Last Updated as of April 9, 2014For Kids:This is legal stuff that helps to make sure you and the people who operate www.berenstainkids.com agree on how you can use this website. If you are not an adult (if you are younger than 18 years of age, in most states), you need to get your parent’s permission before using this website, and you should go over this section, as well as our Privacy Policy https://www.berenstainkids.com/privacy_policy.html, with them. Generally, you shouldn’t use this or any other website without your parent’s permission. Also, make sure your parents take a look at our “Kids Site Activities” section https://www.berenstainbears.com/kids.html, which will outline the site-specific benefits of the Kids Site at https://www.berenstainkids.com There are a lot of things on this website that you’ll find fun and interesting, but mostly it has stuff for parents, teachers and other grown-ups that probably won’t interest you much. So long as your parents say its OK, you are free to visit both the Parents and the Kids websites, and you can of course play the games (indeed, we hope you will), but it’s not OK to copy any games or other parts of the websites except when you’re just printing one or two pages for your own use. A good example of this is the coloring book pages you’ll find in Brother and Sister’s room on the Kids site. It’s OK to print a couple of copies of those pages so you can color them in, but it’s NOT OK to print ten copies of all the pages and sell them to your friends. In addition, you shouldn’t let other people use the website by pretending to be you. This is true for all websites, not just the Berenstain sites.Some of the parts of this website are or may, in the future, become interactive, meaning you and other people can add things to the website, like comments and maybe even pictures and other things. Don’t put anything on the website that is deliberately mean, insults other people, or is something that you’d probably get in trouble for doing if you did it at home. If someone else puts something on the website that you don’t like or that embarrasses you or makes you feel bad or uncomfortable, you should tell your parents right away. If they agree with you, they can help you to contact us to let us know (or you can do it yourself by sending an e-mail to info@berenstainkids.com) and we may take that stuff off the website.If you are less than 18 years of age (or the age of majority if the age of majority is older than 18 where you live) you need your parent’s permission to use this website. If you are less than 13 years of age and you want to provide us with any information about yourself, like your name and email address, you need your parent’s permission, and we’ll need their email address so that we can contact them. Your parents will need to print, complete, and mail the form at https://www.berenstainkids.com/parents/parental_consent_form.html and send it to us. This form helps us make sure that only your parents will receive information about you and your use of the website. The rest of this part of the website, below, is primarily for grown-ups, and you might find it kind of boring, but you’re welcome to read it if you want. Have a great time on our website, and let us know if we can help you with anything by going to info@berenstainkids.com.Legal Agreement; RevisionsWelcome to www.berenstainkids.com, the official website for the Berenstain Bears.

Terms of Service
Last Updated as of April 9, 2014For Kids:This is legal stuff that helps to make sure you and the people who operate www.berenstainkids.com agree on how you can use this website. If you are not an adult (if you are younger than 18 years of age, in most states), you need to get your parent’s permission before using this website, and you should go over this section, as well as our Privacy Policy https://www.berenstainkids.com/privacy_policy.html, with them. Generally, you shouldn’t use this or any other website without your parent’s permission. Also, make sure your parents take a look at our “Kids Site Activities” section https://www.berenstainbears.com/kids.html, which will outline the site-specific benefits of the Kids Site at https://www.berenstainkids.com There are a lot of things on this website that you’ll find fun and interesting, but mostly it has stuff for parents, teachers and other grown-ups that probably won’t interest you much. So long as your parents say its OK, you are free to visit both the Parents and the Kids websites, and you can of course play the games (indeed, we hope you will), but it’s not OK to copy any games or other parts of the websites except when you’re just printing one or two pages for your own use. A good example of this is the coloring book pages you’ll find in Brother and Sister’s room on the Kids site. It’s OK to print a couple of copies of those pages so you can color them in, but it’s NOT OK to print ten copies of all the pages and sell them to your friends. In addition, you shouldn’t let other people use the website by pretending to be you. This is true for all websites, not just the Berenstain sites.Some of the parts of this website are or may, in the future, become interactive, meaning you and other people can add things to the website, like comments and maybe even pictures and other things. Don’t put anything on the website that is deliberately mean, insults other people, or is something that you’d probably get in trouble for doing if you did it at home. If someone else puts something on the website that you don’t like or that embarrasses you or makes you feel bad or uncomfortable, you should tell your parents right away. If they agree with you, they can help you to contact us to let us know (or you can do it yourself by sending an e-mail to info@berenstainkids.com) and we may take that stuff off the website.If you are less than 18 years of age (or the age of majority if the age of majority is older than 18 where you live) you need your parent’s permission to use this website. If you are less than 13 years of age and you want to provide us with any information about yourself, like your name and email address, you need your parent’s permission, and we’ll need their email address so that we can contact them. Your parents will need to print, complete, and mail the form at https://www.berenstainkids.com/parents/parental_consent_form.html and send it to us. This form helps us make sure that only your parents will receive information about you and your use of the website. The rest of this part of the website, below, is primarily for grown-ups, and you might find it kind of boring, but you’re welcome to read it if you want. Have a great time on our website, and let us know if we can help you with anything by going to info@berenstainkids.com.Legal Agreement; RevisionsWelcome to www.berenstainkids.com, the official website for the Berenstain Bears.
