BJU Press Distance Learning via DVD
DVD Lease and Content Subscription Agreement
Terms and Conditions

In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, BJU Press and the Subscriber agree to the following conditions:

Lease Agreement

The Subscriber agrees that the DVDs are on lease from BJU Press and must be returned to BJU Press by the end of the lease period, unless prior arrangements have been made for reuse. Lessons from BJU Press Distance Learning are the content of BJ HomeSat and have viewing rights only. The lessons may not be duplicated, rented, sold, copied, or in any way distributed to anyone. The rights given in this Agreement are nontransferable.

The lease period is defined as 13 months from the original shipping date of the DVDs, which will be indicated on the invoice enclosed with the shipment.

The DVDs must be returned by the end of the 13 month lease period. Failure to return the DVDs by the end of the lease period will result in a penalty of $200 per month up to a maximum of $1,000. DVDs that are returned in an unusable condition will result in a penalty of up to a maximum of $500.

The DVDs should be returned in the original packaging.

Subscriber Approval

Pricing and program details are subject to change without notice. This Agreement is not final until accepted by the Home Offi ce of BJU Press.

Acceptance will be based in part on the following:

Qualification of the Subscriber as a residential home educator

The BJU Press Distance Learning DVD program is not available for group use. A school DVD package is available directly from BJU Press. Call 1.800.845.5731 for information on school use.

Satisfactory payment/credit arrangements with the Subscriber

BJU Press requires full payment at time of order. Payment can be made by credit card, in cash, or by check (U.S. funds only).

By placing an order with BJU Press, either by phone, fax, e-mail, Internet, or other method, the purchaser agrees to abide by all conditions of this Agreement.

Obligations and Qualifications

With this Agreement, BJU Press grants the Subscriber a limited viewing license for the lease period to use the DVDs solely in the Subscriber’s own homeschool. The Subscriber acknowledges that all video content remains the property of BJU Press and agrees to use the video content only for the purposes allowed by this agreement. Use of video content by non-subscribers is specifi cally prohibited and is a violation of copyright laws.

BJU Press permits the use of the DVD content by multiple children within your immediate family at no additional charge.

BJU Press permits subscribers to duplicate (and therefore assume responsibility for duplication of) any and all teacher-prepared handout materials for each course. This right to copy and reuse the handouts applies only to handouts—not to textbooks—and only to BJU Press Distance Learning Subscribers for use within their immediate family (children living in their home). BJU Press will provide these support materials for one year from the start of the lease period.

BJU Press will make every reasonable effort to address Subscriber issues in a timely fashion.

Obligations of the Subscriber

The Subscriber agrees to the terms of the lease agreement. The Subscriber also agrees to pay such taxes now or hereafter imposed on the lease and/or educational content in Subscriber’s own jurisdiction.

The Subscriber agrees to provide a DVD-R playback device. BJU Press Distance Learning DVD content will play on most approved DVD-R players and computers. If the Subscriber’s player will not play the DVD content, the Subscriber may return the DVDs within the fi rst thirty days from the original shipping date (See Returns Policy below).

The Subscriber acknowledges the right of BJU Press to restrict or terminate service for failure to pay, misuse of the Subscriber license rights, or violation of other provisions of this Agreement. The Subscriber also acknowledges the right of BJU Press to assess such late or collection fees as allowed by law.

It is understood that lessons from BJU Press Distance Learning are for viewing rights only. This is a license to lease the DVDs only—you may not pass on the license in any form. This license prohibits the Subscriber from renting, loaning, sharing, duplicating, or trading the content on the DVDs or handouts unless expressly allowed by this Agreement.

Availability of Video Content

All lessons are subject to inventory availability and subject to change without notice. Teachers may vary from year to year and are subject to change without notice. Lessons and teachers can be confi rmed at the time the order is accepted.

Agreement

The placement of an order affi rms the concurrence of the Subscriber with the terms of this Agreement and thereby binds the Subscriber to these terms. This Agreement supersedes any prior or existing proposals, whether oral or written, and all negotiations, conversations, discussions, and understandings between BJU Press and the Subscriber.

Money-Back Guarantee, Limitation of Liability

The Subscriber has the right to a full refund, excluding all shipping and handling charges paid at the time of the initial order, if not satisfi ed within the fi rst 30 days from the original shipping date.

Liability of BJU Press for any and all claims shall be limited to a refund of amounts paid by Subscriber.
