60-Day Exam Copies
Should you decide to use a Corwin risk-free, examination title for your course, please call Corwin Customer Care at 1-800-233-9936 (or email adopt@corwinpress.com) within 60 days and provide us with: the invoice number of your order, the name of the faculty member teaching the course, the name of the institution, course name, enrollment, and name of bookstore through which the adoption order is placed. After notification of adoption to Corwin, we will update your customer record to reflect that the 60-day examination title has been adopted; the text is then yours to keep and use in teaching your course as a complimentary desk copy. If for some reason you decide not to adopt the text, please choose one of the following options: return the book to Corwin in saleable condition (postage is the responsibility of the customer) along with a copy of your original order confirmation notice; or pay the amount indicated on the order confirmation notice that you received along with the book. If after the 60-day examination period you have not contacted Corwin and notified us of your adoption, or returned or paid for the book, Corwin will send you a reminder invoice statement that your account has an outstanding balance.
