Terms of Use

Using Hardcover Coffee Club

Hardcover Coffee Club is a content and membership website for readers, coffee lovers, mystery fans and people who enjoy the stories and experiences we create. By using the site or creating an account, you agree to use it lawfully and respectfully.

Member Accounts

You are responsible for keeping your login information secure and for activity through your account. Free membership is available without recurring payment. Premium membership is available as monthly or annual recurring access.

Premium Billing, Renewal and Cancellation

Premium costs $9.95 per month or $99 per year in U.S. dollars. Your selected plan renews automatically through Stripe at the end of each billing period until you cancel it. You may cancel from your Your Membership page before the next renewal. Cancellation stops future renewals, and Premium access continues through the end of the paid period.

Monthly and annual membership payments are non-refundable and are not prorated after Premium access has been granted, except for duplicate charges, billing errors, failure to provide purchased access, or where applicable law requires otherwise. See our Refund and Cancellation Policy.
