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 $3.95 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 $3.95 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.
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 on rout, 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.
You will no longer be able to advertise that you are a lifetime member of PUPS
without explicit permission.
We currently have over 3600 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 agree to all of these terms,
then do not join PUPS.
IMPORTANT ORDER NOTES
We recommend that you consider adding
welcome@petsits.com to your address
book before you order.
We HIGHLY recommend that you
on your provided email account before you order and until you receive our
welcome message. Our welcome message includes an important menu image, and
spam blockers (especially Yahoo, Comcast, and AOL) often delete the message as
spam.
Be sure to provide a working email addresswith 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.
Before you order - especially EARTHLINK
users, please turn off any "spam checkers" that require us to fill out another
form to send you an email. We will not respond to approval requests.
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.
PLACE YOUR ORDER & PAYMENT METHODS
We accept Credit Cards via Google Checkout, Credit Cards via PayPal, PayPal Account Payments, EChecks via
PayPal, Checks, Money Orders, and Cashiers
Checks.
For the fastest access, pay with a credit card.
When we receive a credit card payment, or a direct payment from a PayPal
account, we generally send out your information within 12-24 hours.
If you instead pay via Regular Check, Money Order, Cashiers Check, or PayPal
from a Checking Account (eCheck), please allow 3-5 weeks for processing.
Note: We do
not accept credit card numbers directly via email, phone, or mail. You must use
Google or PayPal to process your credit card, or mail in a payment instead.
Credit Card through Google Checkout
Choose your membership option and click Buy Now*:
Comments on 3/19/2007: A few new members reported
that their Google Orders hung before reaching the final page. If we
receive duplicate orders for the same email address, one will be refunded.
If you have trouble with Google checkout, we recommend you use the PayPal
buttons below instead. Sorry for any inconvenience!
Credit Card through PayPal, or PayPal Account Balance Payment
Basic Membership - $29.94
CD Membership - $33.87
You may use a credit card online via PayPal. It's free to pay via
PayPal, and you don't have to join or be a member to pay with a Credit Card. To
pay via PayPal, click one of the buttons below.
To pay with a credit card
without joining PayPal, on the PayPal screen click the "Use your credit card or
bank account" link.
If you have a PayPal account, you must login to pay via PayPal.
PayPal E-Check
You may pay for your membership via a PayPal eCheck. A PayPal eCheck
will be treated like a regular check. Almost always, eChecks clear within
4-7 days and your membership will be processed at that time. But eChecks
can take up to 4 weeks to clear.
Basic Membership - $29.94
CD Membership - $33.87
Mailed Check or Money Order
To pay via Check, Money Order, or Cashiers Check, you can send you payment
to:
Professional United Pet Sitters LLC
(Make check out to this name)
S31 W37515
School Section Lake Rd
Dousman WI
53118-9504
Include a valid, tested email
address with your order. Your membership kit will be emailed.
For Basic Membership, the total
cost is $31.00
For CD Membership, the total cost
including handling
is $34.00, and be sure to include your full mailing address with your
order
Please allow a 3-5 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.
YOUR MEMBERSHIP
After your membership is processed by hand, you will be sent a detailed email with
instructions on how to LIST YOUR BUSINESS yourself in the Professional United Pet Sitters
Directory, how to access and DOWNLOAD all materials available (forms, tools,
documents, information, etc), and how to ADVERTISE AS A MEMBER of PUPS.
