  • Third-Party Subscriptions - Subscriptions purchased through a third party (such as the Apple App Store) are solely managed through that third party. These subscriptions are subject to the billing, cancellation, and refund terms of the third party. We are not able to initiate, amend, cancel, or refund any third-party subscription on the customer's behalf.

5.3 Payment Methods

We accept all major credit cards and any other payment method made available on our subscription page. Available payment methods may vary by location.

5.4 Price Changes

We reserve the right to alter our subscription prices at any time. If you have an active subscription on the effective date of the price change, you will not be charged any additional fees for your current subscription term. You will be charged the price then in effect for any subsequent purchases. We will give you notice of the current prices before you make your purchase on our checkout page and, if you have an automatically renewing subscription, in advance of your renewal date.

5.5 Unpaid Fees

If we are unable to process your payment or payment is otherwise not tendered in a timely manner, we reserve the right to suspend, cancel, or otherwise restrict your subscription at our discretion. If you need to update your payment method, please contact our team.

6. PROMOTIONS AND TRIALS

From time to time, we may offer free trial subscriptions. If you activate a trial subscription, you will be able to access the applicable products free of charge during your trial period. Once your trial period has ended, you will be charged the price advertised to you in your trial offer. You may cancel your trial at any time during the trial period free of charge. Any cancellations made during the trial period will terminate your access to your subscription with immediate effect.

7. CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

7.1 Cancellation by You

You may cancel your subscription at any time by visiting your Account page or by contacting our customer service team. To cancel a gift subscription, please contact our customer service. In order to avoid charges for a subsequent subscription term, all cancellations must be made before the end of the current term.

If you purchased your subscription via a third party (e.g., the Apple App Store), you must cancel through that third party. We do not have the ability to cancel a third-party subscription on a customer's behalf.

7.2 Refunds

EXCEPT WHERE OTHERWISE NOTED OR REQUIRED BY LAW, ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Cancellation does not entitle you to any refund or credit for the time remaining in your subscription term, except where required by law. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. Issuance of a refund or credit in one instance creates no obligation to issue a refund or credit in another circumstance.

7.3 Effect of Cancellation

If you elect to cancel your subscription, you will retain access to your subscription through the end of your then-current term. Cancellation has no retroactive monetary effect and will only cancel any scheduled future payments you may have (including any automatically renewing payments).

7.4 Cancellation by Us

We reserve the right to suspend, cancel, or otherwise restrict access to your subscription at any time due to (i) payment failure or (ii) if you violate this EULA or our Terms of Service. At our sole discretion, we may issue a refund or credit for the remainder of your subscription term.

A year ago in America I tried to tie together some impressions about modern youth under the label of the "New Breed." I must confess I was overwhelmed by the reaction. All sorts of people announced--some of them validly--that they were members of this New Breed and happily proclaimed that at long last there was someone who understood them. (Alas, it is not true; I do not understand them.) On the other hand, many of those who had identified in the New Breed a dangerous enemy blamed me for the New Breed phenomenon-on the same principle, I suppose, that ancient kings invoked in executing messengers who brought bad news: he who announces bad news is the one responsible for its coming to be.
