1. Agreement and parties
1.1
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Just Cursive (“Just Cursive,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), which operates the website at justcursive.com (the “Site”). They govern your access to and use of the Site, the tools on it, the printable files it offers, and the paid products sold through it.
1.2
By using the Site, downloading a printable, or buying a Paid Product, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of a school, business, or other organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.
1.3
Our Privacy Policy explains what information is collected and how it is used, and applies alongside these Terms.
1.4
Paid Products are sold through Dodo Payments (“Dodo”) as merchant of record. Dodo’s terms apply to the payment transaction in addition to these Terms; Section 8 explains how the two fit together.
2. Definitions and interpretation
2.1
In these Terms:
- “Content” means everything on the Site that we write or compose, including text, letter and word pages, charts, stroke-order and join diagrams, Images, page designs, and the layout of files the Tools generate. It does not include text you enter into a Tool or Third-Party Materials.
- “Free Printables” means the PDF sheets and charts offered on the Site without charge, including those the Tools generate.
- “Images” has the meaning given in Section 7.
- “Paid Products” means the downloadable PDF workbooks, packs, and bundles sold on the Site.
- “Licensed Learners” means the learners in one household, or in one classroom, for which a Paid Product was bought.
- “Third-Party Materials” means material owned by others, including the Playwrite US Trad typeface, third-party services, and third-party names and marks.
- “Tools” means the interactive features of the Site: the worksheet builder, name tracing, and the Unicode text generator.
2.2
Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.” These Terms will not be construed against either party as the drafter.
3. Eligibility and children
3.1
You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, to buy a Paid Product or to accept these Terms for yourself.
3.2
The Site is a reference for parents, teachers, and adult learners and is not directed to children under 13. Children may use the letter pages and printed sheets with a parent or teacher, who is responsible for the child’s use and accepts these Terms on the child’s behalf. The Privacy Policy describes how children’s information is handled.
4. The Site and the Tools
4.1
No account. The Site has no sign-up or login, and its free features do not require payment.
4.2
Worksheet Tools. The worksheet builder and name tracing run in your browser. The names and text you enter, and the PDFs built from them, are processed on your device and are not sent to us. We therefore do not receive, store, or claim any right in what you type. You are responsible for that text, including having any permission you need to use another person’s name.
4.3
Generator output. The Unicode generator converts text into Unicode script characters. Those characters are part of the Unicode standard, and we claim no rights in text you convert. The result is not handwriting and does not join. Whether an app, platform, printer, or screen reader displays or reads it as intended depends on that software, and we do not warrant it. Do not rely on generator output where a mistake would be costly or permanent, such as a tattoo, an engraving, signage, or an official document; have the final artwork checked with the person producing it.
4.4
Availability. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site or the Tools at any time. A Paid Product you have already downloaded is not affected.
4.5
Corrections. We check the Content, but errors happen. To report one, email hello@justcursive.com.
5. Ownership and license to the Site
5.1
Ownership. As between you and us, we own the Site and the Content and all intellectual property rights in them. The letterforms shown are set in Playwrite US Trad, a typeface released under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. That license covers the font software; the Content composed with it is ours and is not subject to it.
5.2
License to use the Site. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Site and view the Content for personal, educational, and other non-commercial purposes. Section 6, Section 7, and Section 9 grant further rights for their subject matter, and they control over this Section for that subject matter.
5.3
Reservation. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. No license arises by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
5.4
Feedback. If you send us suggestions or corrections, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them without obligation to you.
6. Free Printables
6.1
Permitted use. You may download, print, and photocopy Free Printables for personal use and for use with learners at home, in a classroom, or in a tutoring session. You may give printed copies to learners, families, and colleagues.
6.2
Credit line. Each Free Printable carries a credit line at the foot of the page. Keep it intact and legible, and do not present a Free Printable as your own work.
6.3
Not permitted. You may not sell or charge for a Free Printable, include it in anything that is sold (including on a teacher marketplace), or upload the file to another website or file-sharing service. To share a sheet digitally, link to the page it came from.
6.4
This Section governs the PDF files. Images embedded in a page are governed by Section 7.
7. Images
7.1
Ownership. The letter, word, chart, stroke-order, and join images on the Site (the “Images”) are made by Just Cursive and are the copyright of JustCursive.com. The letterforms in them are set in Playwrite US Trad, a font released under the SIL Open Font License; that license covers the font, and the composed Images are ours.
7.2
License. We grant you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, non-transferable license to use the Images for personal, classroom, and other non-commercial purposes, including on a website or in a lesson, on these conditions:
- credit Just Cursive next to the Image or in the page credits, with a link to the page the Image came from;
- do not remove or crop out the ruled paper or the stroke numbers;
- do not present the Images as your own or suggest that we endorse you; and
- do not sell, sublicense, or redistribute the Images as a collection, pack, or download.
7.3
Other uses. For commercial use, for use without credit, or for any use outside this Section, email hello@justcursive.com for written permission.
7.4
Cure. If you use an Image without the required credit, the license continues if you add the credit within 30 days after you learn of the omission or receive our notice, whichever is earlier.
8. Purchases and payment
8.1
Merchant of record. Paid Products are sold through Dodo, which processes payment, calculates and remits applicable tax, and emails the download link to the address you give at checkout. Dodo’s terms and privacy notice apply to that transaction. We do not receive your card number.
8.2
Price. Prices are in US dollars. The price and any tax shown at checkout when you pay are the amount due for that order. We may change prices at any time; a change does not affect a completed purchase.
8.3
One-time payment. Each purchase is a single payment for a digital file. Nothing renews or bills again automatically.
8.4
Delivery. A Paid Product is delivered as a PDF through a link that Dodo emails after payment clears. You are responsible for giving a correct email address and for checking your spam or promotions folder. If the link does not arrive or the file will not open, email hello@justcursive.com and we will send it again.
8.5
Order of precedence. If Dodo’s terms and these Terms conflict, Dodo’s terms govern payment, tax, chargebacks, and payment disputes, and these Terms govern your license to the Paid Product and your use of the Site.
8.6
Reversed payments. Please contact us before starting a chargeback; we will work to resolve the problem. If a payment is reversed or charged back, the license for that order ends.
9. Paid Product license
9.1
Grant. On payment, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to download the Paid Product, store it, and print any number of copies for the Licensed Learners.
9.2
Restrictions. You may not:
- sell, resell, rent, lend, license, or otherwise transfer the Paid Product or any part of it, other than printed copies handed to Licensed Learners;
- share the PDF file or download link with anyone outside your household or classroom, or upload or post it anywhere others can reach it, including teacher marketplaces, social media, file-sharing services, and shared drives;
- include any part of a Paid Product in another product, course, or publication;
- remove or alter the copyright notices, credit lines, or page footers in the file.
9.3
Other uses. For any use beyond one household or one classroom, such as several classrooms, a school or district, a co-op, or a tutoring business, email hello@justcursive.com for permission before you use the Paid Product that way.
9.4
Licensed, not sold. You receive a license, not ownership of the Paid Product or of any intellectual property in it.
9.5
Breach. The license ends automatically if you breach this Section. You must then stop using the Paid Product and delete unauthorized copies. Ending the license for breach does not entitle you to a refund.
10. Refunds
10.1
Guarantee. If a Paid Product file is broken, will not open, is incomplete, or is materially different from its description on the Shop page, email us within 30 days after the purchase date. We will correct the problem or refund the price you paid.
10.2
How to ask. Email hello@justcursive.com from the address you used to buy, and name the product and, if you have it, the payment reference. Refunds go back to the original payment method, normally through Dodo, and the time they take to appear depends on your bank or card issuer.
10.3
Other requests. Except as this Section or applicable law provides, purchases are non-refundable, though we may grant a refund in other cases at our discretion.
10.4
Your legal rights. This Section is in addition to, and does not limit, any right you have under consumer-protection law that cannot be waived by contract.
11. Acceptable use
11.1
You agree not to:
- use the Site in violation of law or the rights of others;
- interfere with or disrupt the Site or its security, including by overloading it or probing it for vulnerabilities without our written permission;
- use automated means to copy the Site in bulk, mirror it, or scrape it for republication;
- impersonate another person or misrepresent where Content came from; or
- use Content in a way that breaches Section 5, Section 6, Section 7, or Section 9.
11.2
Nothing in this Section restricts search engines or AI assistants from crawling, indexing, or citing the Site in line with its robots.txt file. Permission to crawl is not a license to republish Content, which remains governed by Section 5.
12. Third-party services, advertising, and links
12.1
The Site uses Google Analytics and Google AdSense, and Paid Products are sold through Dodo. Those services are run by third parties under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control them and are not responsible for them. The Privacy Policy describes the cookies involved and your choices.
12.2
Advertisements are supplied by third parties. We do not endorse advertisers or their products, and any dealing you have with an advertiser is between you and them.
12.3
The Site may link to other websites. We do not control or endorse them, and you follow those links at your own risk.
13. Trademarks and third-party materials
13.1
“Just Cursive,” the JustCursive.com name, and the Site’s logos and distinctive presentation are ours, whether or not registered. Do not use them without permission, except to identify us accurately, such as the credit required by Section 7.
13.2
Zaner-Bloser, D’Nealian, Playwrite, Google, Instagram, TikTok, X, Discord, and other names belong to their owners and are used only to identify those owners, handwriting styles, or platforms. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by them.
13.3
The SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1, that applies to Playwrite US Trad is published with the font at /fonts/OFL.txt.
14. Educational content
14.1
The Content teaches one common style of US school cursive as drawn by Playwrite US Trad, which is close to, but not the same as, Zaner-Bloser. Schools teach different styles and standards, and the letterforms and stroke descriptions here may differ from what a particular teacher, school, or curriculum requires.
14.2
We do not promise that using the Site or a Paid Product will improve handwriting, earn any grade, or meet any standard.
14.3
The Content is general educational information. It is not occupational-therapy, medical, or special-education advice. If a learner has difficulty with handwriting, consult a qualified professional.
15. Disclaimer of warranties
15.1
The Site, the Tools, the Content, and the Paid Products are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Site or the Tools will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that generated text or files will display or print as intended on every device, app, or printer.
15.2
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties to be excluded. In those places, the exclusions above apply only to the extent the law permits. This Section does not limit the commitments in Section 10.
16. Limitation of liability
16.1
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Just Cursive and its owners, contractors, and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to the Site, the Tools, the Content, the Paid Products, or these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of those damages.
16.2
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Site, the Tools, the Content, the Paid Products, or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for Paid Products in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim and (b) US $50.
16.3
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud or willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including consumer-protection rights that cannot be waived. Where the law does not permit a limit above, that limit applies only to the extent permitted.
16.4
The Site is free to use and Paid Products are priced low in reliance on these limits, which are an essential basis of the bargain between you and us.
17. Indemnification
17.1
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims, and the resulting losses and reasonable costs including attorneys’ fees, to the extent they arise from your unlawful use of the Site or your use of Content outside the licenses in Section 5, Section 6, Section 7, or Section 9.
17.2
We will tell you about the claim promptly. You may not settle a claim in a way that imposes an obligation on us without our written consent.
18. Copyright complaints
18.1
The Site does not host material posted by users. If you believe Content on the Site infringes your copyright, email hello@justcursive.com with the subject “Copyright notice” and include the information described in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A):
- identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
- the URL of the material you claim is infringing;
- your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and
- your physical or electronic signature.
18.2
A person who knowingly misrepresents infringement in a notice may be liable under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
19. Suspension, termination, and survival
19.1
You may stop using the Site at any time.
19.2
We may restrict or block access to the Site, and end any license granted in these Terms, if you breach them or misuse the Site.
20. Governing law and disputes
20.1
Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising from them or from your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
20.2
Talk to us first. Before filing a claim, email hello@justcursive.com a written description of the dispute and what you want done. The parties will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days. This step does not apply to a claim for injunctive relief or to a claim brought in small-claims court.
20.3
Courts. Subject to the previous clause, the state and federal courts located in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there.
20.4
Consumers. If you are a consumer, this Section does not remove the protection of mandatory consumer-protection law where you live or your right to bring a claim in the courts of that place, including small-claims court in your county of residence.
20.5
Injunctive relief. Use of Content outside these Terms may cause harm that money damages cannot fully repair. We may seek injunctive relief to prevent it, to the extent the law allows and without posting a bond.
21. Changes to these Terms
21.1
We may update these Terms. The effective date at the top of this page is the date of the current version, and a record of changes appears at the end. Using the Site after an update means you accept the updated Terms. An update does not apply to a dispute that arose before it took effect.
21.2
If you bought a Paid Product, the license terms in Section 9 in force on the date of purchase continue to apply to that purchase, unless a later version is more favorable to you.
22. General provisions
22.1
Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any permission we give you in writing are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site and replace earlier versions and understandings.
22.2
Severability. If a provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted and the rest of these Terms stay in effect.
22.3
No waiver. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. A waiver is effective only if written.
22.4
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms or any license under them without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
22.5
Events beyond our control. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform, other than a payment obligation, caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages of internet, hosting, or payment services.
22.6
No third-party rights. These Terms create no rights for anyone other than you and us, except that the persons protected by Section 16 and Section 17 may rely on them.
22.7
Electronic dealings. You consent to receive notices from us electronically, by email or by posting on the Site, and agree that they satisfy any requirement that a notice be in writing.
22.8
Relationship and language. The parties are independent contractors, and these Terms create no partnership, agency, or employment. These Terms are written in English, and the English version controls over any translation.
23. Contact and notices
23.1
Send questions, permission requests, refund requests, copyright notices, and legal notices to hello@justcursive.com. Please say in the subject line what the message is about.
23.2
We will send notices to you at the email address you used for an order, or by posting on the Site. An email notice takes effect when it is sent, unless the sender receives a message that it could not be delivered.
