3. Subscriptions (Digital & Physical)
   1. What’s Available
      The Terra Australisan offers a mix of free and subscriber-only content. Subscription options—such as ongoing plans, gift access, and special offers—are listed at theterraaustralisan.net. These may change from time to time, and continued use of your subscription confirms your acceptance of any updates.
   2. Subscription Terms
      Your subscription begins when you sign up or when any free trial ends. It will renew automatically at the start of each billing period (monthly, yearly, etc.) unless you cancel beforehand.
      By subscribing, you consent to automatic charges using your chosen payment method. If a payment fails, you’ll have four (4) days to update your details before your subscription is paused or cancelled.
      You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime by logging in and going to “Subscription & Billing” > “Manage Subscription.” Please note: if you cancel, your original rate may no longer be available when you return.
   3. Payment Options
      We accept credit cards and other methods shown during checkout, which may vary by region. You can update payment details anytime in your account settings.
   4. Price Changes
      If subscription prices change, we’ll notify you before your next renewal. If you continue your subscription, that means you accept the new rate. If not, you’re free to cancel before the next charge.
   5. One-Time Purchases
      Purchases like single issues or short-term passes are charged once and give access for the stated period. These do not renew automatically.
   6. Currency
      All prices are listed in Australian dollars (AUD) unless otherwise noted during checkout.
   7. Free Trials & Intro Offers
      From time to time, we may offer free trials or discounted introductory periods. A payment method is required to continue access after the trial ends. If you don’t cancel before then, the subscription starts automatically and you’ll be charged. Each account is generally limited to one trial or introductory offer unless stated otherwise.
   8. Cancelling Your Subscription
      You can cancel at any time through your account dashboard. If you cancel during a paid cycle, your access continues until the end of that cycle. Free trial cancellations may result in immediate loss of access.
   9. Refund Policy
      We do not typically offer refunds. If you cancel, you’ll retain access until the current period ends, but we won’t refund unused time. In rare cases, we may offer a refund or credit at our discretion. One refund doesn’t guarantee future refunds.
