- DESCRIPTION OF FINDCOUNSELING.COM PROFILE PUBLISHING SERVICE
- Find Counseling.com Profile Publishing Service is a fee-based service that allows you to publish details about your private or group mental health practice (the "Listing") on the Find Counseling.com directory (the "Directory") of mental health professionals. Approval of your Listing is not guaranteed. Subject to the terms below, and in Mir's sole discretion, if your Listing is accepted for publication, then your Listing's continued acceptance will be subject to an additional review each year and to the applicable, then-current NON-REFUNDABLE recurring annual fee ("Recurring Annual Fee"). In consideration of your payment and participation in Find Counseling.com Profile Publishing Service in accordance with this Agreement, Mir agrees that its directory team will review your Listing for possible publication, and respond to you within a reasonable time from the date that you submit your profile for consideration. Response times are measured on Mir's mail servers.
- In order for Mir to consider your Listing for publication on Find Counseling.com, 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 expedited review and response. If your profile is published, you agree that each year, your Listing will be subject to an additional review for minimum publishing criteria and your credit card will be charged the then-current Annual Fee. Mir reserves the right to remove your Listing from Find Counseling.com for any reason, in our sole discretion, including but not limited to failure to meet the minimum criteria in section III.A. below.
- The current fee for Find Counseling.com Profile Publishing Service for initial consideration in the Directory is a NON-REFUNDABLE fee of US $300.00 applicable for each listing submitted. You acknowledge that the payment of this fee is for consideration of your listing AND DOES NOT IN ANY WAY GUARANTEE THAT YOUR LISTING WILL BE PUBLISHED ON FINDCOUNSELING.COM. Your payment only guarantees that Mir will consider and respond to your request within a reaonable time, by either accepting or not accepting your listing. You expressly agree to pay to Mir such fee whether or not your site is accepted or denied inclusion. If your practice is accepted for inclusion in the Directory, then your practice's continued inclusion in the Directory will be subject to an additional annual review for compliance with the minimum publishing criteria and you agree that your credit card will be charged the then-current Recurring Annual Fee. Subject to Section I.C. above, the current Recurring Annual Fee is US $300.00. If Mir is unable to successfully charge your card or if the charge is refused, your site will be removed. IT IS THE APPLICANT'S RESPONSBILITY TO KEEP CREDIT CARD INFORMATION CURRENT.
- NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OBLIGATES MIR TO LIST, LINK TO, ACCEPT OR OTHERWISE HOST YOUR LISTING ANYWHERE IN THE DIRECTORY. IN ADDITION, IF YOUR LISTING IS ACCEPTED, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OBLIGATES MIR TO PLACE YOUR LISTING WITHIN A SPECIFIC CATEGORY OR SUBCATEGORY OF FINDCOUNSELING.COM, OR TO PROVIDE ANY COMMENTS OR ANNOTATIONS WITH THE LISTING OF YOUR PRACTICE.
- Please note that Find Counseling.com Profile Publishing Service is only open to mental health professionals or groups that DO NOT ALREADY EXIST in the Directory. Do not submit your individual or group practice to the Find Counseling.com Profile Publishing Service if your practice or group already appears in the Directory. IF YOU SUBMIT AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP PRACTICE THAT ALREADY EXISTS ON THE SITE THROUGH FINDCOUNSELING.COM PROFILE PUBLISHING OR DIRECTORY SUBMIT, YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED THE THEN-CURRENT, APPLICABLE FEE FOR EXPEDITED REVIEW. Nor should you submit change requests to the Find Counseling.com Profile Publishing program. If you need to make a change to your Listing in the Directory, you must log in and use the change form, NOT Find Counseling.com Profile Publishing Service. IF YOU SUBMIT CHANGE REQUESTS THROUGH FINDCOUNSELING.COM PROFILE PUBLISHING SERVICE, YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE THEN-CURRENT, APPLICABLE FEE FOR EXPEDITED REVIEW, AND THE CHANGES YOU SUBMIT WILL NOT BE MADE.
