These terms apply when you use greenexplorersclub.com or buy anything from Green Explorers Club ("GEC," "we," "us"). By using the site or placing an order, you agree to them.

Green Explorers Club is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (EIN 99-4995246).

2. Orders, pricing and payment

  • Prices are in U.S. dollars. Shipping and any applicable sales tax are shown at checkout.
  • Your order is accepted when we confirm it by email. We may cancel any order, for example after a pricing error or if an item is unavailable. If we do, you will not be charged, or we will refund you in full.
  • We try to describe products accurately. Colors, materials and book editions may vary slightly from photos.
  • Promotions and discount codes cannot be combined unless stated, and have no cash value.

3. Subscriptions, shipping and returns

  • Subscriptions: Plans are billed monthly for the length of the plan, do not renew automatically, and can be canceled at any time. See our Subscription Policy for details.
  • Shipping: We ship within the United States only. Delivery dates are estimates. If we cannot ship by the date or window we gave you, we will tell you and offer you the option to cancel for a full refund.
  • Returns: Unopened, unused items can be returned within 60 days of purchase for a refund of the item price. Contact us first for instructions. You pay return shipping. See our Refund Policy.

4. Our content and trademark

All lesson plans, printables, downloads, photos, text and logos on this site belong to Green Explorers Club or our licensors.

When you buy a lesson plan or download, you get a personal, non-transferable license to use it:

  • Teachers: in your own classroom or program. Each additional teacher needs their own purchase, unless you bought a school or site license.
  • Families: in your own household.

You may not resell, share, post online, or upload our materials to file-sharing or teacher-marketplace sites. Digital downloads are non-refundable once accessed.

Trademarks. The Green Explorers Club™ name and the Green Explorers Club logo mark, including its symbol, artwork, lettering and colors, alone or together, along with our program names, product names, characters, slogans and packaging designs are trademarks of Green Explorers Club. You may not use them, or anything confusingly similar, without our written permission. This includes using them on products, websites, social media accounts, events, or in any way that suggests Green Explorers Club sponsors or endorses you. Schools and partners may use our name and logo only to promote Green Explorers Club programs, as approved in writing. Other trademarks on this site belong to their owners.

5. Workshops and school programs

  • Family workshops: A parent or guardian must stay on-site and is responsible for their children during the workshop. We may ask you to sign a participation waiver.
  • Your cancellations: Cancel at least 7 days before a workshop for a full refund. After that, we can offer a credit toward a future workshop, but not a refund.
  • Our cancellations: If we cancel or reschedule a workshop (for example, for weather or low enrollment), you can choose a full refund or a spot in another session.
  • Photos: We only photograph or post children with a parent's or guardian's written permission.
  • School and district programs: After-school programs, book clubs, garden workshops and other school services are governed by the written agreement or purchase order for that program. If it conflicts with these terms, that agreement controls.

6. Product safety

  • Choking hazard: Our kits contain small parts and are not for children under 3.
  • Adult supervision: All activities are meant to be done with adult supervision. Read the instructions before starting. Some activities use scissors, glue, soil, plants or kitchen equipment.
  • Food and allergens: Some activities use food items that may contain or be processed with common allergens, such as wheat, milk, soy or nuts. Check labels before use. Do not eat any materials unless the instructions say they are safe to eat.
  • Plants and soil: Wash hands after handling soil, seeds and plants.

7. Purchases and donations

Revenue from sales supports Green Explorers Club's educational programs. However, purchases of products, subscriptions, workshops and services are not charitable donations and are not tax-deductible, because you receive goods or services in return.

Donations made through our FundraiseUp page are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. If a donation includes goods or services in return, your receipt will state their estimated value and the deductible amount. Donations are non-refundable.
