If you do not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, then you cannot participate in the Program and you should not click the "Join Now" or "Create My Account" button to complete the registration process.

This Agreement constitutes a legally binding agreement between C. Millionaire Developments Inc., a British Columbia corporation ("Contest Millionaire"), and each individual who registers in the Contest Millionaire Program, as described below (the "Program"), by completing the registration form on the Contest Millionaire website ("you" or the "Member"). As used in this Agreement, the terms "we" and "us" mean Contest Millionaire, and the term "our" means Contest Millionaire�.

This Membership Agreement sets forth the relationship between you and us relating to the Program. You have to accept the terms of this Agreement in order to become a Contest Millionaire member. By enrolling as a Contest Millionaire member, you agree to these terms and conditions and that your use of this site and your participation in the Program is subject to this Agreement. By clicking the �Join Now�, you also acknowledge that you have had an opportunity to review the Contest Millionaire Privacy Statement or that it has been made available to you.

Membership

Registration. You represent that you are at least 18 years old and are a legal resident of the United States, its territories and possessions (except Puerto Rico), or Canada (except Quebec). You agree that it is your responsibility to keep your Member information current, complete and accurate by periodically updating your information in the appropriate section of our website.
License. Subject to this Agreement, we hereby grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license (without the right to sublicense) for as long as you participate in the Program and adhere to this Agreement, to participate in the Program. You agree that you obtain no rights other than the rights and licenses expressly granted in this Agreement.
Fees and Billing. Contest Millionaire will charge your credit card (or other approved facility) provided to us at the time you registered for the Program or as changed by you through the Contest Millionaire website, to pay for the ongoing cost of Membership in the amount authorized by you at registration, or as changed by you through the Contest Millionaire website. Payment for the appropriate Membership services will be made in advance by automatic debit to your credit card (or other approved facility). You will be automatically charged a for a renewed term equal to the original term and cost upon expiration of the then-current term, and continually thereafter, unless you terminate your Membership in advance of the renewal date pursuant to the process set forth below, or change the term through the Contest Millionaire website. We will automatically bill your payment method each renewal term on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your membership (your �billing day�). In the event your membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we will bill your payment method on the last day of such month, which will become your new billing day. If you are offered a free trial, your payment method will be authorized for up to approximately one term of service at the commencement of the free trial; however, no charges will be made against the payment method unless you do not cancel prior to the end of your free trial. Billing will commence on the day following the end of any applicable free trial period unless you cancel your membership. We may change the amount of the regular membership fee at any time subject to the notice procedure set forth in Section 21.g. You are solely responsible for maintaining a valid payment method on file with Contest Millionaire and for verifying that your membership is paid current at all times. If your payment method fails at any time for any reason, whether or not we choose to terminate your membership, you will not be eligible to receive any of the benefits of membership, including the right as a member to use and access the Contests, earn Referral Cash, or receive entries into any Contest Millionaire Sponsored Sweepstakes or Contests (except entries using alternative methods set forth in the Official Rules of the Sweepstakes) until such time as you provide us with a valid payment method. If your payment method fails, Contest Millionaire reserves the right to re-attempt charges to your payment method for up to 28 days. If such a re-attempt is successful, your memberships benefits will automatically resume, and that day will become your new billing day. From time to time Contest Millionaire may offer prospective members a free trial offer. If a free trial period is offered, a person may sign up for only one free trial. Free trials are only available to first time customers of Contest Millionaire and cannot be combined with any other offer. Contest Millionaire may, at it�s sole discretion, offer additional free trial period(s) to existing or former customers. YOU MUST CANCEL PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL TO AVOID CHARGES TO YOUR PAYMENT METHOD.
Sweepstakes. If you intend to participate in any of Contest Millionaire sweepstakes, you need to review the Official Rules for each sweepstakes because those Rules will govern your participation in the sweepstakes. The Official Rules for each sweepstakes can be found at the Contest Millionaire website: www.contestmillionaire.com
Cancelation. Your Contest Millionaire membership will continue in effect unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it. You must cancel your membership before it renews each term in order to avoid billing of the next term's membership fees to your payment method. You may cancel your membership to Contest Millionaire at anytime, and cancellation will be effective immediately. To cancel, click the words "Don't Renew" in the �My Billing Information" section on the "My Account" page and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you choose to cancel, all your membership benefits will continue until the end of the last day of your current term. If you registered for a multi-month membership term (for example 3, 6, or 12 month terms) and you cancel your membership you may request a refund of the unused portion of your membership fee by calling 1-250-717-6511. Refunds will be based on the number of full unused months remaining in your membership term. FOR MONTH TO MONTH MEMBERSHIP TERMS WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS.
