("AllMerchants") are provided to you ("you"or "Applicant") under the terms and conditions of this Service Agreement (the "Agreement").

Basic Listing Review Service

Service Description
The Basic Listing Service guarantees a member of the AllMerchants staff will review a single site listing for consideration of inclusion in the Directory within five business days (excluding observed holidays and any delays due to problems processing your request), by either accepting or rejecting the site listing.

Site Review
All site listings must be reviewed and subsequently approved by an AllMerchants staff member in order to be included in the AllMerchants directory located at www.allmerchants.com (the "Directory").

Submission Guidelines
All site listings must meet the minimum criteria as set forth in the Submission Guidelines. The Submission Guidelines criteria are minimum requirements only. AllMerchants, in its sole descretion, may consider additional criteria in the review process.

Review Fee
You acknowledge that the payment of the Basic Listing Service fee (the "Review Fee") is for review of your site and does not in any way guarantee that your site will be included in the Directory. You agree that your credit card will be charged the Review Fee listed on the form. You agree the Review Fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. You agree to pay to AllMerchants such fee whether or not your site is accepted or rejected for inclusion in the Directory.

Notification
All approval or rejection responses will be sent to the email address provided on the Basic Listing Submission form. It is the Applicant's responsibility to provide an accurate email address and to ensure that AllMerchants is notified of any changes to Applicant's email address.

Approval
If your site listing is approved for inclusion in the Directory, the approval period will start the same day the email notification is sent. The approval period will expire after a period of one year. Your site listing's approval will remain subject to the continued terms and conditions of this Agreement and Submission Guidelines thoughout the duration of the one year approval period.

Rejection
Inclusion in the Directory is not guaranteed. If your site is not approved, you will receive an explanation of the reason for rejection via email.

Reconsideration
If, within thirty days of your approval or rejection, you wish to request changes to your approved listing or you have since corrected the objections of your rejected listing, you may resubmit your listing for reconsideration one time. Any request beyond your first reconsideration request or beyond thirty days of your initial request will require that you again submit your site listing for review using the Basic Listing Service along with payment of an additional Review Fee.

Renewal
Your web site's continued inclusion in the Directory after expiration, if so desired, will require that you again submit your site listing for review using the Basic Listing Site Review Service along with payment of an additional Review Fee. Your listing may be renewed up to 30 days in advance of expiration. Expiration reminders will be sent via email to assist. If you renew within the last 30 day period, the effective start date, if renewal is approved, will be set to the day immediately following your current approval period. Renewal, if approved, at any other time will result in a new approval period starting when email notification of approval is sent.

Featured Listing Service

Requirements
Use of the Featured Listing Service requires an approved and active Basic Listing.

Service Description
The Featured Listing Service guarantees your site listing will be displayed in the "Featured Listings" section above the "Basic Listings" section on the directory listing page that corresponds to the category of your site listing for an initial period of three months.

Featured Fee
The per month fee (the "Featured Fee") for featuring a site listing varies for each category. The Featured Fee is calculated based on anticipated performance. You acknowledge that the payment of the Featured Fee is solely for the additional placement of your approved site listing in the "Featured Listings" section. In order to purchase a Featured Listing, you are required to submit and maintain an active credit card on file with AllMerchants. You are responsible to ensure your credit card information on file remain accurate and valid. You agree that your credit card will be charged the amount of the Featured Fee listed on the Featured Listing Submission form on a monthly basis. You agree, once charged to your credit card, the monthly Featured Fee is NON-REFUNDABLE.

Basic Listing Extension
Each month that your site listing is Featured will extend the approval period of your Basic Listing by one month without any additional charges. In effect, featured months do not count against your basic listing one year approval period.

Renewal
For your convenience, after the initial three month period, your Featured Listing will automatically renew every month for a one month period unless otherwise cancelled as described below. The monthly price is guaranteed not to go up for a period of 12 months from the time of submission. Any reduction in Featured Listing prices will be honored starting with your next monthly payment. AllMerchants reserves the right to adjust the monthly price after every 12 months of consecutive payments by providing 45 day notice of such a change. If you do not accept the new pricing, you are free to Cancel your Featured Listing as described below.
