  You agree not to make any false statements to us at any time, and you agree not to use pseudonyms or “dummy” account information when using the Site. You agree not to misrepresent whether you have already participated in an introductory trial, as described below.

To ensure account information is accurate and we can reach you if there is a problem, you agree to keep your account information current and updated at all times, and to provide us with a valid email address. HVL assumes no liability or responsibility for your failure to receive an email notification if such failure results from an inaccurate email address.

5.   FEES AND PAYMENT

5.1. Prompt Payment

  When you purchase Services from us, you agree to promptly pay any and all prices and fees due for those Services in the time and manner which we will specify at or near the time of purchase, and you agree to continue paying promptly until you cancel the Services. All prices and fees are non-refundable unless otherwise expressly noted, even if your Services are suspended, terminated, or transferred prior to the end of the Services term.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you will pay all sums due by means of a valid, active credit card. HVL expressly reserves the right to retain your old credit card information and bill an old credit card if a more recent card is determined to be invalid, inoperative, or otherwise fails to make payment. You agree that HVL may share your payment information, including credit card numbers, home address, and related information, with third-party payment processing firms in order to process your purchase of Services from us.

5.2.  Payment Due Date

Unless otherwise specified by us in our communications with you, during the Services term, we will bill you and charge your credit card on the monthly anniversary of the day after the expiration of your introductory trial, unless that day falls on the 31st day of a given month, in which case you will be billed on the 30th of each month. Your payment date may vary, however, so please monitor our communications with you, which will take precedence over this section.

5.3. Our Remedies for Insufficient Payment

If HVL is unable to charge your credit card for the full amount owed for the Services, your account may be canceled, and you will remain responsible for making all payments due.

If we have canceled your account in the past because of your failure to pay, and you want to sign up for a new account, we reserve the right to assess a $49.99 surcharge in addition to the normal amounts due on your first payment due date. However, if you sign up again after your account was cancelled, you may not be able to retrieve information from your previous account.

If HVL receives notification of a chargeback, reversal, payment dispute, or is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to your credit card, you agree that HVL may pursue all available lawful remedies in order to obtain payment, including but not limited to, immediate cancellation, without notice to you, of any domain names or Services registered or provided by us to you. HVL also reserves the right to charge you reasonable “administrative fees” or “processing fees” for (i) tasks HVL may perform outside the normal scope of its Services, (ii) additional time and/or costs HVL may incur in providing its Services, and/or (iii) your noncompliance with this Agreement (as determined by HVL in its reasonably exercised discretion). Typical administrative or processing fee scenarios include, but are not limited to (i) customer service issues that require additional personal time or attention; (ii) disputes that require accounting or legal services, whether performed by HVL staff or by outside firms retained by HVL; (iii) recouping any and all costs and fees, including the cost of Services, incurred by HVL as the results of chargebacks or other payment disputes brought by you, your bank, or your credit card processor. These administrative fees or processing fees may be billed to any credit card you have on file with HVL.

5.4. Cancellation Policy 

Unless you give proper notice of cancellation, you will be obligated to pay, even if you have not finished setting up your account and even if you have not received some of the Services for which you signed up, such as a domain name.

You acknowledge that we may cancel your account immediately after receiving the cancellation notice from you, after which all your account information will be deactivated and unavailable to you. As soon as your account is cancelled, whether by us or by you, the site has been deactivated, there is no way to retrieve information that was in the account. After your account is cancelled, you will be unable to retrieve any data stored on our systems, including, but not limited to, data associated with leads, such as phone numbers, names, addresses, or messages. We recommend that you export leads before cancelling your account, because HVL is not liable for any information that is lost due to the cancellation of your account.

You may cancel your account within account settings. Clicking on that link will immediately cancel your account. Alternatively, you may send a cancellation request to support@homevalueleads.com from the email address you used to register your account.

5.5.  Prices Subject to Change

HVL reserves the right to change prices for Services and/or payment due dates with appropriate notice to you. By continuing to use the Services after receiving notice of a change, you agree to make payments at those new prices at the time and in the manner specified in our communications with you. If you object to any changes, you must immediately notify us and cancel your account, or else you will be held responsible for paying the new prices.

If you have purchased or obtained Services for a term of months or years, a change in price shall take effect when the current term expires.

5.6.  Multi-Month Terms

  From time to time, HVL may offer a promotional rate for customers who agree to purchase Services for an extended term. By accepting a promotional rate, you understand that your right to receive the promotional rate shall retroactively terminate if you cancel the Services before the end of the extended term.  At the end of the multi month period your billing terms will revert back to monthly unless you request the multi month term to automatically renew before hand.

5.7.    Introductory Trials

  From time to time, we might offer the chance to participate in an introductory trial, in which we allow you to use certain Services for a promotional or discounted rate for a limited period of time. You may sign up for only one such introductory trial. If you have already participated in an introductory trial in any form whatsoever, whether or not you completed setup of your account or completed the term of the trial, you agree to forego any additional introductory trial. If you sign up to receive Services after having participated in any way in an introductory trial, you understand that you must pay for Services you receive. The introductory trial is subject to cancellation at any time.

5.8 Domain Names

Domain names are an important aspect of the Services. We strongly recommend that you register a domain name quickly and provide it to us in the manner specified in our communications with you. If you do not register a domain name, we have the right, but not the obligation, to register a domain name for you to use as part of providing Services to you. The domain name we register will not necessarily be appropriate for your intended geographic area, and any domain name registered by HVL will be owned by HVL. You will have no ownership or other rights to the domain name beyond the temporary right to use it in accordance with our provision of the Services. When your Services term ends, or your account is canceled, any domain name registered by HVL will remain the property of HVL.

5.9 No Refunds

  HVL does not offer refunds, whether prorated or not, for unused Services or unexpired time left remaining on an extended term.
