  9. Evaluation Version:
    A new user may be invited to use an Evaluation Membership, which is only intended to demonstrate the features of BusinessSearchIndex.com. The Evaluation Membership may be terminated at any time by BusinessSearchIndex.com, at which time the user will be unable to access their Administration Website.
  10. Premium Membership Subscription:
    A user may optionally purchase a Premium Membership Subscription, which offers features that are not included with a free membership. Although the user may cancel a paid subscription at any time, each period of a paid subscription is non-refundable after the user has paid for that period. For example: If a user purchases a 3-month subscription on February 1, and then they cancel the subscription on April 1, then they will not be charged on May 1, but they will not receive any refund for the 30 days from April 1 to May 1.
    A paid subscription does not include any merchandise or shipment whatsoever. Therefore, the user may not use "failure to receive merchandise" as a reason to request a refund or chargeback, and the Site shall not be required to provide any shipping or tracking information in response to a request for a refund or chargeback.
  11. Premium Members' Banner Ads:
    Premium Members (i.e. paid subscribers) may have their Banner Ad displayed on several of our other applicable websites. Each Premium Member's ad is rotated with the ads for the other Premium Members. For example, if there are 100 Premium Members, then each Premium Member's ad would be displayed 1 out of every 100 times that any of our applicable websites are shown. A Banner Ad will appear on our applicable websites the day after the Premium Member has created or edited their Banner Ad on their Administration page. The Banner Ad's content must be appropriate for the websites that it will be displayed on. At their sole discretion, the Site may reject any Banner Ad for any reason whatsoever.

The Site sends messages to MetaMask, which requires that you perform an additional confirmation before any Ethereum transfer occurs. The Site is not affiliated in any way with MetaMask, or the Ethereum Network. Therefore, the Site is not responsible for any loss or damages caused by your usage of MetaMask or the Ethereum Network. The other Terms described in the Ether Escrow Help Webpage constitute part of this agreement.
  13. Website Ads Features:
    The Site's Website Ads features allow members to sell advertising on their website, and purchase ads from other members. The Site is not responsible for any member-to-member transactions.
