FAQs

There are a lot of pieces and parts in OSH, so we know there’s a lot to learn! If the FAQs below don’t answer your question, feel free to contact us.

Files

  • No. All our products are currently digital downloads. There are instructions included that explain what to print, on what color paper, and whether the items should be laminated.

  • Once you purchase any OSH product, you’ll receive an email with a link to download the files. We recommend downloading the files and keeping them on a computer or shared drive that your teachers can easily access (if you purchased the church product). You may also make as many backup copies as you need to make sure you always have access to the files you purchased. See the next section about sharing files.

  • Contact us! We’ve done our best to make sure we’ve organized and packaged all the right files, but it’s possible that we missed something. (There are a lot of files!)

  • Contact us! We will do our best to get you what you need.

Permissions, Copying, and Sharing

  • The owners of OSH materials applied and paid for legal copyright on all the materials, so it’s against copyright laws to use OSH materials outside of these guidelines.

    OSH products have been created, revised, and improved over decades. That’s a lot of work! Using the materials in the ways we prescribe honors the thousands of hours that many people have put into OSH over the years. It also ensures that the owners of OSH have the ability to keep improving the materials and make sure they’re available for future generations.

  • As many times as you need, using the materials according to the permissions. You can copy the files and save them different places for backup or access purposes, and you can print out the material and make as many copies as you need for the students, parents, and teachers.

  • If you purchased a church or homeschool group product, you can share the material with any of the people in your church or homeschool group, as long as it’s for using in the church or homeschool classes. The permissions don’t extend to the individuals or families within the church for home use. If you want to also use OSH materials at home with your family, please purchase the family products.

    In addition, churches shouldn’t share the OSH materials they purchased with other churches, and families shouldn’t share the OSH materials they purchased with other individuals or families. Please contact us if you have any questions about sharing OSH products.

  • There’s no difference in the content. The only difference is the permissions for copying and sharing. The prices are different because you’re paying for the permission to distribute to many more students.
