Guarantee
Featured listings: Your Featured listing will be live and clearly labeled on ToolForTheTask for the full period you buy, and we'll send you a report of verified human clicks at the end. We don't guarantee clicks or sales, since those depend on your offer as much as on our audience. If your listing is down for any part of that period because of our error, we'll add those days back free, or refund the unused share if you'd prefer.
Newsletter slots and classifieds: Your ad runs, labeled, in the issue we confirm with you. If we miss that issue, it runs free in the next one or we refund you in full. Your choice.
