Effective and last updated: July 31, 2026
These Terms & Conditions (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Dunn and Sons Enterprises, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company that owns and operates Curriculum Connection ("Curriculum Connection," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Curriculum Connection mobile application, website, marketplace, messaging tools, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
By creating an account, clicking to accept these Terms, listing or purchasing an item, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Curriculum Connection provides technology that allows users to discover, list, purchase, sell, pay for, ship, and discuss homeschool curriculum and related goods. Unless we expressly state otherwise, each purchase agreement is directly between the buyer and seller. We may facilitate payment, shipping, moderation, and dispute resolution, but we do not manufacture, own, possess, inspect, or endorse user-listed items.
Users are independent parties. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary, or general agency relationship between Curriculum Connection and any user. We do not guarantee that a buyer or seller will complete a transaction or that any user-provided information is accurate.
By listing or selling an item, you represent and warrant that:
If you cannot fulfill an order, you must promptly cancel it through the Services. Repeated cancellations, late shipments, invalid tracking, or failure to respond may result in listing removal, payout delay, or account suspension.
The Services currently support only physical goods (shipped or local-pickup transactions). Listings for PDFs, printables, downloads, licenses, subscriptions, access codes, or other digital items are not available at this time. This section will be updated if digital goods support is introduced in the future.
You may not use the Services to list, sell, upload, transmit, or facilitate:
You also may not:
Listing titles, descriptions, profile content, messages, reviews, and photographs must be truthful, relevant, and appropriate for a family-oriented marketplace.
We may use automated tools and human review to screen, restrict, reject, or remove content before or after publication. Moderation tools can make mistakes. You may appeal a moderation decision by contacting us. We may immediately remove severe or apparently unlawful content and may warn, suspend, or terminate repeat or serious violators.
To request removal of an intimate image or video shared without consent, including a digitally created or altered image, email support@curriculum-connection.com with the subject "TAKE IT DOWN Request," identify the content and its location, provide information reasonably necessary to verify and process the request, and state that you have a good-faith belief the image was shared without consent. We will process valid requests and known identical copies as required by applicable law.
Except for remedies available under Section 11 or nonwaivable law, all sales are final. A buyer's change of mind, dissatisfaction with teaching style, or determination that accurately described material is unsuitable does not by itself entitle the buyer to a refund.
Physical orders must use supported shipping and tracking methods. We may receive tracking and delivery events from carriers and shipping-data providers, including EasyPost. A carrier or shipping provider's "delivered" event creates a rebuttable presumption that the package was delivered at the recorded time and location.
As between buyer and seller, the seller bears the risk of loss until the package is recorded as delivered, except to the extent loss results from an incorrect address or instruction supplied by the buyer. After recorded delivery, risk passes to the buyer, subject to the Buyer Protection process and applicable law.
Tracking information can be delayed or incorrect. We may consider photographs, carrier records, shipping receipts, address information, communications, and other reasonably available evidence when reviewing a claim.
For local pickup orders there is no carrier tracking. Risk of loss transfers to the buyer upon the buyer's in-person collection of the item from the seller. Buyers completing a local pickup transaction must confirm receipt through the Services promptly after taking physical possession of the item.
A buyer may confirm receipt through the Services after an order arrives. For a physical order, seller funds ordinarily become eligible for release when:
For a local pickup order, the fund-release window begins when the buyer confirms receipt through the Services. If the buyer does not confirm receipt, funds become eligible for release after a reasonable period consistent with the Services' escrow logic, provided no timely dispute is pending.
For a digital good, the 72-hour period begins when the file, code, or access information is made available to the buyer through an authorized delivery method. We may delay release when a dispute, refund, fraud review, legal requirement, processor restriction, account limitation, or other material risk is pending. Funds held or delayed through a payment processor are not escrow deposits and do not earn interest for users.
A buyer must open an in-app dispute within 72 hours after the applicable delivery event. Confirming receipt may accelerate the seller's payout but does not eliminate the remaining dispute period or any right that cannot legally be waived.
Buyer Protection may apply when an item:
Buyer Protection ordinarily does not cover buyer's remorse, disclosed defects, ordinary wear consistent with the description, subjective educational suitability, learning outcomes, or damage caused after delivery.
We may request photographs, tracking records, communications, expert or publisher information, return tracking, or other relevant evidence. Both parties must cooperate. We generally aim to resolve a dispute within 14 days after it is opened, but we may extend that period when reasonably necessary and will provide notice through the Services.
We may deny a claim, release seller funds, require a return, issue a full or partial refund, allocate return-shipping costs, reverse or offset a seller transfer, or take another reasonable remedial action. If a return is required, the buyer must ship the item by the stated deadline using tracking and in substantially the condition received. Our determination is final for the Curriculum Connection Buyer Protection program, but it does not limit nonwaivable legal or payment-card rights.
Fraudulent claims, chargeback abuse, altered evidence, failure to return an item, or repeated misuse of Buyer Protection may result in account restriction or termination. Nothing in these Terms prohibits a user from exercising a lawful card-dispute right.
Curriculum Connection administers refunds and bears processor-facing responsibility for refunds and chargebacks associated with platform transactions. However, a seller remains financially responsible to Curriculum Connection when a refund, reversal, chargeback, penalty, or loss results from the seller's breach, fraud, nonshipment, material misdescription, prohibited item, infringement, invalid digital good, or other wrongful act. To the extent permitted by law, the seller authorizes us and Stripe to reverse a transfer, debit an available seller balance, offset future payouts, or collect amounts otherwise owed. We may establish reasonable reserves or delay payouts when transaction or account risk warrants it.
We are not a bank or escrow agent and do not provide deposit accounts. We do not guarantee that Stripe or another financial provider will authorize, process, or complete any transaction.
Sellers are responsible for determining and satisfying their income, sales, use, business-registration, licensing, and other tax or legal obligations. Curriculum Connection or its providers may calculate, collect, withhold, and remit taxes when required and may issue tax forms or report transactions to tax authorities.
You must provide accurate taxpayer, identity, bank, and business information when requested. We may verify, periodically reverify, safeguard, disclose, or report seller information and suspend noncompliant sellers as required by the INFORM Consumers Act, tax law, payment rules, sanctions requirements, or other applicable law. Suspicious marketplace conduct may be reported to support@curriculum-connection.com.
Messaging is provided for legitimate marketplace communication. Messages may be stored and reviewed by automated systems or authorized personnel for support, moderation, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legal compliance as described in the Privacy Policy. Do not use messages to exchange unnecessary sensitive information or to move transactions off-platform.
Reviews must reflect a genuine transaction experience. We do not remove a review merely because it is negative. We may remove or restrict reviews that are fake, manipulated, incentivized without proper disclosure, abusive, irrelevant, unlawful, disclose private information, result from a conflict of interest, or otherwise violate these Terms.
You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant Curriculum Connection a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense to service providers, to host, store, reproduce, format, resize, crop, display, distribute, moderate, and use that content as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and promote the Services and your listings. This license continues for a reasonable period after deletion where content remains in backups, transaction records, dispute files, legal records, or content previously shared with other users.
You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed for your content and our permitted use of it. We may remove or restrict content at any time when we reasonably believe it violates these Terms, creates risk, or may be unlawful. We are not obligated to monitor every item or communication.
The Services, including our software, design, branding, and original content, are owned by Dunn and Sons Enterprises, LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property law. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the Services for their intended purpose. No other rights are granted.
If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send our designated copyright agent a written notice containing:
Send notices to: DMCA Agent, Dunn and Sons Enterprises, LLC, 164 Black Water Ln, Lexington, KY 40511; email: support@curriculum-connection.com.
A user whose content was removed may send a legally sufficient counter-notice to the same agent. We may provide notices and counter-notices to the affected parties and restore content as permitted by law. We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who repeatedly infringe intellectual-property rights. Submitting a knowingly false notice or counter-notice may create legal liability.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information. Do not post another person's personal information unless you are authorized to do so.
You may close your account through the app, subject to completion of pending transactions and payment of amounts owed. We may remove content, cancel a transaction, restrict features, delay or withhold funds, suspend, or terminate an account when reasonably necessary to:
Where appropriate, we will provide notice and an opportunity to appeal. Termination does not eliminate accrued payment obligations, transaction records, licenses needed for retained records, or provisions that by their nature should survive.
The Services rely on third parties such as authentication, payment, shipping, notification, hosting, and content-moderation providers. Their services and terms may apply separately. We are not responsible for an independent third party's acts, outages, or policies, except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise.
The mobile application is licensed, not sold, and its use is also subject to the applicable app store's standard license and usage rules. If downloaded through Apple, Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the marketplace, content, maintenance, support, or claims relating to the Services. Apple and its subsidiaries are intended third-party beneficiaries of this paragraph and may enforce it.
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all express and implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that listings, users, reviews, delivery events, digital goods, or third-party services are accurate, authentic, lawful, safe, uninterrupted, or error-free. We do not inspect items or guarantee buyer or seller performance.
Educational disclaimer: Curriculum Connection does not verify or guarantee educational accuracy, completeness, grade level, learning outcomes, accreditation, religious or secular classification, accessibility, suitability for a particular student, or compliance with any state's homeschool, attendance, testing, recordkeeping, graduation, or curriculum requirements. Parents and guardians are solely responsible for evaluating materials and satisfying applicable educational requirements.
Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty disclaimers, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Dunn and Sons Enterprises, LLC and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or opportunity; or losses arising from user conduct, listings, products, delivery, third-party services, account compromise, or inability to use the Services.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid directly to Curriculum Connection during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) $100.
These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability arising from our fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence where applicable. Your nonwaivable consumer rights remain unaffected.
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dunn and Sons Enterprises, LLC and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from third-party claims, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from your listings, items, digital goods, user content, transactions, taxes, infringement, unlawful conduct, or material breach of these Terms. We may control the defense of a covered claim, and you will reasonably cooperate. This section does not require you to indemnify us for our own fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence.
Before filing a legal action, you and Curriculum Connection agree to send written notice describing the dispute and requested relief and to attempt in good faith to resolve it for 30 days. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief or filing a claim before a limitations period expires.
These Terms are governed by Kentucky law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that applicable federal law governs federal questions. Any legal action arising from these Terms or the Services must be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Fayette County, Kentucky, or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Lexington Division. You and Curriculum Connection consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts. This provision does not deprive a consumer of nonwaivable protections provided by the law of the consumer's state.
We may modify the Services and may update these Terms prospectively. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable advance notice through the Services, email, or another appropriate method and may require renewed acceptance. Changes will not retroactively alter a dispute or completed transaction unless required by law or agreed by the affected parties. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the Services and close your account.
