Comments & Interactive Features

When visitors submit comments or use interactive features, we may collect form information together with IP address, browser/user-agent information, timestamps, and related technical data for spam detection, moderation, security, fraud prevention, and site safety.

Application, Referral & Contact Forms

Business eligibility, advertising-interest, referral/self-submission, contact, correction, resource, and similar forms may collect names, business names, contact information, website addresses, categories, service areas, descriptions, welcoming practices, referral reasons, package interest, acknowledgments, and other information the submitter chooses or is required to provide. Direct-submit forms may transmit completed information to Pride Town Connect’s website, server, administrative systems, and email systems for review and response.

Referral information may be used to evaluate a business, conduct ordinary business research, request self-submission or clarification, or contact the business. Submitters should provide business information in good faith and avoid unnecessary sensitive personal information.

Wallet Addresses & Blockchain-Related Information

If a future PTC Coin program requires a wallet address or information connecting a wallet to a person, business, account, reward, promotion, or transaction, PTC may retain that information as reasonably necessary for program administration, accounting, tax, compliance, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and recordkeeping. Public blockchain records may remain publicly visible independently of PTC and may not be alterable or deletable by PTC.

Media Uploads

Users uploading images should avoid files containing embedded location data, including EXIF GPS information, unless they intend for that information to be shared.

Cookies & Accounts

The site may use cookies for login functionality, preferences, security, convenience features, analytics, and related website functions. Administrators may access account information when reasonably necessary for administration, moderation, security, technical support, fraud prevention, or platform integrity.

Analytics & Search Data

We may use services such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand traffic, page performance, device/browser type, referral source, search visibility, and aggregate usage trends.

Retention & Requests

Information may be retained for administrative, contractual, legal, moderation, security, customer-service, fraud-prevention, accounting, dispute-resolution, and platform-integrity purposes. Where applicable, users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data, subject to information we are required or permitted to retain.

Security

We use commercially reasonable website security measures that may include SSL, hosting safeguards, firewall/security tools, backups, monitoring, and access controls. No website, email, server, wallet, blockchain application, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Listing Review & Eligibility

Businesses, organizations, advertisers, referral participants, directory participants, and renewal clients are subject to applicable policies and any separate written agreement that expressly applies. PTC may review, approve, reject, pause, restrict, modify, or remove participation when reasonably necessary to address materially inaccurate information, misconduct, category or service-area mismatch, platform integrity, policy violations, unavailable placement, or other legitimate business and editorial considerations consistent with applicable law.

Accuracy & Misrepresentation

Applicants and account holders are responsible for providing accurate, truthful, complete, and non-misleading information. Fraud, impersonation, deceptive conduct, intentional misrepresentation, falsified credentials, or materially inaccurate submissions may result in rejection, correction, restriction, or removal.

After Publication

Business owners and directory participants are responsible for reviewing published information and requesting updates when material information changes. PTC may also correct, update, archive, or remove information when appropriate.

Renewals & Continued Participation

Renewals, featured placements, referrals, sponsored listings, and continued participation remain subject to then-current pricing, eligibility standards, platform policies, placement availability, and applicable written agreements.

Revisión y Elegibilidad

Negocios, organizaciones, anunciantes, participantes y clientes de renovación están sujetos a políticas aplicables y acuerdos escritos correspondientes.

Exactitud y Representaciones Falsas

Solicitantes y titulares de cuentas deben proporcionar información exacta, verdadera, completa y no engañosa.

Propietarios y participantes son responsables de revisar la información publicada y solicitar actualizaciones cuando cambien datos materiales.

Renovaciones y Participación Continua

Renovaciones y participación continua permanecen sujetos a precios, estándares, políticas, disponibilidad y acuerdos escritos vigentes.

Advertising is subject to the application and eligibility process described above, available placement, applicable payment, package scope, current pricing, these Terms, and any separate written agreement.

Current Standardized Advertising Packages

Editorial Relevance & Crossover Placement

Primary-industry and crossover placements are selected according to actual business relevance, service offerings, geography, platform architecture, current package specifications, and available editorial pathways. “Up to” counts are maximum eligible pathways, not a right to choose unrelated industries. PTC may decline or omit a crossover placement that would be misleading, irrelevant, duplicative, unavailable, or inconsistent with platform standards.

Premium Visibility & Banner Inventory

Premium Featured Plus Banners may include premium visibility, homepage or category rotations, and eligible banner opportunities when stated in the current published package specifications or a written agreement. Rotating or premium placement does not guarantee permanent, exclusive, uninterrupted, identical, above-the-fold, or fixed-position display.

Creative, Photos & Publication

Spotlight uses a standardized PTC presentation. Customized editorial development, expanded photography, enhanced layouts, featured placement, metro visibility, premium category positioning, crossover pathways, banners, and homepage rotation depend on the approved package or written agreement.

Typical production and publication may occur within approximately 36–48 business hours after approval, applicable payment, and receipt of complete required information for straightforward placements, but timing is an estimate rather than a guarantee.

Placement, SEO & Results

Placement, page location, category inclusion, metro/regional inclusion, featured positioning, photo count, bilingual pathways, search visibility, display frequency, and internal discovery connections depend on the approved package, relevance, service area, platform architecture, inventory, and availability. PTC does not guarantee a specific search-engine ranking, traffic level, impression count, click count, lead volume, sale, revenue, conversion, or return on investment.

La publicidad está sujeta al proceso de solicitud y elegibilidad, disponibilidad, pago aplicable, alcance del paquete, precios actuales, estos Términos y cualquier acuerdo escrito.

Paquetes Publicitarios Estandarizados Vigentes

Relevancia Editorial y Rutas Cruzadas

Las ubicaciones se seleccionan según relevancia real, servicios, geografía, arquitectura de la plataforma, especificaciones vigentes del paquete y rutas editoriales disponibles. Los máximos “hasta” no crean derecho a aparecer en industrias no relacionadas.

Visibilidad Premium e Inventario de Banners

Premium Featured Plus Banners puede incluir visibilidad premium, rotaciones en homepage o categorías y oportunidades de banners elegibles cuando así lo indiquen las especificaciones vigentes o un acuerdo escrito. La rotación no garantiza ubicación permanente, exclusiva o fija.

Creatividad, Fotografías y Publicación

Spotlight usa una presentación estandarizada. Desarrollo editorial, fotografía ampliada, layouts mejorados, ubicación destacada, metro, categoría premium, rutas cruzadas, banners y homepage dependen del paquete aprobado o acuerdo escrito.

Ubicación, SEO y Resultados

PTC no garantiza ranking, tráfico, impresiones, clics, leads, ventas, ingresos, conversiones ni retorno de inversión específicos.

Payments

Advertising, commercial directory services, sponsored content, renewals, promotional services, and other paid services are due according to the approved package, checkout, invoice, subscription, renewal notice, or written agreement. The no-cost Community Resource Network described above is not a paid commercial directory service.

Applications Before Payment

PTC’s current business eligibility process is designed so applicants may submit for review without payment. Approved applicants may then receive the appropriate package invitation, checkout, invoice, or written agreement.

Spotlight Monthly — Recurring Billing

Spotlight Monthly is a recurring monthly subscription billed on the subscriber’s individual Stripe billing date. The billing date may differ from the first or last day of a calendar month. Unless canceled in accordance with this section, the subscription renews automatically on the next scheduled billing date.

How to Cancel Spotlight Monthly

Cancellation requests should be submitted to Pride Town Connect by email at DrJohn@PrideTownConnect.com or through another published Pride Town Connect contact method. To allow adequate processing time, subscribers are encouraged to submit cancellation requests at least 15 calendar days before the next billing date. Pride Town Connect must receive the request at least 10 calendar days before the next billing date for the request to be reasonably processed before the upcoming renewal charge. Requests received fewer than 10 calendar days before the next billing date may take effect after the upcoming charge and apply to the following billing cycle.

Cancellation is prospective. Unless otherwise required by law or expressly approved in writing, cancellation does not create a right to refund a charge already processed or a billing period already begun. Monthly charges are not prorated for a partial billing period. The current paid period may remain active through its applicable end date, subject to these Terms and platform policies.

Annual Packages & Renewals

Spotlight Annual, Featured, Featured Plus, and Premium Featured Plus Banners are prepaid annual packages covering an applicable 12-month advertising term. They do not automatically renew unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise. Renewal pricing, package names, included features, placement inventory, and terms may change for future renewal periods.

Transition & Legacy Pricing

Eligible prior-price offers remain governed by the written quote, invitation, renewal offer, or transition terms that applied to them. Later renewals, reactivations, and new purchases are subject to then-current pricing and terms unless PTC has agreed otherwise in writing.

Non-Refundable Services

To the fullest extent permitted by law, paid advertising and commercial directory services are generally non-refundable once publication occurs, advertising is activated, editorial, artwork, design, setup, or production work begins, placement or homepage inventory is reserved, renewal processing begins, or services are otherwise delivered or committed.

No refund is owed merely because an advertiser changes its mind, does not use all available features, cancels during an active billing period, receives fewer crossover pathways than the stated maximum because additional placements would not be editorially appropriate, or experiences lower-than-expected traffic, search visibility, leads, inquiries, clicks, sales, ranking, or return on investment.

If a listing, advertisement, or account is removed for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, impersonation, material Terms violations, chargeback abuse, unlawful conduct, or conduct harmful to the platform or community, fees may be retained to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Pagos

Publicidad, servicios comerciales, contenido patrocinado, renovaciones y otros servicios pagados deben abonarse según el paquete aprobado, checkout, factura, suscripción, aviso de renovación o acuerdo escrito.

Solicitud Antes del Pago

El proceso de elegibilidad permite presentar una solicitud sin pago. Los solicitantes aprobados pueden recibir después la invitación, checkout, factura o acuerdo correspondiente.

Spotlight Monthly — Facturación Recurrente

Spotlight Monthly es una suscripción mensual recurrente facturada en la fecha individual de Stripe del suscriptor. Esa fecha puede ser distinta del primer o último día del mes. Salvo cancelación conforme a esta sección, la suscripción se renueva automáticamente en la próxima fecha de facturación.

Cómo Cancelar Spotlight Monthly

Las solicitudes de cancelación deben enviarse por correo a DrJohn@PrideTownConnect.com o mediante otro método de contacto publicado. Para permitir tiempo suficiente, recomendamos enviarlas al menos 15 días calendario antes de la próxima fecha de facturación. PTC debe recibir la solicitud al menos 10 días calendario antes de la próxima fecha de facturación para que pueda procesarse razonablemente antes del próximo cargo. Solicitudes recibidas con menos de 10 días calendario pueden entrar en vigor después del próximo cargo y aplicarse al siguiente ciclo.

La cancelación es prospectiva. Salvo obligación legal o aprobación escrita, no genera derecho a reembolso de un cargo ya procesado o período ya iniciado. Los cargos mensuales no se prorratean por períodos parciales.

Paquetes Anuales y Renovaciones

Spotlight Annual, Featured, Featured Plus y Premium Featured Plus Banners son paquetes prepagados por 12 meses. No se renuevan automáticamente salvo acuerdo escrito separado. Los precios y características de renovación pueden cambiar para períodos futuros.

Transición y Precios Legacy

Las ofertas elegibles de precio anterior siguen regidas por la cotización, invitación, oferta de renovación o términos de transición que les correspondan. Renovaciones posteriores, reactivaciones y compras nuevas están sujetas a precios y términos vigentes salvo acuerdo escrito diferente.

Servicios No Reembolsables

En la máxima medida permitida por ley, publicidad pagada y servicios comerciales generalmente no son reembolsables una vez publicada o activada la publicidad, iniciado trabajo editorial, creativo, diseño, setup o producción, reservado placement o inventario, iniciada renovación o comprometido el servicio.
