Teach Weave

Terms of Service

Last updated: May 12, 2026

The short version. Teach Weave is a marketplace for K–12 teaching resources. Buyers can download what they purchase for their classroom. Creators keep 85% of every sale and retain copyright in their work. Don't upload things that aren't yours, don't put student personal information in your resources, and don't game the review system. The rest of this page covers the details.

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form an agreement between you and Burt Consulting LLC, a Texas limited liability company doing business as Teach Weave (“Teach Weave,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using Teach Weave (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

We may update these Terms over time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Substantive changes will get an email to your registered address at least 14 days before they take effect, and continued use after the effective date means you accept the new Terms.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the Service. We do not knowingly accept users under 18; if you're a teacher who wants to use Teach Weave with your students, the Service is for your use only — students should not sign up directly. You agree to provide accurate information at sign-up, keep your credentials secure, and not share your account with anyone else.

You're responsible for everything that happens under your account. Tell us right away if you suspect someone else has accessed it.

3. The marketplace

Teach Weave is a marketplace where independent creators (educators) sell digital teaching resources to other educators. We facilitate the transactions and host the platform. We are not the seller of the resources themselves — each transaction is between the buyer and the creator.

4. Buying resources

Your license to use a purchased resource

When you buy a resource, the creator grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable license to use it for your classroom and your own teaching. You can:

  • Print the resource and use it with your students.
  • Display it on your classroom screen, smartboard, or in distance-learning sessions.
  • Make a reasonable number of copies for your own students.
  • Adapt it for your specific classroom needs.

You can't:

  • Resell the resource, post it publicly, or share it with other teachers who haven't purchased it.
  • Upload it to a third-party file-sharing platform.
  • Strip the creator's attribution and republish it as your own.

Each license is per-buyer. If you teach with a team and you all want copies, each teacher should buy their own, or the school can purchase one license per teacher.

Bundles

Bundles contain resources from a single creator only. When you buy a bundle, the same per-buyer classroom license attaches to each resource inside the bundle — you get the same use rights you'd have if you bought each item individually. If you're refunded on the bundle, your access to every resource inside it ends and the platform-fee accounting on that sale is reversed.

Refunds

Refunds are processed through Stripe at our discretion. We aim to make a good-faith refund decision when a resource is materially different from its description, fundamentally broken, or cannot be downloaded. Email support@teachweave.com to start a refund conversation. When a refund is issued, your library access for that resource ends and any review you left for it is removed.

Reviews

Only verified buyers can leave reviews. Reviews must reflect your honest experience with the resource. Don't post reviews you were paid to write, don't target a creator personally, and don't include other users' private information. We may remove reviews that violate these rules.

5. Selling resources

Your content stays yours

You retain copyright in everything you upload to Teach Weave. By uploading, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, display, transmit, and sell your resources to buyers via the marketplace. When you opt in to AI adaptations on a specific resource, you additionally grant us the right to generate adapted versions for buyers who request them. This license ends when you remove or delete the resource (subject to fulfilling existing buyer downloads).

Your responsibilities as a creator

By publishing on Teach Weave, you confirm that:

  • Everything you upload is your own work, or you have the rights to sell it. Don't use copyrighted material that doesn't belong to you (clip art from a paid stock service is fine if you have the license; ripping a worksheet from another publisher isn't).
  • You don't include personally identifiable student information in your resources — student names, faces, IDs, or anything else identifying a real child.
  • Your resources accurately reflect what you describe in their listing, are educationally appropriate for the grade levels and subjects you tag, and do not contain known errors. Our AI runs an accuracy and copyright pre-check at upload, but the responsibility for what you publish is yours.
  • You're acting as an independent seller. Teach Weave is not your employer; you set your own prices, schedules, and product mix.

Payments and the platform fee

Teach Weave charges a 15% platform fee on every sale. You receive 85%, paid out via Stripe Connect on Stripe's standard schedule for your connected account — Stripe sets the cadence (and may change it based on account history); you can see your next payout date in your Stripe dashboard. Stripe is the regulated payment processor; Teach Weave never holds your funds.

You're responsible for any taxes on your earnings. Stripe issues 1099-K and similar tax forms where required by law; we'll surface those in your dashboard when they exist.

Stripe Connect Express has its own Connected Account Agreement that you also accept by completing onboarding. If there's a conflict between Stripe's terms and ours about how payouts work, theirs control for the payment-processing parts.

Refund impact on creators

When a buyer is refunded, the earnings on that sale are removed from your dashboard totals. Stripe transfers that have already cleared to your bank are not automatically reversed; we resolve any creator-balance questions case-by-case. We'll always tell you when a refund affects one of your sales.

6. AI features

Teach Weave uses AI (Anthropic's Claude) for three features:

  • Standards alignment at upload — suggesting which standards a resource maps to.
  • Description generation if you opt in — writing a teacher-voice description from your uploaded file.
  • Adaptations if you (the creator) opt in per resource — letting buyers request a different reading level or a translation. This feature is in Beta.

AI outputs can have errors. We don't guarantee accuracy of AI-generated text. Creators stay in control of every AI suggestion: you can keep, edit, or reject alignment suggestions; you can edit or replace AI-generated descriptions; you can disable adaptations on any resource any time. Don't treat the AI as a substitute for your professional judgment about what to publish.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Upload, post, or share content that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.
  • Upload content that contains personally identifiable information about students or other minors.
  • Use the Service to harass, defame, threaten, or harm other users.
  • Manipulate reviews, ratings, or sales — including buying your own resources to inflate ratings, paying for fake reviews, or coordinating with others to game the marketplace.
  • Scrape the Service, abuse our APIs, or attempt to access data you don't have permission to access.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service.
  • Use the Service to distribute malware or exploit security vulnerabilities.
  • Submit questions to the public Q&A surface that are spam, off-topic, contain other users' personal information, or attempt to circumvent the automated moderation pre-filter or per-user rate limits.

8. Content moderation and removal

We may review, edit, refuse to publish, or remove any content that violates these terms or that we believe in good faith is unsafe, illegal, or otherwise problematic. When we remove a creator's resource because of a terms violation, we'll tell them why. Repeat or serious violations can result in account suspension or termination.

If you believe content on Teach Weave infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice to support@teachweave.com. To be valid, your notice must include: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (iii) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (a URL works); (iv) contact information for you (name, email, phone, address); (v) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner. We'll act on valid notices and notify the creator.

Counter-notification. If we remove your content based on a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake, you can submit a counter-notice to the same address that includes: (i) your physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the material removed and its location before removal; (iii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake or misidentification; and (iv) your name, address, phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if outside the US, where Teach Weave may be found).

Designated agent for DMCA notices: Burt Consulting LLC (doing business as Teach Weave), 13423 Blanco Road #774, San Antonio, TX 78216, United States; support@teachweave.com.

9. Termination

You can close your account at any time by emailing support@teachweave.com. We'll process the deletion as described in our Privacy Policy — keeping tax-relevant transaction records but removing personal information.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms. We'll explain why when we do. If you believe a termination was a mistake, email us and we'll look at it.

Creator data export. On termination, we will provide creators a one-time export of their resource files and sales history on request, made within 60 days of termination.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that AI outputs will be accurate, that search results will be perfectly relevant, or that resources sold by creators will meet your specific classroom needs. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Teach Weave or its directors, officers, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption — arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim and (b) US$500.

The foregoing limitations do not apply to: (i) your indemnification obligations under Section 12; (ii) your breach of Section 7 (Acceptable use); (iii) liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct); or (iv) death or bodily injury caused by our negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations on liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

From you to us. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Teach Weave harmless from any third-party claim, demand, loss, or damage (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) the content you upload or publish, (b) your breach of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any third party's rights — including copyright, trademark, and privacy. We will promptly notify you of any such claim and reasonably cooperate with the defense.

From us to you (Service IP). Teach Weave will defend you against any third-party claim that the Service itself (excluding any resource or other user content) infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, and will pay any damages finally awarded or settlement amount; provided that you (i) notify us promptly in writing, (ii) give us sole control of the defense and settlement, and (iii) reasonably cooperate. Our obligation under this paragraph does not apply to claims arising from (x) your modification of the Service, (y) your combination of the Service with non-Teach-Weave technology not contemplated by these Terms, or (z) any user content (including resources you purchase or upload). Our obligation is subject to the limitation of liability in Section 11.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute that is not subject to arbitration under Section 14 will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

14. Resolving disputes

14.1 Try informal resolution first

Before either of us files an arbitration demand or a lawsuit, we both agree to try to work it out informally. Send a written description of your claim — what happened, what you want, and your contact info — to support@teachweave.com. We'll send any claim we have against you to the email address on your account. If we can't resolve the matter within 60 days of that notice, either party can move to arbitration as set out below.

14.2 Binding individual arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or your relationship with Teach Weave that we don't resolve informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in the U.S. county where you live, or — at your election — by telephone or videoconference. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

14.3 Class-action waiver

You and Teach Weave agree that any dispute will be resolved only on an individual basis. Neither of us may bring or participate in a class action, collective action, consolidated arbitration, private attorney general action, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court finds this class-action waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, then that claim or remedy only — and not any other — must proceed in court rather than in arbitration.

14.4 What stays out of arbitration

Nothing in this Section 14 prevents either of us from:

  • bringing an individual action in small claims court (in your state of residence) for any dispute within that court's jurisdiction;
  • seeking injunctive or equitable relief in court for the actual or threatened misuse of intellectual property (yours or ours);
  • asserting any right that, by law, can't be waived — including, where applicable, the right to seek public injunctive relief in court.

14.5 Opt out within 30 days

You can opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver in this Section 14 by sending written notice to support@teachweave.com within 30 days of first creating your Teach Weave account. Include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you're opting out. Opting out doesn't affect any other provision of these Terms, and we won't penalize you for opting out.

14.6 Jury-trial waiver

To the extent any claim isn't subject to arbitration under this section, you and Teach Weave each waive the right to a jury trial in any such action.

14.7 Survival

This Section 14 survives termination of these Terms or your account.

14.8 Mass arbitration

If 25 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are filed against Teach Weave by the same counsel within a 90-day period, the parties will work in good faith to apply a bellwether procedure under AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, with up to 10 bellwether cases proceeding before any other case is administered.

15. Miscellaneous

These Terms — together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies we link from the Service — make up the entire agreement between you and Burt Consulting LLC (doing business as Teach Weave), with a mailing address of 13423 Blanco Road #774, San Antonio, TX 78216, United States. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision isn't a waiver of that provision. You can't assign or transfer your account; we may assign these Terms to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, governmental action, natural disasters, internet or telecommunications outages, vendor outages, or pandemics. The affected party will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.

Survival. Sections 4 (Buyer license, as to resources already purchased), 5 (Selling resources — payments and refund impact, for transactions before termination), 10 (Disclaimers), 11 (Limitation of liability), 12 (Indemnification), 13 (Governing law), 14 (Resolving disputes), and this Section 15 survive termination of these Terms or your account.
