Pre-payment buys you a specific size ad on a specific page for a specific period of time.  If during this time period you want to change the size of the ad used or move to a different page, you may do so for a service fee of $5.00 US.  No refunds are given for downgrades and upgrades must include a payment for the difference of the higher ad rate.

In order to maintain the integrity of our site and to give advertisers equal opportunity to advertise, we reserve the right to refuse more than two discounted ads, especially if your site has a narrow focus.  Our goal is to maintain an extremely professional site and not bombard our readers with advertising.
