Terms of use

Free to use

AbacusPlay is free for personal, family, homeschool and classroom use. You do not need an account. Teachers may print worksheets from the worksheet maker for their own classes, as many copies as they need.

What belongs to whom

The lessons, text, drawings, abacus engine and site design are AbacusPlay's own work. PlayBuddy and PlayType are the characters of our sister site TypePlay and are used here with its permission. Please do not copy the lessons, characters or code to another website or app, or use them to train AI systems, without written permission.

No guarantees

We work hard to make every lesson correct and the site reliable, but it is provided as it is, without warranties. Abacus practice improves arithmetic skills for most children; results differ from child to child, and we make no promises about school grades or test scores.

Children

The site is designed for children to use with a parent or teacher nearby. It has no chat, no messages and no way for children to share personal information. See the privacy policy.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the last change. Questions: [email protected].
