Terms and Conditions

Q. Subscription processing - how long will it take?

Subscriptions are usually processed within 2 days. (Variation may occur due to unforeseen staff shortages.)

Q. When will I receive my first magazine?

Subscriptions will start with the next edition of the bi-monthly magazine – this means that your first edition may take up to eight weeks to arrive.

Q. Will I receive a subscriber gift?

Subscriber gifts are available on occasion and at the discretion of Green Parent Media. When purchasing your subscription please use the code provided in the magazine to secure your subscriber gift.

Q. How can I cancel my subscription?

Contact our sales team on [email protected] with your full customer details and inform us that you would like to cancel the subscription. Your subscription will be terminated but no funds will be returned. All purchases are final, and we do not offer any refunds unless otherwise specified.
