Terms and Conditions for Pennington Publishing Books, Resources, and Apps

Last Updated June 9, 2023

All sales are final. Since each product includes the entire contents as digital files, no returns of digital nor print products are permitted. Thank you for your understanding.

The Publisher makes no representation or warranties of any kind, including but not limited to, the warranties of fitness for particular purpose or merchantability, nor are any such representations implied with respect to the material set forth herein, and the publisher takes no responsibility with respect to such material. The publisher shall not be liable for any special, consequential, or exemplary damages resulting, in whole or part, for the readers’, teachers', staff members', or students’ reliance upon, this material.

For digital downloads: In the event of lost files, Pennington Publishing will re-send the digital files of any purchased book or the activation code for any app upon email request. Please provide the book or app title, your name or school, the invoice number and/or the date of purchase.

Your License to use our any Pennington Publishing program or app is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Pennington Publishing grants you, the single teacher or designated user a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, license to access and use the program or app in perpetuity. The license does not belong to an organization, school, school district, tutoring center, purchasing agent, or company, irrespective of the purchaser.

One designated teacher or user owns the program or app license, which may not be shared or copied for any other teacher or user, and the license remains with the teacher or user, not with the school.

For example, a teacher may not share use of the program or app with another teacher, para-professional, or staff member. A teacher leaving a school takes the license with him or her even if the program or app was not purchased by the teacher. The license is not transferred to another teacher at the same school; the school would need to purchase the program or app and designate a different teacher or user to serve as the licensee. 

You shall not (a) copy for the purpose of distribution any part, feature, function or user interface thereof (b) use or modify any part of any program or app to store or transmit infringing, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, or to store or transmit material in violation of third-party privacy rights (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to program files or app or its related systems or networks; and (d) reverse engineer any Pennington Publishing app (to the extent such restriction is permitted by law).

 

Privacy Policy and Accessibility Report for Pennington Publishing Apps

Last Updated June 9, 2023

For apps: Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your information, while our Acceptable Use Policy outlines your responsibilities when using our app. By using our app, you’re agreeing to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and to review the following Privacy and Acceptable Use policies. Any faculty or staff member or your organization using our app are also bound by these Terms.

e-Comments Chrome Extension Privacy Policy

The following section covers limitations and specific application of the comprehensive Privacy Policy regarding Pennington Publishing's e-Comments Chrome Extension. See the comprehensive VCAT and WCAG 2.0 Privacy and Accessibility document for complete information.

The e-Comments Chrome Extension uses Google Sign-In and Google Drive purely for the purpose of allowing the user to save and sync comment data between devices that they are logged into. Only the user has access to this data, except for comment data which the user chooses to share. Pennington Publishing has no access to personally-identifiable data shared in any
Google apps by means of the e-Comments Chrome extension; thus,
no data is shared for commercial purposes.

Use of the e-Comments Chrome Extension by Students

The e-Comments Chrome Extension does not facilitate the transmission or storage of data on any device other than the user's personal devices and Google Drive account, except when the user chooses to post comments on a shared Google Doc or Slide file.

Teachers, parents, and legal guardians assume full responsibility and complete liability for monitoring Students' use of the e-Comments Chrome extension and the data children share via the Google apps or by any other means
of transmission. Pennington Publishing has no access to the personally-identifiable data of children nor adults. Thus, no data is examined, nor shared for commercial purposes.

When using a license for multiple users, also known as a group or site license, only the single license holder who purchased the e-Comments Chrome Extension or authorized designee shares email contact information with Pennington Publishing to activate the license. The purchaser or designee activates the users' accounts via their respective emails. Pennington Publishing
has no access to user emails.
