TERMS OF SERVICE
The following describes the Terms of Service of The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative (referred to as TBOTEMC.) The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs, The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs II, The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs III, and so on, refers to the designated Blogspot.com blogs which are associated with The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative.
Please note that The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative was created by Victoria Leon and is not sponsored by Teachers Pay Teachers.
Description of Service:
The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative is made up of teachers who sell their lessons at www.TeachersPayTeachers.com (referred to as Teachers Pay Teachers or TpT.) TBOTEMC is not affiliated with or supported by the owners of TpT. Members of TBOTEMC work together to create and market their educational products.
Please read the Terms of Service at https://thebestofteacherentrepreneursmarketingcooperative.net/terms-of-service/ before you begin the process of becoming a member of The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative.
Membership:
Members of The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative must be sellers at www.TeachersPayTeachers.com. Members may sell their lessons at other sites, but must also be a seller at TpT.
Membership Fees:
People may purchase the one year membership to The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative for $50.00 at https://thebestofteacherentrepreneursmarketingcooperative.net/the-best-of-teacher-entrepreneurs-marketing-cooperative-one-year-membership/. This fee allows access to The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative for one year (for example, August 20, 2014 – August 19, 2015.)
Registration Process:
New TBOTEMC members must submit their information on The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative’s Registration Form at https://thebestofteacherentrepreneursmarketingcooperative.net/the-best-of-teacher-entrepreneurs-marketing-cooperative-registration-form/.
Once the TBOTEMC Registration Form has been submitted, the member will receive the official TBOTEMC Welcome Letter. The day the letter is emailed will set the beginning day of the membership period and the member’s subsequent Renewal Dates.
Members may continue to be a part of TBOTEMC by purchasing another one year membership before or on their renewal date. If the member decides to purchase a new membership before the renewal payment is due, the actual renewal day for that year will begin the new membership period and not the date of the membership presale. For example, suppose the member’s first year’s membership in TBOTEMC was from August 20, 2014 – August 19, 2015. Thus, the member’s renewal payment would be due on August 20, 2015. However, the member may want to take advantage of a sale price on July 15, 2015. The member may purchase the one year membership early on July 15, 2015, but to be fair, the member’s second year membership period will be from August 20, 2015 – August 19, 1016.
All members who are renewing their TBOTEMC membership must pay for a new annual membership at https://thebestofteacherentrepreneursmarketingcooperative.net/the-best-of-teacher-entrepreneurs-marketing-cooperative-one-year-membership/ and resubmit their information on The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative’s Registration Form at https://thebestofteacherentrepreneursmarketingcooperative.net/the-best-of-teacher-entrepreneurs-marketing-cooperative-registration-form/ by their renewal date (the day after their current TBOTEMC membership period is over). A Welcome Back Renewal Letter will be emailed to the continuing TBOTEMC members and will state their new membership periods.
Membership Includes:
