Terms of Use

Effective date: November 1, 2026

Welcome to 1 Hoot Academy! We’re glad you’re here. By using www.1hootacademy.com or any of our printables, you agree to these terms. We’ve kept them simple.

1. Who we are

1 Hoot Academy is a small family-run homeschool resource business based in Virginia, USA, run by Jeff Rivard as a sole proprietor. We make learning packs, guides, planners and printables for homeschooling families.

2. Using our site

You’re welcome to browse, read and share links to our site. Please don’t misuse it. For example, don’t try to hack it, overload it, scrape content in bulk or use it for anything unlawful.

3. Your license for downloads and printables

Our printables, learning packs, guides and planners, both free and paid, are copyrighted by 1 Hoot Academy. When you download one, you get a personal license to:

• Print and use it for one household (your own family), as many times as you need.
• Keep a copy for your own use.

You may not:

• Resell, share, give away or redistribute our files, or edited versions of them, whether for free or for money.
• Upload them to file-sharing sites, shared drives, social media groups or marketplaces such as Teachers Pay Teachers or Etsy.
• Claim our work as your own or use it in products you sell.

One household only: Our license covers one household. Classroom, co-op, tutoring-group or other group use is not included and needs separate written permission from 1 Hoot Academy. Email 1hootacademy@gmail.com if you need a group license.

Sharing a link to our site or Patreon is always welcome!

4. Memberships happen on Patreon

Our memberships (Free Flock, The Perch and The Nest), downloads and payments are handled by Patreon. Billing, payments, cancellations and refunds are governed by the Patreon Terms of Use and Patreon’s policies. You can manage or cancel your membership anytime in your Patreon account. Because our products are digital downloads, all sales are final.

5. Our intellectual property

The 1 Hoot Academy name and logo, Arlo the owl, and all of our artwork, writing, printables and other content belong to 1 Hoot Academy. Please don’t use them without our written permission, except to link to us or to talk about us in a fair, friendly way.

6. Educational information, not professional advice

Our resources are for general educational and informational purposes. They are not legal, medical or other professional advice. Homeschool laws vary by state, so please check your own state’s requirements, for example through HSLDA or your state’s department of education. You’re responsible for your child’s education and for meeting your state’s rules.

7. Messages you send us

When you send us something through our Contact page or by email, you confirm that it’s yours to share and doesn’t include anything harmful or unlawful. If you share ideas or feedback, we may use them to improve our resources, with no obligation to you. Please don’t include children’s personal information. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle what you send.

8. Links to other sites

Our site links to other websites, including Patreon and our social media pages. We aren’t responsible for their content, terms or privacy practices.

9. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

We work hard to make great resources, but our site and materials are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent allowed by law, 1 Hoot Academy is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages from using our site or materials. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA. Any disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts serving Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We’ll post the new version here with a new effective date. If you keep using the site after that, you accept the updated terms.
