Subscription Renewal: By signing up for a CozyRead Books subscription you understand and agree you will be charged at the standard rate and that any promotional codes used as a new customer at signup do not transfer or apply to your renewal fee. The Company do not accept any responsibility or offer refunds for ‘auto-renewals’ proceeding if you failed to cancel your subscription before your next renewal date.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your account on the CozyRead Books website. This does not initiate any refund if you fail to cancel before the renewal date.
Your subscription is continuous until you cancel and, if you cancel your membership before the end of an existing subscription commitment period, you will be charged for the remainder of that subscription period.
