3.  PAYMENT, REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY

Refund Policy

COMPANY does not offer a refund for any of its programs.

Single Purchases

When you make a single purchase (versus purchase a recurring subscription), the credit card you provide will be charged for the total purchase amount of all the items in your shopping cart when you complete the order.

Recurring Purchases

Our Membership Programs consist of individual Teacher Memberships (for a single license) and Multi-User Memberships.  Please contact us as listed below for more details regarding our Multi-User Membership Programs.  

If you have purchased access to one of our recurring Teacher Membership Programs, you hereby authorize regularly scheduled charges to your credit card or Pay Pal account (whichever was provided with your order).  You will be charged the agreed upon rebill amount on each respective billing period (i.e. monthly, yearly, etc.) that you signed up for (the “rebill date”). Your rebill date will be on the same day of the month as when you initially purchased your order for COMPANY’s services or products, unless a particular month doesn’t have that rebill date, in which case your rebill date would be moved to the last day of the respective month. For example, if your rebill date is the 31st, your rebill date would be January 31, February 28, and March 31 etc. 

You may cancel your subscription for the services or products from COMPANY before the next billing period by logging into your Membership Account, clicking on Subscriptions, and then selecting Cancel.  If you have trouble cancelling your subscription using this method, please send an email to us from your email address on file to the contact information listed in the section entitled “Contacting Us”.

If you were not satisfied with your single purchase item or our Membership Program, we would appreciate you emailing us to let us know your concerns so that we may better serve you. 

4.  PRODUCT DELIVERY / MEMBERSHIP SITE / CONDUCT

A.  For products that you purchase from us that are delivered through a download link, you will be given a URL to access and download the product(s) you purchased.  In such instances, you agree not to share the download link with other people who did not purchase the product(s).

B. For products that you purchase from us that are delivered through a membership site (such as our Teacher Membership Programs), you will be given a username and password to access the course materials and tools. In such instances, you agree not to share your login information with other people who did not purchase the product(s).  You will not sell access to this program or duplicate and sell any of its content without written permission.  For example, if you have purchased a single teacher license, then only one teacher is authorized to use that login.  If additional teachers in your school wish to use those materials, please contact us for a Multi-User Membership. 

C.  If you have purchased one of our Teacher Membership Programs, you are authorized to share the course materials in that program privately with your students (i.e. in your own class(es)).  You are authorized to send the course materials to students by email, put the course materials on a learning management system, or a private Dropbox or similar folder that only your students can access.  You are strictly prohibited from putting the materials anywhere that could be indexed by Google and doing so would be a violation of these license terms.  You are also strictly prohibited from modifying the course materials and cannot profit from or resell the course materials.  As mentioned previously in the billing section, once you terminate your membership in the Teacher Membership Program, you must remove all course materials and cease using them in your classrooms or for any purpose.
