    12. Refunds/Reimbursements. If Teacher or Teacher’s personnel receives a cancellation or refund request, Teacher should contact LessonPlan and not provide a refund directly or take any other responsive action, unless LessonPlan provides written instructions to the contrary. LessonPlan may issue refunds to users as required by law or at its discretion.
