You can pay for your subscription with a major credit card or debit card (“payment method). You may edit your credit card information by visiting our website and clicking on the My Account link, under “Subscribe” in the main menu. If your payment is unsuccessful by reason of insufficient funds, expiration, or otherwise, you remain responsible for any uncollected amount.

Recurring Billing

By placing an order for a subscription, you authorize us to charge you the subscription fee then in effect at the beginning of each billing period to your payment method. For example, you authorize us to charge your credit card the promotional rate disclosed on the subscription screen in the initial billing period (if applicable) and the regular subscription rate in subsequent bill periods. We automatically bill your credit card on the last day of each billing period. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, in the event your payment 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 a new payment method or your subscription will be canceled.

You acknowledge that the amount charged each billing period may vary for reasons that may include price changes or changing your subscription, and you authorize us to charge your payment method for such varying amount each billing period. You may not be notified of upcoming charges, except as otherwise provided herein.

Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription fees for any of our subscriptions at any time. We will notify you of any changes if the regular fee for your subscription changes from what was stated at the time of your initial order. You will have an opportunity to cancel your subscription at that time. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be charged the new subscription fee at your next billing period.

Billing Period

We will charge the subscription fee at the beginning of your subscription and automatically on the first calendar day of each billing period thereafter unless and until your subscription is cancelled.

One-time purchases/Gift Subscriptions

When you purchase a gift subscription, we will charge your payment method at the time of purchase. The gift subscription will not renew automatically and the recipient of the subscription will then have to purchase their own subscription which will then be subject to automatic renewal at the end of each billing period.

Cancellations

You can cancel your subscription at any time by going to the My Account page, under “Subscribe” in the main menu, and logging in. You must cancel your subscription before it renews each billing period to avoid the next billing period’s subscription fees. The billing period is based on the subscription length purchased (i.e. one month, three months, six months, one year). Accordingly, when you cancel, you cancel only 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 subscription’s billing period, and you will continue to have access to your subscription remainder of the billing period.

Refunds

Payments are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used subscriptions no matter the length. However, we reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit in any instance, that does not mean we are under any obligation to issue the same refund or credit in the future.

We will provide these electronic communications by posting them on the Ohio County website, the My Account page, and/or emailing them to your primary email address associated with your subscription.
