    It says that I already have an account and need to log in, but when I try to log in it says that I don't have an account and need to register. What does this mean?

    Promotional Emails

    How do I unsubscribe myself from promotional emails?

    All email communication has an unsubscribe button at the bottom. Click on the unsubscribe button and follow the prompts if you wish to stop receiving promotional emails.

    I have already unsubscribed so why do I keep receiving emails?

    It may take up to 24 hours for your unsubscribe query to be completed. This is due to our scheduled email system, and until it has refreshed, you are still subscribed to our emailing list.

    How do we change current account to the new employer, as the current account holder no longer works at the school / no longer manages school purchases?

    The current account holder is required to change personal account details to the new employers details. To do this they simply need to Sign In (button in the top right-hand corner of the main page). They will be prompted to the 'My Account' page. Under the 'Personal Information' category, and update any required fields.

    Alternatively, the current account holder can download all paid PDFs for the school's future use, and close their account by removing all personal account details in 'My Account' or by contacting Customer Service; and the new employee will need to create a new membership account and ensure that they are subscribed and have the correct school details. Please note: new accounts do not transfer PDFs from old accounts.
