Fees for Service:

Standard Service License Fees: Net Detective Service is available for a one-time license fee. HD Publishing Group guarantees your satisfaction with its Standard Net Detective Service for a period of 90 (ninety) days from the original date of purchase subject to providing information to Net Detective pertaining to your reason for requesting a refund. You agree that if you choose to request a refund of your membership fee, you will do so by notifying the HD Publishing Group support group within the specified time by phone at 386-736-3881 or via the HD Publishing Group support group support@hdpublishing.com to request the refund request form (‘rrf”). That rrf form must be filled out and sent back to Net Detective by mail addressed to HD Publishing Group, 1392 S. Woodland Blvd, Deland, Florida, 32720, Attn: Data Management Dept or by scanned and emailed to support@hdpublishing.com in order to receive the refund of your membership fee. Upon receipt a refund will be issued.

Premium Service License Fees: Net Detective Plus and Law Enforcement Edition is our premium Service. You acknowledge and agree that you will be charged a monthly service charge for that premium Service. One month is agreed by each member to be a 30-day period. 30 days following the date you joined, an amount equal to the monthly service charge in effect at the date you joined will be charged to the credit card on file for the Member. You can cancel your premium Net Detective Service at any point during a monthly period to avoid subsequent monthly subscription fees being billed. Under no circumstance will subscription charges be refunded, regardless of the amount of time left on the Member's monthly term. You agree that if and when you choose to cancel your premium membership, you will do so by calling the HD Publishing Group customer support department as detailed at http://support.netdetectiveplus.com/. There is no charge applied by HD Publishing Group for cancellation. Because of the unlimited user access granted to you during the period of subscription, all monthly charges made via the system are NON-REFUNDABLE.

Free or Introductory Promotional Offers: If you have joined under a SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY TRIAL OFFER (for example, first three days for $9.95 or a thirty day free trial), you hereby acknowledge that a credit card charge reflecting the monthly fee will occur beginning at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time ("EST") on the day the trial period is completed. You may cancel a premium Service at any time but once a charge is made for the monthly service fee, no refunds will be granted unless you have already cancelled your subscription via phone prior to 6 p.m. EST on the day the trial period ends. In order to receive any refund for a charge made after you have cancelled you must provide proof of cancellation. Such proof will be limited to the automated confirmation email from HD Publishing Group showing the date and time of said cancellation. Said cancellation must have occurred prior to the end of the trial period. Said trial period is calculated to include as a full day the day you started your introductory trial period, regardless of the amount of time actually remaining in that day. For example, a member joining under a 3 day trial period on Thursday evening will be charged a monthly subscription charge on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. EST

Limitation on Re-activation: You agree that there is 1 (one) introductory or trial offer for use per member/computer/email address and/or member's immediate household. You further agree that if and when you choose to re-activate and continue your subscription, your account will re-activate at the regular monthly charge. Use of multiple introductory or trial offers by you will be considered breach of this agreement and remedy may include application by HD Publishing Group of one regular pro-rata monthly membership charge for each additional introductory or trial period utilized by you after the first, even if each subsequent membership trial is cancelled within the said trial period. You agree to pay any and all such additional monthly membership charges.

Indemnity by Member: You agree to indemnify and hold HD Publishing Group, its officers, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, directors, agents, service providers, suppliers and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorney fees and court costs, made by any third party due to or arising out of materials you submit, post or make available through the Service, your use of the Site or Service, your violation of the Terms, your breach of any of the representations and warranties herein, or your violation of any rights of another person or entity.
