Full license terms

DMIS Family Learning License, version 1.0, effective 24 October 2026.

  1. What this license covers

    This license covers the original books, stories, characters, games, illustrations, audio, videos, software and other learning materials published by Dad & Mom International School ("DMIS", "we") on dadmominternationalschool.com (the "Materials").

  2. Who may use the Materials

    You may use the Materials for free if you are a parent, guardian or family member educating children in your own family, including through homeschooling, worldschooling, roadschooling or unschooling (a "Family").

  3. What you may do

    As a Family, you may:

    • view, read, play and use the Materials with the children in your family;
    • download and print copies for the children in your family to use;
    • share links to our website with other people.
  4. What you may not do

    Unless we have given you permission in writing, you may not:

    • use the Materials for any commercial purpose, including selling them, charging for access to them, or using them in paid lessons, tuition, courses, camps, products, apps or services;
    • use the Materials in or for a school, homeschool co-op, learning pod, learning centre, company, charity or any other organisation;
    • copy, upload, publish, distribute or share the Materials themselves (rather than a link to our website);
    • modify, adapt, translate or build on the Materials and share or publish the result;
    • remove our name, credits or copyright notices from the Materials;
    • use the Materials to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
  5. Who owns the Materials

    The Materials remain the property of their creators. This license lets you use them; it does not transfer ownership. The DMIS books and their characters, including Charlie the Rainbow Dragon, are created by our young author Ee Jin and remain her work. Everything not expressly allowed by this license is reserved.

  6. Other people's names and characters

    Some fan-made Materials mention or are inspired by characters, games and brands that belong to others, such as Pokémon and Minecraft. Those names and characters belong to their owners. We are not connected with or endorsed by them, and this license only covers our own original work.

  7. No warranty

    The Materials are made with love by a family and provided "as is", without any warranty. We do our best to keep them accurate and working, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that comes from using them. Grown-ups should decide what is suitable for their own children.

  8. If the terms are broken

    If you break these terms, your permission to use the Materials ends automatically. If you fix the problem within 30 days of finding out about it, your permission comes back.

  9. Changes to this license

    We may update this license from time to time. Each version shows its own number and date at the top. The version on this page at the time you use the Materials is the one that applies.

  10. Asking for permission

    Want to use the Materials in a way not covered here, such as in a classroom, a co-op or a commercial project? Send us a message through our Ko-fi page and tell us what you have in mind. These terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia.

Keep DMIS free for families
