AromaWeb, LLC bases its banner advertising pricing on the forecasted amount of page views expected for page(s) that the position appears upon.

AromaWeb is hosted by an outside hosting company. Although AromaWeb has a magnificent record of uptime, there may be periods where AromaWeb may not be available due to server maintenance, server upgrades, network problems with the Internet in general, etc. It is unfortunate but normal that Web sites do go down from time to time or are inaccessible for a variety of reasons. AromaWeb has included these occurrences in the pricing model for banner advertisements. As such, AromaWeb cannot offer refunds or discounts due to such downtimes. In the unlikely event that AromaWeb is down for a longer-than-reasonable period of time, AromaWeb will extend your advertising term accordingly. This will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Your payment indicates your full agreement to the term(s) and other details set forth on this page, and any additional terms set forth in e-mail messages or on the banner advertising order confirmation form.
