Terms or your Account without our written consent; we may assign freely, including in connection with a merger, financing, or sale of assets. Sections 7 through 15 and 17, and any provision that by its nature should survive, survive termination.

We are not liable for failures or delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control. You consent to receive communications from us electronically and agree that electronic communications and agreements satisfy any requirement that they be in writing; we may give notice to the email address associated with your Account, and notices to us must be sent to [email protected]. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these Terms. Headings are for convenience only.
