MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS

Basic Membership includes access to all the features and items listed on the Membership & Kit Information page.  Shipping and handling is N/A as the files will be available for you to download*. 

CD Membership includes access to all the features and items listed at Membership & Kit Information PLUS the latest CD.  The CD includes a copy of the items also available for download.  Handling costs $4.99 for U.S. and most other Shipments (and is already included in the CD Membership price).  Please note, it may take us a few extra days to mail out your CD, and for some reason it may take the CDs 5-20 days to arrive at their destination via USPS. 

Alternative electronic methods may be available (email may be possible if your server supports large messages).

You may upgrade from Basic to CD membership at any time.  The only additional cost is the Handling fee.

FREE ELECTRONIC SHIPPING / HANDLING

Again, please note, shipping and handling is Not Applicable (No items are mailed) for online only access to the forms (Basic Membership), and $4.99 to add an optional mailed standard CD (CD Membership - already included). The method of shipping the optional CD may vary from what is listed as Shipping Information of this listing.   Contact us for International handling charges.

LEGAL TERMS

By placing an order for membership, you understand and agree to the following legal terms:

Once your membership welcome email is emailed from us to the email address you provide, your membership fee and any handling fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.  We do this to protect the integrity of our intellectual material. 

It is your responsibility to provide and maintain a functional, working email address.  You can change your private account email address at any time, but you MUST keep a working email address on your account at all times or forfeit your membership.

Our CDs are send out via USPS to the address provided with your payment.  If we provide you with a faulty CD, or you don't receive the first CD, or the post office destroys a CD en route, we may mail out 1 replacement at no cost to you to that same address at our discretion.  You must contact us within 30 days of your purchase to request a replacement CD.  If you don't receive either CD (and you paid for the CD membership), you'll need to send us a postage paid (by you) padded envelop so we can send out a 3rd CD via another service.  We will do our best to get your CD to you promptly, however, we cannot be held responsible if USPS loses more than 2, because we have no proof that you aren't just trying to get extra CDs out of us at that point.  We have only had 1 member as of 7/2006 that has had this problem.

With this membership, you are officially paying only for a minimum 1 year listing of your business from the date of your purchase.  The other benefits of membership listed (lifetime use of forum/message board, support, forms, templates, guides, tools kit, email alias, etc) are included for FREE with membership, with this strong reservation:

We reserve the right to revoke all or parts of your Membership at any time at our discretion with no refund.  We may do this, for instance, if you do something we deem to be potentially unethical or illegal, or you no longer have a working email address.   You will no longer be able to advertise that you are a lifetime member of PUPS without explicit permission.

You may also request to have your membership terminated at any time.  No refund of any type will be issued.  You must provide proof that you own the membership (email us from the current email address on the account, or email your request with a receipt) before changes can be made to it.

Memberships are nontransferable.  If a business is sold, the new owner must purchase a new membership.

We currently have over 5100 members, and have only ever had to revoke the membership of less than 5 members.   We hope to NEVER have to do that again.  Our members are professionals who strive to help each other and themselves to grow successful pet sitting or pet care businesses.  If you fit that description, please join!  If you do not fully agree to all of these terms, then do not join PUPS.

Most members are processed within 4-8 hours, but it can take up to 24-48 hours to process your membership.  Very rarely does it take more than 24 hours.  If you don't have your forms all ready for your first client, then you are not ready to do any consultations.  Consider rescheduling any that you do have set up.  You'll want to go over your forms thoroughly, decide on an order to present them in, customize them, practice with them, and know what information to obtain from that first call before you even schedule that first consultation.  It really does pay to be properly prepared.

IMPORTANT ORDER NOTES

We VERY HIGHLY recommend that you TURN OFF ALL SPAM BLOCKERS on the SERVER (not just on your PC's email program/Outlook) on your provided email account BEFORE you order and until you receive our welcome message.  Our welcome message includes important login information, and spam blockers often delete all messages from us as spam with no notice to you. 

If you order using one of the following servers without turning off your spam blocker on the SERVER (LOGIN ONLINE - not just in Outlook) before placing your order, all messages from us are especially likely get blocked or be sent to a bulk/spam/junk folder that you do not see on the server:

• SbcGlobal/AT&T -You MUST turn OFF Yahoo SPAMGUARD
• Yahoo.com -You MUST turn OFF YAHOO SPAMGUARD
• Cox.net
• Comcast
• AOL
• Earthlink - You must turn off spam checkers that require us to fill out another form to send you an email.  We will not respond to approval requests.

~~~

Be sure to provide a working email address with your order.  We recommend you send yourself an email before you order to make sure your address hasn't been "temporarily disabled" because it is full.

~~~

We recommend that you consider adding welcome@petsits.com to your address book before you order.

Mailed Check or Money Order

To pay via Check, Money Order, or Cashiers Check, you can send you payment to:

• For CD Membership, the total cost including  handling is $39.94, and be sure to include your full mailing address with your order

Please allow 4-6 weeks for your order via Check or Money Order.  People send fake payments via mail, so we are forced to cash the payment, wait 1 week for the payment to clear, and then wait another 2 weeks to see if the payment is reversed.  We highly recommend using PayPal to send a credit card payment instead, but we understand if you are more comfortable using paper-based payments.
