Paid Subscriptions Terms of Use

Paid subscriptions to the Wall Street Examiner Professional Edition renew automatically unless canceled by the subscriber. Upon cancellation, future billing will cease, and the subscription will continue until the termination date of the then current term. Subscriptions are non-refundable subsequent to expiration of the risk free trial period as specified on the subscription sign-up page. 

Risk Free Trial
The risk free trial offer is made to individuals as a one time inducement to try the Wall Street Examiner Professional Edition. Only first time subscribers are eligible for this offer. If the subscriber cancels the trial within the specified initial term he or she is entitled to and will receive a full refund upon request. For security reasons, the subscription management software can not issue refunds automatically. Refunds can only be issued upon request by the subscriber, either by phone (561-839-3726) or email, or site contact form. There is no time limit on the refund request, but the subscription must be canceled within the initial risk free specified term to be eligible for refund.

These limitations apply regardless of whether the damages are claimed under the terms of a contract, as the result of negligence or otherwise, and even if we or our representatives have been negligent or have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Under no circumstance will the Wall Street Examiner or any of its respective officers, agents, directors, partners, and employees be liable in any way for any user content or any user’s use or interpretation of the site, content, software, or services, including, but not limited to, for any errors or omissions in or on the site, content, software or services or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the site, content or services.
