MEMBERSHIP PAYMENTS

Membership Payment Provisions

  • Refund Policy: To help keep management and overhead costs low, no refunds can be issued for any reason. However, you can cancel at any time, and not be billed further, from the time you cancel. If a membership anniversary date has passed, we will not issue refunds because a user forgot to cancel membership.
  • Recurring Memberships: All memberships at Giza are recurring. They will utilize the member's initial payment method on the anniversary of the membership, whether monthly or annual, as chosen by the user during the upgrade to full membership. This will continual automatically on every anniversary until the member cancels membership online.
  • Self-Maintenance of Membership Status: The user starts a membership, and the user also cancels it. Membership cancellation does not occur by sending an email asking that it be canceled. Members can cancel their own membership at any time under Membership Settings to avoid further billing.
  • Payment Issues: If Paypal is not working for you or not putting through a charge, contact Paypal. If your credit card is not working, contact your credit card provider. If you believe you were charged in error, contact Giza support.
  • Disputed Charges: A disputed charge is a claim that Giza has fraudulently charged you a fee. Any member who disputes a charge without first working with Giza Support to attempt to resolve the confusion, may have their account access revoked, be banned from the site, and no longer be entitled to the privileges it affords.

  • While we recognize that in any news and opinion discussion site, and there's latitude for a variety of differences of perspective opinion, and interpretation of reality, you may not blatantly antagonize people in the course of expressing yourself.
  • By using or participating in this community in any way, you agree not to be abusive towards any person using this server. You agree not to perform any actions, which cause any of the provided examples of potentially offensive behavior, nor to intentionally harass or abuse anyone in any way we might not have thought to list here. You also agree not to create, send or distribute abusive or harassing emails, instant messages or any other medium, of electronic or physical nature, with the intent to offend or abuse any real person in any manner related to this community or anyone's use thereof.
  • We do not allow any depictions of child pornography, or any depictions of children in sexual situations, not even in a fictional sense on the server, website, and chatroom. We do not allow any use of this server, website, and chatroom to link to child pornography or to facilitate child pornography in any way, real or fictional. Depictions, for the purposes of this rule, including but not necessarily limited to text-based descriptions, written portrayals, and any visual representation. Anyone caught depicting such material will be banned from this server without further warning.

A note on race-demeaning remarks:

Demeaning includes conjuring an image of a given race or ethnicity:

  • utilizing the term in a way that implies that belonging to the group is detrimental or shameful
  • indicating there's one stereotypical behavior for the group
  • indicating that the group is capable of collective guilt, responsibility, or blame as an ethnicity
  • indicating that the group acts as a single entity or organism
  • indicating there's one normative behavior for the group

ACCOUNT SUSPENSION & REINSTATEMENT

On (rare) occasions, we need to suspend a user's account for violations of the Terms of Service (TOS). In even rarer occasions, an account may be terminated. In the case of a suspension, reinstatement is possible. To request reinstatement, file a support ticket, making the request, and follow the process offered. It will usually involve reading and re-agreeing to the TOS, and explicitly the section of the TOS that caused the suspension. These are handled on case by case basis. It's advisable to approach the matter dispassionately and remember that Giza Support is only doing its job and is here for the safety and benefit of the whole community. On the other hand, if the intent is to flout the protocols expressed in the TOS or to lobby for it to be applied to some users, not others, it's best to move on. Favoritism and emotion will not play a role. The terms will be applied as evenly as possible.
