passionate about education to begin
their careers with us in any of our
locations around the world.
· The Pearson Choices program allows
faculty and students to choose from a
range of texts and media formats that
meet their teaching, learning, and
budget needs.
· The Pearson Student Advisory Board
brings college students together with
the company’s leadership working to
shape our publishing future.
our people
· We were named one of the “2008
World’s Most Ethical Companies” by
Ethisphere
magazine, one of the “Top
100 Companies for Working Mothers”
by Working Mother magazine, and a
media sector global leader in the Dow
Jones Sustainability Index.
· We offer a 100% tuition reimbursement
plan for employees seeking an
advanced degree in any job-related
educational program; we also offer
numerous professional development
opportunities for employees to
develop their skills.
· Volunteers from Pearson companies
across the U.S., Africa, and Latin
America participate in Jumpstart’s Read
for the Record annual campaign to
bring attention to the importance of
early education.
our environment
· We were the first global
publishing company to publicly
disclose our policy with regard
to the environmental characteristics
of the paper we purchase.
· We expect to be a climate-neutral
company by the end of 2009.
Our current reuse/recycle rate
for unsold books is 99%.
· We’re investing in ways to deliver
our content digitally to students
and instructors to reduce costs
and environmental impact

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Phoenix, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
