Terms for supporters

Last updated: [TO VERIFY: date these terms take effect]

Who we are

House of Rhodri (houseofrhodri.com) is run by David Edwards. You can contact us at contact@houseofrhodri.com.

[PLACEHOLDER: a postal address. UK consumer law asks a business selling online to give its geographical address.]

What you get

While your support is active, you can read every story on this website in full. Without it, you can read the first part of each story; everything else on the website stays free for everyone.

Being a supporter doesn’t give access to the members’ family archive at tree.houseofrhodri.com, which is separate and for family members only.

You sign in with the email address you gave when you became a supporter. We email you a link each time: there’s no password. Your support is for you personally, so please don’t share your sign-in links.

Ways to support and prices

The ways to support us and their current prices are on the Become a supporter page:

• Monthly or yearly: a subscription that renews automatically until you cancel it.
• Fixed-term pass: one payment for the number of months shown. It doesn’t renew.
• Lifetime: one payment, with access for as long as the website publishes the stories. [TO VERIFY: what happens to lifetime supporters if the project ever closes]

Prices are shown before you pay, in the currency shown. [TO VERIFY: whether VAT applies, and if so that prices include it]

Paying

You pay through PayPal, with a PayPal account or a card. PayPal’s own terms apply to the payment itself. We never see your card details.

Your access starts as soon as PayPal confirms the payment.

Subscriptions

A monthly or yearly subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the price you agreed when you subscribed, until you cancel it.

You can cancel at any time on the Your support page, or in your PayPal account. You won’t be charged again, and you can keep reading the full stories until the end of the period you’ve already paid for. Payments already made aren’t refunded.

If we change our prices, new prices apply to new supporters only. [TO VERIFY: if the price of existing subscriptions ever had to change, we’d email at least 30 days before, and you could cancel]

If a renewal payment fails, PayPal will try again. If it still fails, the subscription stops and your access ends at the end of the period you’ve paid for.

Your right to cancel

The law usually gives you 14 days to change your mind about something you buy online. For digital content like ours, that right ends once you have access. When you become a supporter, you ask for access to start straight away and agree that you lose the 14-day right once it does.

This doesn’t affect your other legal rights: for example, if the service doesn’t work as described.

Refunds

Apart from your legal rights, refunds are at our discretion. [TO VERIFY: refund policy, e.g. whether to refund if asked within a few days] If a payment is refunded, the access it paid for ends.

Ending your access

We may end a supporter’s access if their sign-in is misused, for example shared widely. If we do, we’ll tell you why, and refund any unused part of what you paid. [TO VERIFY: whether to include this clause]

The stories

The stories and the other text on this website are © House of Rhodri, unless a credit says otherwise. You’re welcome to read them and share links to them, but please don’t copy or republish the full text. [TO VERIFY: copyright wording]

Your information

How we use your name, email address and payment details is explained in our privacy notice.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. Changes don’t apply to a payment you’ve already made. If a change affects a subscription you already have, we’ll email you first.
