Subscriptions:

To view the newspapers, you have to pay a fee: the different packages are described on our payment page but generally include Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly. No contract between us exists until we send you a confirmation email, after receiving your order and accepting your payment.

Continuous membership on subscriptions:

If you buy a subscription, it is on a continuous membership basis, meaning that it will continue until you cancel it. You can cancel the subscription at any time via the ‘my account’ area (you will need to sign in) and your subscription will end at the end of your current billing cycle (depending on whether you pay for your subscription monthly, quarterly, or yearly).

Please be aware that you must cancel your subscription more than two days before your next billing date, or your subscription will continue automatically.

Cancellation and your right to a refund:

If you buy a subscription package, you can contact us and cancel within 14 days (starting on the day after you receive our confirmation email) and we will give you a full refund as long as you have not viewed any newspaper images during that period. If you have used the service to view images, we cannot offer a refund.  We do not provide refunds if you cancel after this 14 day period.

You cannot share your account: Each account can only be used by a single person at one time.

Recognising copyright owners:

If you believe that you own the copyright in any of the content on the website, and we have not recognised you as the copyright owner, please contact us and we will take down the content and investigate quickly.

Availability of the service:

We do not guarantee or promise that our services will always be available or fully functional. We will not be liable to you for any losses you might suffer from lack of availability.

Changes to the service:

Our services are provided on an “as is” basis and are subject to change. We reserve the right to withdraw elements of the service or any content within it at any time and will not be liable to you for any losses you might suffer.  However, where we remove content from your subscription, we will try to replace any content you have paid for with a comparable substitute.

Things beyond our control:

We will not be liable to you for any loss you may suffer during any period where we cannot provide a service as a result of circumstances beyond our control. This includes circumstances such as Acts of God, strikes, equipment failure and anything else we cannot reasonably be expected to have control over. We will always try to notify you about such problems.

Liability:

The only warranties or promises we give are set out in this document. We can’t accept liability for any indirect or consequential losses, loss of data, or any unwanted use of your content you suffer from using the website, although we never limit liability for personal injury or death caused by our negligence, fraud, or breach of statutory duty. For any other loss, you suffer that is caused by us, we limit the liability we have to you to the total money you spent on the website in the 12 calendar months before the event giving rise to the claim. Your statutory rights are not affected.

If you violate the copyright of any copyright owner who licenses the content on the website to us, they can also take action against you directly.

Assignment:
