If your payment fails for whatever reason, you will be notified by email and we will retry the payment several times. You agree not to hold us responsible for banking charges incurred due to payments we take.

As part of your adult lovemyread subscription, users will receive an email on or about the 10th of each month announcing our new Monthly Selections. You will have until the end of the the month to review the Monthly Selections.

If you are on a monthly package, you may skip the month and no payment will be taken for your next month. Collection will automatically resume on the 1st of the month after. We are unable to reverse a skip so please do so carefully. If you are happy to continue payments but don't want a book that month, we offer the chance to 'bank' your slot. This is a process whereby you leave the slot open with no book selected. This will remain open and you will be able to come back and pick a book at any time whilst you have an active subscription.

If you are on a gift or pre paid subscription (3, 6 or 12 months) then you can 'bank' your monthly slot and use it at a later date. Banking is a process whereby you leave the slot open with no book selected. This will remain open and you will be able to come back and pick a book at any time whilst you have an active subscription. Unfortunately you cannot push your renewal date but you will always get the amount of books that have been paid for.

Open slots can be redeemed up to 14 days after a subscription has expired. Outside of this 14 day cooling off period, open book slots will be closed and can no longer be redeemed unless you have an active subscription. It is not possible to 'skip' a month whereby pushing your expiration date, when on a gift or prepaid package.

We reserve the right to not extend your subscription by one month if you do not choose a book or skip a month. Every attempt will be made to contact you asking you if you wish to receive a book though.

If you join lovemyread after the 15th day of the month, the window of time you have to make your selection(s) , or skip the following month will be communicated to you as part of the enrolment process.

If you join lovemyread after the 25th of any given month, you will only have the option to select titles from the following month. As such, you will presented the following month’s selection/choice as part of the sign up process detailed above.

When the gift ends, the ‘gifter’ will be contacted to ask if they wish to renew the gift or if they would like to pass ownership to the ‘recipient’. If they select renew, it will automatically renew. If they want to pass ownership, the recipient will receive an email asking them if they wish to take ownership of the package and if yes, will be required to enter bank details to carry on payments and future packages.
