6. SERVICE FEES AND BILLING METHODS; AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

(a) Membership Fee

Realteqs will charge You a membership fee in order to provide the Service. Your membership fee is the amount You were charged for one term of Your Subscription or Plan, not including any promotions or discounts that may have been applied (the “Membership Fee”). For this or other reasons, the Membership Fee might be different than the amount paid by another new or existing member who purchased the same services in the same market. You may check Your account online or, if Your Plan includes live member care support, call a Realteqs call center representative if You have any questions.

You acknowledge that Realteqs reserves the right, at any time, to modify its Membership Fees and billing methods. Membership Fees may be paid in advance by credit card, debit card, or PayPal.

(b) Automatic Renewal

If You have paid membership Plan (e.g., Gold or Platinum), Realteqs will automatically renew Your Plan for one year at the Membership Fee for the Plan (as such Membership Fee may be modified as provided above) using the credit card, debit card or other payment information on file with Realteqs. Such renewal payment will take place on or about Your Renewal Date. Your Plan will continue, and Your payment method will be charged, the Membership Fee until You cancel the Plan, which You may do at any time (see Canceling Your Plan, below).

If the payment processing for the renewal of Your Plan fails for any reason, we will attempt to process Your renewal for a period up to one hundred eighty (180) days in accordance with our standard renewal practices then in effect (which may be modified from time to time by Realteqs). Except as otherwise required by applicable law, You agree that Realteqs will not provide You with any notices prior to each annual renewal payment.

If You chose a free Classic Plan, Your Plan also will renew on Your Renewal Date, but You will not be charged.

(c) Canceling Your Plan

You may cancel Your Plan at any time by contacting Realteqs by (Type here Realteqs physical address including email; by telephone at (if your Plan includes live phone support); or by signing into your account and visiting https://member.realteqs.com/member/support to chat with a specialist. If You wish to avoid renewal, Your cancellation request must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. local Time (In UAE, UAE time or else time zone applicable for the country)on the business day prior to Your Renewal Date.

(d) Membership Fee Refund Policy:

  1. Automatic Renewal Refund—Regardless of when You joined Realteqs, if your Plan automatically renews and You cancel Your Plan within thirty (30) days after your Renewal Date, You may request a full refund of the Membership Fee.
  2. Under no circumstances shall refunds exceed the amount you paid for your Membership Fee during the prior membership term.
  3. In accordance with Section 18, below, if Realteqs terminates Your account for any reason and You are not in breach of this Agreement, Realteqs will refund Your Membership Fee on a pro rata basis from the date of such termination to the end of the then current term.
  4. Members are not entitled to refunds of their Membership Fee under any other circumstances.

(e) Realteqs Magazine Fee ( to be decided later)

Your Plan may include access to the Realteqs Magazine, where applicable. A portion of Your Membership Fee ($6.50 per year) will be applied to the printing and/or distribution of the Realteqs Magazine. This fee for the Realteqs Magazine may not be deducted from Your Membership Fee.

(f) Authorization to Update Credit Card Account Information; Account Updater (To be decided later)

If the credit card or debit card provided by You to Realteqs has expired during an attempt to renew Membership Fees pursuant to this Section, You authorize Realteqs to revise the expiration date and proceed with billing using the same credit or debit card account. In addition, as a convenience to You, Realteqs contracts with a third-party service that refreshes expired or replaced credit card and debit card numbers with the numbers of any replacement cards so that Your paid Services do not lapse because the credit card or debit card information initially on file with Realteqs has expired or changed (“Account Updater”).

By registering for the Service and receiving a Plan, You consent to and authorize Realteqs’s disclosure of Your credit or debit card information to Account Updater. You further consent to the third party’s use of such information solely in connection with Account Updater. You also consent to Realteqs receipt and use of updated credit card or debit card account information from Your financial institution in connection with the provision of the Service as provided in this Agreement and the Privacy Policy.

7. INCENTIVES

Realteqs may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, offer certain products or services as incentives (“Incentives”) to select one of the Membership Plans. Realteqs is neither the seller nor manufacturer of the Incentives and disclaims any and all liability and warranties of any kind relating to the Incentives, the use of the Incentives, and the tax implications of receiving the Incentives. You agree that You shall not bring any action against Realteqs relating in any way to the Incentives. In the event that an Incentive is lost, does not operate properly, or is otherwise incorrect, unfit, or unusable in any way, You agree that Realteqs has no responsibility for replacing the Incentive.

8. ACCOUNT SECURITY

Realteqs will assign You a user ID and a password when You register. Your user ID and password may only be used by You and the members of Your household (meaning anyone who currently shares with You the address You registered with Realteqs). You are solely responsible for maintaining and protecting the confidentiality of Your user ID and password, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under Your user ID and password.

9. LIMITED LICENSE TO WEBSITE AND MAGAZINE

By agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Realteqs grants You a limited license to access and use the reviews and ratings offered by the Service for Your personal purchase decisions. You acknowledge and agree that You will not access, reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, re-sell, visit or otherwise exploit for any commercial, educational, or any other non-personal purpose the reviews and ratings and any content, without the express written consent of Realteqs.

10. SUBMISSIONS OF REVIEWS

In order for You to submit Your own reviews and ratings on the Website and in the Magazine, You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. all of Your reviews and ratings will either be based upon: (i) Your actual first-hand experiences with the Service Providers You are reviewing; or (ii) as provided under Section 14 (Service Providers) below, an individual and that individual’s actual first-hand experience with a service provider whereby You have the legal authority to disclose such service or personal information and experience of such individual;
  2. all of Your reviews and ratings of the Service Providers that You are rating will be accurate, truthful and complete in all respects;
  3. You do not work for, own any interest in, or serve on the board of directors of, any of the Service Providers for which You submit reviews and ratings;

  6. Your name and review information will be made available to the Service Providers on which You review; and
  7. Realteqs may redact, delete, or reject Your reviews if they do not conform with Realteqs’s publication criteria, which may change from time to time at Realteqs’s sole discretion.

11. CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROCESS

If You have a dispute with a Service Provider and an active, qualifying Plan, You may request Realteqs’s assistance in communicating with that Service Provider about Your desired resolution (the “Complaint Resolution Process” or the “CRP”).

You may request to participate in the CRP through our Website or by contacting a member care representative. You then will be requested to complete and return to Realteqs certain documentation relating to Your complaint. Shortly thereafter, a member of our Complaint Resolution Team will contact You to obtain additional information and understand Your desired resolution. The Complaint Resolution Team then will contact the Service Provider to explain Your complaint and desired resolution and to ask the Service Provider to respond in writing within a reasonable timeframe.

If the Service Provider agrees to Your desired resolution or supplies a counteroffer that You find acceptable, the case is considered resolved, Your review regarding the Service Provider will be removed, and You will have the opportunity to submit updated feedback about Your experience. If the Service Provider responds but does not resolve the matter as described above, Your feedback shall remain unchanged.

Your participation in the CRP is at Realteqs’s sole discretion. We reserve the right to reject Your request to participate for any reason. By participating in the CRP, You consent to have Your complaint and a story about the circumstances relating to the CRP published in our online publications. For complaints involving service providers and/or within the prescribed requirement pursuant to the law of the country, we may ask You to sign a relevant waiver applicable as per the law to allow the Service Provider to discuss the issue with us.

The CRP is not a legal forum and Realteqs does not, at any time, become a party to Your dispute with the Service Provider. Realteqs is neither a mediator nor an arbitrator and does not provide legal advice or assistance. If You believe legal services are necessary or would be helpful to resolve Your dispute with a Service Provider, Realteqs encourages You to consult with an attorney. Realteqs does not guarantee that Your participation in the CRP will result in a satisfactory outcome or Your desired resolution.

You agree that, by offering the CRP, Realteqs does not waive any of its disclaimers or limitations of liability, including without limitation those set forth under Sections 14 (Service Providers), 24 (Warranty Disclaimer), and 25 (Limitation of Liability).

You acknowledge and agree that, during the Term of your Plan, Realteqs may—in its sole discretion and without notice—change the CRP program, including without limitation, its name, process, and/or function.
