Print Patron Membership Terms and Conditions:
What are these terms and conditions?
These are the terms and conditions which apply to Print Patrons and form an agreement between you and us.
By signing up to become a Print Patron, you accept these terms and conditions. You should read them carefully before signing up to become a Print Patron. We recommend you save a copy of them for your future reference.
1. What is Print Patrons?
Print Patron is a program which provides an opportunity for supporters of edible Maritimes and edible Newfoundland & Labrador to become patrons and thereby help us in our mission to share local, Atlantic Canadian stories in an accessible and compelling way and support our commitment to sharing these stories with editorial.
By becoming a Print Patron, you will receive certain benefits to the value of the cost of the Print Patrons membership you choose. You are encouraged, but not obliged, to give a further contribution that is not linked to the benefits you receive. This contribution will be used by us to support our editorial operations.

You can join as a Print Patron by visiting ediblemaritimes.com/patron-member and following the instructions or by calling us at 506-639-3117.
By signing up to become a Print Patron Member, you promise us that:
you are at least 18 years of age; all information and details you provide to us are true and accurate; and you will comply with these terms and conditions, and any additional terms or restrictions which apply to Print Patrons which are notified to you.
4. How much does Print Patron membership cost?
We offer three levels at the following costs:
Boreal Patron: $250 per year
Tidal Patron: $500 per year
Highland Patron: $750 per year
These fees do not include GST or HST. Depending on where you are purchasing from, GST and any applicable HST will be added at check-out.
Contributions are not charitable donations and, as far as we are aware, you are not entitled to any tax relief in respect of your contributions.
By becoming a Print Patron, you agree and acknowledge that:
Any fee provided by you to us is an irrevocable payment, subject to any exercise of your right to receive a refund as described below and our right to return any fees at our discretion; the fees will be used by us to support our editorial operations; and you will have no rights to influence the editorial policy or output of edible Maritimes and edible Newfoundland & Labrador.
5. Administration of Contributions
From the moment the fee is processed, we will be legally and beneficially entitled to the full amount of that fee and you will have no entitlement to the return of the fee in any circumstances other than as specified below.
6. How long does Print Patron Membership last? How can I cancel?
Your Print Patron membership will start when we confirm your annual payment and will continue for one year (unless terminated by you or us in accordance with these terms and conditions).
If you choose the one-off payment method when signing up, your Patron membership will not automatically renew and will terminate after one year.
If you choose the recurring payment method when signing up there is no need to renew your membership as it will automatically continue unless and until it is cancelled in accordance with the provisions of this section 6. We will continue to take payment by means of your credit or debit card (as applicable) on an annual basis.
If we change the price of membership we will inform you of this with at least 10 working days’ notice (or such other length of notice as is required by the Direct Debit guarantee from time to time) so that you can choose whether or not to cancel your payment. You will continue to be a Patron until you cancel your credit/debit card payments or your direct debit (as applicable). Your Print Patron membership will automatically renew.
You may cancel your Print Patron membership at any time during the year, and we will not continue to contact you or invite you to events. Unless you exercise your cooling off cancellation right (see below) or we have breached these terms and conditions, we do not provide refunds or credits for any Print Patron membership which has been cancelled prior to the end of the Print Patron membership period.
We reserve the right to refuse and return any contributions you have made in our absolute discretion, including without limitation where we believe that accepting your contribution would conflict with our mission, values or interests, and/or where, having regard to where the contribution originated or your intentions, we consider that to accept the contribution could damage our independence or reputation or adversely affect our relationship with other contributors or stakeholders.
7. Do I benefit from a cooling off right?
You can cancel your Print Patrons membership at any time within the 14 day period from the day we sent you an email confirming receipt of your membership fee.
You are entitled to receive a refund of any contribution you make as a Print Patron Member for up to 14 days after the date we sent you an email confirming receipt of your contribution.
To cancel your membership or request a refund of a contribution within this 14 day period, you can notify us by email at hello@steadiicreative.ca or call us 506-639-3117. You will not be able to request a refund of your membership fee received by us following expiry of the 14 day period.
We will repay any refused and/or returned membership fees into the account from which the membership and/or contribution was made.
Cancellation requests will be confirmed within 48 hours.
8. What benefits will I receive as a Print Patron?
For further details of what benefits you will receive, please see the patron-member page.
9. Will my contribution be recognized?
You are not entitled to publicize your contribution or otherwise market yourself or any connected person or business in connection with your contribution, except with our prior written consent and then only if you comply with any relevant policies, procedures or requirements which we shall notify to you.
10. Recurring payments
You agree to pay your selected amount on a rolling annual basis. Recurring amounts cannot be changed without cancellation. You must provide us with complete and accurate payment information at the time you agree to pay a recurring fee. Payment for your recurring fee can be made by credit or debit card.
Your payments will be taken on a rolling basis and your recurring fee will continue unless and until it is ended by either of us in accordance with the provisions of section 5 (Refunds and Cancellation of Fees).
11. How will you use my personal information?
Our privacy policy describes how any personal information you provide to us in connection with your Print Patron Membership will be used (which can be found by clicking here). We will use the information you have provided to us to process and manage your Print Patron Membership and for the purposes of contacting you with information relating to your Print Patron Membership. You consent to us sharing your personal information with third parties in order for us to be able to provide your Print Patron membership benefits, for example, payment processors, suppliers of patron benefits and event partners. We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes without your consent.
12. What are we liable to you for?
You have certain rights under the law, for example, that we provide the Print Patrons membership service to you with reasonable care and skill. Nothing in these terms and conditions will affect these rights. Nothing excludes or limits our liability for personal injury or death due to our negligence.
If we fail to comply with these terms and conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms and conditions or our negligence. However, we will not be responsible for: (a) losses not caused by our breach; (b) indirect losses which means loss to you which is a side effect of the main loss or damage and where you and we could not have reasonably anticipated that type of loss arising at the time of entering into these terms and conditions; (c) failure to meet any of our obligations where such failure is due to events beyond our control; or (d) any increase in loss or damage which results from breach by you of any of these terms and conditions or your negligence.
13. General
These terms and conditions are available in both English and French only. We will not file a copy of our agreement with you.
These terms and conditions are a contract between you and us. No other person shall have any right to enforce any of the terms.
Your Print Patrons Membership is personal to you. You may only transfer your rights or obligations under these terms and conditions to another person if we agree in writing.
Each section of these terms and conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides any provision is unlawful, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
We may revise these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in relevant laws or regulatory requirements.
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these terms and conditions, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
These terms and conditions are governed by Canadian law and you and we agree that the Canadian courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to these terms and conditions.
