Larger .zip files need to be extracted using freely available compression software such as WinRar or Winzip. Likewise, buyers are responsible for ensuring they have the required printing facilities to make use of our products: this is especially pertinent when buying printable workbooks. No refunds are available in these cases.

Fun Philosophy Lessons may, in its sole discretion, make certain exceptions to this policy on a case-by-case basis, for example if a digital file is seriously defective and the defect cannot be repaired. In cases where a digital file is defective: we will always strive to remedy the situation and ensure functioning resources are offered as a replacement in a timely fashion.
