Terms of Service

• Teachers and schools: if you create a class, you confirm that you are a teacher or school staff member allowed to use Tinkerelle with your students, and that your school has authorized it for an educational purpose. You are responsible for how your class uses Tinkerelle and for sharing class codes and secret codes only with your students.
• Individual learners: you must be 13 or older to have your own account. A child under 13 may use Tinkerelle outside school only through an account their parent or guardian creates and manages with the parent's own email address, and pays for. If you are 13 to 17, you confirm that a parent or guardian has agreed to these terms.
• Classroom students use Tinkerelle through their teacher's class and don't need an email address.

Keep your password and secret code private; they are how you sign in. Tell your teacher or us if you think someone else is using your account. Teachers can give a student a new secret code.

• Prices are shown on the Pricing page in U.S. dollars. Plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly) until you cancel. Plans are sold through Stripe Managed Payments: Stripe is the seller of record, calculates and collects sales tax, and its own terms also apply to your purchase.
• You can cancel at any time from the Billing page in your account. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for.
• Schools can pay for a Classroom plan by invoice instead. The plan starts right away and the invoice is due within 30 days. Invoiced plans are sold by Tinkerelle LLC directly (not through Managed Payments); if your school is tax-exempt, email us its exemption certificate. If an invoice isn't paid, the plan ends and the class's students can no longer sign in.
• A Classroom plan covers up to 30 students across the teacher's classes. Students use Tinkerelle free through their teacher's plan while it is active.
• Payments are non-refundable except where the law, Stripe's terms as seller of record, or these terms say otherwise, or we agree in writing. If something went wrong, email us and we'll do our best to make it right.
• We may change prices for future billing periods. We'll tell you before a change affects your plan, and you can cancel before it does.

• We print and ship sheets ourselves, currently only within the United States.
• Sheets are printed from the designs you submit, at the sizes shown in the studio. Colors and sizes may vary slightly from what you see on screen.
• If your sheets arrive damaged or misprinted, email us within 30 days of delivery and we'll reprint them or refund the order.
• Only teachers and individual learners can order prints; students cannot.

You own the code and designs you create. You give us permission to store, display, and print them as needed to run Tinkerelle — for example, to save your work, show it to your teacher and class, show designs you publish in the gallery, and print sheets you order. This permission ends when your work is deleted, except for copies we must keep for orders and legal records.

When a classroom student publishes a design, their class and teacher can see it. When a teacher or individual learner publishes one, other signed-in teachers and learners can see it and its project name, with the author shown as "Designer". You can unpublish it from your Sticker Sheet page, or email us to take it down.

• Put personal information — yours or anyone else's — in code, project names, or designs.
• Publish anything hurtful, hateful, sexual, violent, or that copies someone else's work without permission.
• Try to get into other people's accounts, guess secret codes, or get around plan limits or security measures.
• Disrupt or overload the service, or use it to harm anyone.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules. For students, we'll work with their teacher where we can.

Tinkerelle's software, lessons, examples, name, and logo belong to Tinkerelle LLC. You may use them only to use Tinkerelle as intended. We may improve, change, or stop features over time; if we stop a paid feature you rely on, we'll give a fair refund for the unused part of your plan.

You can stop using Tinkerelle at any time and delete your account from your Account page, or ask us to delete it. Deleting an account cancels its plan right away. We may suspend or close accounts that seriously or repeatedly break these terms. What happens to your information is explained in the Privacy Policy.

We work hard to keep Tinkerelle running well, but it is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties beyond those in these terms, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the extent the law allows, Tinkerelle is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits. Our total liability for any claim relating to Tinkerelle is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere. Please contact us first; most problems can be solved quickly.

We may update these terms. If a change is material, we'll update the date above and tell teachers and account holders before it takes effect. Continuing to use Tinkerelle after that means you accept the new terms.
