Membership Categories. Users of the Service may become "Visitors", "Free Members" or "VIP Members" of the Service. Visitors are allowed access to a minimal level of the Service's features and are not charged by us for the use of the features they can access. Free Members are allowed to access more features of the Service than are Visitors, but are not allowed access to all of the features that VIP Members are allowed to access. Free Members are not charged by us for the features they can access. VIP Members are provided with access to additional features of the Service that are not available to Visitors or Free Members. VIP Members are not charged by us for the features that are free to Free Members. Free membership is valid for 1 week. Certain additional features of the Service made available to VIP Members are also free of charge. Certain other features of the Service are "paid features", for which a VIP Member is charged. Fees and Payments. A) VIP Members of the Service are required to purchase "Credits" or "Tokens" in order to use the "paid features" of the Service. Each Full Member is credited with the number of Credits or Tokens purchased. Each of the "paid features" of the Service costs one or more Credits or Tokens to use. Each time a Full Member uses a "Paid feature" of the Service, his account of Credits or Tokens is debited by the number of Credits or Tokens charged to use that "paid feature". B) VIP passes can be purchased by credit card, electronic check, 1-900 number or by mail. When a VIP pass is purchased it is accompanied by a pre-defined number of Tokens or Credits. Tokens or Credits cannot be purchased without a VIP pass and are non-redeemable for monetary value nor are they applicable towards future VIP passes. Tokens are carried over from one month to another but once an account is cancelled the tokens are removed. Should a VIP member wish to change their method of payment, and their method of payment is either by credit card or electronic check, they must cancel their membership by clicking on the TOKENS button. NOTE that by cancelling all accumulated Tokens are lost. VIP pass pricing is posted on the TOKENS page in accordance to the pricing policy of The Service. In addition to paying the published price for a VIP pass with inclusive tokens or credits, the purchaser is responsible for paying all applicable taxes in connection with the purchase of a VIP pass. You acknowledge and accept that any VIP pass bought is to be paid in U.S funds. In addition to paying the published price for Credits or Tokens, the purchaser is responsible for paying all applicable taxes in connection with the purchase of the Credits or Tokens. We reserve the right to change our pricing policy at any time at our sole discretion. We also reserve the right to change the method or manner in which we charge members for Credits or Tokens, or the method of payment, which is acceptable to us, at our sole discretion. C) Once The Service has received your payment, you will be credited with VIP access for the paid amount of time as well as the pre-defined number of Tokens or Credits. Credits or Tokens will be automatically deducted from your account as you use "paid features" of the Service. VIP members are capable of checking the number of Tokens or Credits they have left in their account at any time online by clicking on the TOKENS button located in the menu bar. A VIP Member whose account of Credits or Tokens is reduced to zero remains a VIP Member, but cannot access "paid features" until additional Credits or Tokens are purchased. D) The purchase of Credits or Tokens is non-refundable. Any unused Credits or Tokens will remain credited to your account but will not be refunded if unused, even if you are no longer using the Service. Credits or Tokens will only be credited to the account of the VIP Member purchasing the Credits or Tokens, and to no one else. Credits or Tokens may not be transferred from one member of the Service to another member. E) You agree to pay or have paid all fees and charges incurred in connection with your membership with the Service (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. All fees and charges are non-refundable if used. We may change the fees and charges in effect for using the Service, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance. You also are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access the Service through an Internet access provider or other third party service, including but not limited to telephone charges. YOU, AND NOT WE, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY, WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU. F) Any system error in processing your account is YOUR responsibility to inform the Administration immediately after you receive it. To contact the Administration you need to send us a message from http://support.iwantu.com/contact.love As a member if you fail to inform the Administration you will be charged for the purchased pass.
