Digital Goods Disclosure and Licensing Policy

Overview of the California Digital Goods Disclosure Law

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

Latest Update: February 9, 2026

To ensure compliance with California's law, AB-2426 Consumer Protection: False Advertising: Digital Goods, we are committed to providing transparent and clear information regarding the purchase and licensing of digital goods. This policy applies to all digital course materials offered by eCampus.com and its associated brands.

This policy is intended to clearly disclose that digital goods are licensed, not sold, and to explain the scope, duration, and limitations of those licenses.

Licensing Information

When you purchase a digital product, you are acquiring a license for a specified period. Details about the duration and terms of each license are provided in the product description.

You do not obtain ownership of the digital content itself; you receive a limited, non-exclusive right to access and use the content as disclosed at the time of purchase.

Products labeled as “Lifetime” generally mean five (5) years of online access through eCampus.com.

All digital product licenses are non-transferable and may not be sold, assigned, shared, or gifted to another individual unless expressly stated otherwise in the product description.

Once purchased or redeemed, a digital license is linked to the purchaser’s eCampus.com account and cannot be reassigned.

How Digital Licenses Work
When a digital product is purchased or an access code is redeemed, the associated license (including access duration and permissions) is attached to the purchaser’s eCampus.com account and governs how the digital product may be accessed and used.

License Duration:

  • The duration of access is clearly outlined in the product description. Products labeled as "Lifetime" generally mean five (5) years of online access, along with the ability to download the product to a compatible device.
  • Non-Transferable Licenses: Licenses cannot be transferred or assigned to another person. The purchase grants you access rights, but ownership of the content remains with the original publisher or creator.

Downloads and Device Compatibility

You can download digital products to supported devices, which include the two most recent operating system versions.

"Lifetime" licenses typically include the ability to download the digital product to a supported device for continued access, subject to compatibility requirements.

Downloaded digital products will function only while the device, operating system, and platform remain compatible and supported.

eCampus.com is not responsible if future operating system updates, device changes, or technological advancements result in incompatibility with previously downloaded content.

Customers are responsible for maintaining a compatible device, operating system, and software environment in order to continue accessing downloaded digital products.

Certain features (such as printing, copying, offline access, or content availability) may be restricted by digital rights management (DRM) controls or publisher licensing terms and may vary by product.

Important Note:

  • Downloads will function as long as eCampus.com continues to support the device or operating system. If future updates or technological changes render a device or system incompatible, previously downloaded products may no longer work as intended.

Access Codes and Third-Party Products

Some products, such as access codes or bundles that include eBooks and codes, are provided through third-party vendors. Additional details about these products can be found on the provider's website.

License duration, access rights, functionality, feature availability, and technical support for third-party products are governed by the third party’s terms, not eCampus.com’s terms.

eCampus.com facilitates the purchase of these products but does not control the third-party licensing terms, ongoing availability, or feature restrictions.

Key Points:

  • Third-Party Management: Licensing terms, duration, and technical specifications for these products are managed by the third-party provider.
  • Ongoing Support: While eCampus.com facilitates purchases, future access and support are the responsibility of the provider.

Returns

Due to the nature of digital goods, some items cannot be returned once revealed.

Any applicable return and refund eligibility, usage thresholds, time limits, or publisher-specific restrictions will be disclosed at the time of purchase or governed by the applicable refund policy .
