THE FULL MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP PLAN
Q. Why doesn't your e-mails reach my Inbox folder?
A. The most likely reason for that problem is that you may have some kind of spam guard filter on. Please add our addresses to your e-mail's Address Book in order to avoid this problem.
Q. Do you have a records page?
A. No, and we will not ever create one. We do not see any reason to make our picks public AFTER the events have ended - anybody can do that and make it look good. Making the picks public BEFORE the start of chosen events will render obsolete the entire idea of a subscription based service. And we'll never host testimonials pages either, that's another cheap marketing tool we don't care for.
Q. Do you offer trial memberships?
A. No, this kind of membership is used primarily by users who keep on changing e-mail addresses in order to have access to information without paying the subscription fee. We've explored the idea of setting up weekly trial memberships for a quarter of the usual monthly fee, but we finally have decided to lower the monthly fee to the present value. This solution was also appreciated by our members, so we're happy with it.
Q. Do you have differentiate membership plans?
A. No, we have only one type of membership available and that's for a simple reason - if we can offer our best service for a reasonable price, why cutting it in half or any other way? The best answer to this issue about different types of membership is to have just one kind of membership, complete from the customers' point of view and affordable for everybody. There are websites and businesses on the internet that will charge you more for only one pick than the value of our monthly fee. We think we don't need to differentiate or divide our members into categories - if you've chosen us, you'll get the whole package.

Q. Do you employ third party monitoring?
A. No, we see no need to pay for nothing. As you can see, our only payment method is card payment and we use the services of one or more of industry's leading operators, so customers protection regulations as well as merchant anti fraud rules and guidelines apply. Under the European legislation this represents in itself a greater delivery guarantee than any 'proofing' by another web entity.
Q. How safe is paying to you?
A. We are not in any way involved in your payment operation. We use the services of third party internet payment processors, with secured web pages and encrypted communications (SSL). No actual transactions are processed by us.
Q. How is my provided contact information (email address) secured?
A. Your e-mail address will not be disclosed to third party entities other than our payment providers, obviously. Check our Privacy Policy for further details concerning information protection.
Q. I've signed up for a membership plan, but haven't paid. Where does that leave me?
A. Frankly, that is just half way. Your login information is not processed in any way and no membership is active until your payment is confirmed. Your e-mail address is added to our mailing lists and you will receive some of our general audience materials.

SMS HELPER - THE SMS TIPS SERVICE
Q. How safe is providing my telephone number to your system using the SMS Helper system?
A. Even if your telephone number will be read by our server because it needs to generate the response message for you, we DO NOT associate your cell number with your person or any other form of personal identification. We do not have any interest in how you are as an individual. Your telephone number however can be used to verify any issues you may require assistance with.
Q. I live in a country that is not listed on your SMS Helper page. Can I receive your SMS tips?
A. Unfortunately, you cannot receive our SMS tips using this system if your country is not listed on our SMS Helper page. We're trying to expand this service as soon as possible to an increasing number of countries, so please check back regularly on the SMS Helper page to see if your country was added to our list.

A. The service status on the Tip of the Day page reads 'NOT ACTIVE' while we are uploading some content or updating our servers.

Q. I've sent a SMS message to the shortcode during the Technical Break. What can I do now?
A. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do now. You will be billed by your mobile operator and you'll receive a message that most likely wouldn't contain the tip you wanted. Always be careful to properly observe the Technical Break interval and the SMS Helper status BEFORE sending your message.
