In 2003, we acquired the leading online subscription service for free business magazines.

Magazines.com has also appeared on the TODAY show as one of the best gift ideas for Christmas, birthdays and other occasions. Visit our gift center.
We have a direct relationship with every magazine that we offer. This ensures you of prompt, reliable service and great prices. We offer the lowest authorized price on each magazine. From time to time, you will see lower prices on other Internet sites. We want to warn you that these are unauthorized offers from unauthorized sites. We urge you to use caution when doing business with these sites. Our advice is to call them first and make sure that they have live customer support in case you experience a problem with your order or your credit card transaction. At Magazines.com, a live, friendly customer care representative is always a free phone call away at 1-800-MAGAZINES. Visit our customer care center for more information on our customer care and our hours of operation.

Cookies
Although we use cookies for web site optimization reasons, we do not use cookies to collect any personal information (cookies are small files downloaded to your computer to record movements within web sites).
Tracking
We do use tracking software to observe user traffic patterns throughout our site. But we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Tracking information is used only to determine which areas of our site users like and don't like, and how well each page performs on behalf of our guests. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We also monitor search terms and titles entered at our site as a means of knowing what interests our customers. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
Security
When you place orders, we provide the use of a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you enter before it is sent to us. And all customer data we receive is protected against unauthorized access. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Fair Credit Billing Act
We guarantee that every online transaction you make will be 100% safe. This means you pay nothing if unauthorized charges are made to your card as a result of shopping at our online store. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your bank does hold you liable for any of this $50.00, we will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full $50.00. We will only cover this liability if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made while using the secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.
