They are new products with manufacturer’s warranties but we do not offer additional or extended warranties on their manufactured products sold. As such, Educator’s Depot, Inc., its licensors, officers, employees, agents, members, affiliates, owners, and contractors disclaim any and all warranties, express or implied, disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

Members’ Account

Intellectual Property and Privacy(see our official Privacy Policy/Statement below-without a sense of humor!!)
Any data or content that you add to our “SITE” belongs to you and will NOT be shared unless mandated or required by due process of law. WE WILL NEVER SHARE YOUR INFORMATION UNLESS IT IS WITH A FINANCIAL/SECURITY INSTITUTION TO PROCESS YOUR REQUESTS. We are paranoid about privacy so this is a pretty simple concept to understand. You own all of the information you post on the “SITE”, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy settings. We own all of the content and information that we post to the site, including without limitation all trademarks and copyrights for materials and text we post to the Site.
