This is a agreement between you (purchaser) and T.O.C. (http://timeshareownerscommunity.com/). This agreement concerns your purchase of a service in which T.O.C. agrees to provide banner impressions/send visitors to a URL specified by you ("the service" or "the package").
Campaign starting date: Due to variances in amounts of impressions purchased at different times, the starting date may fluctuate, and we are in no way to be held responsible if your campaign does not start by a specific date. All payments must clear first. All new clients banners first must be verified first before we start your campaign, this may delay your order until you have been verified by us, and not the day the order was placed.
You are guaranteed that T.O.C. will provide the number of impressions/visitors to the banner/URL you specify and agreed apron by you/us. If you are a new client and have not been verified, your campaign will be delayed until your have become verified. This is the only guarantee for this service.

If we are unable to deliver the number of impressions promised, you may claim a refund. In the unlikely event that T.O.C. does not deliver the number of impressions promised, we will provide a refund of your entire purchase price on a pro-rated basis. In cases where refunds are claimed, we reserve the right to require proof that the proper number of visitors were not delivered. Stats, Data and other information from third party counters (e.g. Extreme-DM.com, hitbox,) are not sufficient to establish a claim. These counting systems tend to yield an improper count. If we dispute your claim, you must provide us with RAW server logs from the site and time period in question - this is the only reliable method of counting a visitor.
T.O.C. will notify violator 1 time via email that impressions have stopped for violating one our terms of service.

VIRUS SITES: T.O.C. will not tolerate any sites submitted that have a virus on it. Your campaign will be stopped, dropped, and black listed. You site will go on a list of sites, ips, that we publish to be black listed for all to see. You only harm all business owners who are trying to make a living, and if put up a site that has a virus, you will be caught and reported, and never be able to order banner impressions from this site, and will be reported to other sites, we will not tolerate this type of abuse.
TERMINOLOGY: (1) In the present context, a visit generally occurs when a text file is loaded from your server (this includes HTML files). A hit occurs when a file is loaded from your web server. Since loading a single web page can cause several files to load (e.g. images), several hits usually occur when a page is loaded. Thus, the number of hits is always greater than (or equal to) the number of visits. The term “number of visitors” is interchangeable with the term “number of visits.” Several “visits” may originate from a single IP address or individual. This generally occurs when an individual returns to or reloads a webpage. (2) “Banner Impression” are the amount of times your banner is displayed on our site, more than one “impressions” may originate from a single IP address or individual (3) “Pro-rated” refunds are calculated by dividing the number of visits we delivered by the number of visits you ordered. The result of this calculation is subtracted from 1 and the resulting figure is multiplied by your purchase price to derive the “pro-rated” refund.
If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any jurisdiction or government agency having jurisdiction, that particular provision will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make the provision valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
