Gift subscriptions are prepaid and available in 3, 6, and 12-month durations. They are paid in full at the time of purchase and do not automatically renew. The purchaser is responsible for providing accurate recipient details. Each month the recipient will receive an email with curated book options to choose from; if no selection is made, a book will be chosen automatically.

Gift subscriptions may be cancelled within 14 days of purchase provided fulfilment has not yet begun. Once the first book has been dispatched, the subscription becomes non-refundable for the remaining term. This does not affect your statutory rights.
