Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception
A gift is a one-time annual web subscription that does not renew or come as a physical card
A gift subscription can be redeemed only for a one-time annual Strava web subscription. The gift does not automatically renew, and it is delivered digitally only: there is no physical card.
Supporting quotations
Gift subscriptions may be redeemed for a one-time annual Strava web subscription only.
Gift subscriptions do not automatically renew.
Gift subscriptions are digital only; there is no physical card.
Qualifications & exceptions
Redeemable for a web subscription only; the terms name no other Strava product or plan as a redemption option.
One-time and annual: the gift itself does not renew automatically, although a recipient who is already a web subscriber is treated differently when the gift extends an existing term (see the recipient card).
Not stated here
The terms do not say how the gift is delivered or how the redemption code or link is sent beyond being digital only.
Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception
A gift subscription has no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash or credit
A gift subscription is treated as a purchased subscription that has no cash value. It cannot be exchanged for cash or for credit.
Supporting quotations
Gift subscriptions are purchased subscriptions, have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash or credit.
Qualifications & exceptions
The restriction names cash and credit; it does not address refunds to the purchaser.
Not stated here
The terms do not say whether the purchaser can get a refund, or whether an unredeemed or void gift can be reissued; the Terms of Service they incorporate are not supplied here.
Charges & Financial Obligations · Restriction or exception
A gift must be redeemed within one year of purchase or it is void
The recipient must redeem the gift within one year of its purchase date. After that one-year period the gift subscription is void.
Supporting quotations
Gift subscriptions must be redeemed within one year of purchase, after which they are void.
Qualifications & exceptions
The one-year clock runs from purchase, not from when the recipient receives or opens the gift.
Not stated here
The terms do not say whether the purchaser or recipient is warned before a gift becomes void, or whether a void gift can be reinstated.
Charges & Financial Obligations · User right or choice
A recipient who already has a web subscription extends it by 12 months
If the recipient is already a web subscriber, they can redeem the gift at any time before the gift expires. Redeeming extends the existing subscription term by another 12 months. After that extended term, the account information on file is charged the then current subscription rate, but only if automatic renewal is elected. Redeeming the gift does not change the automatic renewal preference the subscriber chose earlier.
Supporting quotations
If a gift subscription recipient is already a web subscriber, they may redeem their gift anytime prior to gift expiration, and it will extend their existing subscription term by another 12 months, after which the subscriber’s account information on file will be charged the then current subscription rate if automatic renewal is elected.
Redeeming the gift does not change the previously elected automatic renewal preferences.
Qualifications & exceptions
Applies to a recipient who is already a web subscriber, not to one subscribed through the App Store or Google Play.
The charge to the account information on file follows the extended term and applies only if automatic renewal is elected; the rate is the then current subscription rate, not a rate fixed by the gift.
Redemption must still fall before the gift expires (within one year of purchase).
Not stated here
The terms do not state what happens at the end of the extended term if automatic renewal was not elected.
The terms do not state the then current rate or how the subscriber is notified before a charge.
Account & Service Control · Procedure
A recipient subscribed through the App Store or Google Play must cancel first and wait out the billing cycle
If the recipient's current subscription is through the App Store or Google Play, they must cancel that subscription and wait until the end of its billing cycle before redeeming the gift. This differs from a recipient who subscribes directly as a web subscriber, who can redeem at any time before the gift expires and have it extend the current term.
Supporting quotations
If a gift subscription recipient is subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, they must cancel their current subscription and wait for the end of the billing cycle to redeem their gift.
Qualifications & exceptions
Applies only to recipients subscribed through the App Store or Google Play.
Redemption is tied to the end of the billing cycle of the cancelled subscription; the one-year redemption deadline still applies.
Not stated here
The terms do not say how the recipient redeems after the billing cycle ends, or what happens if the billing cycle ends after the gift expires.
The terms do not say whether the app-store provider's own terms affect cancellation or billing.
Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): A recipient who already has a web subscription extends it by 12 months — contrast: A recipient already subscribed on the web can redeem at any time before the gift expires and extend the current term, while a recipient subscribed through the App Store or Google Play must cancel and wait for the billing cycle to end before redeeming.
