SPECIAL SERVICES.

Center Stage and The Showcase.

At any time for an additional fee, a User may upload an image to either Center Stage section of the Website’s home page or The Showcase page.

For Center Stage, a User will be charged a $5.00 fee for one (1) image to be shown for seven (7) consecutive days, running on a loop and repeated several times.

For The Showcase page, a User will be charged a $10.00 fee for one (1) image to be continuously shown for seven (7) consecutive days.

• The service expires seven (7) days from the date the payment was processed.  
• Confirmation of processed payment can be found in two locations on our Site. On the header bar, under Account tab, Dashboard, Notifications (yellow bell) and on the header bar, under Account tab, My Profile, Purchase History, View Your Purchase History.

Logo and slogan advertising.

These advertisements are seen on the following pages: Center Stage, The Showcase, Candids, Spotlight and Events and can be viewed for thirty (30) days. The terms are as follows:

• All sales are final. The advertisement is non-exchangeable, and payment is non-refundable.

• A User is not permitted to exchange one logo/slogan for another during the thirty (30) day period.

 

 Thumbnail Ads.

On the Trendin’ page, for every ten Users who register with the Website and upload at least one image, an additional advertising thumbnail opportunity will appear. This ratio will appear when you filter by “Make.”  Users who pay to advertise on a specific Make page may also see their advertisement randomly placed on the unfiltered or Category pages of Trendin’.

To be clear, this is complimentary and random. There are no promises or guarantees, stated or implied that a User’s thumbnail advertisement will be seen on either the unfiltered or Category pages.

The first thumbnail advertisement opportunity on every Make page is referred to as a Slot One advertisement. Since there are several Makes pages, Slot One advertisements may be randomly placed on the unfiltered or Category pages until there are no more.

Once all Slot One advertisements are placed and exhausted, Slot Two advertisements may be randomly placed until there are no more. This process will repeat and continue for the remaining slotted advertisements (three, four, five, etc.) and will constantly change (as each 30-day advertisement becomes available at different days throughout the month).  Because the process of placing an advertisement is a random action, there is no prioritization over another, both in Make or advertisement.

The terms are as follows:

• All sales are final. The advertisement is non-exchangeable, and payment is non-refundable.
• The term of each advertisement is thirty (30) days.  The term begins when payment is processed and ends thirty (30) days from that date. You will receive confirmation upon submission of payment.

On the header bar, under Account tab, Dashboard, Notifications (yellow bell) and on the header bar, under Account tab, My Profile, Purchase History, View Your Purchase History. Clicking View Your Purchase History allows a User to access Stripe, which will show User’s transaction history. To verify that your credit card was charged the correct amount, check with the credit card company. Oftentimes, you will receive confirmation from your vendor as soon as payment is submitted.
• Advertisements shall appear in a specific location using a specific url.
• A User is not permitted to exchange one logo/slogan for another during the thirty (30) day period.
