退款政策 / Refund Policy
最后更新 / Last updated · 2026年4月30日
第三岸（thethirdshore.com，下称「本刊」）出售的是一次性付款的永久会员资格。本政策说明退款条件，请在购买前认真阅读并保留确认。
不予退款
所有会员费用一经支付即视为最终交易，不予退款。 因为会员资格授予的是对数字内容（往期文章档案）的访问权限，且这一权限自付款完成时立即生效。
停刊与访问权限终止
本刊保留随时停止出版的权利，由编辑独立决定。 若本刊停止出版，会员的档案访问权限随之终止。停刊后不会按比例退还未履行期间的费用。 请在购买前充分理解此条款。
例外情况
如下情形我们会个案审查，由编辑酌情决定：
- 由于本刊技术故障导致你在购买后从未能够访问任何会员内容；
- 系统重复扣款；
- 未经你本人授权而被他人盗用账号付款（需提供合理证明）。
以上情形请在付款后 14 天内邮件联系 support@thethirdshore.com。
支付争议
我们鼓励读者在发起信用卡争议（chargeback）之前先与我们联系。直接发起争议会让我们承担额外费用且不能加快任何退款。
政策变更
我们可能更新本退款政策。任何变更不会追溯影响已经发生的交易；新政策仅适用于其生效后发生的购买。
The Third Shore (thethirdshore.com, hereafter “the journal”) sells a one-time, lifetime membership. This policy explains the terms; please read it carefully and keep your confirmation before completing your purchase.
No refunds
All membership purchases are final and non-refundable. The membership grants access to digital content (the journal’s archive of past issues), and that access takes effect immediately upon payment.
Cessation of publication and access
The journal reserves the right to cease publication at any time, at the sole discretion of the editor. If the journal ceases publication, members’ archive access ends with it. No prorated refunds will be issued for the unfulfilled portion of any membership. Please understand this fully before purchasing.
Exceptions
The following situations may be reviewed case-by-case at the editor’s discretion:
- A technical fault on our side has prevented you from accessing any member content at all since your purchase;
- A duplicate charge from a billing error;
- An unauthorized purchase made by a third party using your account without your consent (with reasonable evidence).
For any of the above, please email support@thethirdshore.com within 14 days of the payment.
Payment disputes
We encourage readers to contact us before initiating a credit-card chargeback. A chargeback creates additional costs for us and does not speed up any refund.
Changes to this policy
We may revise this refund policy. Any changes will not retroactively affect transactions that have already occurred; the new policy applies only to purchases made after it takes effect.
