• Before Zane launched this online video service, our school and homeschool customers paid approximately $14.99 for each of our 250 CD-ROM titles which meant a total cost of $3,750 for the entire library. Our new online video subscription service now enables our customers to use exactly the same K12 material online on those 250 CD-ROM titles but now in video format, for as little as $17.99 per month or $197.89 per year (yes, you even get one month free with our annual service). This means a discount and saving of over 93%.

• The TOPIC TASTER MEMBERSHIP is designed to enable customers to study one Topic at a time for a period of 30 days, however it is likely to be of most use to teachers that want to use our videos in the classroom in situations where the school has not yet purchased a School Subscription License. TOPIC TASTER Membership costs barely anything, $5 a month, even a student could afford this themselves on an allowance or from their paper round, and that's exactly the point, this option is made available primarily as a service to help students with homework on a specific topic and to give teachers or parents the ability to test out our services, take a taster of our videos for review, before commiting to a Full Membership.

• Zane retains the right to vary membership prices as an when required without providing notification to customers.
