1. What is a Gift subscription?


You can purchase and send a subscription voucher to a gift recipient via email.


To purchase a gift subscription, the gift purchaser needs to provide:


・The gift recipient’s email address

・The date the recipient will be informed of their gift

・The gift recipient’s name (optional)

・A gift message (optional)


The recipient will receive a voucher and instructions on how to claim their gift. No payment information is required to activate the gift. The gift voucher expires a year from the purchase date.


Gift subscriptions are one-time payments and non-refundable. Unless the recipient chooses to extend their subscription, gift

subscriptions will not renew automatically.


Gift recipients can not redeem their gift subscription if they have an active subscription.



2. Can I purchase multiple gift subscriptions?


Yes, but you are required to purchase them one at a time. If you plan to give a large quantity of subscriptions, contact us so our sales team can assist.
