RETURN POLICY

Evia Learning

Effective July 6, 2020; upd. Jan 12, 2023

July 2020: This establishes a new return policy for Evia Learning, effective for purchases submitted from July 6, 2020 forward. The main change in this policy update is to set a quantity limit on institutional/bookstore returns: going forward, only 20% of regular textbook and access card orders may be returned for credit. Digital access codes that were delivered digitally (ie, not on protected physical access cards) and custom textbooks are no longer eligible for return/credit.

Individual customer returns are covered by a separate policy, which has not changed. Individual customers should note that if they purchased items through a 3rd party such as a bookstore or used book vendor, they must contact that party to arrange a return. Evia Learning is not able to offer credit or a refund for items purchased through another source.

July 2021 update: Minor changes to the COVID receiving policy. Senders are no longer requested to waive signature request on shipments.

Please direct any questions to support@evialearning.com.

1.5.5 Stores that receive damaged items or an incorrect quantity of items in an order placed with Evia Learning should notify Evia Support at support@evialearning.com or orders@evialearning.com at the earliest opportunity so we can make the order right. Claims for shortages or damages must be made within 14 days of receipt to ensure damage or missing items could not have occurred after delivery outside the fault of Evia Learning or the shipping carrier. Claims for damage or missing items submitted after 14 days may not be decided in the store’s favor without other supporting evidence of the status of the shipment at time of receipt. Evia Learning will do its utmost to investigate all such claims and correct any evidence-supported errors.

The customer must include instructions on how to make the check out and where to send it. A customer may not request a check for a specific return credit if the overall account does not add up to a net credit balance. Credits will first be reserved against any outstanding debits on the account.

Product purchased from other sources (wholesalers, bookstores, online resellers, used book distributors) must be returned to the same source they were purchased from. If returned to Evia Learning, such products will not be credited and will only be returned at the customer’s expense.

2.3.2 Customers receive an automated email notification when their product ships, which includes a tracking number. Customers who do not see this notification should check their spam folder and/or search for incoming messages from the email address send-doc@thbred.com. If the customer cannot locate their tracking number, they may email support@evialearning.com to request the tracking information. It is the customer’s responsibility to be present at the time of delivery to receive the delivery. If the customer fails to do so and the delivery service leaves the package outside at the delivery location, Evia Learning cannot be held responsible for any intervening circumstance causing the customer not to receive the package. Such circumstances do not qualify for a refund.

2.3.3 Used Books, price stickered, security label/tagged product, water damaged or other types of damaged product are ineligible for credit and will be destroyed upon receipt by Evia Learning.

2.3.5 All customer returns must include a copy of the original packing slip, order invoice, or clearly written enclosure with the customer’s name and order number so the return can easily be identified upon receipt by Evia Learning. Evia Learning will make every reasonable effort to identify the sender of all returns to properly credit the sender, but if Evia Learning is not able to identify the sender of any return, a refund cannot be awarded.

2.3.6 All associated shipment and handling costs are the responsibility of the customer.

2.3.7 Evia Learning reserves the right to adjust the size of any refund offered at its discretion, including the right to refuse a refund. Examples of such contextual reasons could be in the case that: (1) a product was used to fulfill class requirements and (2) Evia Learning has reason to believe the student has already received or will receive class credit based on activity in the Evia Learning product or purchase status of the Evia Learning product.
