5.5. Featured Business Listing including Featured Business Profiles

5.5.1 Featured Listing Overview. A.D.N. provides Featured Business Listings including Featured Profiles and Featured Events allow members of our networks to purchase additional exposure for profiles and to provide additional options for promoting specific business initiatives. The Featured Listings are displayed above standard listings in search results located on the site (adn1.com, connectus.net, digital50.com, prsafe.com) and featured listings for each site are separate and apart from other sites (i.e. a featured listing purchased on PRSafe will not display as a featured listing on DiGiTAL50 or ADN1.

5.5.2. Display Time. The featured listings display in a rotating featured area. The rotation and number of impressions or times each individual listing will display is governed by the number of listing with criteria matching the search request. Each featured listing displays an equal number of times based on key words. If, for example, there are 10 different profiles with the keyword “sprocket” each featured listing will display once for every 10 searches conducted using that key word. The total number of impressions for a featured listing is dictated by the key words used and is limited only to the restrictions on key word usage and the general terms of this agreement, specifically section 5.4.7. All content published in a featured listing must comply with the terms of this Agreement and our policies and procedures for the use of PRSafe content.

5.5.3. Requirement of Existing Account. Any purchaser of a featured listing must first create a PRSafe Account and then upgrade or purchase a featured listing from the Account User Administration Tools provide with every user account. User has the option of either turning the featured listing on or off through the account area or sending a request to deactivate a featured listing.

5.5.4. Featured Listings are Paid Services, unless bundled as part of a package, and therefore are subject to account requirements for keeping your account in good standing. Featured listings, including featured profiles and featured events, are billed monthly at $24.95 or annually at $249.40 or other amount as specified by price changes or promotions posted on the A.D.N. Web Sites. The featured listing pricing is subject to change without notice and changes will be posted to the A.D.N. Web Sites at least 60 days prior to any increase. In the event of early termination, purchasers of the annual plan will be issued a credit based on the monthly advertised rate at the time of the cancellation. So, for example, if a featured listing is purchased in January, paid for with an annual payment and cancelled in June, the purchaser will be charged the monthly rate at the time of cancellation multiplied by the number of active months, e.g. 6, at the standard monthly service rate and the remaining amount refunded to the purchaser within 30 days of the cancellation.

5.5.5. Renewal; listing are ongoing and, unless cancelled, will continue. Monthly accounts will continue on the billing basis chosen in the account management area. Users can select monthly or annual and, at any time, alternate between the two, however changes in the billing terms may result in higher per month charges or additional fees. If a customer is billed via invoice, we will notify customer no less than 15 days before the renewal to alert the customer of the renewal and make them aware of the additional charges. In the event that we do not hear from a user prior to a renewal, an invoice will be issued for the renewal amount respective of the monthly or annual billing option. If an account renews and a user decides they do not want their account and it is within 15 days from the renewal date, the user will not be charged for the renewal and the account can be closed without additional expense.

In the event of a credit card charge, the same rules apply. If a credit card is charged for a renewal and the user contacts us to request cancellation within 15 days from the renewal, a complete credit will be issued to the Account Holders Credit Account. If an account renews, the active credit card number on file is declined or is disputed, and we are unable to contact the user to obtain current credit card information, we will need to follow termination guidelines as set for in the termination section of this Agreement.

5.5.7. Signup. You acknowledge and agree that by purchasing a featured listing either through an invitation response, direct site sign-up or other means, you are bound by the terms of this Agreement.

5.5.8. Contracts; we don’t currently require contracts, other than this Agreement, for the purchase of a featured listing and a formal insertion order is not required. We may, in some cases, require verbal or some additional acknowledgement of some of the specific terms of this agreement prior to purchase of a featured listing or other product or service offered through A.D.N.
