Full access to Lesson Planet requires the purchase of a paid Membership plan. By purchasing a Membership, you represent that you are 18 years or older and that you are authorized to use the chosen Payment Method for the purpose of purchasing a Membership as described herein. A Membership is valid only for the Member for whom it is purchased and is otherwise non-transferable.
To sign up for a 10-Day Free Trial (“Free Trial”) at Lesson Planet, you must provide an email address and a current, valid accepted payment method as indicated during sign-up (“Payment Method”). YOU MAY CANCEL AT ANY TIME DURING YOUR FREE TRIAL. IF YOU CANCEL PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL, NO CHARGE WILL BE MADE TO YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. If you sign up using an American Express card, we will run an authorization in the amount of $1 to validate the credit card number. The $1 will be immediately re-credited to your account. You will have full access to Lesson Planet for 10 days from the date you sign up (or as otherwise specified if your Free Trial is extended). You will not receive notice from us that your Free Trial has ended or that your paid Membership period has begun.
Membership Fee
If you do not cancel on or before the last day of your Free Trial, your Payment Method will be charged the day after your Free Trial ends at the rate for your selected Membership plan. We offer a number of Membership plans, including special promotional plans or Memberships with different limitations. We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend our offered Membership plans. In certain situations, your Payment Method issuer may charge you a foreign transaction fee or related charges. These are not part of your Lesson Planet Membership fees. Check with your bank or Payment Method issuer for details.
Automatic Renewal
By signing up for a Lesson Planet Membership, you expressly agree that we are authorized to automatically renew your Membership on your renewal date, by charging your Payment Method the then-current rate for your selected plan.
If you selected a non-monthly Membership (1-Year, 2-Year, etc.), you will receive an email 30 days before your Membership renewal date, reminding you that your Payment Method will be charged unless you cancel your automatic renewal before your renewal date.
If you have a Monthly Membership, we will continue to charge your Payment Method on a monthly basis until you cancel. Your Payment Method will be charged on the calendar day that corresponds to the first day of your paid Membership. If your paid Membership began on a day that is not contained in a given month, your monthly fee will be charged on the last day of that month. For example, if your Membership began on August 31, your Payment Method would next be charged on September 30. You will receive a renewal reminder email 30 days prior to the 12-month anniversary of your paid monthly Membership.
Cancelation
If you have a non-monthly Membership (1-Year, 2-Year, etc.), you may cancel your automatic renewal at any time. If you cancel your automatic renewal, you will not be charged on your scheduled renewal date. However, you will continue to have full access to Lesson Planet until your current Membership expiration date. If you have a Monthly Membership, you may cancel your Membership at any time. You will have full access to Lesson Planet until your current Membership expiration date.
Refunds
For non-monthly Memberships, upon request, we will refund your full Membership fee up to 45 days after your Payment Method has been charged. Refunds will be issued to the purchasing Payment Method. We do not provide partial or prorated refunds. Upon refund of your fee, you will no longer have full access to Lesson Planet. If you have a Monthly Membership, we do not offer any refunds on partial months. To request a refund, e-mail support@LessonPlanet.com or call (888) 909-9035 (M-F 8:00am – 12:00pm, 1:00pm – 4:30pm PT).
