The Agreement:

Description of Web-Beacon Express Review Services

Web-Beacon Express is a fee-based service provided by Web-Beacon.com (hereafter referred to as Web-Beacon) to expedite review consideration of your website for inclusion in Web-Beacon's Directory of websites located at www.Web-Beacon.com . Inclusion in the Web-Beacon Directory is not guaranteed.

Every site is subject to the terms outlined by Web-Beacon, and at its sole discretion. If your website is accepted for inclusion as part of, or not part of, Web-Beacon Express, continued inclusion in the Directory will be subject to additional qualification reviews at random intervals. By signing up with Web-Beacon Express, Web-Beacon will consider and respond to your request for inclusion in the Directory on an expedited basis. In consideration of your payment and participation in Web-Beacon Express in accordance with this Agreement, Web-Beacon agrees that a member of its editorial staff will review your site, consider it for inclusion, and respond to you within two (2) business days from the date that you submit your site for consideration (excluding North American, United Kingdom, and Australian national or religious holiday periods observed by Web-Beacon and any delays due to problems processing your request). Response times are measured based on Web-Beacon's servers.

For Web-Beacon to consider your site for inclusion in the Directory, you must submit a valid credit card number as part of the submission form. You agree that your credit card will be charged the then current, applicable NON-REFUNDABLE fee for initial consideration of your website in the Web-Beacon Express Review Service. The fee for Web-Beacon Express, for initial consideration in the Directory is a NON-REFUNDABLE fee applicable for each website submitted. You acknowledge that the payment of this fee is for review of your site and DOES NOT IN ANY WAY GUARANTEE THAT YOUR SITE WILL BE INCLUDED in the Web-Beacon Directory. Your payment only guarantees that Web-Beacon will review and respond to your request within two business days, by either accepting or not accepting your site. You expressly agree to pay to Web-Beacon such fees whether or not your site is accepted or denied inclusion in the Web-Beacon Directory. If Web-Beacon is unable to charge your card successfully or if the charge is refused, your site will be removed.

NOTE THAT THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WHICH OBLIGATES Web-Beacon TO LIST, LINK TO, ACCEPT, PROMOTE OR OTHERWISE HOST YOUR SITE ANYWHERE ON Web-Beaconcom.com. IN ADDITION, IF YOUR SITE IS ACCEPTED, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OBLIGATES Web-Beacon TO PLACE YOUR SITE WITHIN A SPECIFIC CATEGORY OR SUBCATEGORY OF THE DIRECTORY, OR PROVIDE ANY COMMENTS OR ANNOTATIONS WITH THE LISTING OF YOUR SITE.

If your site offers services on a subscription basis, you must provide Web-Beacon.com a trial password or subscription as part of the submission form. The password/subscription will be valid for a period of not less than 45 days and will be used by Web-Beacon solely as part of its evaluation of whether your site meets and maintains the minimum site criteria used by Web-Beacon. If you submit a site that already exists in the Directory, your credit card wil be charged the then current, applicable initial consideration fee. Do not submit change requests through the Web-Beacon Express program. If you need to make a change to your listing, including changing the URL, title, or description of the existing site, you must use the appropriate means as described on the Web-Beacon website. If you do submit change requests through Web-Beacon Express, you will be charged the then currant applicable initial consideration fee, and the changes you submit may, or may not be made.
