Purchased or rented items may be returned for a refund within 30 days (30 days from ship date or the start date of classes, whichever gives you more time). Items must be in the exact condition they were in when received.
- Shrink-wrapped items cannot be returned if the wrapping is broken unless the items are defective.
- We cannot accept items for return if access codes/cards have been opened/scratched off or the pull tab torn or if CD-ROM or software package seals are broken.
