• You either get online or call any of their toll free numbers to register yourself for a FREE CD from Video professor.
• You have to select a lesson that you want (each lesson is on 3 CDs), give them some personal details such as your name, address etc and tell them how you want your free CDs to be shipped to you.
• You do not need to pay any money other than the shipping charges that are based on your shipping preferences.
• You get to keep the CDs for a 10 day free trial period after which you can either return it to Video professor, or keep it if you like it.
• If you decide to keep the CDs, then Video professor will charge your credit card (the details of which you have supplied previously) for the set.
• If you decide you do not want to keep the set, you can call Video professor and cancel your order (this has to be done within 10 days). In such a case, any 2 out of the 3 CDs will still be yours to keep for FREE.
• If you return the entire collection within 10 days you can even get a refund on your shipping charges.
