DESCRIPTION OF 123WORLD SERVICE

123world Suggest A Site is a fee-based expedited service provided by 123world to consider your web site for inclusion in 123world main directory of web sites located at 123world.com. Inclusion in the Directory is not guaranteed.

In order for 123world to consider your site for inclusion in the Directory, you must submit a valid credit card number as part of the registration form. You agree that your credit card will be charged the then current, applicable NON-REFUNDABLE fee for initial consideration for 123world. If your site is included, you agree that after one year, your credit card will be charged the Recurring Annual Fee for further review and continued inclusion in the 123world Directory. 123world, however, reserves the right to remove your site if it fails to meet the minimum criteria .

The current fee for 123world for initial consideration in the Directory is a NON-REFUNDABLE fee of USD 49
applicable for each web site submitted that does not include adult content and/or services. Your payment only guarantees that 123world will consider and respond to your request within 48 hours, by either accepting or not accepting your site. IT IS THE APPLICANT'S RESPONSBILITY TO KEEP CREDIT CARD INFORMATION CURRENT.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OBLIGATES 123world TO LIST, LINK TO, ACCEPT OR OTHERWISE HOST YOUR SITE ANYWHERE ON 123world OR IN THE DIRECTORY. IN ADDITION, IF YOUR SITE IS ACCEPTED, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OBLIGATES 123world TO PLACE YOUR SITE WITHIN A SPECIFIC CATEGORY OR SUBCATEGORY OF THE DIRECTORY, OR TO PROVIDE ANY COMMENTS OR ANNOTATIONS WITH THE LISTING OF YOUR SITE.

  • The site must clearly define its purpose, products, and/or services;

SELECTION AND LISTING

123world reserves the right to decide whether, where, and how a site is listed in the Directory. If 123world accepts your site for inclusion in the Directory, 123world will consider your preferences, but reserves the right to list your site in any category or subcategory as 123world deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. Once 123world accepts a site for inclusion in the Directory, that site shall be treated as any other listing in the Directory. 123world reserves the right not to include any specific keywords, comments, or annotations with the listing of a site in the Directory.

123world also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove your site from the Directory, move the listing to a different category or subcategory, and change or remove any keywords, comments, or annotations at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to, a change in the nature, business, goods, or services or content available on the site.


FEEDBACK

123world will contact Applicant by email describing whether the site has been accepted or rejected. If the site is rejected, Applicant is entitled to request one reconsideration, or appeal, of the site at no additional charge by sending an email to the address provided by 123world. 123world must receive the Applicant's email within thirty days from the date that 123world transmits the rejection email to the Applicant. If the request is timely received, 123world will again review the Applicant's site and will then notify Applicant of its final decision regarding including the site in the Directory. If 123world reaffirms its denial of the site, no further appeals or submissions will be considered.

PARTICIPATION

If you wish to discontinue participation in the 123world web directory program, you must send a notice to 123world. Please state that you wish to withdraw your site from 123world. To avoid your credit card being billed for the Recurring Annual Fee, requests for withdrawal must be received by 123world at least five (5) business days before the end of the year that you intend to be your last year of participation. The "end of the year" is defined as 365 days from the date that your web site was added to the 123world Directory as noted on the confirmation emailed to you at that time. Once 123world receives such notification from you, your participation in the 123world program will cease and your listing will be removed at the end of the year. If you request that your listing be removed before the end of a year for which you have pre-paid the Recurring Annual Fee, you agree that 123world will not be required to refund any portion of such fee.


APPLICANT PRIVACY

123world maintains information about Applicant on 123world servers, including but not limited to Applicant's registration information. Applicant agrees that 123world may use such information in aggregate form for marketing or other promotional purposes. Applicant agrees that 123world may disclose such information in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary: (a) to comply with the law or legal process; (b) to enforce this Agreement; or (c) to protect the rights or interests of 123world or others; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall impose a duty on 123world to make any such disclosures.
