How to Use This Site?
Activation of the FREE package is instant.
Payment for the FEATURED packages is taken using the completely safe and secure Paypal Subscription system.
Activation of FEATURED packages - user stays registered as a Subscriber until payment is being processed by Paypal. When Paypal sends the notification about correctly processed payment the user role will be automatically changed from Subscriber to Featured or Featured Plus.
For being able to log in, you need to wait for an email with a password to arrive to your email account. This may take from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours - it depends on your email service provider.
You can upgrade your FREE package to any FEATURED package, and any FEATURED package to another FEATURED package at any time by upgrading your package.
FEATURED packages expire after 365 days. An automated email will be sent 5 days before account expiry. Expired accounts have Subscriber right to access only to their profile, listings will be switched to the draft mode, and will not be visible on the website. If you want to keep your listing(s) active, you have to sign into your account and renew account info and subscription right before or after expiry. If an expired account has not been renewed within 1 month after expiration, admin will delete all the account data.
FREE package has no expiration date, though, admin will check twice a year if the websites are still active. When a website is not active any more, the whole listing, or/and account will be deleted.
All LISTINGS need approval by admin before going live.
We have a 'no refund' policy for active packages and already approved listings. If you cancel your FEATURED package, it will stay active until the end of the period for which you have paid for. You're still covered by 14 day Money Back Guarantee, please read Terms and Conditions
