Refer-O-Matic is a platform. We are not responsible for the quality, timing or legality of content.
We may sometimes make changes to these terms. If we make material changes that adversely affect your rights under these terms, then we will let you know by posting an announcement on the site or sending you an email prior to the changes coming into effect. Continuing to use Refer-O-Matic after a change to these terms means you accept the new terms.

You are responsible for all content posted and activity that occurs under your account. You may not use the Subscription Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.

These guidelines are not meant to be exhaustive. If you find a new and creative way to hurt Refer-O-Matic or our users we may take action to prevent it.
Refer-O-Matic uses PayPal to create an escrow account to collect automatic payments and to distribute rewards to referrers.
If you cancel the Subscription Service before the end of your current term (based on the plan you select), your service will end on the date that you have paid through and you will not be charged again. There are no prorated refunds based on the day you terminate your service. Refer-O-Matic, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Subscription Service, for any reason at any time.

We encourage you to contact us if you have an issue.

Washington law, excluding its conflict of law provisions, governs these terms and all other Refer-O-Matic policies. If a lawsuit does arise, both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in King County, Washington.
These terms are the final word on Refer-O-Matic’s policies.
These terms and any referenced policies are the entire agreement between you and us, and supersede all prior agreements.
