Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

The service

Next Message delivers serialized fiction to your phone as text messages. Each story is a one-time purchase. Each story is delivered over the number of days shown on its page, a few messages a day. It starts the day you add your number if that’s before its first text of the day, otherwise the next day. The service is available to US phone numbers only.

Payment

Payment is processed securely by Stripe. By completing a purchase, you authorize a one-time charge. There are no subscriptions or recurring charges unless you make additional purchases.

Refund policy

Because story delivery begins the morning after purchase, we are unable to offer refunds once delivery has started. If you experience a technical issue that prevents you from receiving messages, contact us at hello@nextmessage.club and we will make it right.

Content

Next Message stories are original fiction. All content is owned by Next Message Club and protected by copyright. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or resell the content.

Acceptable use

You agree to provide a valid US phone number that you own. You may not use the service to deliver messages to numbers you do not own or control. We reserve the right to cancel deliveries and issue refunds at our discretion.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Questions? Email hello@nextmessage.club.
