Subscription & Cancellation Policy

Last updated: 27 April 2026

This policy explains how Time Told™ Letters subscriptions work, including your billing options, renewal terms, how to cancel, and your rights under UK consumer law. Please read it carefully before subscribing.

1. Our Subscription Plans

Time Told™ Letters is a monthly snail mail subscription service. Each month, subscribers receive a typewriter-style letter from a person of an older generation, sharing a personal story, life lesson, or piece of advice, all presented on no more than four sides of A4 paper.

We offer three subscription plans. The longer the plan you choose, the lower the equivalent monthly cost. All prices are in pounds sterling (GBP) and include VAT where applicable.

Plan Billing Cycle Total Charged Monthly Equivalent Saving vs Monthly
Monthly Rolling Every month £11.99 £11.99
6-Month Plan Every 6 months £65.94 £10.99 Save 8%
12-Month Plan Every 12 months £119.88 £9.99 Save 17%

Prices are subject to change. Any changes will be communicated to active subscribers in advance and will not take effect until your next renewal. See Section 6 for full details.

2. How Billing Works

2.1 Payment on Subscription

Payment is taken at the point of subscribing. For all plans, you are charged the full plan amount upfront at the start of each billing cycle, not monthly in arrears.

For example, if you subscribe to the 6-Month Plan, the full 6-month amount is charged immediately and again every 6 months at renewal.

2.2 Automatic Renewal

All subscription plans renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before the renewal date. You will receive a reminder email at least 7 days before your plan is due to renew, giving you time to cancel if you do not wish to continue.

By subscribing, you authorise Time Told™ Letters to charge your chosen payment method at each renewal. You can cancel auto-renewal at any time (see Section 4).

2.3 Payment Methods

We accept payment via Stripe. Your payment details are held securely by our payment provider and are not stored by Time Told™ Letters directly.

2.4 Failed Payments

If a renewal payment fails, we will notify you by email and attempt to collect payment again. If payment cannot be collected after two (2) attempts, your subscription will be paused and you will not receive further letters until payment is resolved.

3. Your Right to Cancel: 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 without giving any reason. This is your statutory cooling-off period.

3.1 How to Exercise Your Right to Cancel

To cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period, you must notify us clearly before the 14 days have expired. You can do this by:

You are not required to use any particular form; any clear written statement of your intent to cancel is sufficient.

3.2 Effect of Cancellation Within the Cooling-Off Period

If you cancel within 14 days:

4. Cancelling After the Cooling-Off Period

4.1 Cancelling Before Your Next Renewal

You may cancel your subscription at any time. To avoid being charged for the next billing cycle, you must cancel before your renewal date. If you cancel after your renewal payment has been taken, your cancellation will take effect at the end of that billing period and no further renewals will occur.

For example, if you are on a 6-Month Plan and cancel four months into your current cycle, you will continue to receive letters for the remaining two months and your subscription will simply not renew at the end of the period.

4.2 No Partial Refunds After Cooling-Off Period

Once the 14-day cooling-off period has passed, we do not offer partial refunds for unused months within a billing cycle. Your subscription will remain active until the end of the period you have paid for, after which it will not renew.

4.3 How to Cancel

To cancel your subscription, please contact us using one of the following methods:

We aim to confirm all cancellations within 3 working days. Please retain any confirmation we send you for your records.

5. Pausing Your Subscription

If you need a temporary break from your subscription, please contact us. While we cannot guarantee availability, we will do our best to accommodate a pause of up to 3 months, for 6-month subscriptions and above where possible, at our discretion.

During a pause, letters will not be dispatched and your billing cycle will not advance. Your subscription will resume at the end of the agreed pause period.

6. Price Changes

We reserve the right to change our subscription prices. If we do, we will:

Continued use of the service after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.

7. Gifted Subscriptions

If you have purchased a subscription as a gift, the following applies:

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Subscription & Cancellation Policy from time to time. The most current version will always be available on our website. Where changes are material, we will notify active subscribers by email with reasonable notice before they take effect.
