These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you (“you,” “your,” or “User”) and Dieline Media, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Dieline Media,” “DIELINE,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy at thedieline.com/privacy (incorporated by reference), govern your access to and use of the Services described below.
By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, subscribing to any newsletter or paid product, or entering the DIELINE Awards, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” and “your” refer to that entity.
PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 17 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER) CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL PROCEEDINGS AND LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE WITH DIELINE.

2. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will post the updated Terms with a new “Effective Date” and, where appropriate, provide notice by email to registered Users and subscribers, or through a notice on the Services. Material changes will take effect no fewer than thirty (30) days after notice. Your continued use of the Services after the Effective Date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services and may cancel any subscription prior to the Effective Date.

4. Newsletter Subscriptions
DIELINE publishes newsletters including but not limited to Side Salad, Shelf Life, feature articles, and Awards-related communications, delivered at newsletter.thedieline.com via Substack Inc.’s platform.
Free Subscriptions.
Newsletter subscriptions are currently provided free of charge. By subscribing, you consent to receive editorial emails from DIELINE related to the publications to which you subscribe.
Substack Platform.
Newsletter delivery is provided through Substack Inc. (“Substack”). While DIELINE owns and controls editorial content and the subscriber relationship, Substack’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (available at substack.com/tos and substack.com/privacy) also apply to your use of the newsletter platform. In the event of a conflict between DIELINE’s Terms and Substack’s Terms, DIELINE’s Terms govern with respect to DIELINE Content and the subscriber relationship; Substack’s Terms govern with respect to platform mechanics, payments processed through Substack, and the platform itself.
Unsubscribing.
You may unsubscribe from any newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email, by adjusting your subscription preferences on Substack, or by contacting us at andrew@thedieline.com.
Marketing Communications.
Newsletter subscription does not automatically subscribe you to separate marketing communications such as DIELINE Awards entry deadline reminders, sponsorship outreach, or transactional emails sent through different channels. Separate consent is required for those communications and may be obtained through the DIELINE Awards entry process or specific opt-in CTAs.
5. DIELINE PRO Subscriptions
Subscription Tiers.
DIELINE PRO is a paid subscription product offered at the following tiers (subject to change with notice):
• Pro Solo: $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year (individual subscribers)

We reserve the right to modify, add, or remove subscription features at our reasonable discretion, with material changes communicated to subscribers in advance.
Billing and Auto-Renewal.
Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annual) until canceled. By subscribing, you authorize Dieline Media (and our payment processor, Stripe, Inc.) to charge your designated payment method on a recurring basis at the applicable rate. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate unless canceled prior to renewal. We do not directly store full payment card details; payment information is processed and stored by Stripe under its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Cancellation.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings at thedieline.com or by contacting us at andrew@thedieline.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will continue to have access to paid features through the end of that period.
Refunds.
Except as required by applicable law, all subscription fees are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for partially used billing periods, unused subscription time, or downgrades.
EU Right of Withdrawal.
If you are a consumer located in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, you have the right to withdraw from a paid subscription within fourteen (14) days of initial purchase without giving reasons. To exercise this right, contact us at andrew@thedieline.com with a clear statement of withdrawal. By beginning to use paid features during the withdrawal period, you acknowledge that the right of withdrawal may be limited or lost as permitted by applicable consumer law.
Price Changes.
We may change subscription pricing. Any price increase will take effect at the next billing renewal following notice to you of at least thirty (30) days, and you may cancel before the new price takes effect if you do not agree.
Taxes.
Subscription fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes imposed by applicable law on your subscription.
6. DIELINE Awards
The DIELINE Awards is our annual packaging design competition. Entry into the DIELINE Awards is governed by separate Competition Rules and Entry Terms published at dielineawards.com, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms (collectively, the “Awards Rules”). The Awards Rules govern:
• Entry fees, deadlines, and pricing

• Judging criteria, processes, and DIELINE’s sole discretion regarding selection of winners and honorees
• Use of winners’ names, work, and likenesses in DIELINE editorial, marketing, and promotional materials
• Trophy purchases, certificates, and awards-related merchandise
• Sponsor recognition and partner integrations
Entry fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in the Awards Rules. Disqualified entries are not entitled to refunds. Decisions regarding winners, finalists, and honorees are made at DIELINE’s sole discretion and are final.
Where the Awards Rules conflict with these Terms with respect to the Awards, the Awards Rules govern.
