If you update your Authorized Payment Method to remedy a change in validity or expiration date, we will automatically resume billing; we may also receive updates on your Authorized Payment Method through our payment service providers and automatically resume billing.

The non-discounted price will be as stated on our website or as otherwise communicated to you at the time of your listing selection (when the discount was offered).

(III) Payment Processing: All payments are processed securely through our third-party payment processor, Stripe.com.

(IV) Collection of Fees Through Separate Charges: Jasmine Directory reserves the right, at its discretion, to collect the total fees owed for services rendered, including but not limited to submission review and discounted listing fees, through separate charges. This means the total amount due may be divided and charged as multiple transactions to facilitate payment processing and account management.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not proceed with your listing purchase.

19.8 Applicability of Terms to Custom Price Offers:

All terms and conditions set forth in the present Terms of Use, as may be amended from time to time, shall apply with equal force and effect to any and all custom price offers made by representatives of Jasmine Media LLC to its customers (including via electronic mail conversation), unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing at the time of the offer. This includes, but is not limited to, any specific agreements or promotions negotiated on a case-by-case basis between the customer and any duly authorized representative of Jasmine Media LLC.

Customers accepting custom price offers from Jasmine Media LLC acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the specific terms of such offers, they are bound by the comprehensive Terms of Use of Jasmine Media LLC as applicable to the standard services and products offered. This ensures consistency in the application of our policies and procedures across all transactions, providing a standardized framework for the rights and obligations of both Jasmine Media LLC and its customers.

The acceptance of a custom price offer constitutes the customer's agreement to adhere to the Terms of Use of Jasmine Media LLC, including any and all amendments thereto, as fully and effectively as if such custom price offer were a standard transaction under the usual pricing and terms. Jasmine Media LLC reserves the right to require formal acknowledgment of these terms as a condition of any custom price offer.

It is the responsibility of the customer to familiarize themselves with the current Terms of Use of Jasmine Media LLC, available on /guidelines.html (aka. THIS PAGE), prior to accepting any custom price offer. By proceeding with a transaction based on a custom price offer, the customer signifies their understanding and acceptance of this applicability.

19.9. Editing a listing

When business owners wish to update their listings on the directory, they have the capability to edit various details of an existing listing through a designated "Edit Listing" option on the website, shown on each listing detail page. This option allows for the modification of information related to the listing but restricts changes to the primary URL. If a change of the main website URL is desired, a new listing submission is necessary. Additionally, any request to modify a listing is subject to a fee, which is not refundable upon payment. This process ensures that updates are made accurately and maintains the quality of the directory's listings.

If a user forgets their password, they can recover it using the email address associated with their listing submission. In cases where access to the registered email is lost, Jasmine Media LLC will not disclose any information for security reasons. To verify ownership and prevent impersonation, the company may request a transaction ID, which should be known only to the person who submitted the listing and Jasmine Media LLC. This process ensures secure and fair usage of the platform.

19.10. Removing a listing upon request

To remove a listing, scenarios include requests by the business owner or an authorized representative. The process likely involves verification steps to confirm identity and authorization to ensure the request is legitimate and to prevent unauthorized removals. This might include providing specific information related to the listing or a form of verification that proves their authority or ownership of the listing.

III. SUBMISSION GUIDELINESS


A. Why is Jasmine Directory different?

The main purpose of Jasmine Directory is to create a user-friendly environment, with high editorial discretion applied to each suggested website, created for those seeking information. We believe this should be the primary motivation for any web directory.

Contrary to the general belief, a web directory should not be just another website allowing a website owner to get a backlink. Such directories violate Google's Guidelines.

B. What websites do we add to Jasmine Directory?

Our editors add new listings to our database on a daily basis. Furthermore, other webmasters are allowed to suggest websites to be added to Jasmine Directory by paying a fee, and, if our editors consider that resource useful for others, they'll accept it.

There is a huge difference between "suggesting" a website to a website directory (because a suggestion is subject to approval or rejection) and "a guaranteed listing".

C. Why can't I suggest websites for free?

The Internet is vast, hosting billions of websites and hundreds of thousands of online businesses. People are mindful about SEO, they read everywhere they need backlinks, they see various metrics like Page Authority or Domain Authority as a divine blessing they must have and so forth.

DMOZ, for example, had over 90,000 editors, and the review process took years.

So, collecting a modest review fee (we have the lowest fees in the industry) ensures the quality of our services (hosting and marketing, paying our editors, adding new content and tools etc.) and on the other hand limits the number of suggestions and indirectly reduces web spam.

D. What kind of websites are added to Jasmine Directory?

Our primary focus is oriented towards providing an excellent user experience. Therefore, we prefer sites filled with unique information, have decent layout etc.

Before approving a resource (website) we visit that website and decide whether or not that resource (product or service) is useful for users.

E. What kind of websites are usually rejected?

Well, it is difficult to name the exact websites we reject. However, we don't accept pharmacy websites (because most of them run illegally), affiliate-only based websites (they don't offer anything unique), redirected websites, websites that sell stolen software, websites whose legitimacy is questionable, etc.

F. How should I suggest my website?

Simply select a category or subcategory that best describes your website's niche and use the 'Submit' link in the top menu.

G. Can I use whatever website title I want?

No. We are all fed up with directories listing twenty 'Best SEO Company – Guaranteed Results | Click Here!!!' entries in an SEO-related category. That is called spam.

Instead, use the official name of your website. We love it, Google loves it!

H. Okay, what about the description?

A website's description should not be promotional and should not urge the user to click, buy, or call. Also, try not to use superlatives like "best", "leading" etc. We want impartiality and objectivity so the user can solely decide where to click. Just imagine a home improvement category filled with ten or twenty "best" businesses offering the same service.

Instead, describe what your website has to offer, what a user can find on your website, specify if you serve only a specific region and so forth.

I. Why have you edited my listing?

Making Jasmine Directory a useful resource requires us to exercise a high level of editorial discretion. So, in some cases, we may modify the title or the description of the suggested website and/or move it to a more appropriate category.
