DVD Password Procedure:

When you receive your materials you will need to request the electronic files password by email. This is 1) for your protection; 2) helps us verify that the educator asking for the password is the one who ordered the material; 3) verifies that you have received the material in good condition; 4) that, if you have purchased a subscription edition that you agree to the license renewal requirement (classroom sets have no expiration or renewal requirement); 5) enroll you for mentoring teacher access that comes with your purchase; and 6) that we have a reliable email address at which we can notify you of updates, enrichments and other matters of interest to users.

SUBSCRIPTION RENEWALS: The subscription versions (eBook, DVD only and printed teacher edition subscription) are due for renewal at the end of the term, which is either a school year or a two-year term (for IB titles) from delivery. After the end of the subscription term, due to copyright and intellectual property rights, neither the electronic or printed materials may be used until either a subscription renewal or a minimum 25 printed student books (an upgrade to a class set with pertpetual license where no renewal is necessary) are purchased.

STUDENT BOOKS: eBook or printed editions may be ordered separately in any number with accompanying teacher manual order. The printed editions can be bound in one of two ways as either consumables or non-consumables based on your preference (click here for details).

DISCOUNT FOR CLASS SET UPGRADE: You may upgrade to a class set version by ordering 25 pre-printed student books (or more) and receive full credit (not including any shipping charges) toward that purchase based on your previous purchase of a teacher edition subscription version through the end of the current school year in which the subscription was purchased. The advantage: Class sets do not require renewal and reduces printing.

The advantage to purchasing the renewable subscription editions over classroom sets (described on another page under order options tab) is that the subscriptions do not require the purchase of pre-printed student activity books and therefore can be purchased at a lower price. On the flip side, classroom sets deliver all your student books pre-printed and do not require annual renewal. The subscription editions allow printing from the electronic files of the student materials including the activity book and, like many software and database subscriptions, are as a result annually renewable. When purchasing the subscription edition license you agree to the annual period of use. If you will be using the materials in succeeding school years, you will agree to renew the materials each year (or 2-years in the case of IB titles) until you discontinue use. With renewal, depending upon which version you purchase, you will receive a continued access to the files and renewed mentoring teacher email access.
