Subscriptions

Subscription period

The Service or some parts of the Service are available only with a paid Subscription. You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (such as daily, weekly, monthly or annually), depending on the type of Subscription plan you select when purchasing the Subscription.

At the end of each period, Your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless You cancel it or the Foundation cancels it according to the cancellation policy adopted by the Foundation which may change from time to time with or without notice to You.

Subscription benefits

You may sign up for one of three membership tiers: Basic, Premium Annual, and Premium Monthly. Benefits for each tier will be updated periodically per the registration page. Discount codes will be delivered either via the portal in a notification or email and are for one use, unless stated otherwise. In 2021, a $25 give code will be sent to Premium Members for when they spend $50 or more in the swag shop at WomenOffshore.shop.

Subscription cancellations

You may cancel Your Subscription renewal either through Your Account settings page or by contacting the Foundation in writing. You shall not receive a refund for the fees You already paid for Your current Subscription period (or any other services purchased) and You will be able to access the Service until the end of Your current Subscription period.

Billing

You shall provide the Foundation with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information.

Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, the Foundation will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice. Any payments not made in a timely fashion may be subject to a late fee at the discretion of the Foundation.

Fee Changes

The Foundation, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period.

While it is not required to do so, the Foundation may provide You with prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give You an opportunity to terminate Your Subscription before such change becomes effective. In the event that you do not cancel Your Subscription prior to renewal, You will not be entitled to a refund for the fees paid. It is Your responsibility to terminate Your Subscription prior to renewal if you do not wish to renew for any reason and, in particular, due to a change in the Subscription Fee amount.

Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes Your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees (or any other fees paid by You to the Foundation) are non-refundable.

Certain refund requests for Subscriptions may be considered by the Foundation on a case-by-case basis and granted at the sole discretion of the Foundation.
