The
gb category is NOT included with any advertising agreement and is used solely at the discretion of the reloadbench.com administrator/webmaster.

section of the site.
The all category is used for all the Reload Bulletin Board
pages.
As of 01/17/09, there are 201,000 plus posts with 6100 plus members that make up the bulletin board.
The board is continually increasing in size as new topics are created throughout the various

Agreement:
Your
account (advertiser) is activated once the payment process is complete. Banners
will start being displayed within one business day of account
activation.
If payment is made (via U.S. Post Office)
in the form of a personal check, your account will be activated once your check clears.
If payment is made in the form of a
Bank Check, Money Order, or Certified Check, your account will be
activated once it has been received.
If payment is made via
PayPal, your account will be activated once a payment confirmation
notice is sent to us from the reloadbench.com PayPal account.
Upon account activation, you
will receive an email with the URL of your Banner Report page. A
username and password will be included, as this is a password
protected directory.
A monthly account starting
on January 1, 2009 will end on January 31, 2009. Adding and removing
banners from the rotation is a manual process and the banner
duration may be extended by a day or two at no additional cost.
There are times when the
server might be experiencing technical difficulties. This is
something that is beyond our control. If the server goes down (for
whatever reason) for more than 1 hour within a one day period, your account
will be credited one day.
The account agreement is
for displaying your banner for a predetermined period of time based
on the advertising package you purchased. There are no guarantees or
promises of a specific number of banner impressions or click-through's. The
statistics of the existing banner impressions and click-through's
over the last year (01/01/08- 12/31/08) are listed below. Please
review them before making any decisions.
Some advertisers may have
several banners created for their site. If your account has a
duration of more than one month, you may change your banner in the
middle of your account duration. Changing banners will be limited to
only once per month. These banners need to meet he same criteria as
banners for new accounts. They would have to first be approved by
the administrator/webmaster, and meet the physical and file size
limits. If you elect to change banners after you account is
activated, you must email me and
include the URL of the new banner.
You may cancel your account
at any time. A refund will be issued for all unused, full months
that remain on your account. All refunds will be mailed via the U.S. Post Office
(return receipt mail) and the payment will be in the form of a U.S.
Post Office Money Order. To
cancel your account, please include your full name and mailing
address in the cancellation email. Monthly accounts are
non-refundable once your banner starts being displayed on the
reloadbench.com web site. All other accounts will be refunded at the
following rates:
Quarterly paid accounts will be refunded $20.00 for each unused
month in your account.
Semi-Annual paid accounts will be refunded $18.34 for each unused
month in your account.
Annual paid accounts will be refunded $16.67 for each unused
month in your account.
Any personal information that
is shared with reloadbench.com in regard to this advertising
agreement is kept strictly confidential. Nothing is shared with any
outside persons or parties, unless required to by law. Your privacy,
and the privacy of all who visit this site are very important to us.
