The terms and conditions set out below apply to the memberships offered by the The Optimist Daily. Please read them carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under the law and set out the terms under which The Optimist Daily LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”) makes the memberships available to you. These terms will be subject to any rights you may have under consumer law to which we are bound and which cannot be waived by contract.

1. Which memberships do we have?

We have an Emissary Membership to The Optimist Daily. For details regarding each different membership please visit our membership page here.
As part of the subscription process, we will provide you with a username and password for login. When you order a membership from us online, you will receive your username and login by email. You will then be required to enter your username and password to login on our website in order to access content as part of your membership. Your subscription is personal to you and non-transferable. Please do not share your username and password with any other person.

2. Orders for memberships

Your order is an offer to buy from us which, if accepted by us as described below, will then constitute a binding contract. Nothing that we do or say will amount to any acceptance of that offer until we send you confirmation of your order by email.

We will not be responsible for any failure by you to receive such confirmation, which results from your failure to supply us with correct contact details. As a member you are obliged to enable us to send you emails regarding your account. Therefore you should not Opt-out or unsubscribe from our email system.

If you place an order for a membership online, you are able to correct errors on your order up to the point at which you submit your order. After this point, we will assume that all information provided as part of your order is correct and we will process your order accordingly.

We reserve the right to reject any order for a membership without giving a reason.

3. Membership Period

Once your order for a membership has been accepted, the membership will continue and renew automatically unless and until it is ended by either the customer or The Optimist Daily, in accordance with the provisions of section 7 (Refunds and Cancellation).

You agree to pay the membership price for the membership. You can requestion help or clarification by contacting our customer services team using the contact details in section 9 (Customer Services).

You must provide us with complete and accurate payment information at the time you subscribe. Payment for your membership can be made via PayPal or by credit/debit card. Your payments will be taken on a rolling basis and your membership will continue unless and until it is ended by either of us in accordance with the provisions of section 7 (Refunds and Cancellation).

6. Amending Memberships

We reserve the right to withdraw or change any membership and/or price at any time. This will not affect any membership that you have already paid for, unless the addition or removal relates to a third party platform, app and/or app store or for some reason we are withdrawing a membership due to our inability to fulfill that membership, in which case the provisions of section 7 (Refunds and Cancellation) will apply.

If we change the membership price we will inform you of this with at least 30 days notice (or such other length of notice as is required by the Direct Debit guarantee from time to time) by email, so that you can choose whether or not to cancel your payment. You will continue to receive content as part of your membership until you cancel your membership.

   Subject to the paragraphs below, you have the legal right to cancel your contract for a membership any time during your membership period.

With a yearly membership, we will send you two renewal messages; one message fifteen (15) days before your renewal date and another message three (3) days before your renewal date.
