You can email us at contact@inspirationalgospel.org and let us know that what You would like to order and we can assist you the ordering process, but this would be at your own expense for the full cost of the item(s) you request and the shipping cost.
Shipping Issues: If You ordered an item(s) and you received the email message confirming the shipment as “Delivered,” we have no way to verify the claim that it wasn’t received. Because of this, we’re unable to cover reshipping or refunding the order. We can only suggest you take the steps below to see if you can locate the package:
– Check around Your property – Sometimes packages are left in unexpected places like porches, back doors, or behind furniture.
– Ask others at the delivery address – A neighbor, housemate, or front desk may have accepted the package.
– Contact the last-mile carrier directly – The carrier may be able to provide more detailed delivery information (e.g., “left under the bench near the garage”).
While we can’t guarantee a resolution with the above suggestions, these steps are your best chance at potentially recovering the shipment
Wrong Address Provided: If You made a mistake with Your shipping address, you might still be able to fix it—if the order hasn’t been shipped yet.
- Can I fix the shipping address? Yes, if the order is still being fulfilled, You can email us at contact@inspirationalgospel.org to request for your shipping address to be revised. Once an order is marked as Shipped, the address can no longer be changed.
- What happens if it’s too late to change the address? If the package is already out for delivery, we can’t guarantee any changes. That said, sometimes the local postal service can still deliver it if the mistake is small, like a missing apartment number, so You can try reaching out to Your local carrier once the parcel has reached the final-mile carrier.
If they can’t deliver the order, it’ll be returned to the manufacturer. Once the order is returned, we’ll notify You via email, and You will have 30 days to confirm the updated address for reshipping. Note: If the original address was incorrect, You will need to cover the shipping cost to resend the package.

- Tax deductibility: Interracial Gospel, Inc. is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, EIN #92-3788557. Your donation may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You should consult with a tax professional regarding your specific situation.

- DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
- Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms and Conditions (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
- Binding Arbitration. If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the “http://www.adr.org” American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in the State of Ohio. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Franklin, Ohio, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms and Conditions.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Ministry be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. - Restrictions. The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons
- Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
