SJ-01 - Group Purchases

Usually, our courses are licensed for individual use; for being used by a single student for their own personal use.

However, we also support groups who wish to take the course together at the same time. To support these groups, we provide group discounts as well as a Public Display License that allows the leader of a group to display our videos in a communal group setting (projected to a large screen for the group to see.) See the details below.

This lecture is an ideal candidate for forming a group within your church or ministry to take the course together. Your group will be enrolled together and go through the course at the same time. Each member of your group will have their own member account and can log in separately join into all class sessions from their own location so that they can spend as much time with our materials as they desire.

Purchasing as a Group

If you are making a group purchase, you can take advantage of discounts based on the size of your group; the larger your group, the greater your discount.

One person, the informal administrative leader of the group, will make a count of all participants and order for the entire group in one order. The administrative leader simply registers as usual but on the shopping cart, specify the number that represents the size of your group in the "Quantity" field of the order. Our Registrar/Bursar system will automatically apply the appropriate discount based on the quantity specified in the order.

Shortly, after the group registration is completed (usually within 24 hours), we will send the administrative leader (the person who purchases for the group) the appropriate number of "Scholarship Codes" (one for each member of the group) for distribution to the group. The Scholarship Codes will be sent via e-mail sent to the administrative leader. The informal administrative leader of the group will then distribute the registration codes to the individual members of the group. The Scholarship Codes will allow each member of the group to self-register without further payment.

Complete instructions for the members of the group will be included in the same e-mail with the registration codes sent to the administrative leader of the group.

Each individual Scholarship Code is unique to one individual only and SHOULD NOT be used to register multiple people using the same Scholarship Code. If so, additional charges may result.

Each member of your group will simply go through the normal registration process. Members will register their own user account, order the course and check out. It only takes a couple of minutes. In the check-out process, rather than using a credit card, they simply provide their unique pre-paid Scholarship Code from the group's administrative leader. This code will discount the cost of the course by 100% to be $0.00, so no additional money will be required from the individual group member. They will then check out normally, receive their confirmation receipt and can immediately enter the course and begin their participation in the course.

Each member of the group gains their own personal access the course's videos and class materials as well as access to the other facets of the Connected Community.

Group Purchase Discounts

If you are making a group purchase, you can take advantage of discounts based on the size of your group; the larger your group, the greater your discount.

Note that a "seat" is one paid license to the course that allows online access and participation for one person. Your group will be enrolled in the same class and go through the course together at the same time. Each member of your group will have their own member account and can log in separately join into all class sessions from their own location including individually viewing all of the included videos.

To use the Group Purchase Discount, simply change the "quantity" field on the order form to the number of seats you desire and our system will automatically compute the appropriate discount when you update the cart.

Public Display License For the Group

Included, at not additional cost to the group, in all group purchases is a Public Display License that provides the group official permission to show our videos in a public setting to the group. Typical usage of a Public Display License might include projecting our videos to a large screen in a group setting when the group meets at the church. Normally (without a group purchase), our videos are licensed only the private personal use by an individual student, and our course license doesn't include public usage. The license is just like all DVD and BlueRay disks from major studios (typically shown in the standard FBI privacy warning.) However, in all group purchases, we will further support the group by granting a Public Display License for the use of the group. The Public Display License will begin the day of the purchase and run for the term of the license period (typically, 120 days; but the term may vary on a course-by-course basis.)
