2. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS
2.1 Publication Subscriptions
Humor Times offers a range of publication subscription levels. Each level is for a number of issues (typically multiples of 12, which is the number of issues per year we typically produce) and for either domestic or foreign mailing, or for digital (online) access. Although we strive to produce this number of issues per year, circumstances may reduce that output, but you will still receive the number of issues for your subscription level, pursuant to any potential changes in delivery (see 2.4 “Changes in Delivery”).
We may also offer a Free Trial subscription, typically for three issues (as defined in Section 2.2 “Free Trial” herein, scroll down for more info). Each subscription period for a level will be based on the subscription period chosen (e.g. annually or every two years). You are responsible for subscription fees for the entire subscription period chosen. See below for information on Cancellations and Refunds.
If you choose recurring billing (sometimes referred to as “Auto-Renew”), then when due, your subscription will renew and your payment method will be charged automatically for a subscription period equal to your prior subscription period. You may opt-out at any time by logging into your account and canceling the recurring subscription, or by notifying us of your intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of your current subscription period. You may contact us by email, letter or phone.
To view the specific details of your subscription level, including pricing and expiration date, login to your account or contact us.
2.2 Free Trial
If you sign up for a Free Trial subscription, we require payment method information (credit card or PayPal, etc), but you will not be charged until after the last free issue has been mailed or made available online (for digital subscriptions). You may cancel during the trial run or immediately after the final free issue (before the first regular subscription issue has been mailed or made available online). After that, our regular refund policy kicks in (see 2.5 “Account Cancellation”). Free Trial print subscriptions are only available domestically (USA), due to the high mailing costs for foreign subscriptions. Free Trial digital subscriptions are available worldwide.
2.3 Changes In Fees
We may change the fees for Subscriptions at any time.
Such changes will be effective as of the first billing cycle that occurs more than thirty (30) days after notice of our new fees, provided that if you upgrade or downgrade to a new level, you will be charged at the then-current rate for such level, as shown in the sidebar.
We reserve the right to cancel and refund a subscription if the amount charged by our system was in error.
We reserve the right to deactivate your access to your account for failure to pay applicable fees as described in this Agreement. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are stated in U.S. Dollars.
2.4 Changes In Delivery
We reserve the right to change how we deliver subscriptions, whether by U.S. Mail or some other delivery service, or by making issues available online only (digital subscription). In the unlikely event that print subscriptions are phased out, your subscription could be changed to digital (online) delivery. In such an event, it would be prorated, increasing the number of issues left on your subscription to a number matching the equivalent digital rate.
2.5 Subscription Cancellations & Refunds
You may cancel your Subscription upon 30 days notice by contacting us.
Our publication is published 12 times annually. We will reimburse you the full amount if you cancel before we mail out your third issue (for digital subscriptions, before the third issue is posted online), or in the case of Free Trial subscriptions, if you cancel during the trial run or immediately after it ends (before your regular subscription begins). After we’ve mailed your third issue, and before the fourth is mailed (for digital subscriptions, before the fourth issue is posted online), we will refund 50% of the amount paid if you cancel. We do not offer any refunds after four issues have been mailed out (or posted online for digital subscriptions).
For clarity, if you cancel your Subscription after the fourth issue and prior to the conclusion of your current subscription period, you will remain responsible for payment for all subscription fees through the conclusion of your current subscription period.
If you cancel your Subscription, you may lose access, upon the expiration of your current pre-paid period, to our services and any data or information stored in your account.
Claims for missing or damaged issues must be made within 60 days from the date we mail them out to be honored.
2.6 Refunds & Cancellations: Advertising (online and print)
Our publication is published 12 times annually. We will reimburse you the full amount of a paid print advertisement if you cancel 10 calendar days before we print the first issue containing your ad, or in the case of website or email newsletter ads, 5 calendar days before they are posted. After that, we do not offer any refunds.
If your ad is deemed to be a scam (false advertising, ad fraud, or any other type of deceptive advertising) after we’ve published it (print or internet), we will cease running the ad and will not issue any refunds.
Please contact us regarding any refunds or cancellations.
