Subscription Benefits

  1. Your Subscription entitles you to certain benefits for the duration of your Subscription (“Subscription Benefits”). The details for your Subscription Benefits (and any applicable exclusions) will be set out in: (a) the Offer; (b) an email from Meat Society or (c) these Subscription Terms. Meat Society may choose to offer more than one type of Subscription. Subscription Benefits may differ based on the type of Subscription you have purchased. Subscription Benefits cannot be combined with other third-party promotional offers.

  2. Subscription Benefits may include giveaways, competition entries subject to regulatory permits, access to exclusive content, discounts and other benefits in relation to goods or services purchased through the Website, as well as other benefits offered by third parties in connection with your Subscription from time to time. You may also receive additional access, discounts, giveaways or other benefits that are personalised for you, from time to time. You can see the current key benefits that apply to your Subscription here: www.meatsociety.com.au/pages/discount-society.

  3. When you purchase a Subscription, you agree to pay Meat Society a recurring monthly payment (“Recurring Payment”). The duration of your entitlement to the Subscription Benefits will align with the Recurring Payment billing interval (“Billing Cycle”). Your entitlement to the Subscription Benefits will automatically renew at the end of your Billing Cycle unless you cancel your Subscription. 

Billing, Cancellation and Pause of Subscription

  1. The Recurring Payment is in Australian Dollars and inclusive of GST and applicable taxes where required by law. You authorise Meat Society to charge the Recurring Payment for your first Billing Cycle to your nominated payment method on Your Billing Day, which will activate your Subscription. Your Billing Cycle commences on your scheduled billing date (“Your Billing Day”) and expires at midnight on the day prior to Your Billing Day in the subsequent calendar month. You further authorise Meat Society to automatically charge the Recurring Payment to your nominated payment method for each subsequent Billing Cycle, unless you cancel your Subscription. 

  2. For offers tied to your payment card, that card must still be valid and on your account when the relevant offer starts. For cancellations and to avoid charges cancel in the Subscriber section of the Website, by selecting Cancel Subscription at least 48 hours prior to Your Billing Day. If you cancel your Subscription, you will still have access to the Subscription Benefits until the end of your current Billing Cycle.

  3. You can pause your Subscription at least 48 hours prior to your Billing Cycle to avoid being charged for the next Billing Cycle. During a pause, you will not be charged the Recurring Payment and you will not have access to the Subscription Benefits.

  4. If your selected payment method is declined, Meat Society or its affiliate payment provider will prompt you for a new payment method. Meat Society may also automatically retry your selected payment method periodically over the course of Your Billing Cycle to help you get back to enjoying the benefits of your Subscription. However, Meat Society reserves the right to terminate your Subscription for any unpaid Billing Cycles with no further charges to you and you will not be eligible for any Subscription Benefits.

  5. Subject to your rights under applicable law, including Australian Consumer Law, and any other term in these Subscription Terms, Recurring Payments are non-refundable.

  6. Meat Society or its affiliates are not responsible for any fees charged by the payment provider (for example, the bank you have a payment card with) including, but not limited to, overdraft fees, insufficient funds fees, interest charges, foreign exchange fees, cross border fees, or other fees levied by the provider of your payment method.

Competitions

Changes to Subscriptions and Benefits

  1. Meat Society may vary the Recurring Payment charged to your selected payment method from time to time. If your Recurring Payment increases we will provide you with 30 days prior notice via email before such increase takes effect. All changes will be effective after expiry of the 30 day notice period, upon the commencement of your next Billing Cycle. You may avoid these changes by cancelling your Subscription.

  2. Meat Society may vary these Subscription Terms or the Subscription Benefits from time to time. Meat Society will provide you with at least 30 days’ written notice in the event of a material change to these Subscription Terms or the Subscription Benefits that detrimentally affects your rights under these Subscription Terms.
