Monthly Payment Process:

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how the monthly payments work to ensure a smooth subscription experience:

1. Order Complete Email:

   • An “Order Complete” email is sent as confirmation with a £0 payment, acknowledging the subscription.

2. Sync Date – 1st of the Month:

   • On the 1st of the month, payments will be processed.
   • The regular monthly charge will be taken to continue the subscription.

3. Overdue and Suspension Phases for Bounced Payments:

   • For payments that bounce, the subscription enters an “overdue” phase for two days.
   • Users are notified to update their payment details or add funds through their account settings page.
     • When updating card details please delete the incorrect details from your Payment Methods section in your account settings.
   • The system attempts to take payments twice a day for these two days.
   • If the overdue phase fails, the subscription is moved to “suspended” mode for an additional two days.
   • The system continues attempts during the suspended phase to process the payment.

4. Cancellation and Resubscription:

   • If all stages fail, the subscription is cancelled.
   • Users will need to resubscribe to continue their membership.
   • Please note that any applied coupons are forfeited during this process.

Important Tips:

• Ensure that payment details are accurate to avoid any disruptions.

Clarification for Subscription Complete Email:

We understand that sometimes confusion may arise, especially when you’ve ordered before the 1st of the month and received an “Order Complete” email with a £0 payment. Here’s a quick explanation:

1. Order Complete Confirmation:

   • If you subscribed before the 1st of the month, you will receive an “Order Complete” email as a confirmation. This email acknowledges your subscription and the upcoming processing of your regular monthly charge.

2. Sync Date – 1st of the Month:

   • On the 1st of the month, the actual payments will be processed.
   • The regular monthly charge will be taken to continue your subscription.

3. Delivery Timeframe:

   • For digital editions, expect your emailed subscription within 5 days after the start of the month.
   • For physical editions, shipments are dispatched from the UK on the 5th of each month.

4. Subscription Status:

   • Important Note: The “Order Complete” email is a confirmation of your subscription order but does not guarantee the delivery of the month’s subscription if payment is not processed successfully on the 1st.

5. Payment Verification:

   • Ensure that your payment details are accurate and funds are available in your account on the 1st of each month to avoid any delays or disruptions.

• If payment is not successfully processed on the 1st of the month, you will not receive the subscription for that month.
