Discount Coupon Policy
We regularly offer discount coupons for our products. These coupons are published in our newsletters and via various social media channels. Here is our policy in regards to accepting discount coupons:
- Discount coupons are only valid for new purchases and the coupon code must be entered into the Gift Certificate box at the time of purchase in order to obtain the discount.
- Each discount coupon has a clearly published start date and expiration date:
- The discount cannot be applied to purchases that happened before the coupon start date.
- The discount cannot be applied to purchases that happened on/after the coupon expiration date. - Customers who purchase a product for which a discount coupon is active on the day of the purchased have 3 days to write to support and ask to receive the discount. The discount cannot be granted if the customer writes to us later than 3 days after the purchase.
Technical Requirements
- Internet connection (high-speed recommended)
- iTunes to download your webinars (free from Apple...).
- Webinars can be played on your computer screen / speakers but we recommend a portable media player of the latest generation for absolute freedom of how, where and when you want to earn your PDUs.
Please note that you cannot download the webinars manually. You must use the recommended software. Alternative software is available but we only provide support for iTunes.
Account Security, Account Monitoring & Google Reader
To ensure that your purchase of The PDU Podcast is secure, we monitor account activity. Our system de-activates accounts where excessive downloads are occurring because this might be a sign that your purchase has been compromised and others are downloading your purchase without your knowledge.
There is in particular one action that you as a customer must take to protect your purchase: Please do not use Google Reader to access your purchase. Google Reader has recently made a system change: Any item that you add to Google Reader is also indexed by the Google search engine, which basically means: If you watch your copy of The PDU Podcast in Google Reader then anyone on the internet can find your personal subscription in Google and watch it for free. If this happens then our system will detect it, your account will be temporarily suspended and we will send you an email with more information about the situation. Instead of using Google Reader please access The PDU Podcast via our Customer Gateway where you can watch the lessons in your browser.
Presentation Video Format
- All our Webinars are MP4 videos (H.264 codec). You will receive both a 600x480 pixel high-resolution and a 320x240 pixel low-resolution version of each. The high-resolution is intended for viewing on your computer screen and the low-resolution for your portable player. Videos are optimized for Apple iPod / iPhone but can be played on most players of latest generation.
