BrainPOP strives to provide users with quality content on a daily basis. In addition to internet streaming costs, producing quality content and updating the site can be costly. Rather than running ads on the site, it was decided that a subscription based service would be better for all concerned. |

For example, to reference the Pirates movie after watching it on September 1, 2007, the reference would be:
"Pirates." BrainPOP. BrainPOP. September 1, 2007. <http://www.brainpop.com/socialstudies/culture/pirates/>. |

Family Monthly Billing Plan Subscription: If service is terminated for any user after the original activation date for that user but before the end of the term, or if termination follows the user's default, the user will be in material breach of this agreement. The user agrees that BrainPOP's damages will be difficult or impossible to determine and agrees to pay BrainPOP, as a reasonable estimate of damages and in addition to all other amounts owing, a cancellation fee in the amount of $35. Payment of the cancellation fee will not relieve the user of any obligations owed to BrainPOP prior to the termination date. In the case of any termination, the user will be responsible for payment of all fees and charges through the end of the billing cycle in which termination occurs.
You understand and agree that cancellation of your account is your sole right and remedy with respect to any dispute you may have with BrainPOP. BrainPOP also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately, without notice, suspend or terminate your or your child's membership in and/or ability to access BrainPOP, specific sections of BrainPOP or any other BrainPOP website.

Some of you have contacted us regarding the recent upgrades we've given to a few of our movies. Over the past six months, our editorial and production teams have been hard at work taking some of our older movies to the next level! We've fixed a few mistakes, updated some current-events-related information, and rewritten a few movies to make them more useful based on educator feedback. In some cases we've also consolidated movies that were very similar in content or simply moved movies into more appropriate subcategories. We apologize for any inconvenience while we finish up this process, and we hope you will enjoy our new movie versions, which we think are richer and, well, better than ever! |
Our old activity pages have been disabled to make room for new and improved activity pages, which will be much better! There will eventually be a new activity page for each movie topic, and they will include easy and hard versions for different grade levels, as well as answer keys. They will also be much more directly related to the movies themselves.
You should start seeing our new BrainPOP activity pages by the Spring of 2008. In the meantime, we realize that you might still find our old
activity pages useful, so we're making them available for download here.
