of individuals placing the advertisements. If you have made contact with an individual and will be conducting
a transaction, we urge you to research the background of the individual you are conducting business with.

Beware of individuals requesting Western Union payments or money orders and who promise "Deals" to good to be true.

and announcements. You will also receive auto-generated emails based upon the
preferences you choose in your profile. You may at anytime discontinue these

Billing & Refunds: Your Rights
Subject to your payment of the
Monthly Subscription Fee set forth in the subscribe/registration process of the Service (the "Subscription Fee"), PetsUnlimited.com grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right to access and use the Service and the materials provided thereon, provided that you comply fully with this Agreement. The contents of the Service are only for your personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to interrupt, or attempt to interrupt, the operation of the Site in any way.
Fee-Based Service Charges and refunds.
PetsUnlimited.com will issue refunds where PetsUnlimited.com is at fault by not providing service as stated. No refunds will be given once a subscription is activated unless PetsUnlimited.com is at fault and cancellation is within 12 hours of activation. PetsUnlimited.com will remedy any issue within a reasonable time period and ensure service is restored to proper working order.
You agree to pay, using a valid credit card acceptable to PetsUnlimited.com. PetsUnlimited.com reserves the right to increase the Subscription Fee, and any surcharges or to institute new fees at any time, upon reasonable notice posted in advance on the Service. PetsUnlimited.com will automatically charge your account for renewal of your Subscription. The renewal charge will be the then-current published rate for the term of your Subscription. Your Subscription will continue and renew automatically, unless terminated by PetsUnlimited.com or until you cancel services and resign your membership. PetsUnlimited.com will not be responsible for any overdraft or other service charges to credit or debit cards made as a result of fees by PetsUnlimited.com, regardless of when the fees are billed. In the event PetsUnlimited.com cannot charge your account, PetsUnlimited.com reserves the right to terminate your access to the Service. PetsUnlimited.com reserves the right to raise or lower fees for service to adjust for cost of service increases, however you can cancel your account without penalty at any time.
In addition to the charges set forth above, you are responsible for all charges associated with connecting to the Service, including, without limitation, all telephone access lines (including long-distance charges, when applicable), internet service provider charges, telephone and computer equipment and any service fees necessary to access the Service.
For purposes of identification and billing, you agree to provide PetsUnlimited.com with accurate, complete, and updated information required by the Service's registration process ("Registration Data"), including, without limitation, your name, address, telephone number(s), and applicable payment data (e.g., credit card number and expiration date), and e-mail address. You may check "My Account" from time to time to determine whether your Registration Data is current and accurate, and, if it is not, to correct or update your Registration Data. Failure to comply with this provision (including, without limitation, falsification of any Registration Data) may, at PetsUnlimited.com’s option, result in immediate suspension or termination of your right to use the Service.
You agree to promptly update your Registration Data, in accordance with the instructions on the Service when such updates are necessary or applicable, including, without limitation, in the event of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your Subscription, or any known or suspected breach of security, including, without limitation, loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your password or credit card information. In the event of a breach of security, you will remain liable for any unauthorized use of your Subscription until you update your Registration Data. If your credit card expires, is canceled, is lost or is subject to use without your authorization, or if your Subscription is subject to use without your authorization, you must follow Subscription help instructions to update your Registration Data.
Auto-renewal. Your Petsunlimited.com subscription will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. To change or resign your subscription at any time, go to Account Settings. If you resign, your subscription will expire immediately without a pro-rated refund for any time remaining in the current subscription period and your subscription will not be renewed.
Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your account and subscription at anytime by accessing your profile preferences page by clicking on "MY Account" and then "Manage My Plans" and clicking the view transaction history for pre-upgraded accounts or simply the Cancel to Free button. Your account will be canceled immediately, however any billing that has occurred previous to your cancellation is final and will not be refunded.
The date and time of your cancellation is logged and we are able to provide this information to your credit card company for verification upon request. Fraudulently indicating that you have canceled your account when you have not is a violation of these terms of service and is punishable by law.
PetsUnlimited.com is working hard for you, and you can be sure we will continue to bring you new and innovate services to help you manage all your pet needs. We hope you reconsider before canceling.
In order to bring you uninterrupted service and for your convenience, your
MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEE will renew automatically until you tell us otherwise by resigning your membership from your account management page. This is clearly stated in the Site Use Policy (terms of service) and when you purchase services on PetsUnlimited.com. By registering or entering your billing information, you agreed to adhere to and understood these terms of service. Your subscription date and resignation date are logged and displayed for your convenience as well as documented to your Credit Card Company to prevent fraud.
May 2007: Update To Billing Schedule. Any standard site membership purchased prior to 6/2006 will now be charged at a lower monthly rate of $4.95 or current rate. Standard site membership is the basic site access fee and does not include advertising subscriptions. Please see pricing page for current rates.
