Frequently asked questions
Do you accept purchase orders?
Yes. We accept school and district purchase orders. Email your PO to [email protected] and we'll get everything set up for you.
Can I get a copy of your W-9 form?
Because Knoword is a Canadian company, we can not issue a US W-9. Instead, we provide a W-8BEN-E form, which is the equivalent for non-US companies and fulfills all vendor setup requirements for US school districts. Contact us to request a copy of our W-8BEN-E.
Do you sign Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs)?
Yes. We sign standard national and state Data Privacy Agreements. Send your district's DPA to [email protected].
