Terms of service

1. Who can use WordCurious

In these terms, “we” means WordCurious.com, which runs wordcurious.com, and “you” means the adult using it.

Accounts are for adults 18 or older: teachers, parents and tutors. Students use WordCurious without accounts, through a teacher’s link or code, and never sign up or sign in.

2. Your account

You sign in with Google or with a link we email you, so keep that email account secure. You’re responsible for what happens in your account. If you think someone else has used it, email hello@wordcurious.com.

3. Your lists

You own your lists. You let us store and process them only to run WordCurious: to play audio, write sentences and definitions, and build games and printables. We never sell them.

Lists are for words. Please don’t add students’ names or other personal information about students.

4. Ready-made lists and printables

Our ready-made lists and printables are free to use with your own students or children, in class or at home. Print as many copies as you need, but please don’t resell them, on their own or as part of something else.

5. Plus subscriptions

Plus prices are in US dollars and listed on our pricing page.

• Polar, our payment partner, runs checkout, sends your receipts and adds sales tax or VAT where it applies.
• Plus renews automatically each month or year until you cancel.
• You can cancel any time in Billing. Plus stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
• You can get a refund on an annual plan within 14 days of buying it. Just email us.

6. Acceptable use

Please use WordCurious the way it’s meant to be used. Don’t:

• put anything hateful, harassing or unsafe for children in a list
• try to break, overload or get around the limits of the service
• copy our word bank, audio or printables in bulk, by scraping or any other way
• use WordCurious to send spam or to break the law

We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules.

7. Ads on some pages

Some tools for adults show ads: the puzzle makers, the word tools and a few older articles. Ads sit around the tool, never inside it. They never appear on list pages, games, tests or anywhere students play. Our privacy policy explains the cookies these ads may use.

8. Changes and ending your account

If we change these terms, we’ll update the date at the top. If a change matters for how you use WordCurious, we’ll email account holders before it takes effect.

You can delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. If we ever close WordCurious, we’ll give you at least [number] days’ notice so you can download your lists.

9. Disclaimers and liability
