A. Introduction - Acceptance of Agreement

Welcome to the Aplusvideorentals.com Web site! We start every new subscriber relationship with a contract. The following agreement informs you of what service you can expect from us, and what conduct we expect from you.

THIS AGREEMENT governs your use of the Aplusvideorentals.com Web site. By using, visiting, or browsing the Aplusvideorentals.com Web site, you accept and agree to be bound by the Terms of Use. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use, you should not use the Aplusvideorentals.com Web site. For the record, and due legal filing requirements, A Plus Educational Video Rentals, Inc., A+ Educational Video Rentals, Inc., and aplusvideorentals.com are one in the same and herein after will be referred as “A+ Video”.

B. Access and Services

A+ Video is a rental service provider of educational videos (DVD and/or VHS). Our goal is to meet the educational video needs of students through our ever-growing library of videos. You can find the specific details regarding your membership with A+ Video at anytime by clicking on the "My Account" icon.

In order to rent video’s from the A+ Video Web Site, you must meet the following requirements:

· You must have access to the Internet,
· You must be at least 18 years old,
· You must have a U.S. Continental residence with valid Postal Code, and
· You must have a valid Discover, Visa or Master Card Credit Card account.

You control your own account with A+ Video via your “My Account”, and “Rental Queue”. You may change or discontinue your account at any time. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate access to the service on our Web site at any time for any reason without notice or refund. We also reserve the right to delete all data files associated with your account and/or other information you have on our Web site.

Delivery and Return of Rented Video’s: We use the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), postage prepaid, to deliver and return the videos you have selected to rent. Actual delivery times may vary for you depending on (i) our inventory availability, (ii) when you place your order, (iii) your delivery address, and (iv) circumstances impacting delivery by the U.S. Postal Service. We will send you an e-mail letting you know when we have shipped your disk and the anticipated time of delivery.

Cancellations: You may cancel your subscription to A+ Video at anytime. To cancel, click the "My Account" tab and follow the instructions under the heading "Cancel Rental Membership." WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS OR UNWATCHED VIDEOS. Upon cancellation, you will be given seven (7) days to return any outstanding rentals. Failure to return such rentals will result in your credit card being billed for such items.

C. Changes to Terms of Use

A+ Video reserves the right, from time to time, with or without notice to you, to change these Terms of Use in our sole discretion. The most current version of these Terms of Use can be reviewed by clicking on the "Terms of Use" hyperlink located at the bottom of the A+ Video Web site home page. The most current version of the Terms of Use will take the place of all previous versions. Members will be notified through a general E-mail, as allowed, and will appear on your “Rental Queue”. Use of the A+ Video Web site after the changes are made means that you agree to be bound by such changes.

D. Fees and Payment

We will charge you a membership fee as selected and maintained by you (“My Account”). All payments will be done through a Discover Master Card or Visa credit card. You can cancel your account at any time, but you will remain liable for all charges including full monthly charges for the month for which you discontinued service. In the event your membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we will bill you on the last day of such month. We reserve the right to change our fees at any time for any reason, but, whenever possible, we will give you at least one month's advance notice of such change. If you are a monthly member and elect to drop down a level, you will continue to be billed at the higher rate until the number of titles out equals the total titles allowed out at your new membership level. All fees and charges are nonrefundable. If you want to use a different credit card or charging method or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may change your credit card information by selecting the “My Account” button. Annual accounts are not subject to pro-rating. Sales tax will be charged against Georgia Residents and to those members whose States require the collection of sales tax on this membership service. We will strive to identify those additional states as they are identified.

Automatic Renewals: As selected, your A+ Video subscription will be automatically renewed based on the membership interval selected. For your convenience, we will charge the membership to the Master Card or Visa credit card account you provide to us and maintained by you ("my account"). Your membership will automatically renew for successive subscriptions, without prior notice to you, unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You must cancel your membership before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees to your credit card.

Expired or Invalid Credit Cards: The terms we agree with you are dependent on a valid credit card being available for charging each month. Should your credit card expire, or reach its credit limit, we send you a reminder to that effect. If you do not update your card details during the month of it’s expiration and continue to keep your rented disks, you will be charged for the replacement cost of the movie before your card expires. This is to allow us to continue to provide a high level of service to other members. When you update your credit card information and we are able to start your membership back up, we will credit your account for the movies charged and continue with your membership. If you do not update your credit card within 30 days of it’s expiration, we will close your account and you can keep the movies because you have paid for them. We will not refund any money for any DVD found by you after the 30 day period after your card expiration.

Damaged Videos: It is very rare that you would receive a damaged video from A+ Video. If you received a damaged video you must notify us immediately at customerservice@aplusvideorentals.com. Once the video has been returned an investigation will be opened to determine how the video was damaged. A+ Video reserves the right to determine who is financially responsible for the damaged video. At the end of the investigation if you are found responsible for the damaged video your credit card will be automatically charged the retail price of the video

"Lost" videos: A video will be considered "lost" by the USPS if it has taken more than 10 mailing days and the video has not arrived. If an account is not under suspension, additional videos in the customer's queue will be sent immediately. If 18 mail days have passed, and the "lost" video has not yet been "returned to sender" by the USPS, the customer will be charged for the videos. Refunds will be posted should the videos eventually be returned.
