Refund Policy

Last updated: 27 April 2026

This Refund Policy explains when you are entitled to a refund from Time Told™ Letters, how to request one, and how long it will take to process. It should be read alongside our Subscription & Cancellation Policy. We want every subscriber to have a positive experience. If something has gone wrong, please contact us and we will do our best to put it right.

2. Your 14-Day Cooling-Off Right

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have a statutory right to cancel your subscription within 14 days of purchase and receive a full refund. This right applies regardless of which subscription plan you have chosen.

2.1 Full Refund: No Letter Received

If you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period and no letter has yet been dispatched to you, you are entitled to a full refund of the amount paid. We will process your refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice.

2.2 Partial Refund: Letter Already Received

If you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period but a letter has already been dispatched and received, we reserve the right to deduct a proportionate amount from your refund to reflect the portion of the service already delivered.

In practice, this means we will refund the full amount paid, minus the equivalent of one month's subscription at the standard 1-Month Plan rate. We will set out the calculation clearly before processing the refund.

2.3 How to Request a Refund Within the Cooling-Off Period

To exercise your right to a refund within the cooling-off period, you must first notify us that you wish to cancel. Please contact us using one of the following:

Once we have received your cancellation notice, we will confirm receipt and process your refund within 14 days. Refunds are returned to the original payment method used at the time of purchase.

3. Refunds After the 14-Day Cooling-Off Period

3.1 Standard Position: No Refunds

Once the 14-day cooling-off period has passed, we do not offer refunds for unused months or the remainder of a billing cycle. This applies to all subscription plans (Monthly Rolling, 6-Month, and 12-Month).

When you cancel outside of the cooling-off period, your subscription will remain active until the end of the billing period you have already paid for. No further automatic renewals will occur after that point. See our Subscription & Cancellation Policy for full details on how cancellation works.

3.2 Exceptional Circumstances

We understand that sometimes things happen that are outside of your control. In exceptional circumstances, such as a serious illness or bereavement, we will consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis at our discretion.

If you believe your circumstances warrant an exception, please contact us at mail@timetoldletters.com and we will respond as sympathetically and promptly as we can.

4. Non-Delivery of Letters

We take care to ensure your letters are posted on time each month. However, postal delays and occasional losses do happen, particularly with Royal Mail.

If a letter is undelivered due to an incorrect address having been provided at the point of subscription, we are not able to offer a refund. Please ensure your delivery address is accurate and up to date. You can update your address by contacting us at mail@timetoldletters.com.

5. Damaged Letters

Where we are satisfied the letter was damaged in transit or dispatch, we will offer a replacement or a credit equivalent to one month's subscription. We are unable to accept damage claims after 14 days of the expected delivery date.

We are not responsible for damage caused after delivery, including damage caused by the recipient.
