You can view The Post’s various subscription offerings at
https://subscribe.washingtonpost.com. We also offer gift subscriptions.

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 visiting our website and clicking on
the “My Account” link. 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.

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 visiting our website and clicking on the “My Account” link. 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
subcription 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 with a major credit card or
through other payment methods (e.g., Amazon Pay or PayPal) 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 our
website and clicking on the “My Account” link. If your payment is unsuccessful
by reason of insufficient funds, expiration, or otherwise, you remain
responsible for any uncollected amount.

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 bill your Payment Method 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 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.

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 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 subscription, you will be charged the new subscription fee at your
next Billing Period.

d. Billing Period. We will charge the subscription fee at the commencement of
your subscription or, if applicable, at the end of your free trial period, and
automatically on the first calendar 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, 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 subscription at any time by going to My
Account. 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 subscription 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 FEE IS NONREFUNDABLE. If you cancel your subscription, you are
not entitled to receive any refund or credits for the time remaining in your
Billing Periods, and you will continue to have access to your subscription until
the end of your current Billing Period (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.

information, account information, other communications, and changes or updates
