1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or have verifiable parental/guardian consent if you are under 18. Schools may register on behalf of their students with appropriate authorisation.

You are responsible for the security of your account and for all activity under it. Do not share credentials. Notify our Grievance Officer immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, sexually explicit, hateful, or otherwise harmful.

4. User submissions & licence

You retain ownership of work you submit. You grant K12 Times a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to host, reproduce, distribute, translate, and publicly display your submission within the Service (including in our newsletter and AI-readable summaries). You may withdraw this licence by deleting your submission, except for already-distributed newsletter copies.

5. Moderation

All submissions undergo automated and (where applicable) human moderation. We may remove content that violates these Terms, the law, or community standards, and may suspend or terminate accounts for repeated violations. We will give reasons on request and you may appeal to our Grievance Officer.
