CONTENT REQUESTS

We understand the uncertain feeling a parent may have about not viewing the entire contents of a book or desiring more information about a product. We are also confident that Jesus knows the needs of each of your children. The best decisions about textbooks and school materials are made through prayer to Him and by acting in faith on His answers.

In contrast to other publishers, our web site contains a significant amount of information about each product, which may also help you.

COPYRIGHT LAW

All of our intellectual materials (books, magazine, and web site text and graphics) are registered with the Copyright Office in Washington D.C., whose job is to verify and aid authors in the case of infractions. Copying our products is not permitted and is punishable by rather large fines and/or jail time.

Copyrighted text and graphics are protected for the life of the author/artist plus 70 years after his/her death.

COPYING POLICY

1. WE DO NOT ALLOW COPYING THE CONTENTS OF OUR BOOKS.
(We, however, reserve the right to include a page whose instruction gives copying permission for only that page.)

Writing is a profession just like any other career. A writer develops and uses his/her God-given skills and talents to effectively communicate and teach valuable information to the public. The Bible teaches that a laborer is worthy to be paid for this work.

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double respect, especially those who labor in the word and teaching. For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain," and, "the laborer is worthy of his wages." 1Timothy 5:17-18

If you do not completely understand this, try to imagine if your husband's employer decided not to pay him for his work. Could you eat, clothe your children, house them, and keep them warm?

Our staff comes from home school families. They have a special insight into the home school classroom and its education process. We ask that you please respect these authors, editors, artists, and others, whose talents create unique home school books and education materials for your students, by obeying copyright laws and our policies.

2. IT IS NOT ETHICAL FOR US TO SUGGEST USING ANY OTHER MEANS TO CIRCUMVENT BUYING ADDITIONAL BOOKS FOR MULTIPLE STUDENTS.

Many customers ask us how they might use our product for multiple students without purchasing additional copies. Please understand that this is not a fair question to ask a publisher. We respect our staff and consider it an ethical as well as a fiduciary responsibility to protect their work and compensate them for their contributions to intellectual property.

DISCOUNTS

Our products are priced fairly with the home school family budget in mind. They are considerably lower than our competitors, which translates into an already built-in discount. To compare prices and the value added to your shopping budget, visit our Price Comparison page. Once you see what a great value our products are, you'll understand why we do not need to offer any other type of discounts.

Subscribers to the Happy Home School Magazine find monthly product discounts in our "Seasons of Joy" edition.

ORDERING WISDOM

Your children and home school are some of the most important things in your life. If you put off ordering your home school needs until late in the season, you will surely increase your stress and confusion for the school year.

Jesus knows the needs of each of your children. The best decisions about textbooks and school materials are made through prayer to Him and by acting in faith on His answers. Then, when you receive the textbooks and workbooks do not judge Jesus' wisdom based on looks, format, or length. Remember Jesus is concerned with content and Biblical truth.

If you order late (after August 15th), due to the high volume of sales at this time, we cannot guarantee shipping times or quick customer service. To be fair to customers, we operate on a "first in, first out" basis.

RETURNING PURCHASED PRODUCTS

All returns must be accompanied by a Sales Receipt copy within 30 days of the purchase date. All items must be received in perfect, saleable condition. No markings of any kind are allowed on returned products. Use a strong corrugated box with adequate packaging material.

A 20% restocking fee will be applied to all returns. Additional reductions may also be deducted for damaged items. Return shipping costs will not be reimbursed.

SAMPLES

For our valued retail customers, we have filled our web site with explanations and content information for all of our textbooks and workbooks.

We do not provide any other form of sample pages or books to any person or group who is not one of our approved retail stores or accredited private schools.
