A. The Company provides a platform through which an Advertiser can find a Blogger who is able to provide suitable Posts for the Advertiser’s needs. In order to access and use the site, Advertiser’s and Blogger’s must become a Customer by completing a registration form on the PG website, and they will obtain a unique user name and password details. The Customer can only access the Service through the use of that user name and password. The Customer is responsible for preventing any other person from accessing the Service through the use of their user name and password, and PG reserves the right to suspend access, or change any user name and password at any time. Customer is liable for any acts or omissions committed through the use of their user name and password, even if they did not authorize them.

B. To order Posts, an Advertiser must first transfer payment to the PG account via a bank transfer (not available in all countries), PayPal payment, credit/debit card, or Moneybookers payment. The Advertiser does so only after making a payment to the PG system. The minimum payment is $10 (or the equivalent in other currencies).

C. Advertiser’s provide their requirements for particular Post’s onto the PG website. Blogger’s provide details about their particular blog or website, the sorts of Posts they are able to write, and an indication of how the fee will be calculated.
