2. Overview

These Subscription Terms govern your use of The Daily Brief's premium subscription service ("Premium"). Premium provides access to additional features and content beyond the free edition. These terms supplement our Terms of Service.

3. Subscription Plans

Premium will be offered on a monthly billing cycle. The subscription price will be confirmed before launch and displayed on the Site. All prices are quoted in British Pounds Sterling (GBP) and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate.

4. Free Trial

A free trial period may be offered to new subscribers. The trial duration will be confirmed before launch. At the end of the trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial expires. You will be notified before any charge is applied.

5. Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. Your card details are collected and stored exclusively by Stripe — they never touch our servers. By subscribing, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service.

6. Auto-Renewal and Reminders

Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period. The charge will be applied to your payment method on or around the same date each month. You will receive a receipt from Stripe for each payment.

We will send you a renewal reminder by email before each renewal charge is processed. This reminder will confirm the amount to be charged and remind you of your right to cancel.

7. Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time via a single communication — by email to thedailybriefuk@gmail.com or through the account management page on the Site. Upon cancellation:

8. 14-Day Cooling-Off Period

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your subscription within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.

Premium is a digital content service. Under Regulation 37, if you wish to access Premium content during the 14-day cooling-off period, you must give your express consent to the supply of digital content beginning before the end of the cancellation period, and acknowledge that you will lose your right to cancel once the digital content has been fully supplied. This consent will be obtained at checkout via a clear tick-box before payment.

If you access Premium content during the cooling-off period having given consent, your refund may be reduced proportionately to reflect the service you have received, in accordance with Regulation 36(1).

Refunds under the cooling-off period will be processed within 14 days of us receiving your cancellation notice, using the same payment method you used for the original transaction.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, digital content supplied for a price must be of satisfactory quality, fit for a particular purpose, and as described. If Premium content does not meet these standards, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or price reduction. These statutory rights are in addition to, and not affected by, any other provisions of these terms.

12. Suspension and Termination
