In the event that we must future start the print component of your subscription plan because we are out of inventory on an issue, your digital content entitlements will be synched with the expire issue of the print component with your subscription. Example: Your purchase a 12-issue print/digital subscription plan.Your digital entitlements start with the January 2014 issue. We are unable to start the print component of your subscription until the February 2014 issue.
