Terms of service
Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of this online store and purchases from The First Grade Creative – Casey Verdugo ("we," "us," or "our"). Please read them before using the store or purchasing resources. If you do not agree, do not use the store or purchase our products.
Eligibility and Account Information
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to purchase from this store. Provide accurate, current billing and contact information. If you create an account, keep your login details confidential and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access.
Digital Products and Delivery
Our teaching resources are digital products delivered electronically, not physical items shipped to you. Review each product description, including file types and any software requirements, before purchasing. If you do not receive your download link, have trouble accessing your files, or receive an incorrect file, contact us with your order number and a description of the issue so we can help.
Single-Teacher, Single-Classroom License
Each purchase grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to one teacher for use in one classroom. You may print copies for students in that classroom.
- What you CANNOT do: You may not share files or download links with other teachers, distribute resources school-wide or district-wide, resell them, or post them publicly online.
- Digital restrictions: This license strictly prohibits uploading resources to public school websites, shared school or district cloud drives (such as shared Google Drives or Dropbox), or commercial learning platforms (such as Outschool).
Each additional teacher or classroom requires a separate purchase. Purchasing a resource does not transfer copyright or ownership. Copyright remains with The First Grade Creative – Casey Verdugo, subject to any third-party rights in included materials. You may not remove copyright notices, redistribute resources, or use them to create products for sale. Any editing permission expressly provided in an individual product description applies only to your authorized classroom use.
Prices, Payment, and Orders
Prices and product offerings may change for future purchases. You agree to pay the price and any applicable taxes shown at checkout. We may decline or cancel an order because of suspected fraud, product unavailability, or an error in the listing or order information. If we cancel a paid order without delivering the product, we will refund the amount paid for that canceled order.
Refund Policy
Due to the digital nature of our products, all digital downloads are non-refundable. Please review the product description carefully to make sure the resource meets your needs, and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
If you don’t receive your download link, have trouble accessing your files, or receive an incorrect file, please contact us with your order number and a description of the issue so we can help. This policy does not affect any statutory rights you may have under applicable law.
Acceptable Use
You may not use this store for unlawful activities, fraud, harassment, infringement of intellectual property rights, unauthorized collection of personal information, or spam. You may not upload malicious software, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with store security, or disrupt the store's operation.
Privacy and Third-Party Services
Our Privacy Policy describes how personal information is handled. The store may use third-party services (such as Shopify) or contain links to other websites. Review their terms and privacy practices when using those services. A link does not by itself imply our endorsement of the linked website.
Educational Resources and Availability
Our resources are intended for educational use. We do not guarantee a particular student outcome or test score. Use your professional judgment to determine whether a resource is appropriate for your students. We aim to describe products accurately and welcome reports of errors. The store may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance or technical issues.
Warranties and Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and resources are provided "as is" and "as available," without implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the website or resources. Nothing in these terms excludes warranties, remedies, or liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
Termination
We may suspend access to the store or terminate a resource license for a material violation of these terms, subject to applicable law. Restrictions on unauthorized sharing and resale continue after termination.
Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by California law, except where applicable law requires otherwise and without limiting mandatory consumer protections. Please contact us first if you have a concern so we can try to resolve it.
Notice for California Users

Changes and General Provisions
We may update these terms by posting a revised version. Changes are prospective and do not remove rights applicable to purchases already made. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent permitted by law. A failure to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce it later. These terms, the applicable product description, and our store policies govern use of this store and purchases from it.
