With all our subscriptions, you can opt to skip a month/theme if it doesn't interest you. Skips do not cancel your subscription or remove you as a subscriber. Your renewal is pushed forward to the next subscription month per skip.
We are transitioning to a new Skip Limit Policy in January 2026.
Skip Limit Policy Starting on 1st January 2026
From 1st January 2026, our Skip Limit Policy is as follows:
Subscription | Skip Quota per Calendar Year | Example |
Monthly: Illumicrate Afterlight | 6 | Your first skip is your January theme. You now have 5 skips remaining until the end of December. Your skip quota resets at the start of the following January. |
Prepaid 3- or 6-months: Illumicrate Afterlight | ||
Monthly: Illumicrate + Afterlight Book Combo | 6 Combo skips | Your first skip is for your January Combo themes. You now have 5 Combo skips remaining until the end of December. Your skip quota resets at the start of the following January. Please Note: Skips apply to both books for that month. You will not be able to skip Illumicrate's book but keep Afterlight's, or vice versa. |
Quarterly: Evernight Starbright | 2 | Your first skip is your February theme. You now have 1 skip remaining until the end of December. Your skip quota resets at the start of the following January. |
Please Note: Our Skip Limit Policy operates on a calendar year basis (1st January - 31st December), not on a rolling year basis. Your skip quota will always reset on 1st January, regardless of the number of skips remaining in the previous year.
Skip Limit Warnings and Subscription Cancellations
You will receive an email notification when you have one skip left in a calendar year.
Exceeding the Skip Limit Policy for any subscription in any calendar year means that your subscription is at risk of being cancelled with no additional warning.
Skip Limit Policy Ending on 31st December 2025
- Skips do not cancel your subscription or remove you as a subscriber. Your renewal is pushed forward to the next subscription month per skip.
- While we do not have a skip limit, if a subscriber has not received their subscription in 10 consecutive months or more, we do reserve the right to cancel the subscription. Please be aware that we do not send a warning before cancelling.
- The "skip count" resets every time a box/book is successfully renewed and received. For example, if you have skipped May, June, July, August, and September of your subscription, then you have skipped five consecutive months. If you then choose to receive the October theme, your skip count returns to zero. If you then skip November, your skip count begins again, with one month skipped.
Remember!
- To keep your account running smoothly, please action or request any skips before the 1st of the month you wish to skip. Any skip made on/after the 1st of the month will process a skip for the next month.
- For example, if you wanted to skip January, please skip before the 1st of January.
- Skips do not cancel your subscription or remove you as a subscriber.
- If you would like to process a late skip request please contact Support.
