This document explains the terms of the agreement entered into between you and Campaignary when you use our Services. The Terms of Use form a legally binding agreement between you and Campaignary when you use our Services, and it is therefore important to read this document carefully.
- In some cases, we and other users of our Services may enter into separate agreements in writing providing different or additional terms, incorporating these Terms of Use by reference.

- by manifesting any other action indicating your acceptance of these Terms of Use.
- You may not use our Services or accept these Terms of Use if you are (a) not of the legal age to form a binding contact with Campaignary, or (b) are otherwise unable to or are barred from entering into a binding contract with Campaignary under the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident, from which you are using the Services, from which the Services are being provided to you, or the United States.
- Changes to Services

Such parties may take recourse against each other for breach of contract or any other legal claims using pre-existing legal means.

- Refund Policy
- Refunds may be issued only under the circumstances detailed in this subsection.
- Unexpended credits may be refunded for cash within 30 days of the purchase of these credits, subject to the following specifications:
- Credits are said to be "expended" when they are deducted from the credits available in your account. For example, if a 30 day listing costing 30 credits is purchased, 30 credits will be deducted on the moment the listing is activated. A refund will not be issued for these expended credits, and the listing is entitled to be listed for 30 days. The listing may be removed at any time by the landlord within this 30 day period.
- If a landlord purchases numerous credit packages in connection with a promotional sale, then expends some credits and subsequently requests a refund of unexpended credits, credits purchased at the lower price will be deemed those credits expended first, and credits purchased at the higher prices will be refunded. For example, if a landlord purchases 30 credits for $30, then 30 credits for $25, then expends 30 credits and requests a refund of the remaining 30 credits, the landlord will be refunded $30.
- We maintain the right to refuse you a refund if we believe in good faith that you are attempting to cheat our system such as by claiming a refund for more money than you initially paid, or claiming a full refund despite you utilizing our paid Services.
- In extraordinary circumstances, other refunds may be issued in our sole discretion.
