Payment Terms
1. Who we are
These Payment Terms apply to every purchase made on a website owned and operated by Team Digital Group ("we," "us"), 945 220th Street, Aledo, IL 61231.
They cover purchases on:
- DiscoverQuadCities.com
- CountryLifeToday.com
- ProPagesUSA.com
- ShopByZip.net
- SmartBotBuilders.com
They also cover any Team Digital Group payment link, invoice or checkout page. Each website's own Terms of Use and Privacy Policy still apply to your use of that website. These Payment Terms add to them for anything you pay for.
By completing a purchase, you agree to these Payment Terms.
2. What we sell and pricing
We sell advertising and promotional services for businesses and organizations, including:
- Featured and upgraded directory memberships
- Banner and display ads
- Sponsorships
- Magazine and newsletter placements, including Amplify
- Website design and website chatbots, including SmartBot Builders
- Other marketing services listed on our sites
The price, billing frequency (one-time or recurring) and what is included are shown on the product page, payment link or invoice before you pay. All prices are in U.S. dollars. Prices may change, but a change never applies to a payment you have already made. For recurring plans, we will notify you at least 14 days before a price change takes effect.
3. Payment processing and card statement
All payments on all of our sites are processed by Stripe on behalf of Team Digital Group. We do not see or store your full card number.
Your charge will appear on your card or bank statement as TEAM DIGITAL GROUP (or TDGROUP followed by a short label). This is the same company no matter which of our sites you bought from. Every purchase is followed by an emailed receipt that names Team Digital Group and the product you bought.
4. Subscriptions, renewals and cancellation
Recurring plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period (for example, monthly) and charge the payment method on file until you cancel.
- How to cancel: cancel from your member account on the site where you signed up, or contact us (Section 7). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- After cancellation: your upgraded features stay active until the paid period ends, then return to the free level. You will not be charged again.
- Updating your card: you can update your payment method and download past receipts at any time through the billing portal link in your receipt email.
5. Refunds
| Purchase | Refund policy |
|---|---|
| Recurring memberships and upgrades | No refunds for partial billing periods. Cancel any time to stop future charges. |
| Ads, sponsorships and placements not yet published | Full refund if you cancel before the ad or placement goes live. |
| Ads, sponsorships and placements already published | No refund for the time already run. |
| Charges made in error (duplicate or wrong amount) | Full refund of the incorrect amount. |
To request a refund, contact us within 30 days of the charge. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method and usually appear within 5 to 10 business days.
6. Failed payments, disputes and chargebacks
If a recurring payment fails, we will retry it and email you. If it still cannot be collected, your upgraded features may be paused until payment is made.
If you do not recognize a charge or have a billing problem, please contact us first. Most issues are resolved within one business day, and contacting us is faster than a bank dispute.
If you file a chargeback for a service you received, we will provide the bank with your purchase records, receipt and these Payment Terms. Upgraded features may be suspended while a dispute is open.
7. Ad content, changes and contact
Ad content. You are responsible for the content you submit and confirm you have the right to use it. We may decline or remove any ad or listing that is false, misleading, unlawful or inappropriate for a community audience. If we remove paid content for those reasons, no refund is owed.
Changes to these terms. We may update these Payment Terms. The version posted on the date of your purchase applies to that purchase.
Governing law. These Payment Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.
Billing Privacy Notice
1. Who this covers
This notice explains how Team Digital Group (945 220th Street, Aledo, IL 61231) handles the information collected when you pay us on any of our websites: DiscoverQuadCities.com, CountryLifeToday.com, ProPagesUSA.com, ShopByZip.net and SmartBotBuilders.com.
It also covers our payment links, invoices and billing portal. Each website's own Privacy Policy still governs how that site handles your browsing and account information. This notice adds to it for payments and billing only.
2. What we collect and why
| Information | Why we use it |
|---|---|
| Name, business name, email, phone | Process your order, send receipts, and contact you about your account or a billing issue |
| Billing address and tax ID (if you provide one) | Verify payments, prevent fraud, and show on your invoices |
| What you bought, when, and how much | Deliver the service, manage renewals, keep tax and accounting records, and respond to disputes |
| Card type, last 4 digits, expiry date | Show which card is on file and help you identify charges |
We do not receive or store your full card number or security code. Those are entered directly into Stripe's secure payment form.
We do not sell your billing information, and we do not use it for advertising by anyone else.
3. Who we share it with and how long we keep it
We share billing information only with:
- Stripe, which processes all our payments. Stripe handles your card details under its own privacy policy.
- Our accountant or tax preparer, for bookkeeping and tax filing.
- Your bank or card company, if you dispute a charge.
- Authorities, only when the law requires it.
We keep payment records for as long as you are a customer and for up to 7 years afterward, to meet tax and accounting requirements. After that, we delete them or make them anonymous.
4. Your choices, security and changes
Your choices. You can view and update your billing details and payment method through the billing portal link in your receipt email. You can also ask us for a copy of your billing records, or ask us to correct them. We will answer within 30 days. Records we must keep for tax purposes cannot be deleted early.
Security. Payments run over encrypted connections, and card data is held by Stripe, which meets the PCI DSS payment security standard. Only Team Digital Group staff who need billing records can access them.
Changes. If we update this notice, we will post the new version with a new date.
