Caution Regarding Recurring Charges
==============================
October, 2006
Please note that if you sign up for a Gold membership with CLASSMATES.COM, you will probably
also be signed up for Automatic Renewal of your membership. Their current rate for Gold membership
(OCT 2006) is $39 per year.
With Automatic Renewal, this means that your credit card will automatically be charged $39
(or the current rate) every year until you cancel your membership, or change your billing option to
"Manual" instead of "Automatic".
No refunds are given by Classmates once the charge has been made against your credit card.
This is stated on their website, and in a recorded message at their headquarters. Supposedly, all
this information is buried in their 36-page Terms of Service document (it's not).
In my opinion, $39/year is a high fee to pay for a website that:
* Is user-unfriendly in its site navigation and legibility
* Is filled with advertising
* Has "slow" to "very slow" response time
* Signs up Gold members for Automatic Renewal
* Charges Gold Members $39/year automatically unless they take steps to prevent it
* Makes it difficult to locate their Terms Of Service, and Cancellation procedures
Offered for what it's worth.
