EngineersEdge.com (Engineers Edge, LLC) publishes and maintains business listing(s) for, and/or link(s) to, its web site(s) for inclusion on EngineersEdge.com web site and on the web sites of EngineersEdge.com network partners.

Such listings and links may be any of the following types: Pay-Per-Click, Directory Inclusion, Article web pages "Editorial, Article", Press Releases, Premium Advertising Media and others. The terms and conditions applicable are set forth below. In connection with the Premium Advertising Media service and PPC (Pay Per Click), Advertiser may be granted access to EngineersEdge.com access program interface as required.

Notification of Changes

Whenever EngineersEdge.com changes the Listings Service Agreement (Agreement), we will post those changes to this web page and will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Agreement. Advertiser agrees to be bound to any changes to this Agreement when Advertiser uses the services after any such modification is posted. It is therefore important that Advertiser reviews this Agreement regularly to ensure Advertiser is updated as to any changes.

Terms of Agreement

EngineersEdge.com may, at any time in its sole discretion, with or without cause, terminate this Agreement, cancel any listings or links submitted under this Agreement and/or restrict, suspend or terminate Advertiser's access to the EngineersEdge.com advertising program and associated interfaces. EngineersEdge.com will attempt to notify Advertiser of such cancellation, termination, suspension or restriction through email, phone or another method chosen by EngineersEdge.com.

Advertiser's subscription to the Directory Inclusion service will be automatically renewed for successive one-year terms, unless Advertiser notifies EngineersEdge.com in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to such renewal of its intent to cancel the Directory Inclusion service. The cost of the renewed Directory Inclusion will be the then-current standard rate. Advertiser's credit card will be charged the non-refundable renewal fee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If EngineersEdge.com is unable to process Advertiser's credit card payment because the credit card has expired or is otherwise invalid, then EngineersEdge.com may contact Advertiser to obtain payment information and/or cancel Advertiser's Inclusion subscription.

Advertiser may cancel any listing or link, and/or terminate this Agreement by canceling all listings and links hereunder, with or without cause, at any time, subject to the terms of this agreement. Advertisers that cancel active listings or links will not receive any refund, and EngineersEdge.com shall have no obligations with regard to canceled listings or links.

Payment Terms and Fees

Advertiser agrees to pay all applicable charges under this Agreement, including any applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity. If Advertiser disputes any charge made under this Agreement, Advertiser must notify EngineersEdge.com in writing within sixty (60) days after any such charge; failure to so notify EngineersEdge.com shall result in the waiver by Advertiser of any claim relating to any such disputed charge. Charges shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by EngineersEdge.com. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by EngineersEdge.com or have any effect under this Agreement.

Payment Options

Engineers Edge.com requires one of the following payment methods to be executed before advertising will commence.

Prepayment Option: To publish or renew advertising (Article Listing, Directory Inclusion, PPC, etc..), prepayment may be facilitated by issuing an advertiser's company check or utilizing Engineers Edge.com Credit Card payment form available on the following web page:

/engineering/order_advertising.htm

Prepayment may also be executed by Engineers Edge.com staff with a valid Visa, Master Card or American Express credit card number that is on file with us.

Invoicing Payment Option: To publish or renew advertising (Article Listing, Directory Inclusion, PPC, etc..) before payment is received by EngineersEdge.com with an invoice, Advertiser must maintain a valid Visa, Master Card or American Express credit card number on file with us; provided, however, that a credit card number is not required where Advertiser has applied for and received approval from EngineersEdge.com for payment exclusively by invoice.

Should Advertiser pay for advertising by invoice (subject to EngineersEdge.com's approval as set forth above), Advertiser will be billed via an invoice e-mailed to Advertiser at the e-mail address designated and maintained by Advertiser. Invoiced amounts are due within 20 days of the invoice date. If an invoiced amount has not been paid within twenty one (21) days after the date of invoice, EngineersEdge.com will have the right (without limiting its other rights and remedies) to charge the Advertiser's credit card on file with EngineersEdge.com (if any) for the amount due.
