ThinkAlchemy Terms and Conditions

For the purposes of this agreement the term "subscription" should be taken to refer to the schedule of payments made by you, the “user”. The term “account” refers to the personal information that are stored and the application of our submission and promotional efforts on your behalf.

1. Your Account

    1.1 Creation – Account creation and activation is subject to the receipt of appropriate payment.

    1.2 Payment – The ThinkAlchemy search engine submission and promotion service starts at $300.00 (USD) per month. Initial billing is submitted upon the completion of the signup process, at which point recurring billing is initiated. All future billings will be submitted on the original signup date in all future months. Prices are subject to change; however, you will be notified with 30 days notice, via your supplied contact email address, of any such changes before they go into effect, and you will be given the opportunity to cancel your subscription should you so wish.

    1.3 Duration – Your account will remain active from the point of account creation to the point at which your account is cancelled in accordance with any of the points detailed in Section 2 (Account Termination).

2. Account Termination

    Your account will be terminated under any of the following conditions:

    2.1 Subscription Cancellation – You may cancel your subscription at any time, either by using the cancellation form located at http://www.thinkAlchemy.com/cancel.php, or by sending us an email with your account information to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Please allow two full business days from the point at which your cancellation request is submitted for the request to be processed, at which point all future billings to your account are terminated. Specifically, to be sure to avoid a future billing, you will need to request cancellation of your account two (2) days before your next date of submission and billing. Please note that the terms "monthly” apply only to the relevant periods in the payment schedule, and not to the length of time which accounts will remain open for. Accounts will be closed upon request for cancellation, regardless of the point in the payment cycle at which this occurs.

    2.2 Subscription Failure – If a due subscription payment fails to be made, your account may be closed. Potential reasons for subscription payments failing include the card number changing, the card expiring, your billing address having changed, or having insufficient funds available. You can update your billing information at any time by calling us at (310) 577-2380, emailing us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with your updated information, or by filling out the form at http://www.thinkAlchemy.com/update_billing.html. In the case that we are unable to authorize a charge, our payment system will continue to attempt charging your card each day. You may receive a warning email that your account will be suspended if authorization cannot be achieved which encloses directions on the methods to rectify the situation and provide us with updated billing information, if necessary. After this point, your account may be terminated within a specified period of time.

It is the responsibility of you to determine if you have the access or ability to upload this newly optimized page to your web site. Though we will assist in the uploading process if we are provided with the necessary FTP information, we are in no way responsible, nor will refunds be provided, if you are unable to upload the newly optimized page, due to reasons of lack of FTP access, integration to a database-driven site, inability to receive the email attachments or other issues.
