Terms & Conditions
Last updated: October 2026
These terms and conditions govern the use of The Beyond website and the purchase of subscriptions to The Beyond comic. By using this website or subscribing to the comic you agree to the terms outlined below.About The Beyond
The Beyond is a children’s comic subscription service based in the United Kingdom. These terms apply to all users of this website and all customers who purchase a subscription.
Subscriptions
Subscriptions to The Beyond provide a printed comic delivered to your chosen address every month.
Two plans are available: a monthly subscription, paid each month, and an annual subscription, paid once a year for twelve issues. Both plans deliver the same comic.
Your first payment is taken when you subscribe. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, on the anniversary of the date you signed up — each month on the monthly plan, and each year on the annual plan. You may switch between the two plans at any time from your account dashboard.
Minimum Term
Monthly subscriptions are subject to a 3-month minimum term, and annual subscriptions to a 12-month minimum term. In both cases the term begins on the date of your first payment.
On the monthly plan you will be charged your first payment of £1 and 2 subsequent payments of £3.50 during this period. On the annual plan your single payment of £39.50 covers the whole of it.
You may cancel your subscription at any time after your minimum term has ended. Cancellation requests made during the minimum term cannot be processed until the term concludes. If you switch plans during a minimum term, the term of the plan you switch to applies, counted from the date of your first payment.
Payments
Payments for subscriptions are processed securely through Stripe. By purchasing a subscription you agree to the payment terms presented at checkout.
We do not store your payment details on this website.
Delivery
The Beyond comic is delivered by post to the address provided during subscription.
Delivery times may vary depending on postal services and location. At launch The Beyond is available for delivery within the United Kingdom only.
Managing Your Subscription
Subscribers may manage their subscription through their account dashboard. This includes updating delivery details or cancelling future payments.
School subscriptions
These terms apply to schools and other educational organisations subscribing through our schools sign-up page. Where they differ from the terms above, these apply.
Copies and prices. Schools can order between 3 and 30 copies each month. The price per copy depends on how many copies you order, and is shown when you sign up. Every copy is charged at the price for your quantity.
Paying. You pay by card when you sign up, for the billing period you choose: monthly, every 6 months, or yearly. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, and we charge your card for the next one. The introductory first-issue offer and minimum term for individual subscribers don’t apply to schools. If your school needs to pay by invoice, email hello@thebeyondcomic.co.uk.
Price changes. If our school prices change, we’ll email you at least 30 days before your next renewal. The new price applies from that renewal onwards.
Delivery. We post your copies to your school each month, including during school holidays. Please make sure someone can receive them.
Changing your order. To change the number of copies, email us. Monthly subscriptions change from your next payment. 6-monthly and yearly subscriptions change when they renew.
Cancelling. You can cancel at any time by emailing hello@thebeyondcomic.co.uk. Your subscription ends at the end of the period you’ve paid for, and you’ll receive your copies until then. We don’t refund part-periods, unless we’ve failed to deliver what you paid for. As schools subscribe as organisations rather than individual consumers, the 14-day consumer cancellation period doesn’t apply.
Missed payments. If a renewal payment fails, Stripe will retry it. We may pause deliveries until it’s paid.
Changes to the Service
We reserve the right to make changes to the website, subscription plans or the comic itself where necessary. Any significant changes to the service will be communicated to subscribers where possible.
Intellectual Property
All content on this website and within The Beyond comic, including artwork, stories, characters and branding, is the property of The Beyond and may not be reproduced or distributed without permission.
Limitation of Liability
We aim to keep the website running smoothly and the service operating reliably, however we cannot guarantee that the website will always be available or free from technical issues.
