The amount of storage space per member may be limited; please contact our support staff for details.PeopleString reserves the right to limit the number of messages received by any individual account or from any IP address. Storage allotments are calculated on both messages received to your account as well as any messages to others.

FEES, PAYMENTS AND REFUNDS

PeopleString and its subsidiaries may charge for certain services. Payment for Products will be made by a valid credit card accepted by PeopleString Corporation. Money Orders are accepted for prepayments of at least three (3) months. Fees are payable in U.S. dollars. The entrepreneur package fee and a portion of the PeopleDeals package is for development; development shall be deemed complete upon account creation. Maintenance shall generally start at the beginning of a period and maintenance fees shall generally be billed at period end. Service fees will be billed at the start of a service period, after any free trial periods.

PeopleString's AE Peopledeals package costs $350 and includes development of your personal Local PeopleDeals Business page with custom SEO for your Business, custom PeopleDeals business link (http://peopledeals.com/YourBusinessName), the design of API and RSS tools for your website and creation of lisings in the PeopleDeals.com website and mobile apps. Development is completed upon payment of the $350 development fee and is non-refundable once development is completed.

If the monthly or quarterly payment options are selected or if you have previously provided your credit card for payment, you hereby authorize PeopleString Corporation to charge your credit card for such amounts on a regular monthly or quarterly basis and continuing until such time as your account is terminated. If PeopleString Corporation is for any reason unable to effect automatic payment via your credit card, PeopleString Corporation will attempt to notify you via email and your PeopleString Corporation account will be disabled until payment is received. PeopleString may asses a reconnection fee. PeopleString has a no refund policy on all development but will refund monthly, quarterly and annual payments retroactively in the first 60 days of service.

PeopleString reserves the right to charge for any sales taxes it believes it has a responsibility to collect. Purchases of our products and services may be subject to taxes and fees by the purchaser. PeopleString assumes no liability for any taxes and fees associated by the issuance of coupons by, or on behalf, of the purchaser or the purchaser's customers.

PEOPLESTRING PAYMENTS TO USERS

As PeopleString users earn money, it is added to the Current Earnings total in the account Transactions. Users can access and view their account transactions and activity in their account. Free members are paid one time monthly when the account reaches $25 in Current Earnings. Entrepreneur/Premium members are paid twice monthly when the account reaches $25 in Current Earnings. At this time, members will see a "Pay Me" button on the top right side of their PS Portal. Payments for Free members will then post to the account Transactions on the 1st of the month and payments for Entrepreneur/Premium members will post to the account Transactions on the 1st and the 16th of the month. Once payments post to the account transactions, they are put in queue to be sent via the elected Payment Method.

Payments are sent approx 7-10 days after they post to a users' account. In the event a payment date falls on a holiday or weekend, it will post to the account on the next business day. PeopleString is not responsible for payments that are sent to the incorrect recipient due to user error or in the event that a users account security is compromised. Payments are made to active members and an account reaching inactive status will forfeit all earnings. An account becomes Inactive if the user has not logged into it for 90 days or more or the account is terminated.

Users do not have to claim payments upon reaching $25, as some users prefer to receive one larger payment rather than multiple smaller payments. The monies in the Current Earnings total will remain in the system until the user elects to be paid as long as the account is active. Upon electing to receive a payment, the aforementioned instructions will apply in order for the users' payment to be processed and sent accordingly.
