You're not locked in for 12 months, you can cancel at any point throughout your membership. If you decide not to keep it, then you won't be charged as long as you cancel any time before your third free month ends. You can do this via your account at the Readly website*.

If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.

Is it worth it?

Skint? Ask:

Do I need it?

Can I afford it?

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
