Standard Terms of Service and License
Effective: May 6, 2025
These Standard Terms of Service and License (the “Standard Terms”) govern a Member’s (as defined below) access, use, and purchase of Mystery Science and Mystery Writing applications, services, and membership (collectively “Mystery”), which are owned and operated by Discovery Education, Inc. (“Discovery”). These Standard Terms apply whether the Member accesses Mystery through software applications or the website (the “Services”). The Standard Terms also govern the Member’s use of the Services during any trial or pilot period (the “Trial”). These Standard Terms apply to any Order Form (as defined below) Discovery issues to the Member to provide access to the Services listed in the Order Form and to Member’s use of those Services. These Standard Terms supersede all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, communications, or understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. In no event shall the terms and conditions of any other purchase order or agreement amend or modify the terms and conditions of these Standard Terms.
Paid Memberships. Full, continuous access to the Mystery curriculum and lesson plans is only available with a paid membership (i.e., a subscription), which may not be reassigned, transferred, resold, or sublicensed without Discovery’s prior written consent. Limited access to the Mystery curriculums and lesson plans is available for free. School or district memberships may be purchased by the entity (“Member”) listed in the Order Form (as defined below) on a per site basis as indicated in an applicable Order Form, which entitles all of the teachers and staff (each, a “User”) at that site to create individual accounts which they may use to access the Services from anywhere on an unlimited number of devices. Homeschool memberships are for a single parent (also a “Member”) to use at home. Discovery may memorialize the sale of a membership using an Order Form, Storefront Quote, Credit Card Receipt, or Purchase Order, each of which shall be referred to as an “Order Form.”
Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Discovery grants to Member, and in the case of a Member that is a school or a district, Member’s authorized educators, teachers, staff, and administrators employed by Member or enrolled in Member’s program, as listed in the applicable Order Form (the “Users”), for the term stated on the applicable Order Form (“Term”), a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable and revocable license to access the Services and any and all content included therein (the “Content”), and to stream the Content pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Standard Terms. Discovery may, in its sole discretion, make changes to the Services and/or the Content. All rights not expressly granted to Member and its Users or Invited Users (as defined below) pursuant to the Standard Terms are reserved to Discovery, and all uses of the Content by Member and its Users not expressly permitted herein are prohibited.
Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted with those features. Discovery reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (or any portions of them). Member and Users and Invited Users (as defined below) agree that Discovery shall not be liable to them or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services (or any portions of them).
Permitted Uses. Member and its Users and Invited Users (as defined below) may use the Services and the Content for bona fide educational and research purposes only. For avoidance of doubt, Member and its Users and Invited Users shall not use or access such Services or Content for any commercial, for-profit, or non-instructional purposes, including but not limited to, user testing, product evaluation, or product reviews on behalf of non-Members or third parties. Discovery reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to limit Member’s and/or any Users’ and Invited Users’ use of the Services in the event that Discovery, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems Member’s and/or such Users’ and Invited Users’ use thereof to be inconsistent with these Standard Terms.
Downloading of Content. Members may use the Content for noncommercial instructional use, but Members and Users may not edit, modify, or download images, audio or video files, videos, or video clips. Such viewing and use of the Content shall be for individual Member and User convenience only, and Members, Users, and Invited Users may not (1) systematically download any of the Content, (2) create distribution “libraries;” (3) transfer, display, or exhibit any of the Content to any third party other than Users or Invited Users; or (4) sell or rent any of the Content to any third party. In the course of using any Content as permitted hereunder, Member, and its Users may not make the Content, or any part thereof, available to any party who is not a Member or a User, except as permitted herein. Members, Invited Users, and Users must delete, destroy, or erase all Content and any copies thereof after use or expiration of the Term, whichever occurs first.
Creating an Account. In most cases, the Services may only be used if the Member or User has an account with Discovery. By creating an account, the Member or User represents that: (a) all required information provided is truthful and accurate; (b) the Member or User is of legal age to agree to these Standard Terms; and (c) the Member's or User's use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation or these Standard Terms. When creating an account, the Member or User will be asked to choose a username and a password for the account, or they may use any other online account supported by Discovery. The Member or User may not use a username or user profile that is used by someone else or that violates these Standard Terms. Discovery reserves the right to reclaim any username that is inconsistent with or violates these Standard Terms.
Account Responsibilities. Member acknowledges and agrees to ensure that Member and its Users sign up for their own accounts and agree to, and comply with, these Standard Terms when they access and use the Services. Each User shall have a valid username and password and in certain circumstances, passcode and IP authentication, for the purpose of accessing the Services and the Content (the “Log-In Information”). Member and its Users must keep all Log-In Information strictly confidential, and all Log-In Information may be used only by the assigned User. Member and its Users are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of all Log-In Information, and for preventing access to the Services and/or the Content by unauthorized persons using a User’s Log-In Information. Unauthorized access to or use of the Services and/or the Content by someone using a User’s Log-In information may be attributed to such User and is prohibited by these Standard Terms. Member acknowledges that Discovery may require access to Member’s systems to perform single sign-on integration services to facilitate User access to the Service(s) and Content. Member hereby grants to Discovery a limited license to access such systems.
Student Access. The Services are intended for use primarily by teachers, parents, and other educational service providers. Anyone under 18 (“Students”) may not access the Services directly themselves. Rather Students may receive temporary access and use of the Services only with the consent or involvement of their parent or legal guardian, where Students access and use the Services by utilizing an anonymous student link provided by an educator, parent, or legal guardian, or by using their parent’s or guardian’s account. Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is solely and exclusively responsible for: (a) obtaining all consents as may be required by data protection laws for Students to gain temporary access to the Services and Content via the anonymous student link, and (b) ensuring that Students comply with these Standard Terms when they access and use the Services.
Invited Users. As part of the Services, Discovery may allow the Member or User to create and share a link to certain limited Content and features within the Services to grant other individuals (“Invited Users”) temporary access to such Content and features. Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is solely and exclusively responsible for ensuring that its Invited Users comply with these Standard Terms when they access and use the Services.
Privacy. Discovery’s processing of personal information (i.e., information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular person) is described in Discovery’s Privacy Notice located at https://www.discoveryeducation.com/legal/privacy/privacy-policy/.

All data will be collected, stored, and processed in the United States.
Export Controls. Discovery controls and operates its sites from Discovery’s offices in the United States of America. Discovery does not represent that materials on its sites are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Persons who choose to access Discovery’s sites from other locations do so on their own initiative, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. All parties to these Standard Terms waive their respective rights to a trial by jury. Member agrees that its licensed use of the Services is for its own use, not for resale, export, re-export, or transfer. Member’s purchase is subject to, and Member is responsible for, compliance with the export control and economic sanctions laws of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions (“Export Laws”). Member’s license to the Services may not be sold, leased, or transferred to restricted countries, restricted end users, or for restricted end uses according to the Export Laws.
Fees. Discovery charges fees for the use of certain products or services, and for access and use of certain content and features on the Services, which are described in the Services. These fees can change at any time. By selecting the Services, Member agrees to pay the applicable fees on or before the due date. Member represents and warrants that it has the legal right to use all payment method(s) it provides to Discovery. Discovery may invoice the Member for any fees due. Member shall remit payment to Discovery within 30 days of receiving Discovery’s invoice. Or the Member may choose to pay the fees by credit or debit card.

Discovery reserves the right to assess vs account any fees due and Member agrees to timely pay the applicable fees assessed to its account. Member’s failure to pay the fees in accordance with these Standard Terms shall constitute a material breach. All fees paid by Member are final, non-cancelable, and non-refundable. Canceling the Services does not entitle the Member to a refund, partial credit, or relieve the Member of any remaining payment obligations for the remainder of the Term of the Services on the applicable Order Form.
Shipping. If Member’s purchase includes Mystery Packs, described at https://mysteryscience.com/packs, then this section applies. Mystery Packs are shipped domestically within the United States of America only. Mystery Packs are shipped F.O.B. origin.

If Mystery Packs are returned for any reason, Member shall pay Discovery the cost of restocking and shipping back the Mystery Packs. Discovery will replace missing or damages items if Member notifies Discovery within 30 days of delivery of the Mystery Pack. If such notification occurs after the 30 days, Member must cover the costs associated with replacing missing or damaged items. All fees Member pays for Mystery Packs and shipping are final and non-refundable.
