Welcome to PrivateEye.com ("Private Eye" or "Company"). Private Eyeprovides the PrivateEye.com website ("Site") to you subject to the following Terms of Use ("Terms") which govern your use of the Site and which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. By using or visiting the Site, you accept these Terms. Please read them carefully.
In order to take advantage of certain features on the Site, you may be required to register with the Company. For example, you may be required to register if you want to set up a Site account, where you can save your preferences, receive e-mail alerts, discount offerings, or other information from the Site. You may also be required to register to receive e-mail updates with updated information from the Company. The Site's use of any personal information that you provide to the Company during any registration process is governed by the Site's Privacy Policy. Users may receive e-mail confirming their registration with the Company, as well as promotional marketing of commercial products and services. By having a Site account with the Company, you agree to take full responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of your account user name, password, and all related activity that occurs under your account user name.
In consideration of your use of the Site's services, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving our services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (i) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by our Site, and (ii) maintain and promptly update your Site information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site.
Most of the products on the Site come with a limited guarantee; this means that if your search does not return any results, we may provide you with another search, at no additional cost to you, but will not refund your purchase (please see below section "Refunds"). You acknowledge that the service is provided "as is." You are paying for us to conduct a search on your behalf, not to return any particular result. Information is often obtained by third parties and the accuracy of the information cannot be guaranteed.
Fees for our services are listed on the Site. Any such fees are non-refundable. By purchasing our services, you agree to pay with a valid credit card and certify that you are an authorized user of the credit card. To protect our customers from credit card fraud, we may work with law enforcement agencies to address issues by sharing information such as credit card numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, etc. We reserve the right to suspend services for individuals suspected of fraudulent credit card activity. You are responsible, and must pay for, all purchases of the services made by individuals using your account. If you suspect that unauthorized use of your account is occurring, you must notify us immediately.
You agree to pay all amounts due upon our demand. In the event we have to collect unpaid amounts you owe us, you will be liable for all attorneys' and collection agency fees.
Unless we indicate otherwise, all fees and charges are final, with no refunds. Any issues or concerns about a particular purchase must be brought to our attention within 15 days of purchase, and you agree to waive all issues and concerns after such time. If you do not notify us that you want to cancel our services, the then-applicable monthly or annual fee for your subscription will be billed automatically to the credit card you designated during the registration process (see "Termination", below).
Payment
In the event you choose to subscribe to the services offered on the Site, your subscription will continue for the monthly or annual period you select during registration (the "Term"), and renew automatically at the end of the Term, unless you notify us of your decision not to renew your subscription by contacting our Customer Service Department.
Termination, Free Trial
If you do not notify us that you want to cancel your subscription as described above, the then-applicable monthly or annual fee for your subscription will be billed automatically to the credit card you designated during the registration process (or subsequently changed).
During the free-trial portion of your subscription (if any), you may cancel your subscription at any time and not be billed by contacting our Customer Service Department. When you cancel automatic renewal on your subscription, your subscription will continue through the rest of the current period. At the end of that period, your subscription will not renew automatically, and you will lose the benefits of the subscription. You are not entitled to refunds for previous months that have already been charged as services have been rendered and costs have been incurred by us.
