Our returns policy

CliffsNotes books (the print version) can be returned for a full refund within 30 days. (Sorry, but downloaded titles are non-refundable and non-returnable.)

Be sure to include your e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number so we'll know who you are, where to contact you with any questions, and where to send your refund. Returns must be made within 30 days, and the book(s) must be in salable (as-new) condition. You don't have to tell us why you're returning your CliffsNotes title, but we always appreciate feedback.

Your refund will come in the same form that payment was made in. That is, if you paid by credit card, we'll credit your account; if you paid by check or money order, the check will be in the mail (really!).
