ANSWER: If you decide we're not a good fit for you – which we doubt will be the case – you can cancel at any time during your 21-day review. Our 1-click cancel option makes it as easy as clicking a button.
During your free trial, you can cancel at any time with a single click on your "Account" page. It's that easy.
closeANSWER: Absolutely. If you're worried about forgetting when your 21 days are up – you can rest easy. We'll send you an email notification one week before your trial ends as a reminder.
ANSWER: After your 21-day review, if you don't cancel, your trial will convert to an INSIDER subscription and your credit card will be charged the annual INSIDER subscription fee of $247. To ensure uninterrupted access, we'll automatically renew your subscription and charge your card each year, unless you let us know you don't wish to renew. Don't worry – we'll send out reminders to you well in advance of your subscription renewal date to give you the opportunity to let us know if you won't be renewing.
Only you can be the judge of that. If you use just one single resource from INSIDER that saves you tens of thousands of dollars, all for an investment of $247, we think it would be worth it.
But we know what we have in terms of the usefulness of our content. We don't know how many ideas you'll get out of it, but we're pretty sure it's going to be more than one – a LOT more. So we think your investment is more than going to pay for itself many, many times over.
You can also see it in terms of risk mitigation. For example, how much is it worth to avoid a mistake by a member of your workforce that could lead injuries - or worse, death? Or to avoid an OSHA fine? We could go on and on, but you get the idea.
We also think it's a bargain because, well – it is! The value of our 15 Essential Insights alone is $435 when purchased individually. Add in our Safety Training Kits, Practical Tools, digital newsletter and other INSIDER features and the total value of our content if sold separately is close to $2,500. Plus, new INSIDER content is constantly being added.
Another thing to bear in mind is that much of our content is not available for purchase to the general public. The ONLY way you can get this exclusive, members-only content is by becoming an Safety News Alert INSIDER.
We encourage you to sign up for a 21-day risk-free trial and see for yourself all the value that we offer.
