Subscription Services

BarMagazine offers paid subscription plans ("Featured" and "Featured + Social") for bar owners and managers who wish to enhance their listing on the Website. By purchasing a subscription, you agree to the following terms:

Plans and Pricing

Subscription plans and their current pricing are displayed on our Claim Your Bar page. Prices are listed in euros (€) for visitors within the European Union and in US dollars ($) for visitors outside the EU. The exact price you will be charged is confirmed at checkout before payment.

Billing and Auto-Renewal

All paid subscriptions are billed annually. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel before the renewal date. You will be notified by email before each renewal.

Right of Withdrawal (14-Day Cooling-Off Period)

In accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), if you are a consumer in the European Union, you have the right to withdraw from your subscription within 14 days of purchase without providing any reason. To exercise this right, contact us at office@barmagazine.com with a clear statement of your decision to withdraw. Upon withdrawal, we will reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day we are informed of your decision. If you have used the service during the withdrawal period, you may be charged a proportionate amount for the service provided up to the point of withdrawal.

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the Stripe Customer Portal (a link is provided in your subscription confirmation and renewal emails) or by contacting us at office@barmagazine.com. Upon cancellation:

  • Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing period.
  • No further charges will be made after cancellation.
  • Your listing will revert to the free "Listed" tier at the end of the paid period.

Refunds

Outside of the 14-day withdrawal period, subscriptions are non-refundable. If you cancel mid-cycle, you will continue to have access to your paid features until the end of your current billing period. In exceptional circumstances, please contact us at office@barmagazine.com and we will review your request on a case-by-case basis.
