       		             by their required deadlines.

       		             All cookies obtained for my Girl Scout's sales will be picked up and paid for no later than March 24, 2019.

       		             My Girl Scout will NOT take cookie orders until January 4, 2019.

       		             I understand that I cannot return cookies or exchange cookies, and I agree to accept
       		             full financial responsibilities for all of the cookies that I order. If I am in need of assistance with
       		             selling the remaining cookies, I will contact the Troop Cookie Manager in a timely manner.​

       		             I understand that should any of my cookies or cookie money get lost, stolen or damaged, I am still fully
       		             responsible for the funds.

       		             I understand that if I do not pay for the full amount of money due for cookies, I will be subject to legal
       		             prosecution and any fees incurred.

       		             I will not collect payment from a customer until cookies are delivered.

       		             I will ask for a copy of the cookie receipt for pickup of any cookies and funds submitted, if not provided
       		             by the Troop Cookie Manager.

2019 Cookie Family Packet - Girl Scouts of Western Ohio
PERMISSION TERMS
 I agree to the following and have signed the Caregiver Cookie Program Agreement (pg 8) that my Troop Cookie Manager will
 keep in their possession.
    • I will ensure that my Girl Scout has adult guidance at all times during the cookie sale.
    • My Girl Scout will not take cookie orders until January 4, 2019.
    • I will not collect payment from a customer until the cookies are delivered.
    • I will ask for a copy of the cookie receipt for pickup of any cookies and funds submitted, if not provided by the
      Troop Cookie Manager.
    • I will submit all funds received for payment of my Girls Scout's cookie sales to the Troop Cookie Manager by their
      required deadlines.
    • All cookies obtained for my Girls Scout's sales will be picked up and paid for no later than March 24, 2019.
    • I understand that I cannot return cookies once they are ordered by my troop, and I agree to accept full financial
      responsibilities for all of the cookies that I order. If I am in need of assistance with selling the remaining cookies,
      I will contact the Troop Cookie Manager in a timely manner.
    • I understand that should any of my cookies or cookie money get lost, stolen or damaged, I am still fully responsible
      for the funds.
    • I understand that if I do not pay for the full amount of money due for cookies, I will be subject to legal prosecution
      and any fees incurred.

MONEY & RECEIPTING PROCESS
 Money is collected when cookies are delivered, except for Digital Cookie orders, which are already paid by credit card
 at the time of the order.
   • Customers should make checks payable to Girl Scouts of Western Ohio or GSWO.
   • Do not write one personal check to the troop for all your orders.
   • Do not keep large amounts of cash laying around. Make frequent visits to your Troop Cookie Manager to give them
      money to take to the bank.
   • Protect yourself! Every time that you pick up cookies from your Troop Cookie Manager and/or give them money,
      be sure to get a receipt. Keep all of your receipts for your records. Do not take cookies from your troop cookie
      manager or give them money without also receiving a receipt in return.
   • Remember: Cookies cannot be returned or exchanged. Caregivers are financially responsible for all cookies ordered.
   • You are responsible for lost or stolen funds.
   • Any in-person cookie donations made should be accounted for and the funds turned in with your other payments.

                                                                                                                              10
