Cancellation policy

Purchase Options Policy

Some items in our store are offered as a subscription or pre-order. This policy explains how these purchases work and how you can manage or cancel them.

Subscriptions

When you purchase an Athena subscription, you're signing up for 12 months of delivery (6 issues, released bi-monthly). Rather than one upfront payment, you'll be charged once every 2 months, in line with each issue's release — 6 payments total across your 12-month term.

Your payment details are stored securely and charged automatically ahead of each issue's dispatch. At the end of your 6-issue term, your subscription will need to be renewed — it does not auto-renew without your action, and we'll email you ahead of time to confirm.

You can cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel, you won't be charged for any future issues, but issues already charged and dispatched are non-refundable — see our Returns Policy for details. Your order confirmation emails include a link to manage or cancel your subscription.

Pre-orders

From time to time, we may offer a future issue for pre-order before it's printed. When you pre-order, we may take full or partial payment at checkout and dispatch your copy once it's off the press.

You can cancel a pre-order at any time before it has shipped for a full refund. Once your pre-ordered issue has shipped, our standard Returns Policy applies.
