staff member in order to be included in the AllMerchants directory located
at www.allmerchants.com (the "Directory").

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.

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.
