1. Agreement to These Terms
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Brainiac Bunch Educational Media LLC, doing business as The Brainiac Bunch ("The Brainiac Bunch," "we," "us" or "our"). They apply to BrainiacBunch.com, our online store, our digital products, our free resources, our emails and our podcasts (together, our "Services").
By using our Services or buying a product, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Refund Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use our Services.
2. Who Can Use Our Services
You must be at least 18 years old to buy products, create an account, sign up for our emails or contact us. Children may enjoy our educational materials and podcasts with the help and supervision of a parent, caregiver or teacher, who is responsible for their use.
3. Our Products
Our products are digital downloads (PDF files, sometimes inside a ZIP file). No physical item is shipped. You'll need a device that can open PDF and ZIP files and a printer, or a print shop, to use them. Product descriptions, page counts and images are as accurate as we can make them, but printed colors and sizes may vary depending on your printer and paper.
4. Your License to Use Our Products
All products, free resources, podcasts, characters (including Nova the Star Cat and the Brainiac Bunch mascots), artwork and text are owned by The Brainiac Bunch or our licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. When you buy or download a product, you get a limited, non-transferable license to use it as described below; you do not buy the copyright.
You may:
✓ Use the product with your own family, or in one classroom (one teacher) per purchase
✓ Print as many copies as you need for your own children or your own students
✓ Share it with your students through a password-protected learning platform used only by your class
You may not:
✕ Share, email, upload or post the files, or any pages from them, for others to download (including on public websites, shared drives, social media or teacher-sharing sites)
✕ Resell, give away, rent or claim our products as your own, whether changed or unchanged
✕ Use one purchase for more than one family, classroom or teacher (please buy additional licenses, or contact us about school licenses)
✕ Use our products, characters or artwork in your own products or for any commercial purpose
✕ Remove our copyright notices or branding
✕ Use our products or content to train or build artificial intelligence or machine learning systems
5. Free Resources
Free downloads (such as coloring books and podcast Listening Guides) follow the same license as paid products. You may share a link to our website, but not the files themselves.
6. Activity Safety
⚠ Safety First: Adult Supervision Required
Our hands-on activities are designed for children to do with an adult, never alone. Please read each activity before starting, and decide whether it is safe and suitable for your child or students.
-
Adult supervision is required for every hands-on activity, experiment, craft and game. Age ranges are suggestions only; you know your child best.
-
Choking hazards: some activities use small objects (such as coins, beads, rice, dry beans, small balls or clay). Children under 3 should not handle small parts, and young children should always be watched closely.
-
Balloons: children under 8 can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons. An adult must supervise, and should throw away broken balloons right away.
-
Scissors, glue and pushpins: adults should supervise the use of scissors and handle any sharp or pointed tools.
-
Food and allergies: some activities use food or kitchen items (such as flour, rice, dough or salt). Check for allergies first, and remind children not to eat activity materials.
-
Lights, heat and glass: lamps and flashlights can get hot; use glass jars and thermometers only with an adult nearby.
-
Sun safety: never look directly at the Sun, with or without binoculars, a telescope, a camera or any lens, even during an eclipse. Use only certified solar eclipse glasses or an indirect viewing method such as a pinhole viewer, with an adult.
-
Outdoor activities: choose a safe location, watch for traffic and weather, and supervise children at all times.
By doing an activity, you agree that you are responsible for supervision, choosing safe materials and deciding whether the activity suits your child. To the fullest extent allowed by law, The Brainiac Bunch is not responsible for injury, illness or damage that results from doing an activity.
7. Educational Content
Our products and podcasts are for general educational and entertainment purposes. We work hard to make them accurate and age-appropriate, but scientific understanding changes, and we can't guarantee that every detail is complete, current or error-free. Any listing of education standards (such as NGSS) is our good-faith opinion of how a resource connects to them. We do not guarantee any particular learning result.
If you find an error, please tell us at [info@thebrainacbunch.com] and we'll fix it.
8. Podcasts
Our podcasts are free and are provided through third-party apps such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube, which have their own terms. Podcast episodes are meant to be enjoyed with a parent, caregiver or teacher nearby, especially when an episode describes a hands-on activity. Section 6 applies to every activity described in an episode.
If you find an error, please tell us at [podcast@thebrainiacbunch.com] and we'll fix it.
9. Orders, Prices and Payment
-
Prices are in U.S. dollars and may change at any time. Taxes are added where required.
-
You agree to give accurate, current information when you order.
-
If a product is listed at the wrong price because of an error, we may cancel the order and refund you.
-
After payment, you'll receive a download link on screen and by email. Download links expire after a set time (currently 30 days), so please save your files.
10. Purchases on Other Platforms
If you buy our products on Teachers Pay Teachers, Etsy or another marketplace, that platform's terms and refund rules apply to your purchase, together with the license in section 4.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THE BRAINIAC BUNCH AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY INJURY, ILLNESS, LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES OR FROM DOING ANY ACTIVITY DESCRIBED IN OUR PRODUCTS OR PODCASTS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT BE MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE PRODUCT INVOLVED IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR $50 IF YOU PAID NOTHING.
