• My courses are sold on a PER-USER basis. Please don't share them with others.
• Make sure you try one of my free sample lessons BEFORE buying a bunch of them. This ensures that (a) you like them, and (b) they will work on your computer. Try playing any video in the Online Theater to make sure they work. The first lesson is usually free.
• I have a money-back guarantee, but only for ONE beginner lesson. You can't buy 20 tutorials and expect to return them. This guarantee is for beginner (Level 1 or 101) lessons only. It does not count towards more advanced lessons or seminars.
• Allow SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS for delivery of shipped CDs. We're a small family business, and we usually ship once a week, however if we're busy, sick, or on vacation your CD may not ship for a week or two. This is why we suggest you download your lessons or watch them in our Online Theater. Click here for details.
• I do my best to help my students as much as possible, but I can't GUARANTEE free technical support on the material covered in my lessons. Paid support is available, however.
• Your private information will NEVER be given to third parties. My customer database is sacred and is available only to me.

Now for the legal mumbo jumbo. By placing your order, you agree to these terms (so you should read them)...

If the user does not have Windows Media Player or Internet Explorer on his computer, or if these programs are not functioning properly, the User is responsible for obtaining an updated versions of these programs directly from Microsoft. As of the time of the writing of this Agreement, Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer are free downloads from www.microsoft.com.

You should download and try our free sample lessons to make sure they work on your computer before purchasing any courses.

The entire liability of Amicron and your exclusive remedy shall be, at Amicron’s sole discretion, the repair or replacement of the Software. These remedies are not available if the failure of the Software or media is the result of misuse, abuse or a failure to follow the operating instructions in the accompanying written materials, or if the media upon which our Software was shipped is damaged by the User. The Customer has 10 days from the date on which the order was shipped to report any media damaged in shipping.

Except for the limited warranty set forth herein, the software is provided as is. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Amicron disclaims all warranties, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement with respect to the software and the accompanying documentation. You assume responsibility for selecting the software to achieve your intended results, and for the installation of, use of, and results obtained from the software. Without limiting the foregoing provisions, Amicron makes no warranty that the software will be error-free or free from interruptions or other failures or that the software will meet your requirements. Some states and jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so the above limitation may not apply to you. The foregoing provisions shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, shall Amicron or its suppliers be liable to you or to any other person for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or for any and all other damages or losses. In no event will Amicron be liable for any damages in excess of the list price Amicron charges for a license to the software, even if Amicron has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some states and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation and exclusion may not apply to you. The foregoing provisions shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Should the Customer wish to return the Software for a refund, he has thirty (30) days from the purchased date of the Software to do so. Customer will be refunded a maximum of $5.99 for the software or the amount he paid for one course (whichever is less). Software must be returned in its original packaging, free from defects, in resalable condition. Customer is liable for the costs of return shipping. Please note that our money-back guarantee does not cover shipping and handling charges. You will be responsible for returning any CDs you do not wish to keep, and we will refund the total of $5.99 or the amount paid for one course (whichever is less) per customer, minus applicable shipping and handling fees. Returned CDs must be in their original, resalable condition with any and all packaging materials originally sent to customer. Note that we will only refund the maximum sum total of $5.99 to any customer, regardless of the number of courses purchased, or the total amount paid. We do this only to prevent people from frivolously ordering many courses, copying them, and then asking for their money back. If you're not sure whether or not you're going to like our product, we recommend you purchase one of our beginner courses for $5.99 to try us out. This is the only form of refund we will grant. Once you submit your order, there are no cancellations.

Customer should test one of our free sample demo lessons on their computer before purchasing our product. Demo lessons can be downloaded free of charge from our Web site. If the demo lessons play correctly on the customer's computer, then our full product should work as well. If the demo lessons do not play properly on the customer's computer, then they should seek technical support before purchasing our product. Amicron will not be liable for technical support should our product not work on the customer's computer and they did not try our demo lessons first. Refunds will not be given under these circumstances. Also, please also note that our money-back guarantee does not apply to downloaded orders, only those orders physically shipped on CD.

We make no claims or guarantees for delivery dates of our software or download availability. Times given for delivery dates are estimates generated by our web site based on the number of orders currently waiting to be shipped. Times given are estimates only. We will not guarantee a delivery date. Customer may not request a refund for products not received by any specified dates. If Customer does not receive any titles ordered, we will be happy to ship out a second copy of their order. We generally ship orders once a week. However, please allow six to eight weeks for a shipped CD order to arrive. This is why we strongly recommend you watch your courses online in our Web Theater, or download them from our web site. Additionally, courses purchased for download may not be available immediately, as some orders may been to be processed manually. This process is usually automatic, but for special orders may take up to 2 business days, depending on the nature of the order and the number of orders we currently have to process. Please note that orders paid for with a check or money order are held for 5 to 7 business days to wait for check clearance. Any checks returned for non-payment will incur a $25 fee.

Some of our video tutorials or handbooks may be listed on our order page as "under development." Customers may pre-order these items, and may receive a discount for doing so. This will place the customer on a "waiting list" for the item(s) in question. The customer's credit card will NOT be charged until the item is actually released and available for the customer. For the customer's convenience, they will receive the item as soon as its available, and will also be automatically added to the waiting list for the next item in the series, if applicable. The customer will be emailed a notification at least 24 hours before any additional items are added to their account, giving plenty of opportunity to cancel. Customer may be removed from the waiting list at any time by simply contacting customer service.

Customer may NOT broadcast our software over a closed-circuit television system or other broadcast television system. Customer may not show our software lessons to a group of people (employees, students, etc.) as in a classroom or seminar.
