Billing cycles are defined in your Order Form or can be found in the account management, in case you have an active subscription. Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel auto-renewal through your online account management page, by contacting our customer support team, or in case if you pay using PayPal, canceling from PayPal directly. For monthly subscriptions, you must cancel at least ten (10) days before the renewal date, and for all other subscriptions, you must cancel at least thirty (30) days before the renewal date. In such cases, the Premium Plan Subscription will terminate at the end of that subscription period, and You will lose access to the Premium Plan Subscription at that time.

Joomag will calculate all earnings from Digital Magazine Subscriptions sales minus Joomag’s Commission (“Earnings”) on sales made from the 15th of the previous month to the 14th of the current month (‘Earnings Cycle”). All Earnings will be paid to you monthly in arrears on the last day of the month of that Earnings Cycle (or the next business day if the last day is a holiday or weekend).

The time period commences upon your receipt of this information notice in textual form, but not before the conclusion of your Subscription and also not before we have met our information requirements as set forth under Article 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 paragraph 1 and 2 of the Introductory Act to the German Civil Code and our information requirements under § 312 g paragraph 1, first sentence German Civil Code in conjunction with Article 246 § 3 of the Introductory Act to the German Civil Code.
