​
5. Privacy and Data
Please read the privacy and data information below.
6. Cancelling a Subscription
'The Messenger' subscription is valid for 6 consecutive months, and the total subscription amount is paid in advance. The subscription does not automatically renew, so your subscription will therefore be cancelled at the end of the 6 month period, unless you purchase a new subscription.
​
7. Lost or Damaged Items
7.1 If an item is lost in transit then, unless proven otherwise, Pigeon Post will provide a refund or deliver a similar item. Please note that in the case of an item lost in transit, and so that we can make a claim to Royal Mail, customers may be contacted by Royal Mail to confirm the item has not been received. Please refer to the Delivery Information to ascertain when an item is officially deemed lost.
7.2 If the item is received in a damaged and unusable state, then please advise Pigeon Post as soon as possible (and within 7 working days of receipt). Pigeon Post will liaise with you to ascertain the nature of damage, and will request a photograph if necessary. Pigeon Post may require the item to be returned to us. If Pigeon Post accepts that the item has arrived damaged, then you will be refunded the original cost of the item, or a similar item will be provided. Please note, however, that Pigeon Post packages contain vintage items which will have wear and tear commensurate with age. ​
​
8. Returns
If the book you receive is a title you already own or have previously read, unfortunately we are unable to exchange or swap the book or provide a refund. The nature of Pigeon Post is that we handpick a surprise vintage book for you and unfortunately we cannot take in to account your prior reading history.
​
9. Changes to the Service
9.1 Pigeon Post reserves the right to terminate or change the service for any reason at any time without notice, subject only to refunding any amounts which have been paid by you in advance.
9.2 Pigeon Post reserves the right to modify the Terms and Conditions at any time by updating this posting.
9.3 Pigeon Post reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time.
