Service description
News in Simple is an English-learning platform built around real-world news, graded reading, vocabulary tools, and selected AI-assisted learning features. We may update, improve, or discontinue features at any time.
Subscriptions, billing, and auto-renewal
- Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis according to the billing cycle shown at checkout.
- Unless you cancel before renewal, your subscription renews automatically at the then-current recurring price shown for your plan.
- Any trial period, first charge date, recurring interval, and pricing details are displayed before you complete checkout.

Refunds
Except where required by law or expressly stated at checkout, subscription payments are generally non-refundable once the billing period has started. If you believe you were charged in error, contact support@newsinsimple.com.
