Isn't there something like, "Send no money now.  If, on receipt of your
first issue you are not COMPLETELY SATISFIED, return our invoice with the
word CANCEL written across it.  In any case, the trial issue is yours to
keep."

Well, "in any case", I wouldn't send them one thin dime until I had the
first issue in my hand.
