Our Terms and Conditions
Handling
of Complaints:
After a complaint is received we will contact
the member involved. The member will be given ten days to
contact the consumer and resolve the issue. Most
complaints are resolved through an offer of refund by the
member. If after ten days but before 21 days the consumer
contacts us stating the complaint remains unresolved and
there has been no offer of refund we will most likely add
the complaint to the member's listing. If the consumer
does not respond within 21 days the complaint is
withdrawn and does not affect the member. Members agree
to give refunds as directed by the Internet Trade Bureau
as a resolution to most complaints. Complaints can be
withdrawn at any time by the Internet Trade Bureau or the
complainant. Members and complainants understand that any
correspondence, conversations etc may be used in the
complaint process. The Internet Trade Bureau reserves the
right to post edited or non-edited copies communications
that we send or receive on our website.
Unreasonable
Complaints:
All unresolved complaints are investigated. The
Internet Trade Bureau reserves the right to remove any
complaints determined to be "unreasonable" by
our staff. This determination will be made after both
parties are heard and the circumstances are considered.
Refusal
/ Dismissal of Members:
The Internet Trade Bureau reserves the right to
refuse any potential members based on a review of site
content, business practices or complaints. No
"adult" or "offensive" sites are
considered for membership. The Internet Trade Bureau also
reserves the right to dismiss any member determined to
have "excessive" resolved or unresolved
complaints and further, any member determined to be
"unrepresentative" of our organization.
Use
of Our Seal:
Only current members are allowed to use our
seal. Any unauthorized use of the seal is a violation of
law and will be handled accordingly. Any refused or
dismissed members continuing to use our seal will be
notified and given ample time to remove the seal and MUST
do so.
Membership
Dues:
Members agree to pay annual or monthly dues.
Renewal member dues will NEVER go up in cost. The amount
agreed to at signup is what members can expect to pay for
the duration of their memberships.
These
terms and conditions are subject to change as deemed
necessary by the Internet Trade Bureau.
