Depending on the level of service you have been granted, certain services, including, but not limited to, our Premium Links Directory Service, email addresses and/or coupons, may or may not be available to you.

Purchased memberships generally expire 1 year from date of purchase. Complimentary memberships may be removed from the Site at any time.


Coupons

All Coupons listed on this Site are accepted only at the place of business listed on the coupon. Each coupon must be presented at the time of order unless otherwise stated. Coupons have no cash value and are not accepted by Village Resource unless explicitly stated.


Reviews

Business members have the option to display user reviews and comments. Reviews and comments must be posted by actual clients of the business they are reviewing. Attempt to falsely discredit a business by a competing business is a violation of these terms and conditions. Also, at no time, are links, images or any type of HTML tags permitted in a review comment. Attempts to violate these conditions will result in the immediate removal of the comment and repeated attempts may result in the suspension of the user's account.

At times, a malicious user may post inappropriate comments. To help prevent these, we have incorporated a flagging system. Only Website Members may flag comments. After a comment is flagged, it is temporarily removed from the system for review. After review, if the comment is deemed inappropriate, it is permanently removed from the system and the comment poster will receive a warning. If the comment is deemed to be in adherence to our TOS, it will be reactivated and future flagging of the comment will be disabled.

We also recognise that is it possible to maliciously flag appropriate comments. To help thwart this practice, each 'flagger' is recorded. Repeated attempts to flag appropriate comments may result in the suspension of the flagger's membership.


Calendar

Our Public Events calendars, along with our private business member calendars are provided as a public service to the community. Village Resource makes no claims to the accuracy of these events and each event posted to the calendar remains the responsibility of the poster. Some business members have the ability to post events on the Community Calendar. All events posted to the Community Calendar must be of interest to, and available to, the general public. To maintain the usefulnes of our Community Calendars, events spanning more than 10 days, or recurring weekly must not be posted to the Community Calendar. These events may still be posted to the organizations private calendars. Events found to be in violations of these conditions may be removed from the Community Calendar without notice to the posting organization.


In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, Village Resource provides links to sites operated by third parties. Village Resource has no control over these linked sites, all of which have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of Village Resource These linked sites are only for your convenience and therefore you access them at your own risk.
