Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to place an order. By ordering, you represent that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

2. Orders and Acceptance

All orders placed through the Site are offers to purchase and are subject to our acceptance. We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or cancel any order at our discretion — including for suspected fraud, pricing errors, unavailable stock, or shipping restrictions. If we cancel an order after payment, we will issue a full refund.

Product descriptions, images, and specifications are provided in good faith but may contain errors or omissions. Colors may appear slightly different on-screen than in person.

3. Pricing, Currency, and Taxes

Prices are displayed in the currency indicated at checkout (typically USD or CAD) and may vary by region. Prices do not include applicable taxes, duties, or shipping charges, which are added at checkout or collected by the carrier on delivery. We may change prices at any time, but changes do not affect orders already accepted.

If a product is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical, technical, or supplier error, we may cancel or refuse the order and refund any amount charged.

4. Payment

Payment is processed by Shopify and its payment partners on their hosted checkout pages. You authorize us (through those processors) to charge the full order amount, including taxes and shipping, to your selected payment method. We do not store full payment card numbers.

5. Shipping and Delivery

We ship worldwide where legally permitted. Shipping times and costs depend on destination and method; estimates shown at checkout are not guarantees. Risk of loss and title to physical goods pass to you when the carrier takes possession.

You are responsible for any import duties, taxes, or customs fees charged by your country on delivery. Orders returned to us as undeliverable may be refunded less shipping costs.

6. Subscriptions and Auto-Renewal

Magazine subscriptions are sold as multi-issue terms (for example, one or two years). Unless the subscription is sold as a fixed, non-renewing term, subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each term at the then-current rate, using the payment method on file, until you cancel.

You may cancel renewal at any time before the next renewal date by emailing subscriptions@adbusters.org or calling 1.800.663.1243. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not refund the current term, which continues until the remaining issues have shipped or been delivered.

Digital subscriptions deliver each issue as a PDF by email. Access to previously delivered issues is yours to keep.

7. Returns, Refunds, and Replacements

Physical goods (magazines, books, tees, flags, posters) may be returned in new, unused condition within 30 days of delivery for a refund of the product price. You are responsible for return shipping unless the item arrived damaged or was shipped in error. Contact info@adbusters.org before returning anything so we can give you return instructions.

Damaged or missing items. If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incomplete, email us within 14 days of delivery with photos and your order number and we will replace the item or refund you.

Digital products and issues already shipped are non-refundable. A subscription cancelled mid-term is not refunded for remaining issues; those issues continue to ship or deliver as scheduled.

Donations are final and non-refundable except where required by law. Contact us promptly if a donation was made in error.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including the Adbusters name, the Blackspot logo, the Corporate America Flag, magazine covers, articles, illustrations, photography, and site design — is owned by Adbusters Media Foundation or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

You may view and share Site content for personal, non-commercial, and educational use with attribution. Large-scale reproduction, commercial use, or use in a way that suggests endorsement requires prior written permission. Adbusters has a long tradition of supporting culture-jamming and detournement of commercial imagery; we ask that you extend the same courtesy to our work.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site to commit fraud, launder payments, or circumvent regional pricing or promotions.
• Interfere with, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its infrastructure, or other users.
• Scrape, mirror, or republish Site content at scale without permission.
• Use the Site in violation of any applicable law or these Terms.

We may suspend or refuse service to any user who breaches these rules.

10. Third-Party Services

The Site relies on third parties (including Shopify for commerce and checkout, Sentry for error reporting, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics) as described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of those services through the Site is also subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third parties.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

Except where prohibited by law, the Site and all products are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Site.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law, and you may have additional rights.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Adbusters Media Foundation, its directors, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site or any product purchased through it.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site or a product is limited to the amount you paid us for the product giving rise to the claim in the twelve months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including, in some jurisdictions, liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or gross negligence).

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adbusters Media Foundation and its people from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the applicable laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located in Vancouver, British Columbia will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or the Site, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer, nothing in this section removes the mandatory protections of the consumer-protection law of your place of residence.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updates take effect when posted with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes affecting your existing subscription will be communicated by email. Your continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order-specific terms shown at checkout, are the entire agreement between you and Adbusters regarding the Site. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor.
