How does the Children First donation work?
For every purchase until 31 December 2026, we donate half of the net proceeds (the price after VAT and payment fees) on your behalf to Children First: Nepal Flood Relief, the campaign run by our founder Kumar Ashish for flood-affected children in Nepal.
When can I buy the products?
We are finalising the first kits now. Click “Notify me” on any product and we’ll email you the day it launches. The free templates are available right now.
How does the 25% student discount work?
Just enter STUDENT25 at checkout and 25% comes off instantly. No student ID, university email or sign-up needed. It works on all templates, kits, bundles and 1:1 sessions (not on the book).
Why is the book excluded from the discount?
Books, including e-books, are subject to fixed book prices in Germany (Buchpreisbindung), so they cannot be discounted.
What format are the files?
Editable Word, Excel/Google Sheets and Canva templates plus PDF guides. They work on Windows, Mac and Google Drive.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. Our templates and guides explain the process and save you time, but they are general information, not individual legal or tax advice.
Prices are in euros and include VAT where applicable. Student prices shown apply with code STUDENT25.
