Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 11, 2026

Welcome to Pear Tree Academy! By accessing our online store or purchasing our educational resources, you agree to the following Terms of Service.

1. About Pear Tree Academy

Pear Tree Academy provides downloadable educational resources, printable worksheets, classroom materials, and learning activities for parents, homeschool families, tutors, and educators.

Our online store is hosted by Shopify.

2. Digital Products

All products sold through Pear Tree Academy are digital downloads unless otherwise stated.

  • No physical products will be shipped.

  • Digital files are generally available after successful payment.

  • Customers are responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate software and equipment to open and print purchased files.

  • Product descriptions identify the materials included in each purchase.

3. Personal and Classroom Use

Unless a product description or separate license states otherwise, purchasing a resource grants the customer a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use it for personal educational purposes or with students they directly teach.

You may:

  • Print copies for your own children or students you directly teach.

  • Use resources in your homeschool, classroom, or tutoring sessions.

  • Display purchased materials during your own educational instruction.

You may not:

  • Resell, redistribute, or share the digital files with other individuals.

  • Upload purchased files to public websites, shared drives, or file-sharing platforms.

  • Claim Pear Tree Academy materials as your own creations.

  • Modify and resell the materials or incorporate them into products offered for sale.

  • Distribute purchased files throughout an entire school or organization without appropriate licensing or permission.

Copyright and other intellectual property rights remain with Pear Tree Academy or the applicable rights holders.

4. Payments and Pricing

All prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Payment must be completed before digital resources are delivered.

We reserve the right to change product prices, descriptions, and availability at any time. Changes will not affect purchases already completed.

5. Refunds and Cancellations

Because digital products can be accessed immediately after purchase, sales are generally final once files have been delivered, except where required by applicable law.

If a purchased file is missing, damaged, incorrect, or unusable, please contact us so we can help resolve the issue.

Please review our separate Return and Refund Policy for additional information.

6. Download Access

Customers are responsible for saving their purchased resources after downloading them.

If you experience technical difficulties accessing a purchase, contact Pear Tree Academy with your order information.

We may provide replacement download access when reasonably necessary.

7. Educational Disclaimer

Pear Tree Academy resources are intended to support teaching and learning.

We do not guarantee particular academic results, improvements in grades, or outcomes from using our products.

Parents and educators are responsible for selecting materials appropriate for their students' ages, abilities, and educational needs.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, original educational content, designs, and materials created by Pear Tree Academy are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Purchasing a product does not transfer ownership of its copyright or grant permission for commercial redistribution.

Third-party trademarks, images, or materials, where applicable, remain the property of their respective owners.

9. Website Use

You agree not to use our website or services for unlawful activities, interfere with website security, or attempt to access information or systems without authorization.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pear Tree Academy is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from the use or inability to use our educational resources or website.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

11. Privacy

Your use of our website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is collected, used, and protected.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service periodically. Updated terms will be posted on our website with a revised effective date.
