Please see Tell a Tale’s app Atale for current types of subscriptions and information regarding prices. In addition to payment pursuant to this section, data traffic charges may be payable to your operator, which are a matter between you and your operator beyond the scope of these general terms and conditions.
For new users, payment is made directly when taking out the subscription or, if you have taken advantage of a trial offer, when the trial period ends and you have not terminated the subscription beforehand. The subscription will renew each month until cancelled for the non-discounted initial monthly subscription rate. Refunds can not be claimed for any partial subscription month.

7. Changes to prices or terms and conditions for the Service
Tell a Tale reserves the right to change prices or terms and conditions for the Service, including these general terms and conditions (also during campaign periods) if this is necessary because of significant changes in the circumstances, changes in the Service’s production or acquisition costs or other expenses, or because of other acceptable reasons.
Changes to prices or terms and conditions will be notified by email or a message in the Service and may also be published on Tell a Tale’s app. The change will take effect in the following subscription period, but no earlier than one month after notice of the change was given.

Such notice of cancellation should preferably be given via Tell a Tale’s app.
In certain cases, Tell a Tale is entitled to change its prices or terms and conditions with immediate effect where a change is due to changes in exchange rates, taxes, VAT, public charges, decisions from public authorities, or legislative or regulatory changes requiring Tell a Tale to adapt its prices or terms and conditions or causing Tell a Tale to incur manifestly increased costs.

Important things to note about cookie-based web browser opt-outs (such as those utilized by the DAA, EDAA, APDA and DAAC):
Blocked cookies: The opt-out cookie may not work if your browser is configured to block third-party cookies.
Deleting or protecting opt-outs: If you delete your cookies, you will need to opt out again. There are browser plugins to help you preserve your opt-out cookies.
Only this browser: The opt-out only applies to the browser in which you set it. For example, if you set the opt-out while using Firefox, but then use Chrome, the opt-out will not be active in Chrome. To opt out in Chrome, you will need to repeat the opt-out process. This is because the cookies cannot be read between different browsers or browser profiles.
