Last updated: June 28, 2026

Welcome to MarcoToday.

MarcoToday is built around open, thoughtful conversation. By accessing or using the platform, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the platform.

1. Subscriptions & Payments

Membership tiers

MarcoToday currently offers three membership levels:

  • Start (free)

Billing

Subscriptions and donations are processed securely through Stripe and NOWpayments.

By purchasing a paid subscription, you agree to the recurring billing cycle associated with your selected membership tier.

Cancellations

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your member portal provided by Memberstack.

Cancellation prevents future billing and does not retroactively refund previous payments unless required by applicable law.

Cryptocurrency payments made through NOWpayments are irreversible and non-refundable.

Right of withdrawal (EU)

By purchasing immediate access to digital content, you expressly consent to the immediate performance of the service and acknowledge that you thereby lose your statutory 14-day right of withdrawal under applicable EU consumer law.
