Summary

- Your subscription renews automatically every month until you cancel.
- You can cancel online at any time in My Account > Subscriptions. You keep access until the end of the month you paid for.

Agreement
These Subscription Terms add to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Sports Gold Guard LLC (“SGG”, “we”, “us”), a Texas limited liability company, provides SGG Premium. By subscribing, you agree to these terms.
What SGG Premium includes
SGG Premium gives one person access to premium articles on sportsgoldguard.com, the members-only SGG Brief Pro weekly briefing and its archive, and ad-free reading while signed in. SGG Premium does not include FansPulse plans. We may add, change or remove features, and we will tell you before a change that reduces what you pay for.
Billing and automatic renewal
When you subscribe, you authorize us and our payment processor, Stripe, to charge your payment method $97 right away and again every month on the same date until you cancel. Before you pay, the checkout page shows the price, the renewal frequency and how to cancel, and you must tick a box to agree to automatic renewal. Your confirmation email repeats these terms and the cancellation link.
If a renewal charge fails, we may retry it and may pause your access until payment succeeds. If we cannot collect payment, your subscription ends.
Payment processing by Stripe
Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (“Stripe”) process all SGG Premium payments. When you pay, you give your card details directly to Stripe through a secure form on our checkout page; they never pass through or rest on our servers. Stripe stores your card so it can charge your monthly renewals, and it is certified to the PCI DSS Level 1 security standard. We receive only your card brand, the last four digits, the expiry date and the result of each charge.
Stripe uses your payment information to process charges, prevent fraud and meet its legal duties, as described in the Stripe Privacy Policy. Stripe may decline or flag a payment it considers risky. Stripe may offer to save your details with Link, its own checkout service; Link is a separate service between you and Stripe under Stripe’s Link terms. You can remove a saved card at any time under My Account > Payment methods, though an active subscription needs a valid card to renew.
How to cancel
Sign in, open My Account > Subscriptions and select Cancel. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing month, and we will not charge you again. You can also cancel by emailing [email protected] from the email address on your account; we will confirm by email.
Refund policy
All SGG Premium payments, including the first payment and every monthly renewal, are final and non-refundable. We do not give credit for partial months or unused time. We give a refund in only two cases:
- We cannot provide your subscription. If we cannot give you the premium access you paid for, for example because we discontinue SGG Premium or a lasting technical failure on our side blocks your access, we refund the affected payment, or the unused part of it.
- Same-day written request. If you email [email protected] asking for a refund on the same calendar day you were charged (US Central Time), we refund that charge in full and end your subscription. Include the email address on your account and your order number. The email is the written record of your request; we cannot accept same-day requests by phone, text or social media.
Approved refunds go back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually within 5 to 10 business days depending on your bank. Cancelling stops future charges but does not refund past ones. Nothing in this policy limits a right to a refund that applicable law gives you and that a contract cannot waive.
Price changes
We may change the price of SGG Premium. We will email you at least 30 days before a new price applies to your subscription. If you do not want to pay the new price, cancel before it takes effect.
Your account
Your membership is for your personal use. Do not share your sign-in or redistribute premium content. We may suspend or end memberships that break these terms or our Terms of Use, and if we end your membership without cause we will refund the unused part of your current month.
Calls, texts and email
To subscribe, you agree that Sports Gold Guard may contact you by email, phone call and text message (SMS) at the email address and phone number you give us about your account, your orders, renewals and billing. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop texts at any time. Marketing calls and texts are separate: we send them only if you tick the optional marketing box, and agreeing to them is never a condition of buying. Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy explain these messages in full.
Taxes
Prices do not include taxes unless we say so. We will add any sales or use tax that applies to your location.
