Refunds and Right of Withdrawal

This page explains the difference between cancelling your monthly subscription, requesting a refund, and exercising your statutory right of withdrawal.

Statutory right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from your Dose of Perspective subscription within 14 days without giving a reason.

For a subscription involving regular deliveries of physical goods, the withdrawal period is 14 days from the day on which you, or a third party nominated by you who is not the carrier, receives the first letter.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must clearly inform us of your decision to withdraw from the contract:

Purple Ideas GmbH
Brehmstraße 3
40239 Düsseldorf
Germany

Email: jen[at]doseofperspective.com

You may contact us by email or post, or use the online withdrawal function below.

Button: Withdraw from my subscription

You do not have to use the model withdrawal form provided further down this page.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient to send your withdrawal request before the 14-day period expires.

Using the online withdrawal function

After selecting Withdraw from my subscription, you will be asked to provide or confirm:

  • Your name

  • Information that allows us to identify your subscription

  • The email address to which your withdrawal confirmation should be sent

You will then be able to submit your request using the Confirm withdrawal button.

After submitting your withdrawal, you will receive confirmation electronically without undue delay. This confirmation will include the content of your request and the date and time it was received.

What happens when you withdraw?

If you validly withdraw from your subscription, we will:

  • End your subscription

  • Stop future subscription payments

  • Refund all payments received from you under the withdrawn subscription

We will issue the refund without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receiving your withdrawal request.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, we will use the same payment method that you used for the original transaction. You will not incur fees as a result of the refund.

We do not require you to return any Dose of Perspective letter that you received before exercising your right of withdrawal.

Cancelling future payments

Your statutory right of withdrawal is different from cancelling your subscription.

Once the 14-day withdrawal period has ended, you can still cancel your subscription at any time before your next payment is processed. Your renewal date is normally the same calendar date on which you originally joined and can be viewed in Stripe’s secure customer portal.

Cancellation prevents future payments, but it does not reverse a payment that has already been processed. If you cancel after paying for an edition, you will still receive that edition according to our regular dispatch schedule.

For more information, please read our Cancellation Policy.

Other refund requests

After the statutory withdrawal period has ended, payments are not refunded solely because a subscription is subsequently cancelled.

This does not affect your statutory rights if a letter is defective, seriously damaged, not delivered, or if a payment was collected incorrectly.

Missing or damaged letters

If your letter appears to have been lost in transit or arrives seriously damaged, contact jen[at]doseofperspective.com.

Please refer to our Shipping Policy for estimated delivery times, reporting periods, and information about replacements.

Incorrect or duplicate charges

If you believe you have been charged incorrectly or more than once, email jen[at]doseofperspective.com.

Please include the name and email address connected to your subscription, the date of the charge, and the amount charged so we can investigate.
