Clear terms for local news.

Publisher: Winnebago County News, operated by Daniel Herro. Contact winnebagocountynews@gmail.com for subscriptions, refunds, corrections and account help.

Price and renewal

Monthly: $4.99 USD every month. Annual: $39.99 USD every year. Approving a plan in PayPal starts a recurring subscription at that price, with no trial or setup fee. Your plan renews until you cancel. Any change to your billing agreement requires the applicable notice and consent. Checkout shows the amount before approval.

Your subscription

Sign in with the same ChatGPT account to use your subscription on different devices. Subscriber access is personal and depends on verified payment. Headlines, current civic guides and public event listings remain free. Subscriber reporting is included as published. No fixed number of articles or events is guaranteed.

Cancellation

Use Account → Cancel future renewals, or cancel the automatic payment in your PayPal account. Cancellation is confirmed only when PayPal reports it canceled. Keep your confirmation. Paid access normally continues through the verified paid-through date. Cancellation does not automatically refund a completed payment. If cancellation cannot be confirmed on this site, retry or use PayPal directly.

Refunds and payment issues

Email billing support with your account email and payment reference, never a password or card details. Refund requests are reviewed individually. Refunds, reversals, unpaid balances or disputes may suspend access while reviewed. This does not limit rights available under applicable law or PayPal's processes. A refund alone does not cancel recurring billing.

Availability and editorial standards

Coverage and features can change. We attribute source material and identify AI-assisted reporting. Event details can change, so verify with the organizer before attending. Contact us to report an error or an account issue.

Subscriptions are for digital access. Billing support and refund requests: winnebagocountynews@gmail.com.
