Many features of Not the Bee are available without a paid subscription; however, premium access requires you to subscribe. When you purchase a subscription, you agree to pay the applicable subscription fee, as well as any applicable taxes and renewal fees as described more fully below. If we are unable to charge your credit card or other payment method, your subscription will automatically terminate.

We may increase the price of Not the Bee subscriptions at any time.

If you subscribe to Not the Bee, you agree to keep your contact information (i.e., address, email address, phone number) and payment information up-to-date at all times.

Monthly and annual subscriptions to the Site are currently available in two membership subscriptions (basic membership and premium subscription (which may include a single site premium subscription or premium bundle subscription)). Premium subscriptions provide you with access to exclusive, members-only content and benefits, including, but not limited to, an ad-free experience and access to our full-length podcast. The benefits made available to you vary, depending on which tier you select. As a subscriber, you may still receive notices of internal promotions, recommended content and bulletins that enhance the user experience. We do not make any guarantees as to the posting or availability of any content. Monthly subscriptions will automatically renew every month around the same day of the month as the initial purchase date, and annual subscriptions will automatically renew around the same date each year. You must cancel your subscription before the renewal date to prevent the next charge to your credit card or other payment method. We may also choose, in our sole discretion, not to renew your subscription for any reason.

You may cancel your subscription at any time by following the cancellation process below. All charges for the monthly or annual subscription are non-refundable. If you cancel your subscription, you will not receive any refund of amounts previously paid, and your members-only access will continue until the end of the current subscription period.

You may cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account and clicking the “cancel subscription” option on your dashboard. You may also request cancellation via email to: [email protected].

As an alternative to subscribing with a recurring fee, readers may support Not the Bee with a one-time contribution. One-time contributors do not receive the benefits associated with subscription membership. One-time contributions are not tax-deductible.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM.

(The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/consumer or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The arbitration shall be governed by Florida law and shall occur at a venue exclusively in Palm Beach County, Florida to be agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH CLAIM.

Each party shall be responsible for paying its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, regardless of which party prevails, but a party may recover any or all of its attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines.

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or our Terms and Conditions, our Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy or any other policies or agreements specified herein or therein are void, voidable, or otherwise invalid.

BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU IRREVOCABLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PRESENT A DISPUTE IN COURT, RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS OR DISPUTES WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction

If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you agree that with respect to any claim or controversy excluded from arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Section or determined by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be excluded from this section (“Excluded Claim”), you hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Palm Beach County, Florida, for the adjudication of any Excluded Claim, and hereby irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that you are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude a party from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the other party in any other jurisdiction to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such party. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS, OUR TERMS OF USE, OUR PRIVACY POLICY INCLUDING THE PRIVACY NOTICE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS OR THE SITE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
