Terms and Policies
Hawkes Learning/Quant Systems, Inc. (HL/QS) is the sole vendor of the HL/QS software. All HL/QS software must be purchased directly through any of these methods:
- order online at hawkeslearning.com/bookstoreorder
- email bookstore@hawkeslearning.com,
- fax 843-884-4006, or
- phone 1-800-426-9538.
HL/QS reserves the right to review all orders at which point we may accept or decline any order for any reason. All orders will be reviewed for pre-approval and acceptance. Cancellations can be made on any order that has NOT shipped.
Payment terms are Net 30 days. Accounts with invoices that do not clear within 120 days will be put on a "prepay only" basis.
HL/QS software is a licensed product. Once the software license number has been registered, it can only be used by the registered owner.
If the shrink wrap or other seal is broken, the package is considered "opened" and the components (textbook, software or other product) inside the package is considered "used." Therefore the package is non-returnable and non-refundable once opened. DO NOT resell "used" software.
Hawkes Learning will not check license numbers to determine if software has been registered or not.
If a student believes there is an issue with access codes or other packaged components, please call Hawkes to speak with a representative before accepting any returns.
All exchanges and returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. An RMA number may be requested within 12 months of the invoice date, and only if the invoice has been paid in full.
General Returns:
- The only time it is necessary to return a product is if you are using either: (i) a software and textbook "bundled" package containing a textbook that is going into a new edition; (ii) a textbook alone (not "bundled" with software) that is going into a new edition.
- It is NOT necessary to return software only. Access Codes never expire and can be used in the following semester/year.
- All items must be returned in "as new" condition in the original packaging. If the shrink wrap or other seal is broken, the package is considered "opened" and the components (textbook, software or other product) inside the package is considered "used." No refund or credit will be given for items returned opened (such as a broken shrink wrap or other broken seal) or missing contents.
- Our return policy states that bookstores may return up to 50% per line item of an order and receive full credit for any new and unopened items. The remaining portion of an order may be returned for 50% credit. For example, on an order of 200 units of a product, if 130 units are returned, 100 will be credited at full credit and 30 units will be credited at half credit. Shipping charges are non-refundable and only unopened items can be returned. Returns must be received within one year of invoice date.
- Inclusive Access physical material orders have a return policy that states that bookstores may return up to 25% per line item of an order and receive full credit for any new and unopened items. The remaining portion of an order may be returned for 50% credit. For example, on an order of 100 units of a product, if 50 units are returned, 25 will be credited at full credit and 25 will be credited at half credit. Shipping charges are non-refundable and only unopened items can be returned. Returns must be received within one year of invoice date.
