Terms of Service

ICONIX Learning Pods · Effective October 5, 2026

1. Who we are, and what these terms cover

ICONIX Learning Pods ("ICONIX," "we," "us") operates an online homeschool learning community where teacher-led pods publish weekly lessons, live sessions, community discussion, and progress tracking, and where families can purchase recorded workshops. These terms are a contract between you and Missing Key Inc., 385 Turner Dr, McDonough, GA 30252, governing your use of the service. By creating an account or making a purchase you agree to them, and to our Privacy Policy.

2. Accounts and eligibility

Accounts are for adults: you must be at least 18 and the parent or legal guardian of any child you add. Children do not get logins — a child appears only as a learner record that you create and control, as described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for your account credentials and for the accuracy of what you provide.

3. Membership, billing, and cancellation

Browsing the public site is free. Access to pods, the curriculum library and the School Box requires the Family Plan: one subscription per household, at the price shown before you subscribe, covering every child in your family. Payments are processed by Stripe — we never see your full card details.

Your first month is prorated: on the day you join you pay for the days left in that calendar month, including the day you join, and every month after that is charged in full on the 1st. Adding a second pod part-way through a month is prorated the same way.

You can cancel at any time from your account. Access continues through the period you have already paid for, and we do not refund partial periods unless the law where you live requires it — except that the first charge after a free trial is refunded in full if you ask within 48 hours of it (Section 3a). If a payment fails we keep your access open for a short grace period and email you before anything closes, and your children's records are never deleted when a membership lapses.

Where the Perfect Month program is active for your household, a renewal charge for a pod may be reduced when that pod's weekly videos for the qualifying period have all been signed off, on the criteria shown in the service at the time. Any reduction applies only to a later renewal charge for that pod — never to the first payment you make when you join — must be earned again in each billing period, and has no cash value. The program is a standing feature of the service rather than a time-limited promotion, and we may change or end it going forward as described in Section 8.

3a. Free trials

If we offer you a free trial of the Family Plan, it works like this. It is for new families only, one per family (we check the household, the email address and the card), and it is the Family Plan with one pod. A card is required to start it, and nothing is charged that day. The trial lasts at least 7 days and ends at the moment shown to you before you agree. A trial that would end on a date the following month doesn't have (such as the 31st) runs on to the 1st instead.

When the trial ends, your card is charged for the rest of that calendar month, by the day (the same rule as any new membership) — or for the whole month, if the trial ends on the 1st — and then the full monthly price on the 1st of every month until you cancel. We email you two days before that first charge.

You can cancel at any time before the trial ends — from the Billing page in your account (Manage billing), by emailing iconix@iconixlearningpods.com, or by texting 231-360-0751 — and you won't be charged anything; you keep access until the trial ends. We place your family in a pod within 1 business day of the trial starting. Trials are not extended; if we place you late, we credit you for the delay. During the trial you can download or print up to 5 curriculum files (reading in the portal is unlimited); downloads open fully when your membership begins.

If the first charge fails, your access pauses straight away, and we keep your account open for at least 7 days so you can pay; paying restores everything. If you ask within 48 hours of the first charge, we refund it in full.

4. One-time purchases (workshops and assessments)

Workshops and assessments are one-time purchases tied to your household account. They give your household ongoing access to the recording and materials for personal, non-commercial use — they are licensed to you, not sold, and may not be re-shared, re-sold, or redistributed.

5. Your content and ours

You keep ownership of what your family posts and uploads; you give us the limited license needed to host and display it inside the service. The ICONIX curriculum, lessons, frameworks (including Visuflect™), recordings, and branding are ours or our licensors' and are protected by copyright and trademark law — you may use them within the service and print materials for your own family's learning, and nothing more.

6. Community conduct

This is a community with children's families in it. No harassment, hate, sexual content, spam, scraping, impersonation, or attempts to break or probe the service. Pod leaders and administrators may remove content or accounts that put the community at risk; where practical we'll warn you first.

7. Educational disclaimer

ICONIX provides curriculum and community support — it is not a school, does not award accredited diplomas, and does not provide medical, psychological, or legal advice. You remain responsible for compliance with the homeschooling laws that apply to your family.

8. Service changes and termination

We may add, change, or retire features as the service evolves. You can close your account at any time (with export and deletion rights described in the Privacy Policy); we may suspend or terminate accounts that break these terms. If we ever discontinue the service, we will give reasonable notice and a chance to export your data.

9. Disclaimers and limits of liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties beyond those the law requires. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim is limited to the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

10. Changes to these terms; contact

If we materially change these terms we'll notify account holders and update the effective date above; continuing to use the service after that means you accept the changes. Questions about these terms: iconix@iconixlearningpods.com. Governing law: the State of Georgia.
