Terms of Use
Last updated: November 1, 2026
History Illustrated is run by one teacher. This page covers two things: this website and the History Illustrated Games app. Pick the one you want.
Part one
The website
These terms cover historyillustrated.com. By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
Everything here is free. Watch it, play it, print it, and use it in your classroom. Don't sell it or pass it off as your own. We make it carefully, but we can't promise it will always be perfect.
What you may do
- Watch the videos and play the games, at home or with a class.
- Download, print and photocopy the lessons, activities, coloring pages and images for your own use, your classroom, your homeschool or your family.
- Post a file for your own students in a class system such as Google Classroom or Canvas.
- Share links to any page on this site with anyone.
What you may not do
- Sell the downloads, games, videos or artwork, or include them in anything you sell. That includes teacher marketplaces.
- Post the files on another website for the public to download. Link to this site instead.
- Remove the History Illustrated name from a file, or present the work as your own.
- Use the artwork, logos or characters in your own products.
- Copy the site's content in bulk, or use it to train AI systems.
Want to do something that is not listed? Ask. The answer is often yes.
Who owns what
The videos, games, lessons, artwork, writing, logos and the History Illustrated name belong to History Illustrated. Being free to use does not make them free to resell.
History and accuracy
Everything here is made for learning. We work hard to get the history right, but short videos and games simplify things, and mistakes can happen. Please don't treat this site as your only source for schoolwork or research. If you spot an error, tell us and we'll fix it.
Game progress
Games on this site save progress and high scores in your browser. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, that progress is gone and we have no way to bring it back.
No guarantees
The site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We don't promise it will be free of errors or always available. We may change, update, or remove videos, games, downloads or pages at any time.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, History Illustrated is not liable for any damages that come from using or being unable to use the site.
Links that leave the site
Some pages show or link to YouTube, Google Drive and other services. Those services have their own terms.
Privacy
See our Privacy page for what the site collects, which is very little.
Part two
The History Illustrated Games app
These terms cover the History Illustrated Games app. By using the app, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
The app is free. Play it, enjoy it, share your results. Don't copy it or sell it. We make it carefully, but we can't promise it will always be perfect.
Using the app
You may download and use the app for your own personal, non-commercial enjoyment. Teachers are welcome to use it with their students.
You may not:
- Copy, resell, or redistribute the app or its games.
- Take apart or modify the app's code.
- Use the artwork, logos, or characters in your own products.
Who owns what
The app, its games, artwork, writing, logos, and the History Illustrated name belong to History Illustrated. Sharing your results, screenshots, or videos of you playing is fine and encouraged.
History and accuracy
The games are made for fun and learning. We work hard to get the history right, but games simplify things, and mistakes can happen. Please don't treat the app as your only source for schoolwork or research. If you spot an error, tell us and we'll fix it.
Your progress
Your progress, streaks, and stamps are saved only on your device. If you delete the app, reset it, or change devices, that progress is gone and we have no way to bring it back.
No guarantees
The app is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We don't promise it will be free of errors, always available, or work on every device. We may change, update, or remove games or features at any time.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, History Illustrated is not liable for any damages that come from using or being unable to use the app.
Links that leave the app
Some buttons open our website, our YouTube channel, or the App Store. Those services have their own terms.
Privacy
The app collects no information about you. See our Privacy Policy.
Apple
If you downloaded the app from the App Store, Apple's standard license agreement also applies. These terms are between you and History Illustrated, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
Changes, law and contact
If these terms change, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Continuing to use the site or the app means you accept the new version.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
