B) Terms and conditions for subscription
The general terms and conditions for the use of the site A Box Of Stories and any purchases from this site shall apply also to subscriptions. The below terms and conditions reflect additional terms, specific to subscription.
Glossary of terms used for subscriptions:
Frequency of subscription: Refers to the recurrence of your subscription and is currently monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly.
Order day: Refers to the day of placing your subscription order.
Payment day: Refers to the day payment is taken from your bank account for the subscription. The first payment day is the order day. Subsequent payments will be taken from your account on the same day in subsequent months at the frequency determined upon subscription. For example, if you sign up for a bimonthly subscription on the 10th of January, a first payment will be taken on the 10th of January for your first box, followed by a second payment on the 10th of March for the second box, and so on.
Delivery day: Refers to the day your box is delivered to you and happens within 10 days of your payment day, provided payment is successfully completed at that time. If there are issues obtaining your payment, your box may be delayed as a result.
1. Term of subscription
You have the option to subscribe to receive A Box Of Stories on a monthly (12 boxes per year), bimonthly (6 boxes per year), or quarterly basis (4 boxes per year). The subscription is deemed on-going at the specified frequency until cancelled by you or us, see cancellation clause 4. By purchasing a recurring subscription, you acknowledge that your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. Your subscription will be automatically extended for successive regular periods, at the original subscription frequency and cost.
2. Delivery of subscription box
Boxes are dispatched upon receipt of your recurring subscription payment and will be delivered within 21 working days of that date.
3. Subscription payment
When you select to subscribe to A Box Of Stories, payments will be taken from the bank account you specified when making the initial purchase, unless you notify us of a change in account details. The recurring payment will be taken from this account at the frequency of your subscription on the corresponding Payment date.
If we fail to obtain payment confirmation, we will attempt to contact you to correct any faulty payment details so that you may continue to receive your subscription items. If, however, we are unable to obtain payment from you, we reserve the right to cancel your subscription after fourteen days of missed payment.
4. Cancelling your subscription
You may cancel your subscription at any time for any reason. If you would like to cancel your subscription with us, please send us an email at support@aboxofstories.us. Cancel before 5 working days before your recurring payment date to avoid being charged for that box and receiving it. Cancellations after this point in time means you will still be charged for that recurring box and receive it as usual but will not be charged for or receive further recurring boxes after that point.
5. Refunds
General refund terms are covered in the separate refunds policy clause of the general terms and conditions; the following terms refer to refunds specific to subscription. You may cancel your first order and receive a refund at any time before your order is delivered and up to fourteen days afterwards, beginning on the day after you receive the box. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the box, excluding postage and packaging, in accordance with the refund policy of A Box Of Stories. This does not apply to items that cannot be returned because they have been spoiled / are not fit for resale. Order cancellations made under the Regulations must be made in writing - quoting your name, address and order number - within 14 days of delivery of your item(s) by email to support@aboxofstories.us.
Each box subscription is for these purposes a single order forming part of a regular delivery of goods, so you can only cancel a box subscription and receive a refund within fourteen days of receiving your first recurring box. You can of course cancel your subscription at any time as per the cancellation terms described in clause 4, but it is only if you do it within this initial fourteen day period after your initial subscription that you will be entitled to a refund (as required by UK legislation known as the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013).
Subscriptions made during special offers or using discount codes
If you bought your box as part of a special offer or deal, your purchase may be subject to different terms. If you are unsure about the terms of the purchase you should refer to the messaging of the offer, or message us before purchasing.
Refunds and cancellations of subscriptions made using special offers or discount codes are processed at the discretion of A Box of Stories. If you want to inquire about cancelling a special offer subscription please send us an email at support@aboxofstories.us.
For promotions involving the customer receiving a free box, in the event of a cancellation not within the terms of the promotion (i.e. cancellation before the minimum number of orders charged) the customer is required to pay full listing price of all the boxes they have signed up for and have already received, including any free box.
