Description of W3Look Submit Service

W3Look Directory Submit is a fee-based service provided by Best of the Web to consider your web site for inclusion in the W3Look Directory (the "Directory"). INCLUSION IS NOT GUARANTEED. Subject to the terms below, if your web site is accepted, then your web site's continued inclusion in the Directory will be subject to additional review each year and to the applicable NON-REFUNDABLE recurring annual fee. By signing up with W3Look Directory Submit, W3Look will consider and respond to your request for inclusion in the Directory. In consideration of your payment and participation in W3Look Directory Submit in accordance with this Agreement, W3Look agrees that an editor will look at your site, consider it for inclusion in the Directory, and respond to you within three (3) business days from the date that you submit your site for consideration (excluding holiday periods observed by W3Look and any delays due to problems processing your request). If your site offers services on a subscription basis, you must provide W3Look a trial password or subscription ID as part of the registration form. The password/subscription ID will be valid for a period of not less than 60 days and will be used by W3Look solely as part of its evaluation of whether your site meets and maintains the minimum site criteria explained below.

You must submit a valid credit card number as part of the registration form. You agree that your credit card will be charged the applicable NON-REFUNDABLE fee for initial consideration for W3Look Directory Submit. If your site is included, you agree that after one year, your credit card will be charged the recurring annual fee for additional review and continued inclusion in the Directory. W3Look, however, reserves the right to remove your site if it fails to meet the minimum criteria below.

The current fee for W3Look Directory Submit for initial consideration in the Directory is a NON-REFUNDABLE fee of US $69.95 applicable for each web site submitted. You acknowledge that the payment of this fee is for consideration of your site AND DOES NOT IN ANY WAY GUARANTEE THAT YOUR SITE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE DIRECTORY. Your payment only guarantees that an editor will consider and respond to your request within three business days, by either accepting or not accepting your site. You expressly agree to pay to W3Look such fee whether or not your site is accepted or denied inclusion. If your web site is accepted for inclusion, then your web site's continued inclusion in the Directory will be subject to additional review each year and you agree that your credit card will be charged the recurring annual fee. If you chose to submit your web site at the one-time review fee of US $149.95, and your web site was accepted into the W3Look Directory, it WILL NOT be subject to recurring annual review fees. If W3Look is unable to successfully charge your card or if the charge is refused, your site may be removed.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OBLIGATES W3LOOK TO LIST, LINK TO, OR ACCEPT YOUR SITE ANYWHERE ON W3LOOK OR IN THE DIRECTORY. IF YOUR SITE IS ACCEPTED, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OBLIGATES W3LOOK TO PLACE YOUR SITE WITHIN A SPECIFIC CATEGORY, OR TO PROVIDE ANY SPECIFIC DESCRIPTIONS.

Do not submit your site to W3Look Directory Submit program if your site already appears in the Directory. If you submit a site that already exists in the Directory, your credit card will be charged the applicable fee. Nor should you submit change requests to the W3Look Directory Submit program. If you need to make a change to your listing in the Directory (this includes changing the URL, title, and/or description of the existing site), you must use the change form located in the login panel associated with your account. If you submit change requests through W3Look Directory Submit you will be charged the applicable initial consideration fee, and the changes you submit will not be made.
