Terms & Conditions

The Inquiry Studio

Effective date: September 1, 2026

Welcome to www.inquirystudio.org. These terms explain the ground rules for using our website. By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

About our website

The Inquiry Studio is a small US business. We make curriculum for middle and high school teachers, along with books, merch and other resources for teachers and families.

Our website shares information about our work and links to the shops where our products are sold. We don't sell anything or take payments on this site.

The site is meant for adults, such as teachers and parents.

Using the site

You're welcome to browse, read and sign up for our email lists. When you use the site, please don't:

• Break any law or use the site for anything harmful or fraudulent
• Try to hack, disrupt or overload the site, or get into areas you're not meant to access
• Use bots or scrapers to copy content from the site
• Send spam, harmful code or abusive messages through our forms
• Pretend to be someone else when you contact us

We may limit or block access to the site for anyone who misuses it.

Our content and the frog

Everything on this site belongs to The Inquiry Studio unless we say otherwise. That includes text, lesson ideas, images, illustrations, designs, logos and our frog mascot. These are protected by copyright and trademark laws.

You may view our pages and share links to them. Please don't copy, republish, sell or adapt our content or images, or use our name, logo or frog mascot, without our written permission. Want to use something? Just ask through our Contact page.

Products bought from other shops

Our products are sold through the shops we link to, such as TPT, Amazon and Fourthwall, and each shop's own terms apply to your purchase. That includes how you may use a resource, as well as orders, payment, shipping, returns and refunds.

If you have a question about something you bought, the shop you bought it from is usually the best place to start. You're always welcome to contact us too.

Freebies and our email lists

Free resources we share, on the site or through our email lists, are for personal and single-classroom use only. Please don't share, repost, resell or upload them anywhere, including school or district sites. If a colleague would like a copy, they can get their own by signing up or from our TPT store.

You can unsubscribe from our email lists at any time. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

Outside links

Our site links to websites we don't own or control. We aren't responsible for their content, products, policies or practices. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you visit them.

If you believe something on our site uses your work without permission, contact us through our Contact page. We'll review it and remove it if needed.

Educational information

We work hard to make our content accurate and useful, but it's offered for general educational purposes. Teachers and parents should use their own judgment about what fits their students, school policies and safety needs, especially for hands-on or outdoor activities. We may correct or update content at any time.

No warranties

We provide the site "as is" and "as available." We do our best, but we can't promise the site will always be available, error-free or free of viruses, or that every piece of information is complete and current. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind about the site.

Limits of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, The Inquiry Studio isn't liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for any loss, that comes from using (or not being able to use) this website or sites it links to. Some places don't allow certain limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through the site and how we use it. It's part of these terms.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we'll post the new version on this page and update the effective date. If you keep using the site after changes are posted, you're agreeing to the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina and applicable US federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about these terms or the site will be handled in the courts of South Carolina.

General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a part of these terms right away, that doesn't mean we give up the right to do so later.
