Should Subscriber request a refund which is denied for a valid reason under these Terms of Service, and should Subscriber subsequently file a claim against MageeNews.com, MageeNews.com shall be entitled to collect from Subscriber all costs (including attorneys fees) associated with defending such a claim.

Free Trial Memberships and Coupons

MageeNews.com may occasionally offer promotional free trial memberships.

Only one free trial period is allowed per subscriber. Subsequent subscriptions do not qualify for free trials.

MageeNews.com may offer coupons or other promotional offers from time to time.
