The following terms and conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") govern your membership in the MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM service and your use of this Web site and content available from or through this Web site. We may change the Terms and Conditions from time to time, at any time without notice to you, by posting such changes on the Web site. BY USING THE WEB SITE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS APPLIED TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM AND USE OF THE WEB SITE. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, you may not access or otherwise use the Web site.
MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM Membership is available for United States billing and shipping addresses only. In signing up for the MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM magazine membership service, you agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Continuing Membership. We will continue to send magazines to you without interruption unless you cancel your membership or tell us to stop. You authorize MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM to charge your credit/debit card when you sign up at the price indicated in your sign-up process and then monthly at the price in effect for your selections. If you change the number of magazines or add premium magazine titles, you authorize us to charge your credit/debit card the new amounts indicated. You can cancel at any time by contacting MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM Customer Care at 1-866-924-4503, or as indicated in account management area of the website. You may cancel your membership at any time. If you cancel you will not be billed again; however you will continue to receive service equal to total payments made.
2. Price changes. If you change your number of magazines you subscribe to on MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM, the amount of the monthly MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM charge to your credit/debit card will change to the amount for the new number of magazine titles. The price for your selected magazine titles may change if you change your individual magazine selections by adding or subtracting premium priced magazine titles. You agree that MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM will charge your credit/debit card the new reflected prices that are displayed with your changes.
You understand that MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM may also change the prices of magazine titles, the designation of which magazines shall carry premium pricing or the amount of premium pricing for any individual magazine titles. Should MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM make any of these price changes that affect your membership, MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM will notify you in advance, via the email address you have provided, your new monthly price. You will not be charged the new monthly price until you have had an opportunity to cancel your MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM membership. If you do not cancel your membership by the deadline stated in your advance notification, your membership will continue at the new price.
If you register for MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM, you will not be charged a membership fee. Membership on MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM is free, but entitles you to special member pricing.
3. Billing. MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM will make best reasonable efforts to accommodate mid-month account changes. The amount of your monthly charge for your current and future months will be displayed on your MY MEMBERSHIP screen.
4. Cancellation. You may cancel your membership at any time. If you cancel you will not be billed again, however you will continue to receive service equal to total payments made.
5. Problem With Your Card. If we are unable to charge your credit/debit card, we will put your account in Suspend Status and notify you via email and via an alert when you log in to MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM. If you fail to update your billing information within 30 days, your magazines will be cancelled and you will receive service equal to total payments made. If you reactivate your membership with updated information, your service will be restarted.
6. Magazine Publication Schedules and Substitutions. Magazines are published on varying schedules. They may be published weekly, every other week, monthly, quarterly, etc. In addition, magazines may skip publication in some weeks or months. MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM will do its best to display the current publication schedules of the magazines offered. However, since these schedules are controlled by the magazine publishers, not by MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM, delivery times may differ from what we display. Based on these varying publication schedules, you may not receive the same number of issues each month, but your membership charges will remain the same.
Magazine publication schedules are controlled by and at the discretion of the magazine publishers, not MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM. If a magazine publisher changes a title's publication schedule, MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM will do its best to update the description of that magazine on the MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM Web site. If a publisher ceases publication of a magazine you have selected, MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM will notify you of the replacement title. You have the option to change your switch any of your titles at any time, including replacement titles for ceased publications.
7. Existing Subscriptions. MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM will not cancel any magazine subscriptions you may already have. If you order a magazine from MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM you are already subscribing to, you may receive duplicate copies. To cancel any preexisting magazine subscriptions, you must contact the publisher of those magazines.
8. Lost, Late or Damaged Issues. Simply notify us of any lost, late or damaged copies and we will request an adjustment with the publishers to extend your service accordingly so that you will receive service equal to amounts paid.
9. Magazine Information/Content. All content of and information about magazines offered by MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM, including, but not limited to, publication schedules, features and content, and appropriateness for particular audiences is provided to MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM by the publishers of those magazines and is the sole responsibility of those publishers. MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM assumes no responsibility for magazine content or the accuracy of information provided to it by the magazine publishers.
10. Suspension or Rejection of Membership. MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM reserves the right to suspend or not accept any membership, for any reason in its sole discretion. Some of the reasons for suspension or refusal to accept a membership may include, but are not limited to: use of MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM membership for the purpose of or as a device for the reselling of the magazines obtained through MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM membership; inability of MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM to charge the credit/debit card provided by the member; any abuse of the MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM service, such as fraud or misrepresentation by the member to MAGAZINEGALLERY.COM or any attempt at or suspicion of such abuse, fraud, or misrepresentation.
