I have purchased an instantly downloadable product. How do I download it?

You should receive the address to download your purchased file(s) immediately and automatically after you have paid for it.  The address will be on your receipt page.  ( NOTE: If you pay using Paypal, the download link can be found halfway down on your Confirmation Page.  It is a lttle hard to find).  Either copy and paste it into the address bar on your browser, or simply click on it.  Almost all products from KidSparkz are in Adobe PDF format, and you will need the LATEST VERSION of the free Adobe Reader on your computer to open your file (s).


Where can I find the free Adobe Reader?

Go to this link and follow the instructions:  http://get.adobe.com/reader/


Will KidSparkz files work on a MAC computer?

Most of the downloads on KidSparkz are in Adobe PDF format, and can be viewed and used on both PCs and MACs.   There are a couple of files in MSWord format, which can only be viewed on PCs, and they are clearly marked as such.


I have purchased an instantly downloadable product, and I can't find where or how to download it.

The download addresses are set up so that you should receive them instantly and automatically, immediately after payment.  (NOTE: If you pay using Paypal, the download link can be found halfway down on the Confirmation Page.  Once in a while a glitch occurs.  If you do not receive the download address/link, email me as soon as possible, using the form on the About Us page.  Include your order number, and I will send your link(s) to you manually, by return email.  If you do not receive a reply from me within 24 hours, then I have not received your email, and you will need to resend your request.


The file I just purchased won't download, or won't open.

If you can't download or open your file, it is usually because of one of two reasons.
1) You need the LATEST VERSION of the free Adobe Reader in order to open and view the files.  Download it here http://get.adobe.com/reader/
2) Empty your internet cache, and restart your computer.  The files are large and require a lot of temporary RAM when downloading.


When I try to open my file, I get a message that says "The file is damaged and cannot be repaired"

 If you get the message that the files are damaged, it is usually because of one of two reasons.
1) You need the latest version of the free Adobe Reader in order to open and view the files.  Download it here
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
2) Empty your internet cache, and restart your computer.  The files are large and require a lot of temporary RAM when downloading.

If these fixes don't work, email me using the form on the About Us page.


When my file opens, it looks like gibberish, or like Greek writing. Why?

You don't have the program to access the file downloaded on your computer yet.  You need the latest version of the free Adobe Reader in order to open and view the files.  Download it here http://get.adobe.com/reader/


I can't get my file. It says I need a user name and password.

If you get this message, you have missed your download link.  It was on your Confirmation Page.  You will need to email me with your order number to have the link resent to you.  Use the email form on the About Us page. 


I need to contact you. What is your email address?

Please write to me using the form on the About Us page.  After you have purchased a downloadable product, my personal email address can be found on the same page as your product address.  If you purchase a CD, my email address is on your receipt.


I have purchased a CD. How long will it take to reach me?

I mail CDs within 1 to 2 business days of purchase.  I use United States Post Office First Class Mail for orders in the US (takes about 2 to 4 days to be delivered), and First Class International for international orders (takes an average of 4 to 7 days).  If you have not received your mailed order within 10 days, please email me using the form on the About Us page.  Include your order number.



I would like to post some KidSparkz FREE activity files on my website, blog, Yahoo group, daycare board etc. Can I do that?

In a few words - yes, but with a restriction.  If you want to share one or two of the free files, go ahead, as long as you write that they are from www.kidsparkz.com  If you want to post more than that, please email me using the form on the About Us page, and explain what you would like to do.  Although the pages are free for teachers and parents to use, they are still under copyright protection.

 


I would like to post a KidSparkz file that I have PURCHASED from you on the web for other people to share. Can I do that?

In a word, no.  That is not allowed, under the Copyright rules.  Sorry.


I would like to share a file that I have purchased from you with my co-teacher, or my colleagues, or my parents' group etc. Can I do that?

It is fine to share a product file with your co-teacher working with the same group of children.  Beyond that, probably not.  If you are not sure, please email me to ask.  I have made exceptions in the past for teachers/parents that have taken the time to write and ask permission.



How do I search/find something on this site?

There are several ways.  The quickest way is to enter your search words in the Google Search Site box on almost every page.  Also, you can click on the links in the Topic Grids on the Home Page.  There is a Site Map at the bottom of every page.  If all else fails, email me and I will direct you.


Why are some of the themes in the Theme Grid not highlighted?

If the theme name is not clickable, then I haven't created any material for that theme yet.  Coming soon!


I want to find out if you have any material available for a certain theme, topic, or curriculum area.

Please email me using the form on the About Us page, and I will direct you.



What is your return policy?

My return policy is very simple.  If you have a problem of any kind concerning this site, or the products purchased form this site, then I will do everything in my power to make it right for you.  Email me, and we will work it out.
