Refund policy

Personal Best Spelling software on CD ROM

Our software is tested to ensure that your copy on CD ROM is functioning properly before it is mailed to you. For this reason, there are few reported problems with the software.

However, if the software on the CD ROM appears to be faulty when you receive it, contact us immediately by email with a description of the problem and we will try to resolve the issue. Most problems spring from an unsuitable choice of screen driver and are usually quickly resolved.

If we decide that a solution is not possible, we will ask you to return the faulty CD ROM to us in good order and on receipt we will immediately issue a replacement. The purchaser is responsible for all freight and packaging costs involved in returning the software.

Please note that once the program is installed and then registered, no refund can be given. To avoid disappointment, before you purchase the software you should discover how it works and what it does. There are two ways of getting this information:

1. Go to this link where you will find a detailed description of each step of the program, along with an explanation of how it works: http://www.spellingzone.com/preview.html

2. If you still want more information, download and install the free trial version, and test drive it to see if it meets all your needs.

Remember, refunds are only possible before you have registered the software. So, we strongly recommend that you test our software before purchasing, to avoid disappointment. Once we have sent you your registration number, no refund can be given.

Training courses on CD ROM

All our CD ROM courses are tested to ensure that your copy is functioning properly before it is mailed to you. For this reason, there are few reported problems with our CDs.

However, if the CD ROM appears to be faulty when you receive it, contact us immediately by email with a description of the problem, and we will try to resolve the issue.

If we decide that a solution is not possible, we will ask you to return the faulty CD ROM to us in good order and on receipt we will immediately issue a replacement. The purchaser is responsible for all freight and packaging costs involved in returning the software.

No refund can be given on the purchase of CD ROM courses, as their informative and total value has been transferred to you, the purchaser, and cannot be reversed.

To avoid disappointment, before you purchase carefully study all the information on our site that describes the Old Way New Way^® learning method, its applications, and the course(s) you intend to purchase.

 

Preview, trial and purchase it

Before you buy, please check out the many spelling program features. You can preview the program, download and try the demo adult or children's version for free, and then purchase it using our secure order form.

Spelling problem?

(In-depth explanation)

A brief explanation:

Spelling teachers and students try to get it right the first time but invariably end up spending a lot of time trying to correct bad spelling habits that somehow develop.

Because these errors were not corrected early, and were repeated over and over (i.e., practiced), many spelling errors quickly develop into bad habits and are then much harder to eradicate. For example, some people always write "recieve" instead of "receive".

We all know that old habits die hard and many spelling errors therefore defy correction by conventional methods.

The usual advice to practice the correct spelling over and over is not very effective. The next day learners seem to have forgotten what they've learned and the same old spelling errors resurface. It seems we just keep falling back to old ways and, consequently, transfer of learning (memory for correct spelling) is poor.

Fortunately, a cognitive science discovery called Old Way New Way^® Learning, endorsed and gazetted by the South Australian Department of Education and built into Personal Best Spelling, offers all learners of all ages:

1. A new perspective on the transfer of learning problem in the learning of spelling

2. A fast and practical way to learn to spell new and unfamiliar words

3. A user-friendly method for quickly and permanently eradicating bad spelling habits.
