The following terms and conditions apply to all advertising services offered by The Service Provider.
In placing an order for advertising services from The Service Provider, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions.
The Website is a classified advertisement site. Every payment made to The Service Provider is for advertising services, and is for a set number of days, for a particular advertising package.
Our full rate card is listed below and outlines all of our available packages along with the time frames that your advertisement will be active for, and the associated cost.
For clarity, a day or any part thereof shall be considered complete at 23:59. For example: if you begin your advertisement at 22:00, a full day will be considered complete at 23:59 which is 1 hours and 59 minutes after beginning. We recommend that you begin your adverts as close to the start of a new day as possible.
All payments made to The Service Provider, for advertisements, must be made in advance of the advertisement being made active on The Website.
We accept payment via credit cards and certain pre-paid voucher systems. We are unable to accept payment over the telephone or by any other medium.
We accept payments 24/7 on our website but all payments are subject to Fraud Screening and are manually reviewed. All payments are subject to a 48hr grace period in which the payment will be subject to a multitude of checks.
No third party payments will be accepted and The Service Provider reserves the right to reject any payment at any time.
In an instance where The Service Provider has received notification from its merchant account provider that a payment made by The Customer has been subject to a chargeback claim;
And the advertising service being provided by The Service Provider has begun but not completed;
The Advertisement will be cancelled without notice and The Customer will become liable for the full amount of the chargeback claim plus a potential further admin fee. No further Advertising Services will be provided to The Customer until this amount has been paid in full. We may choose to restrict all further payments and accounts by said Customer.
And the advertising service being provided by The Service Provider has not begun;
The Advertisement will not be made active and The Customer will become liable for a chargeback fee of €50. No further Advertising Services will be provided to The Customer until this amount has been paid in full. We may choose to restrict all further payments and accounts by said Customer.

No further Advertising Services will be provided to The Customer until this amount has been paid in full. We may choose to restrict all further payments and accounts by said Customer.
In an instance where The Service Provider is not satisfied by the legitimacy of a payment or the The Customer is unwilling or unable to provide documentary evidence in support of their payment;
The payment will be refunded and any services that have commenced will be cancelled without notice. We may choose to restrict all further payments and accounts by said Customer.
The contract between The Service Provider and The Customer will become legally binding when a payment has been submitted by The Customer, and these terms have been accepted (by ticking the appropriate checkbox to indicate you agree to the terms).
Each of the advertising packages offered by The Service Provider, on The Website, is for a set price and for a set number of consecutive days. A day includes a full 24 hour period or any partial day.
Once this consecutive period has concluded your advertisement will automatically be removed and the contract between The Service Provider and The Customer will have completed.
In the event of a payment being made for an advertisement which is cancelled by the Customer, or rejected by the Service Provider, prior to being made visible to the public on The Website, we will refund this payment to the original payment source within 14 days.
If the original payment source is unable to accept refunds (such as voucher systems) we shall refund your payment by cheque. Cheques will only be issued in the same name supplied at time of payment and will only be sent to the billing address supplied at time of payment.
The Service Provider will make every effort to ensure that The Website operates with an uptime of at least 95% but we cannot be held responsible if this is changed due to circumstances beyond our control. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure our hosting is very reliable.
In the event that The Website is offline for more than 50% of the month then a full refund will be offered within 28 days for any remaining days of your advertising package.
For example: if you purchase one month’s advertising at a price of €250 and our uptime is only 49% and you wish to seek a refund with 15 days remaining then a refund of 50% of your purchase price would be offered which would total €125.
No refunds are available for any other reason, once an advertisement has been made active** it will commence for the set number of consecutive days, it cannot be paused or kept on hold in any way. Your advertisement may be stopped early but no refund would be offered.
The Customer agrees that they are solely responsible for the management of their own Account and that they may only create one account on The Website.
Accounts cannot be gifted, sold or be made available to any 3rd party under any circumstances.
The Customer may hold multiple advertisements in a single account only where the advertisement relates to an alternative service provided by The Customer themselves.
In the event that this policy is not adhered to, The Service Provider reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary against The Customer, which may include the restricting or cancelling of services, with no refund, and/or the refusal to accept future advertisements.
