Financial Review Group Print Subscription Terms and Conditions

DELIVERIES

Subscriptions to The Australian Financial Review, The Weekend Financial Review, BRW, AFR Smart Investor, MIS, Asset and CFO are available in Australia where a normal home delivery service exists. For more information on the applicable delivery areas, please contact Customer Service on 1800 646 990.

Subscriptions for magazines may be arranged outside normal delivery areas for an additional fee.

We may cancel or discontinue subscription services by notice to you (with a pro-rata refund) if normal home delivery services cease to be available in any area.

Please allow up to 10 working days from the date of application for daily and weekly publication subscriptions to commence and up to 6 weeks for monthly publication subscriptions.

FEES AND PAYMENT

You may elect to pay for a fixed term subscription upfront, or to pay for a subscription by direct debit (not available for AFR Smart Investor).

For upfront subscriptions, the full, fixed term payment is payable by cheque, money order or credit card prior to the commencement of deliveries. At the end of the fixed subscription term, you can renew your subscription by contacting Customer Service on 1800 646 990, faxing back the form provided with renewal notices or by following any other method specified by the publication at time of renewal.

For direct debit subscriptions (not available for AFR Smart Investor), a minimum subscription term of 3 months applies. We will debit the cost of your subscription from your nominated bank account or credit card each month in advance unless and until your subscription is cancelled or terminated in accordance with these terms and conditions. We may change your direct debit payment amount provided that we give you at least 14 days’ prior written notice. Unless you notify us in writing that you wish to cancel your subscription as a result of such change, you authorise us to direct debit your bank account or credit card for the new amount from your next billing date.

Subscription charges quoted are GST-inclusive for subscriptions within Australia. Where GST applies to any supply made to you, we will deduct the applicable GST and issue you with a Tax Invoice. GST means the Australian goods and services tax charged under A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (”Act”). Tax invoice means tax invoice as defined by the Act.
