General
Yelp Delete (“company” or “we” or “us” or “our”) and the client (“user” or “you”) enter this contract on our website located at YelpDelete.com (the “Website”). BY USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ARE ACCEPTING ALL TERMS OUTLINED IN THIS CONTRACT AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ THEM ENTIRELY.
Refund Policy
Each of our services has their own specific refund policy. By using our services, you agree to the following refund and cancellation policy:
- Delete
- Refunds: If we are unable to delete the fake, misleading, or unfair review(s) within forty-five (45) days from the time of full payment, it’s free. If you pay for 3 fake reviews to be deleted and we are only able to have 2 deleted within 45 days, you will be refunded for one (1) review – which would be a $5,000 refund (assuming you did not use a coupon code). Refunds are paid by paper check only and mailed via USPS (United States Postal Service). You also have the option to extend the guarantee period so we can continue to work on getting the review(s) deleted without missing the refund eligibility timeframe. *We do not offer refunds via a credit or reversal to your credit/debit card for any reason.*
- Delays/Exceptions: If we have a fake, misleading, or unfair review deleted within the 45-day guarantee and it is reposted, we will have it deleted again for free. Reviews that are reposted are not covered by the 45-day guarantee. Example: If we delete a review on day 20 and it is reposted on day 28, you will not be refunded if we are not able to have it deleted again by the 30th day. Although we will have it deleted again as fast as possible, we can not control when/if a fake review is reposted.
- Disappear
- Refunds: If we are unable to make the specific Yelp URL you signed up for disappear from the search results for the specific keyword(s) you entered when signing up within forty-five (45) days from the time of full payment, it’s free. If you pay for 3 pages to disappear and we are only able to make 2 disappear within 45 days, you will be refunded for one (1) page – which would be a $20,000 refund (assuming you did not use a coupon code and only selected one keyword). Refunds are paid by paper check only and mailed via USPS (United States Postal Service). You also have the option to extend the guarantee period so we can continue to work on making the Yelp page disappear without missing the refund eligibility timeframe. *We do not offer refunds via a credit or reversal to your credit/debit card for any reason.*
- Delays/Exceptions: If we make the Yelp page disappear from the search results for a specific keyword within the 45-day guarantee and it resurfaces (highly unlikely), you are not eligible for a refund for that specific keyword/page. But, we will make it disappear again for free.
Cancellations
After submitting your order, cancellations are not allowed for any reason other than an exact duplicate order. By submitting your order, you agree to pay the full balance listed on your order, including any late fees (should they apply).
Due to the nature of our business, we may be unable to accept certain payment methods you may prefer to use to pay with. If we do not accept your preferred payment method, even if we originally advertised that we accepted the payment method in question, you will need to make other arrangements to submit payment to Yelp Delete using one of our actively accepted methods.
Chargebacks
You agree not to issue a chargeback or start a dispute with your card company/bank within the guarantee period. If a chargeback or dispute is started within the 45 day guarantee period, the guarantee period is paused as the funds are temporarily pulled from our account. Once the chargeback/dispute is canceled – the 45 day guarantee period is reset and begins again after you pay the $250 false chargeback fee. This rule applies to all payment methods including credit, debit, paper checks, and wire transfers.
Example: It is day 25 and you are unhappy it is taking longer than planned, even though we are still within the guarantee period. So you decide to call your card company/bank to start a chargeback/dispute. We receive a notification on the 28th day that you issued a chargeback/dispute. We stop working on your case and provide this refund policy to your bank. Once your bank (or you) cancels the chargeback/dispute and the funds are returned to our account, we will begin working again and the 45-day guarantee is reset and begins again (after the $250 false chargeback fee is paid).
Coupons & Discounts
If a coupon code is used, the total coupon/discount is subtracted from your refund eligibility amount.
Guarantee
Our guarantee starts the minute we process and receive full payment for your order, not when you place your order or make an initial payment (initial payments are applicable to those who are on a payment plan).
Fees
Invoices not paid within 3 days from the minute you placed your order will be charged a compounding late fee of 5% per week. After your order is 1 week past due (7 days), any previous discounts on your account will be voided and re-added to your total balance due. At this point, your 7-day compounding late fee will be based on the new order total. After 45 days, past due invoices will be sent to a collection agency. You agree that you are liable and will pay for the order total plus all collection fees, even if your order has not been successfully completed or even partially completed yet. Your order and all collection fees must be paid before the guarantee period starts. The weekly compounding late fees will continue to be added until the full balance has been paid. Any bounced checks or payments (example: checks drawn on insufficient funds) will be subject to a $100 fee and will be forwarded to collections. Any chargeback/dispute opened within the 45-day guarantee will be subject to a $250 false chargeback fee.
Extended Guarantee Periods
Some clients enter an extended guarantee period of 90 days, 120 days, or 180 days when signing up due to the number of reviews. All terms outlined in this contract remain the same and the only differentiator is the guarantee period if written confirmation has been received by a company official of the specific extended guarantee period.
Transfers
Transfers are not allowed for any reason. If you sign up to have a specific review deleted, you can not contact us after sign up to change it to a different review. If you sign up to make a specific Yelp page disappear, you can not contact us after sign up to change it to a different Yelp page.
Requesting Refunds
If the guarantee period has passed, we were not successful, and you have not received a refund confirmation email – you agree not to hold us liable and further understand it is your sole responsibility to visit the request a refund page to manually request a refund. This must be done within 15 days (not business days) after the end of your guarantee period. Any refund requests submitted more than 15 days (not business days) after the end of the guarantee period are not valid and you will not be eligible for a refund. There are no exceptions, extensions, additional grace periods, or delays to this term for any reason whatsoever. Please make sure you submit the request on time and with accurate information. Submitting inaccurate information will void the request. Once a request is submitted, it can take up to 5-7 business days for it to be reviewed.
Refusal to Pay
We hope it would never come to this. We start working hard on your order immediately after you sign up, even before you pay us. Whatever the reason, some clients decide they aren’t going to pay for their order (ex: some clients try to claim they are the reason a review was deleted or a Yelp page disappeared). Should you decide not to pay your invoice in full (including any & all late fees), you give Yelp Delete (& all associates) complete and irrevocable permission to perform reverse reputation management services on your & your company page(s). This includes, but is not limited to: posting multiple 1-star reviews from various accounts, performing SEO on your negative links to bring them up in the search results, etc… Further, in the rare case we have to do reverse reputation management due to your refusal to pay… you waive any & all legal claims against Yelp Delete (& all associates) including claims of defamation, libel, etc… The following are some examples of “refusal to pay”: 1) You do not respond to Yelp Delete’s debt collection attempts for a period of 7 days (not business days); 2) We successfully complete your order and you do not respond to Yelp Delete’s debt collection attempts for a period of 3 days (not business days); 3) You tell Yelp Delete you are not paying for your order; 4) You reverse a payment to Yelp Delete; 5) You demand to pay by a payment method we can not accept; 6) You claim that you will pay after we are successful; 7) Any other action Yelp Delete, in its’ sole opinion, interprets as a refusal to pay.
