FREE OFFER!!! Know the “Terms and Conditions” and Avoid Surprises

Lately, you may have noticed an overwhelming number of offers that are “FREE” or “RISK FREE TRIALS”. These typically promise attractive discounts or something for free if you just pay for shipping. While everyone loves to save money, it is very important to read the full Terms and Conditions associated with any free trial or free offer, especially if you are using a debit or credit card to pay.

By reading the “Terms and Conditions” you may find that you are signing up for a recurring subscription or membership unless you cancel service within a specified time. Consumers who overlook these stipulations can receive an unpleasant surprise when new charges appear on their statements. To protect yourself be sure to always read terms and conditions on websites and order forms before making a purchase or agreeing to an offer.
