Subscription Overview
A paid Subscription provides access to full Briefing MONTHLY articles and archive materials as described on our website. Any additional or bonus content is provided at our discretion and may change from time to time. If there are different tiers of subscription for Briefing MONTHLY, your subscription gives you access to the tier for which you subscribed as described at the time of subscription.
Your Subscription is for your personal use only and you are not permitted to share your account credentials with another person or use your Subscription for any commercial purpose, including to share, transfer or on-sell your Subscription to any third party.
We are not responsible for any issues with payment, delivery, or access to Briefing MONTHLY to the extent they result from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by you.
Payment & Billing
We do not store your payment details. Payments are processed securely via Beehiiv and its partner Stripe on our behalf. You consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third parties for the purpose of administering your Subscription.
When you subscribe, your will be charged immediately for your first subscription period. Your Subscription will be automatically renewed for the next subscription period at the end of each billing cycle, and you will be billed the applicable subscription fee for the next subscription period unless you cancel your Subscription in accordance with these Subscription Terms before such time.

If we change the price of a Subscription, the new price will apply to new subscribers only. Existing subscribers will continue to renew at the price they originally agreed to, unless they cancel their Subscription and re-subscribe at the new rate.
From time to time, we may introduce new pricing tiers or offers. Any such changes will be published on the Briefing MONTHLY website.
Cancellation & Refunds
You may cancel your Subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation stops future billing but does not retroactively refund past payments
