Terms of service
By joining, you agree to the terms below. I’ve kept them as plain as I can.
1. Who I am
The Monthly Post is a monthly card membership from Sea Light Studios, Inc., a Hawaiʻi corporation doing business as Sea Light Print Shop, The Monthly Post, and Send Your Aloha (“I,” “me”). Questions? Email aloha@monthlypost.com.
2. What you’re buying
Each month of your membership, I send one fine art greeting card with an envelope, a question card, and a voice sticker to your U.S. mailing address, shipping on or around the 15th. Your membership also includes access to The Writing Room and the voice feature.
- Month to Month: $15 a month
- The Full Year: $144 a year ($12 a month)
- Gift · 6 Months: $90, one payment
- Gift · 1 Year: $144, one payment
3. Payment and renewal
All payments go through my secure Shopify checkout. Prices are in U.S. dollars, and applicable taxes are added at checkout.
Month to Month and The Full Year renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. By joining, you authorize me to charge your payment method at each renewal. Before your Full Year renews, I’ll email you the date, the amount, and how to cancel. If prices ever change, I’ll email you before the new price applies. Gifts are one payment and never renew.
4. Refunds
Your first card is covered by the First Card Promise: if it doesn’t move you to write to someone, email me within 14 days of receiving it, and I’ll refund you in full and close your membership. This applies to your first membership order and doesn’t apply to gifts. After that, payments aren’t refundable. Full details are in my Refund Policy.
5. Canceling
You can cancel anytime from your account or by emailing me. Canceling stops future charges. On Month to Month, your cards stop after the last month you paid for. On The Full Year, you’ll keep receiving cards through the end of the year you paid for. Full details are in my Cancellation Policy.
6. Shipping
I ship within the United States only. Please make sure your shipping address is accurate at checkout. Full details are in my Shipping Policy.
7. Gifts
To give a membership as a gift, enter your recipient’s address as the shipping address at checkout. Gifts are one payment, never renew, and aren’t refundable. The person who buys the gift is responsible for the purchase.
8. Your voice recordings
Your recordings belong to you. By using the voice feature, you give me permission to store your recording and play it for anyone who scans the sticker on your card. Anyone holding your card can hear it, so treat it like the card itself. You can download a copy of your recording anytime, and if you’d like it deleted, email me at aloha@monthlypost.com. Please only record things you have the right to share. I may remove recordings that are unlawful, harmful, or abusive. How I store and protect recordings is explained in my Privacy Policy.
9. Intellectual property
All photography, artwork, card designs, questions, and written content in The Monthly Post are my original work and protected by copyright. Cards are for personal use and gifting. They may not be reproduced, resold, or used commercially without my written permission.
10. Limitation of liability
My total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid me in the 12 months before your claim. I’m not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under applicable consumer protection law.
11. Changes to these terms
I may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted here with a new date, and if I make a significant change, I’ll email members before it takes effect.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaiʻi. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Hawaiʻi, unless applicable consumer protection law requires otherwise.
13. Questions
I’m a small, founder-run shop, and I take care of my members. If something isn’t right, email me first and I’ll make it right. aloha@monthlypost.com
