Frequently Asked Questions

Copyrights

What does "copyright" mean?

Our nation's founding fathers determined that it was in the public interest that the creative works of a person's mind and spirit should belong, for a limited time, to the creator. The protection of these works is called "copyright". The United States Copyright Law grants to any copyright owner the exclusive rights to original material for a term, which is equal to the length of the life of the author/creator plus 70 years. For works written prior to 1978, the term is 95 years from the date the work was first published. The privilege of reproducing the work belongs to the copyright owner.

Copyright is the legal device that provides the creator of a work the right to control how the work is used. (or person / entity to whom the creator has transferred all or part of her rights) A copyright is a type of property. Like other forms of property, a copyright may be sold by its owner, or otherwise exploited for his economic benefit.

How do I know if the material I want to use has been copyrighted? 

Copyright protection exists from the time the work is created in fixed form. The copyright in a work immediately becomes the property of the author who created the work. Most of the time the work will have the registered copyright symbol © printed on it, but every work is protected by copyright regardless of whether the symbol is printed on the work or not. Only the author/creator or those deriving their rights through the author/creator can rightfully claim copyright. If any other party wants to reproduce the material in some manner, permission must be obtained.

Who owns the legal right to make copies?

The original creators (authors and composers) and/or publishers, assigned agents, etc.

Do other countries have copyright laws?

Yes. Most of the world recognizes the need to give incentive and protection to creative persons. Copyrighted material owned by U.S. citizens is protected in many other countries by each country's copyright laws and treaties with the United States.

You may copy a single page from any book unless the copyright page specifies something different. More than a single page will require permission from the publisher. 

How do I inquire about permissions for music published by Lillenas Publishing Company?

Permission requests for the use of Lillenas copyrighted songs are handled by Music Services, located in Brentwood, Tennessee.

You may use their online forms to request permission to reproduce, record or publish Lillenas songs and use Lillenas sound recordings. Your request will be submitted directly to Music Services. (Please check to make sure the song you are requesting is owned by Lillenas. We do not own all the songs in our publications.) For information regarding the use of Lillenas drama, scripts, sketches, etc., please contact us here. 

How can I tell if a song is owned by Lillenas? 

Look at the copyright notice printed on the song, generally at the bottom of the first page. Lillenas copyright catalogs include Lillenas Publishing Company, Pilot Point Music, PsalmSinger Music, Mosie Lister Songs, J.M.Henson Music, Beacon Hill Music, Nazarene Publishing House, Consuming Worship Songs, Consuming Praise Songs, Consuming Fervor Songs, Southern Faith Songs and Highland Music Publishing. If one of these is listed as the copyright owner of a song, then Lillenas owns the song, and you may request permission for use of the song from Music Services.

For permission information for Lillenas’ drama products, please contact us here.  

Accounts 

What is a Foundry Publishing website account? 

To place orders, you will need to create an account on our website. Account creation is a part of the checkout process. Once you have created an account, your billing information will be saved so you won't have to fill this in each time you place an order. 

What if someone in my organization has already set up an account?

Organizational accounts, such as church accounts, may have multiple users who order from our website.

If you are unsure whether someone in your organization has already created an account, you may create an account for your organization, and we will review it. While your account is being reviewed, you may still place orders.

How do I create sub accounts?

For organizational accounts, we give you the option of creating sub accounts for various users within your organization. This allows multiple users to place orders on your account, without having to share a single username and password.

One user within your organization is designated as the Account Administrator. This user can create accounts for other users and can grant ordering access to those users as appropriate. Administrator-level access is granted by default to the first user in your organization to create an account. If you have questions about the administrator on your account, please contact us at Customer Care or by calling 1-800-877-0700 (or 1-816-931-1900, if outside the United States or Canada).

Once your account is set up as an organization, here is how to create sub accounts:

1. Sign in. 
2. Choose "Manage Sub Accounts" from the list of options.
3. Click "Add Sub Account."
4. Fill out the form with your staff member's information.
5. If you are the Account Administrator, another box will appear next to that sub account that says "Place Orders." If you would like to give the new sub account privileges to charge orders to your organization's account, check the "Place Orders" box. If not, leave it empty. Another box will appear that says "Place Standing Orders." If that box is checked, that sub account can create and adjust the standing order on your organization's account. If you do not wish for this sub account to have that level of access to your organization's account, leave it empty. 
6. Finish by clicking "Save."

What is a “Special Order” item?

Special Order items are printed or manufactured when you place your order. Please allow approximately 15 business days before your Special Order item ships.

Please be aware that Special Order items cannot be canceled once the order is placed because production begins immediately. Special Order items are also not eligible for return.

What if I have a Special Order item and an In-Stock item on the same order?

If you are ordering both Special Order and In-Stock items, you will receive more than one shipment. Each shipment will be billed individually, and the postage for each shipment will be included on the corresponding invoice.

We will do our best to use your desired shipping method for each shipment; however, it is possible your packages could arrive via different carriers.

How is sales tax amount determined?

In accordance with applicable law, The Foundry Publishing currently collects sales tax in the following US states: AR, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, NE, NJ, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, VA, WA, WI, and WV.  (Please note that churches in AR, GA, LA, NC, SC, and WA are not considered tax exempt.)  Canada GST (Goods and Services Tax) is added to orders shipped to Canada.

For your convenience, an estimated sales tax amount is displayed when orders are placed. The exact sales tax will be calculated and charged at the time your order is shipped. 

How do I submit my tax exemption information?

If tax has been charged on any portion of your order and you need to take advantage of your tax-exempt status, please submit a copy of your resale certificate, exemption certificate, or other acceptable proof of your exemption status for the state where the items will be shipped.

First, place your order through our website. After you've placed your order, please submit the necessary information to Accounts Receivable at:

Fax: 1-800-849-9827 or 1-816-531-0923

Email: Accounts Receivable

Please include the following:

• Your order number
• Your account number (if known)
• Email address
• Proof of exempt status
• Name of organization
• Name of person submitting the order
• Mark your fax "Attn: Accounts Receivable"

Why is my online ordering still showing tax even if I am tax exempt?

Though your organization is tax exempt, your online order will show tax all the way through the checkout process. This means that when you click pay, there will be a hold for the full amount, tax included, placed on your method of payment, but once your order is officially processed, the tax will be removed and the actual amount of your charge/purchase will decrease. 

What if my account was charged tax but I am tax exempt?

Though your organization is tax exempt*, your account will still be charged tax if:

- we do not have a current tax-exempt certificate on file. When we receive and approve your proof of exemption, we can begin applying tax credits to your order.

- you are establishing a web account for the first time and the new account has not yet been validated. If you have a tax-exempt account established, the web account validation will recalculate sales tax based on your current exemption.

* Please check with your office administrator or treasurer to verify that your organization has a valid tax-exempt certificate issued for the state to which your order is being shipped.  

If I place an order on my personal account and the church makes payment, will the order be tax exempt?

No. Your order must be charged to a tax-exempt organizational account in order to receive exemption. An order placed on a personal account and paid by a tax-exempt organization will not be exempt from tax.

Where do I find the card security code, and why must I enter it?

For your protection, we request the card security code with each credit card transaction. This allows us to verify that the person who is using the card is the cardholder.

For American Express, the number is located on the front of the card.

For Visa, Mastercard, and Discover, the code is located on the back of the card.

What is an Autoship order?

An Autoship order is a recurring order of Sunday school curriculum, sent to you automatically each quarter.

How do Autoship orders work?

When you create an Autoship order, you designate how many of each item you want to receive each quarter. You have the opportunity to change your order each quarter, but if you have no changes, you do nothing, and the items are shipped automatically. No need to worry about placing any last-minute orders with this method!

How do I create an Autoship order?

To create an Autoship order, you need to have an account with The Foundry Publishing, and your account must be kept in good standing. You can create an account from the Login page.

After logging in to your account, from the Account dashboard, tap on My Autoship Order. Fill out the shipping address for your Autoship order, the items you would like to receive each quarter, and the quantity of each. Then tap the Update Order button to save it all. That’s all! Your order for the next quarter will be shipped on the date shown at the top of the My Autoship Order page.

How can I change my Autoship order online?

Log in to your account, and from the Account dashboard, tap My Autoship Order.

To change the shipping address for your order, fill out the new shipping address in the Shipping Information section and tap the Update Order button to save your changes. Your order for the next quarter will be shipped to the new address.

To add an item or to change the quantity of an item on your Autoship order, tap the arrow to the left of the age level of the item. In the Qty field of the item, enter the new quantity for that item. Repeat this for all items you are adding or changing. When finished, tap the Update Order button at the bottom of the page to save your new quantities.

To remove an item from your Autoship order, tap the arrow to the left of the age level of the item. In the Qty field for the item, enter 0. Repeat this for all items you are removing from your order. When finished, select the Update Order button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

Changes to your order will take effect by the date shown at the top of the My Autoship Order page. If you need additional quantities of items for the current quarter, please place an order for those additional quantities as a regular order on the website or by contacting Customer Care (1-800-877-0700 or Orders@TheFoundryPublishing.com). If you need to return items you received too many of, you can do so up to four weeks into the quarter. For additional information on returns, please visit our Returns FAQ page.

When will the changes I enter take effect with my Autoship order?

You may make changes to your Autoship order up to 60 days before the start of the quarter.

Why don't I see my Autoship order online?

When you first create a web account or a new Autoship order, we must connect your order information with your account. Please allow 1-2 business days for this process. If you need to make changes before your Autoship order is available to edit online, contact Customer Care (1-800-877-0700 or Orders@TheFoundryPublishing.com).

I live in Canada. What's the best option for shipping my Autoship order? 

Once a quarter, we send a shipment containing multiple orders to Canada. After the shipment has cleared the Canadian border, the individual orders are sent from Winnipeg to the customer's address via Canada Post. The customer pays only the Canada Post shipping costs from Winnipeg to their address. For more information on this shipping method, visit our Quarterly Canadian Shipment FAQs page. 

Shipping

When will my order ship?

Most orders for available products are shipped within 1-2 business days, Monday-Friday. Special orders and items on backorder are shipped as soon as they are available. 

Please note that expedited and overnight orders receive priority attention. However, that does not always mean they will arrive the next day. Please allow one day for order processing before shipping. Delivery days for expedited and overnight orders are Monday-Friday and exclude holidays.

Canadian and International orders: With customs and extended shipping time, expedited methods of shipment do arrive more quickly than ground shipments but are not guaranteed to arrive overnight.

For orders shipping to Canada with the quarterly Canadian shipment, your order will be sent with next quarter's shipment. Shipment dates are: January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. For more information on the quarterly shipment, tap here.

How much will shipping cost?

The shipping cost for your order is based on the weight of the items you ordered (plus packing material), the shipping method, and the destination zip code. We maintain rate information obtained directly from UPS and the U.S. Postal Service.

If you order an item that is currently out of stock, the postage will be re-calculated to reflect only those items that will be shipped to you at this time.

If a rate is not available for your preferred shipping method or if your order is being shipped to an address outside the United States, the actual shipping costs will be assessed at the time your order has been filled and shipped.
