Record downloading
As a convenience for the benefit of Subscribers, VentureDeal offers a feature that allows the downloading of certain Records. A Record contains various data in the VentureDeal database at the time of download. Subscriber hereby agrees to download records only through the system download process as provided by the website. Downloading Records outside of the VentureDeal.com or exchanging or selling Records with or to others is prohibited.

Trial use
From time to time, VentureDeal offers certain users ("Trial Users") the privilege of using certain features of the website at a discounted rate or free of charge for a period of time determined by VentureDeal. Trial Users are subject to all provisions of this agreement as though they were Subscribers. Furthermore, Trial Users are prohibited from using other website features as may be excluded from Trial Use from time to time by VentureDeal at it's sole and complete discretion.

Refund policy
After a first full month of subscription, the VentureDeal Refund Policy is based on a combination of (1) the amount of time remaining in a cancelled subscription period, and (2) the percentage of unused transaction record downloads. As a condition for access to VentureDeal, Subscriber agrees to be charged the Monthly Subscription amount until he/she affirmatively cancels the subscription by utilizing the system facility for such cancellation or contacting VentureDeal separately and receiving an email confirmation of cancellation.

Subscriptions
VentureDeal Subscribers enjoy the use of the database, either by viewing Records on their computer screen or downloading them to their computer from VentureDeal.com for performing the downloads.

Subscription details are as follows:

Subscription Cost Downloadable records allocated per period
Monthly Subscription $25  100

In the event a Subscriber cancels a pre-paid subscription to VentureDeal.com before the end of the period, the unused portion of paid subscription will be prorated and refunded to the Subscriber, less a fee for transaction downloads that have already taken place based on the maximum number of downloads allowed with that subscription.

Example
For example, cancellation of a subscription (100 download limit) after 15 days would result in a prorated refund of $12.50 if no downloads have taken place. If 50 (50/100) downloads have already occurred, the refund would be diminished by a factor of .50; if 30 (30/100), then by .30; and so on:

Subscription remaining:
$25 monthly subscription X unused subscription period (.50) = $12.50

Records remaining:
50 records/100 record limit = 50%

Total refund:
$12.50 - (12.50 x .50) = $6.25

Deregistration
A Subscriber or User may deregister his/her account at any time by visiting the My Account section of the website, then choosing the Database Subscription option and finally selecting the Cancel Subscription option. Alternatively, a User may email VentureDeal and request deactivation in writing. As a final alternative, a User may contact VentureDeal by phone and speak to a representative to request deactivation. Leaving a message on a voice mail or other message-storage device is not considered adequate notice.

After deactivation, the deactivated User's personal information will be available only to select VentureDeal personnel for administrative, accounting or legal purposes, including but not limited to fraud prevention, fee collections, dispute resolution, problem troubleshooting, investigation assistance, and compliance with applicable laws, court orders and legal requests.
