RENTAL POLICY
PLEASE NOTE: Your MODE of payment may be affected by the method in which you signed up for your room. If you dealt strickly with this site and/or "normal affiliates" of MyPrivateRoom.com, then you'll see our policies listed below. If you however came to occupy a room or rooms through one of our Concierge ACCOUNTS, that person may have a Slightly Different method of charging and receiving fees from you. Concierges are independent business people and they may charge MORE or LESS than the parent company. Concierges act as "super affiliates" of our company and often offer programs that favor you and your financial interests. To determine if you are actually in a "regular room" or in a Concierge ACCOUNT room, you should see a special message at the top the page when you click on the Forum Icon. If you see the message, then you are in a Concierge's room. If no message appears at the top of the first Forum page (relating to this subject) then you are considered part of the "general population" and are not under the umbrella of a Concierge. Another way to determine if you are within a "block" of Concierge rooms is by the room number itself. Room numbers above 250,000 are Concierge rooms. Room numbers below 250,000 are "regular direct sign up rooms". ---------------------------------------------------- All members have an initial 6 month FREE membership. Since we have many clients who would not like the inconvenience of trying to remember each month to renew their rental, you have several distinct options. * You may make a monthly payment of $5.00 US per month * You may make a payment for 6 months @ $25.00 US { Save $5.00 } * You may make a payment for 12 months @ $40.00 US { Save $20.00 } As you can see, the yearly rental saves you a tremendous amount of money over the monthly method. The yearly rental also has the added advantage of eliminating your need to "remember" to update your account and request more time. ---------------------------------------------------- Scenario #1: (if you elect to pay month by month) ------------------------------------------------- When a new room is created we assign a date of 185 days (from sign up date) to be the initial rental period. We will bill you after an initial 185 day (6 month) trial period. This billing will be for the following month's fees. We will then simply REBILL your account for each additional month as time has elasped and the new month(s) fee has become due and payable. You may receive reminders near the end of your 30 day cycles if we have trouble processing your credit card for the following month. These reminders will instruct you to manually check your profile and credit card information. It will also serve as an opportunity to inform the system that you want to stay longer in that specific room. This can be accomplished while renter is in ADMIN MODE. Link to {Extending Time} can be found (while in your room) near the top of the page (on the left). ------------------------------------------------------- Scenario #3:(if you elect to pay for a year in advance) ------------------------------------------------------- When you opt to extend your period of rental for one year we will add a date of 1 year (to the current room's END DATE). We will then bill you for the yearly fees due (in advance) for another year of service. This transaction will take place during one of our regular "recurring billing sweeps". Selecting an extended period of time offers you several advantages such as: 1. A savings in the overall yearly fees by paying in advance. 2. You eliminate the worry (on a month to month basis) of whether your credit card account is in good standing at the moment we attempt to collect our fees. Our system is fully automated and if the required fees are found to be not available, it could be cause for immediate termination of your account. NOTE: Some reasonable notice will be given to you before termination will take place. 3. Gives you the added convenience of not having to remember another item in your already busy schedule. FYI: Your credit card statement will display the name Lexcel Systems for these charges. NOTE: 'Dumping a Room' refers to the act that the room's administrator may take when selecting an Exit Strategy- The option 'Wipe Clean Now' in effect, 'dumps the room' (e.g. deletes the room and all it's contents). If you decide to manually "DUMP" your room, then all potential rental fees will be stopped. This is true because your room will no longer exist.
REFUND POLICY
If you for any reason decide that the rental of one of our Private Rooms is not for you, you may request and receive a refund up to the amount of your most recent rental. This request must be received BEFORE the rental time has expired. This means that no refund for rental (as in Scenario #1 above) may ever exceed $5.00 US. (Since the maximum we will charge is $5.00 US). In the case of Scenario #2 above (paid in advance for multiple months) a refund may be paid after a prorated fee has been deducted from the prepaid amount. [e.g. (Prepaid amount/12) * (num of whole months left on rental)] As a renter and in effect owner of a room, you may 'dump' your room anytime and any future charges will not occur due to the fact the room no longer exists and/or it is not associated with YOUR name. Where possible, refunds will be given on the same credit card that was used to initiate the rental transaction. Sales for our services by independent "Affiliate" operators may require additional deductions from your request due to the fact that these Affilates will have shared in the receipt of the initial transaction. In such cases we will always find a fair middle ground. No refunds are available "from us" for Concierge ACCOUNT sales. The reasons for this is that Concierges are a special kind of affiliate and we at MyPrivateRoom.com do not get involved in the fees that a Concierge may or may not charge you. NOTE: 'Dumping a Room' refers to the act that the room's administrator may take when selecting an Exit Strategy- The option 'Wipe Clean Now' in effect, 'dumps the room' (eg. deletes the room and all it's contents)
