The agreement between Be The Monster Inc. and the grown-up
who manages the family account, buys a subscription, or redeems a gift.
Last updated: August 13, 2026 | Effective upon publication
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form an agreement between Be The Monster Inc. (“BTM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the adult parent or legal guardian who creates, purchases for, redeems a gift for, or manages a family account (“you”). These Terms apply to the Dr. Seuss: Learn & Play mobile application, website, parent portal, subscriptions, games, books, activities, and related services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).
By creating or managing a family account, purchasing or redeeming a subscription, or selecting a control that expressly indicates acceptance of these Terms, you agree to them for yourself and for each child you authorize to use the Services. A child’s use of the child-facing Services does not independently constitute acceptance. If you do not agree, do not create or manage an account, purchase or redeem a subscription, or permit a child to use the Services.
Be The Monster Inc. operates the Services and is the party to these Terms. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. owns and licenses the Dr. Seuss intellectual property used in the Services; it does not operate the Services and is not a party to these Terms.
The child-facing portions of the Services are intended for children ages 2–8 to use only with permission from a parent or legal guardian. A child may not create an independent account, purchase a subscription, redeem a gift, or accept these Terms.
By accepting these Terms, you confirm that you have reached the age of majority where you live, that you have authority to permit each child profile’s use, and that the information you provide for the family account is accurate. You are responsible for deciding whether the Services are appropriate for each child who uses your family account and for supervising their use as appropriate.
The Services use a parent-managed family account rather than independent child accounts. A family account may include private child profiles, subject to the limits displayed in the Services. Child profiles may contain a nickname, an optional broad age range, a preset character selection, settings, and learning or gameplay progress. Do not enter a child’s surname or other identifying information in a nickname field.
You may permit members of your household to use the Services through your family account. You remain responsible for authorized use of the account and for keeping parent-only areas and account access methods away from children.
Our Children’s Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information, including information relating to child users and parent accounts. These Terms do not replace any parental notice or consent required by law. If these Terms conflict with the Children’s Privacy Policy about our handling of personal information, the Children’s Privacy Policy controls.
Where the Services request verifiable parental consent, marketing permission, or another separate choice, your agreement to these Terms alone does not supply that consent or permission. You may exercise the privacy rights described in the Children’s Privacy Policy, including requesting access, correction, deletion, or limits on further collection or use where applicable.
You must provide a valid parent email address and keep your account information current. You may also choose to link a supported Apple or Google sign-in method. You are responsible for protecting access to your email, linked sign-in accounts, devices, and family account.
Tell us promptly at help@drseusslearn.com if you believe an account or access method has been compromised or used without authorization. We may require reasonable verification before changing account information, disclosing account records, or responding to a privacy or support request. We will never ask a child to supply independent login credentials.
The price, billing period, trial (if any), included access, and renewal terms shown immediately before purchase are part of these Terms. Unless the checkout states otherwise, a paid subscription renews automatically for the displayed period until cancelled. The applicable payment provider may charge the then-current price and applicable taxes using the payment method associated with that provider.
You may purchase through Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Stripe, or another billing method that the Services make available. Your purchase is also subject to the applicable store or payment provider’s terms. If those terms give you additional or non-waivable rights, those rights continue to apply.
You confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method selected at checkout. The billing provider, rather than BTM, processes full payment-card or bank-account details; BTM may receive transaction, subscription, receipt, status, and limited billing-support information as described in the Children’s Privacy Policy. If a charge fails or is reversed, the provider or BTM may retry the charge where permitted, notify you, or suspend paid access until payment is resolved.
A free trial converts to a paid subscription on the date and at the price displayed at checkout unless you cancel before the trial ends. Eligibility for a trial may be limited to new or qualifying subscribers. We may prevent repeated or abusive use of introductory offers where permitted by law and the applicable platform.
Cancel through the platform or billing account through which you subscribed, following the deadline and instructions disclosed by that provider, to avoid the next renewal charge. Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the current paid period, and you may continue using the paid features until then. Deleting the App or deleting your family account does not cancel an active subscription.
Refunds, credits, immediate cancellation rights, and billing disputes are governed by the applicable store or billing provider and mandatory law. We will provide notice, and obtain consent where required, before a price change applies to a renewing subscription.
Prices and promotions for new purchases may change before you purchase. A later price reduction or promotional offer does not by itself entitle an existing subscriber to a refund, credit, or price adjustment, except where required by law or the applicable billing provider.
A gift code provides the entitlement and access period stated with the gift. Unless the offer expressly says otherwise, a gift is a one-time entitlement and does not automatically renew. A parent or legal guardian must pass the grown-ups gate, review the applicable notice and these Terms, and affirmatively select Redeem.
Gift codes have no cash value and may not be sold or resold, except where law requires otherwise. Additional restrictions—such as an expiration date, eligible region, participating platform, redemption limit, or combination with another offer—apply only if they are clearly disclosed with the gift and permitted by law. Lost, stolen, or improperly transferred codes may not be replaceable where we cannot verify ownership.
A gift does not begin an automatically renewing paid subscription unless the parent separately authorizes one through a purchase flow that clearly discloses the price, period, and renewal terms.
Separate rules displayed with a promotion, contest, discount, or special offer also apply to that offer. If they conflict with these Terms on an offer-specific issue, the clearly disclosed offer rules control.
Subject to these Terms and payment of any applicable fees, BTM grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to install and use the Services for private, non-commercial use by your family or household on supported devices and platforms.
The license does not transfer ownership of the Services or any content. You may not copy, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, sell, rent, sublicense, extract, republish, or create derivative works from the Services or their content except where these Terms, the Services, or applicable law expressly permit it.
The Services contain software, text, artwork, characters, names, logos, music, audio, animation, designs, and other materials protected by intellectual-property laws. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. owns the Dr. Seuss intellectual property and licenses it for use in the Services. BTM and its other licensors own their respective software, technology, trademarks, and materials. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved.
You may not remove ownership notices, use the Services’ marks in a way that suggests sponsorship or endorsement, or use any portion of the Services to train, develop, or improve an artificial-intelligence model or competing product without prior written permission from the relevant rights holder.
If you believe material in the Services infringes your copyright or another intellectual-property right, contact help@drseusslearn.com with enough detail for us to identify the work, locate the material, understand the claimed right, and contact you.
If you voluntarily send us ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about the Services, you authorize BTM to use that feedback without restriction or payment to improve, operate, market, or develop the Services and other products. This paragraph does not apply to personal information, child-profile information, learning records, support records, or locally created artwork, which remain governed by the privacy and parental consent section, the parent-provided information section, and the Children’s Privacy Policy.
You retain any rights you may have in information you provide through the family account. You authorize BTM to host, process, reproduce, and otherwise use that information only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, support, and improve the Services, comply with law, and carry out the practices described in the Children’s Privacy Policy. This limited authorization continues only for as long as the information is retained and used for those purposes, including lawful retention, bounded backups, fraud prevention, and security needs described in the Children’s Privacy Policy.
Coloring artwork created in the current version of the App remains on the device unless the parent chooses to save it to the device’s camera roll. The Services do not upload or publish that artwork. If we later add an upload, sharing, classroom, community, or public-content feature, we will update the applicable terms and privacy disclosures before using that feature.
You and anyone using your family account must not:
We may update the games, books, activities, features, and technical requirements included in the Services. We do not promise that a particular title, activity, or feature will always remain available or that the Services will work on every device or operating-system version.
We will not intentionally eliminate the recurring value of a paid subscription. For a material adverse change to a paid Service, we will provide any notice, cancellation option, refund, or other remedy required by applicable law or the relevant billing platform.
The Services may download content or use remote-content delivery to provide or update games and activities. Internet access and sufficient device storage may be required. Your internet or mobile provider’s charges remain your responsibility.
The Services rely on app stores, payment processors, sign-in providers, hosting services, analytics, customer-support tools, and other operational providers. The Children’s Privacy Policy describes the categories of providers and our information practices. Your use of Apple, Google, Amazon, Stripe, or another third-party service is also subject to that provider’s terms and privacy practices.
Third-party platforms may control purchases, refunds, subscription management, device compatibility, authentication, or service availability. BTM remains responsible for the Services to the extent required by these Terms and applicable law, but is not responsible for a third party’s separate service or for an outage or action outside BTM’s reasonable control.
Support is available at help@drseusslearn.com. We may temporarily restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to address nonpayment, suspected fraud, account compromise, security threats, unlawful conduct, a material breach of these Terms, or a legal requirement. Where practical and safe, we will provide notice and an opportunity to correct the issue.
You may stop using the Services at any time and may request deletion of the family account as described in the Children’s Privacy Policy. Account deletion ends account and profile access and initiates deletion under the active-system, legal-retention, and bounded-backup periods described in the Children’s Privacy Policy, but does not itself cancel a subscription billed by Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Stripe, or another provider. You must cancel billing through the provider used to subscribe.
When these Terms end, the license granted above ends. Sections that by their nature should continue—including payment obligations already incurred, intellectual-property protections, warranty and liability provisions, dispute provisions, and general contract terms—survive.
The Services provide educational entertainment and supplemental learning activities. They do not guarantee any particular educational result and are not a substitute for a school curriculum, professional educational assessment, medical care, diagnosis, or therapy. Parents and guardians remain responsible for educational, health, and developmental decisions for their children.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. BTM DOES NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, PERMANENT AVAILABILITY OF ANY TITLE OR FEATURE, OR ANY PARTICULAR EDUCATIONAL RESULT.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES A WARRANTY OR CONSUMER RIGHT THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BTM AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BTM’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) CAD $100.
THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, OR NON-WAIVABLE CONSUMER RIGHTS.
To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify BTM against a third-party claim resulting from your intentional unlawful use of the Services, material breach of the acceptable-use section, or infringement of another person’s rights. BTM will give you reasonable notice of the claim and reasonable cooperation at your expense. BTM may control the defense, but you will not be responsible for a settlement entered without your consent unless the settlement provides only monetary relief paid under this section and contains no admission by you. This section does not apply to claims caused by BTM’s conduct or to ordinary authorized consumer use.
These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any non-waivable right to bring a claim elsewhere, the courts of British Columbia have jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights available where you live.
Before starting a formal proceeding, you and BTM are encouraged to contact the other party and try in good faith to resolve the dispute. After a dispute arises, the parties may mutually agree to mediation or arbitration. These Terms do not require pre-dispute arbitration and do not waive any right to participate in a class proceeding where that right cannot lawfully be waived.
We may update these Terms prospectively as the Services, our business, or legal requirements change. If a change materially affects existing rights or obligations, we will provide reasonable advance notice and request renewed acceptance when required by law. Changes do not retroactively alter a dispute that arose before the new effective date.
The effective date shown at the top identifies the version that applies. If you do not agree to an updated version, you may stop using the Services and cancel any renewing subscription, subject to the applicable billing provider’s cancellation rules.
If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. BTM may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of the Services, subject to applicable law and the Children’s Privacy Policy.
These Terms, the purchase or gift terms displayed to you, and any additional terms expressly presented for a feature form the entire agreement about use of the Services. The Children’s Privacy Policy describes our information practices and applies separately as stated in the privacy and parental consent section. If purchase-specific terms conflict with these Terms about price, billing period, trial, or renewal, the purchase-specific terms control for that transaction.
You may receive notices electronically at the parent email associated with the account, through the parent portal, or through the Services. You are responsible for keeping the parent email current.
Neither party is responsible for a delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as natural disasters, widespread network or utility outages, government actions, labor disruptions, or failures of an unaffiliated platform, except that this paragraph does not excuse payment obligations already incurred or duties that cannot lawfully be limited.
You may not use or export the Services in violation of applicable export-control or sanctions laws. By using the Services, you represent that you are not located in a country or region subject to a comprehensive Canadian or U.S. government embargo and are not prohibited from receiving the Services under applicable sanctions law.

This Appendix applies when you obtain or use the App through Apple’s App Store. If this Appendix conflicts with another provision of these Terms for an Apple-distributed copy of the App, this Appendix controls to the extent required by Apple’s applicable terms.
These Terms are between you and BTM, not Apple. BTM, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content, subject to these Terms and applicable law.
The license granted above is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by Apple’s Usage Rules, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing, volume purchasing, or another Apple-supported feature where applicable.
BTM, not Apple, is responsible for maintenance and support for the App as required by these Terms or applicable law. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support.
If the App itself fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price paid for the App, if any, as required by Apple’s terms. This sentence does not create an entitlement to a subscription refund. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App. BTM is responsible for any other warranty, claim, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty.
BTM, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to comply with legal requirements, and claims under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar law. BTM, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of a third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual-property rights.
You represent that you are not located in a country or region subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on a U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
The developer is Be The Monster Inc., at the address, email, and phone number in the contact section above. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App, including your wireless-data agreement.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to the App. When you accept these Terms, Apple has the right to enforce the Apple-specific provisions against you as a third-party beneficiary.
