After receiving the product or service requested, you may "opt-out" of receiving these direct mail offers by sending an e-mail stating your request to opt-out along with your complete name, mailing address, and the name of the Homeschooling Today magazine, product, or service you receive to

Your e-mail address will be obtained during the online ordering process for the purpose of corresponding with you about your purchase and to occasionally notify you of additional online shopping opportunities. You may opt-out of receiving any subsequent shopping opportunities by following the unsubscribe information found in each e-mail announcement. Again, we will not rent, sell, or exchange your e-mail address with a third party for any purpose.
