6. Listings
6.1 If you would like to advertise in the Landscaping Directory the Company offers three types of listing:
Basic Listing - Free
Premium Listing - £100.00
B2B listing - £150.00
6.2 The Company is not registered for VAT and no VAT is payable on the above charges.
6.3 Your chosen type of listing will determine the number of categories you can appear in as follows:
6.3.1 a Basic Listing will allow you to appear in one relevant category;
6.3.2 a Premium Listing will allow you to appear in multiple relevant categories for a specific geographical location and your listing will only be displayed in the results of searches of the postcode prefix for that location.
6.4 You shall only be entitled to one Basic Listing. If you have purchased a Basic Listing and would like to appear in more that one relevant category you will be required to upgrade to a Premium Listing. If you attempt to purchase another Basic Listing your application will be refused by the Company.
6.5 You are only entitled to select a B2B Listing if you mainly deal with other businesses, which means that the majority of the services you provide, or the goods you sell, must be to other businesses and not to the general public. A B2B Listing appears on its own page and there is therefore no need to select any categories.
6.6 The Company shall only accept applications for listings from businesses based in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands and shall be entitled to reject any applications from business based in any other country including the Republic of Ireland.
7. Listing categories
7.1 You must choose categories that are relevant to your primary business activity.
7.2 The Company is entitled, at its sole discretion, to move your listing from any of the categories you select to any alternative category in order to ensure that the Landscaping Directory is accurate.
7.3 If there is no category relevant to your business the Company will determine whether there is sufficient demand for a new category and then shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to:
7.3.1 create such a new category; or
7.3.2 decline your request for a listing.
8. Payment, activation and cancellation
8.1 Once you have applied for a listing on this Website, unless you have chosen a Basic Listing, you will be:
8.1.1 provided with a summary of the type of listing and categories that you have selected; and
8.1.2 given the choice to pay the relevant charges for your choice of listing by cheque or BACS transfer, in which case the Company will send you an invoice by post within seven working days, or by credit or debit card, in which case the transaction will be processed securely by PayPal and you should direct any payment queries to them.
8.2 Once you have chosen how you wish to pay in accordance with paragraph 8.1.2 above, you will be provided with a confirmation of your purchase and then sent an automated e-mail setting out all the information you have provided to the Company.
8.3 If you decide to pay by cheque or BACS transfer you shall pay the charges set out in the invoice within 30 days of the Company's invoice. Your listing will not be activated until the Company has received payment in full.
8.4 Subject to paragraph 8.5 below, if you have selected a Basic Listing, or once the process set out in paragraphs 8.1 and 8.2 above has been completed, your choice of listing and categories will be reviewed by the Company and then activated within 48 hours of the Company receiving payment in full for the listing you have selected. Once your listing has been activated the Company will send you an automated e-mail confirming the same.
8.5 The Company shall be entitled to refuse any application for a listing in the Landscaping Directory. If the Company refuses your application it shall send you an e-mail confirming the same and refund any monies you have already paid in respect of such application. For the avoidance of doubt, no valid contract shall come into existence between you and the Company until your listing has been activated.
8.6 You have the right to cancel any listing within 30 days from the date that your listing is activated. If you cancel within this period you shall be entitled to a full refund. The Company will not provide any refund for any cancellation outside this 30 day period.
