Updated September 11, 2024|Published June 17, 2022


By The Washington Post

Updated September 11, 2024

This Terms of Sale governs the sale of digital products (the “Digital Products”)
offered by the Washington Post, 1301 K Street NW, Washington, DC 20071. By using
the Digital Products, you also agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.


You are what you read. Reveal your 2024 reader type with Newsprint.


Users located in the EU, UK, and Québec should refer to Section 10 for
additional information. You understand that your rights related to your use of
the Digital Products may depend on where you reside.



1. Digital Products

The Washington Post Digital Products include the website
(www.washingtonpost.com), mobile site, and tablet and mobile apps. You are not
necessarily required to purchase anything to use The Post’s Digital Products. If
you do not purchase a subscription or product, however, your access to the
Digital Products will be limited.

You can view The Post’s various recurring subscription offerings at
https://subscribe.washingtonpost.com. We may also offer gift subscriptions and
limited-term and limited-scope access offerings.

The Post reserves the right to modify the content, type and availability of any
Digital Product at any time. If you do not cancel your subscription for the
Digital Products after the modifications become effective, you agree to the
modifications.

2. Subscription

a. Auto-renewing Subscription. If you purchase a recurring subscription, your
Digital Products subscription, which may start with a promotional rate or free
trial, will auto-renew at the frequency stated at the time of your order unless
cancelled. You will be charged your first subscription fee and any applicable
taxes on the date you purchase your Digital Products subscription or after your
free trial ends. Your Digital Products subscription will automatically continue
at the stated interval, and you will continue to be charged at the stated price
(including any applicable taxes) at the beginning of each billing cycle
(“Billing Period”) unless prior to the end of your current Billing Period: (a)
you terminate your account; (b) you cancel your subscription (as described
below); (c) we decline to renew your subscription; or (d) these Terms of Sale
are otherwise properly terminated as expressly permitted herein. You can view
the date of your next scheduled payment by accessing your account on our
website, clicking on the “Subscription & Billing” tab, and selecting “Manage
subscription”. If any subscription fee is not paid in a timely manner, or your
transaction cannot be processed, we reserve the right to suspend, disable,
cancel or terminate your Digital Products subscription.

If a stated price or other material information is determined by us in our sole
discretion to be in error, we are not under any obligation to offer you the
Digital Products at that price and reserve the right to cancel, terminate or not
process your order (including accepted orders). We will notify you of the error
and either provide you with a refund or give you the opportunity to cancel your
order and obtain a refund if payment has already been made.

b. Differing Subscriptions/Promotions. The Post may offer a number of types of
subscriptions, including subscriptions to different Washington Post products and
special promotions. Any materially different terms from those described in these
Terms of Sale will be disclosed at the time of purchase or in other
communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding
your subscription by accessing your account on our website and clicking on the
“Subscription & Billing” tab. We reserve the right to change or terminate any
offered subscriptions or promotions at any time.

c. Locked-In, Fixed-Rate Subscriptions. The Post may, in its sole discretion,
offer a subscription in which you agree to pay a recurring, locked-in fixed
subscription rate each billing cycle until cancelled. If such subscription is
ever cancelled or terminated for any reason, you will permanently lose your
fixed-rate and may not be able to take advantage of another fixed-rate
subscription, although you may be able to re-subscribe at other rates offered by
the Post for a specified period of time.

d. Premium+ Subscription. Users in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and
Switzerland have the option to subscribe to our Premium+ product, which offers
unlimited access to www.washingtonpost.com (the “Site”) on any device, as well
as all of our apps. The Premium+ product has no advertising or third-party ad
tracking on the Site. Please note, however, that the Site, may include content
embedded from other sites and services (such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube)
and that such third-party content may contain some advertising and third-party
ad tracking from those sites or services. In addition, our apps and newsletters
may contain advertising and third-party ad tracking. Please view our Privacy
Policy for more information and Section 10 of these Terms of Sale for more
information about your rights depending on where you reside.

3. Billing

a. Payment Method. You can pay for your subscription or purchase with a major
credit card or through other payment methods made available during the purchase
process (“Payment Method”). Accepted Payment Methods may vary based on your
location. You may edit your Payment Method information by visiting your My Post
account on our website.

b. Recurring Billing. By placing an order for a recurring subscription, you
authorize us to charge you the subscription fee then in effect at the beginning
of each Billing Period, plus applicable taxes, to your Payment Method. You
acknowledge that the amount charged each Billing Period may vary for reasons
that may include price changes, changing your subscription, or changes in
applicable taxes, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such
varying amount each Billing Period. Applicable taxes may vary. For example, you
authorize us to charge your Payment Method the promotional rate disclosed on the
subscription screen for the agreed upon promotional Billing Periods (if
applicable) and the regular subscription rate in subsequent Billing Periods,
each with applicable taxes. We automatically charge your Payment Method on the
first day of each Billing Period. We reserve the right to change the timing of
our billing, in particular, in the event your Payment Method has not
successfully settled. If your Payment Method is declined for a recurring payment
of your subscription fee, you have four (4) days to provide us a new Payment
Method or your subscription will be canceled. If your payment is unsuccessful by
reason of insufficient funds, expiration, or otherwise, you remain responsible
for any uncollected amount.

c. Subscription Fee Changes. Except as otherwise set forth herein, we reserve
the right to change subscription fees for any of our subscriptions at any time.
If the regular fee for your recurring subscription increases from the fee stated
at the time of your initial order, we will notify you before applying the change
to your subscription or charging you in connection with an automatic renewal.
You will have an opportunity to cancel your subscription at that time. If you do
not cancel your recurring subscription, you will be charged the new subscription
fee when we charge you for your next Billing Period.

d. Billing Period. We will charge the subscription fee at the commencement of
your recurring subscription or, if applicable, at the end of your free trial
period, and automatically on the first day of each Billing Period thereafter
unless and until your subscription is cancelled.

e. One-Time Purchases. When you purchase a stand-alone product, such as a gift
subscription or purchase that grants you access to the Digital Products for a
limited amount of time (“Access Period”) or for a limited scope (e.g., access to
a limited number of articles), we will charge your Payment Method at the time of
purchase.

f. Currency. The currency in which you will be billed will be stated during the
purchase process. All prices are in United States dollars, unless otherwise
stated.

4. Free Trials and Promotional Rates. We may offer promotions to obtain a
subscription on a trial basis for free or at a promotional rate. If your
subscription includes a free trial, you will not be charged the applicable fee
during your free trial. To obtain the free trial, you will be required to
provide a Payment Method in order to ensure uninterrupted access and continued
use after the expiration of the free trial. Upon completion of your free trial,
your subscription will automatically convert into a recurring paid subscription
and your Payment Method will be charged the applicable fee unless you have
cancelled your subscription before your free trial ends. You may cancel your
subscription during your free trial to avoid being charged as described above;
such cancellation may be effective immediately.

If your subscription includes a promotional rate, you will be charged the
promotional rate for the agreed upon number of Billing Periods and upon
completion of those Billing Periods, your subscription will continue to
automatically renew at the regular rate.

You may only be permitted to use one free trial or promotional rate offer. If
your subscription is ever cancelled or terminated for any reason, and you
purchase an additional subscription, you may not be eligible for a free trial or
to take advantage of another promotional rate.

5. Cancellations and Refunds

a. Cancellations. You can cancel your recurring subscription at any time by
visiting your My Post account on our website. You must cancel your subscription
before it renews each Billing Period to avoid being billed the next Billing
Period’s subscription fees to your Payment Method. Cancellation only applies to
future charges associated with your subscription, and you will not receive a
refund for the current Billing Period. Your cancellation will become effective
at the end of your current Billing Period, and you will continue to have access
to your subscription for the remainder of the Billing Period (except that if you
cancel your subscription during a free trial period, your cancellation may
become effective immediately). Any purchases of a Digital Product through a
third party (e.g., app store), are subject to that third party’s cancellation
policies and procedures.

b. Refunds. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED HEREIN OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR PURCHASE FEE IS NONREFUNDABLE. If you cancel your
subscription or stop using your limited-term or limited-scope access offering,
you are not entitled to receive any refund or credits, including for the time
remaining in your Billing Periods or Access Period, and you will continue to
have access to your subscription until the end of your current Billing Period or
Access Period (unless we provide you with a refund or credit), or in the case of
a limited-scope offering, you will continue to have access to the product you
purchased (unless we provide you with a refund or credit). We reserve the right
to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or
credit in one instance, we are under no obligation to issue the same refund or
credit in the future.

Users in the EU, UK, and Québec should review Section 10 for additional
information about their rights.

6. E-Sign Disclosure and Consent. By purchasing a Digital Products subscription
and/or clicking on the box at account opening, you consent to receive notices,
disclosures, agreements, policies, receipts, confirmations, transaction
information, account information, other communications, and changes or updates
to any such documents electronically (collectively, the “Electronic
Communications”). We will provide these Electronic Communications by posting
them on the Washington Post website, posting within your account, and/or
emailing them to your primary email address associated with your Digital
Products subscription. You agree that the Electronic Communications will satisfy
any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in
writing. Electronic Communications will be deemed received by you within 24
hours of the time posted to our website or the “My Account” page, or within 24
hours of the time emailed to you unless we receive notice that the email was not
delivered.

a. System Requirements. To receive Electronic Communications, you must have the
following equipment and software:

 * a computer or other device with an Internet connection;
 * a current web browser with cookies enabled;
 * an up to date version of Adobe Acrobat Reader to open documents in .pdf
   format;
 * a valid email address (that is your primary email address associated with the
   Digital Products Subscription); and
 * sufficient storage space or other storage methods (e.g., a USB drive or
   secure online storage) to save past Electronic Communications or a printer to
   print them.

You confirm that you have access to the necessary equipment and are able to
receive, open, print, or store Electronic Communications.

You must keep your primary email address up to date and ensure that it is valid
and operational. You can change your primary email address by accessing your
account on our website and clicking on the “Account Access” tab. You agree that
Electronic Communications sent to the primary email address for your account
will be deemed to have been provided to you even if that address is incorrect,
out of date, blocked by your service provider or otherwise inaccessible to you,
or cannot be received due to your failure to maintain the system requirements.

We will notify you if there are any material changes to the hardware or software
needed to receive Electronic Communications.

b. Paper Delivery of Disclosures and Notices. You have the right to receive a
paper copy of the Electronic Communications. To receive a paper copy at no
charge, please request it in one of the following ways: (1) go to the Washington
Post Customer Care at www.washingtonpost.com/contactus and send us a message
requesting a paper copy of Electronic Communications and include your name,
email address and mailing address; or (2) call us at 202-334-6100 and speak to
the customer service representative. Any withdrawal of your consent to receive
Electronic Communications will be effective only after we have a reasonable
period of time to process your withdrawal. You understand and agree that if you
withdraw your consent we may – though we are not required to – cancel your
Digital Products subscription.

7. Changes to the Terms of Sale. We may, from time to time, change these Terms
of Sale. When such changes are made, we will make a copy of the new Terms of
Sale available to you on our website. If you do not cancel the services after
the changes become effective, you agree to the changed terms.

8. Termination. We may terminate your subscription at our sole discretion and
without any notice. If we cancel your subscription, we may give you a prorated
refund based on the amount of time remaining that you cannot use; provided,
however, that we will not be obligated to grant you a refund if we terminate
your account or your subscription because we determine, in our sole discretion,
that your use of the services violates these Terms of Sale, our Terms of
Service, any applicable law, or has harmed another user.

related to this Terms of Sale for Digital Products or your use of The Post’s
services, please (1) go to the Washington Post Customer Care at
