Managing your Digital Subscription

Processing and Payment

Westerly will process your digital subscription purchase immediately after payment at checkout. Payments are processed though Stripe payment gateway. Your payment details must be verified before your subscription can be activated.
If your initial payment authorisation is revoked, your subscription will be terminated. We reserve the right to reject any subscription order at any time.
All digital subscriptions renew automatically, with the exception of the 12 Month Subscription and Gift Subscription. Payment for digital subscriptions will be debited from your nominated account annually unless you cancel according to our cancellation policy (see below).
You will be notified by email one week prior to the payment processing date of your rolling subscription, and will receive a tax invoice and email notification following successful payment.
It is your responsibility to provide valid payment details and ensure that your payment details are up to date.
It is your responsibility to ensure there are sufficient clear funds available in your account to allow a debit payment to be made in accordance with a direct debit request. You can manage payment details online through Your Account.
If your credit card expires or your payment method is otherwise invalid, your subscription may automatically be cancelled.
In the event that an automatic payment fails for any reason, you will be notified by email. Payment will be re-attempted after 3 days, then every 5 days. If payment is unsuccessful on the fourth attempt, your subscription will be cancelled.
Unless specified otherwise, all charges are non-refundable.

Pricing

When you purchase a digital subscription, you agree to pay the price stated at the time of your order. You also agree to the billing frequency specified at the time of your order.
All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Any discount eligibility is determined at the time of order. Discounts cannot be applied retrospectively.
Westerly reserves the right to change the prices and fees at any time. We will provide you with 14 days’ notice if the regular rate of a digital subscription changes from what was stated at the time of your order.
Price changes will take effect from your next billing date after the notice period. If you do not wish to continue your Digital Subscription at the revised price, you may cancel your subscription before the end of your current direct debit pay cycle. You can cancel at any time through Your Account or by emailing us at westerly@uwa.edu.au.

Promotions

Westerly may at times offer special promotions and offers. The specific terms and conditions of each offer will be stated at the time of the promotion and will apply in addition to the general Terms and Conditions. In the event of any inconsistency between the Terms and Conditions of a special offer and the general Terms and Conditions, these general Terms and Conditions will apply.
Promotional codes are valid for one use only, on selected products, unless stated otherwise. Where a discount has been applied to a rolling subscription, the reduced price will be valid for one year, after which the regular listed price will be billed.
We reserve the right under special circumstances to enable free access to our subscriber content for a limited period of time. During this time existing subscribers will not be eligible for a refund.
