The monthly subscription plan to the Service is offered for Thirty Nine Dollars and Ninety Nine Cents ($39.99 USD). Users may also choose to pre-pay for a Three (3) or Six (6) month subscription.

In subscribing to the monthly Service, you are considered a Subscriber of the Service, and you agree to the recurring monthly payment of a Thirty Nine Dollars and Ninety Nine Cents ($39.99 USD) monthly subscription fee, whether monthly or in pre-paid intervals offered by the Website.

Active subscriptions will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the initial subscription term unless the Subscriber expressly cancels the subscription at any time by logging into the Account Page, or by emailing Unplugged Book Box at support@unpluggedbookbox.com.

You will be immediately billed upon your first initial order. If you choose a one (1) month plan, you will be charged for one (1) month plus any additional fees, taxes, and shipping and handling. If you choose a three (3) month plan, you will be billed in one lump sum for three (3) months plus any additional taxes, fees, and shipping and handling.

For example, if you purchase a one (1) month subscription in August, you will be billed immediately. You will receive the September box, which ships in the first week of September, and you will be billed again on the 15th of September for the October box. If you purchase a three (3) month subscription plan in August, you will be billed immediately in one lump sum for three (3) months. You will receive September, October, and November boxes and you will be billed again for the following three (3) months on November 15th.
