The Asj Online Communites Payment Policy

NOTE:  This page has been superceded and applied only to those inidividuals that were members of The Asj site, prior to the convesion from a free, to a paid site.

In an effort to offset the costs of maintaining the Asj Website and online communities, it has become necessary to begin to charge a membership fee.  This fee is only applicable to the Members Only, or Community sections of the A submissives journey (ASJ) website.  The general pages of the site will continue to remain free to access and browse. 

How This will work:  The Community software is currently being updated to reflect the following changes:  Effective immediately, there are now three levels of membership on the site.

Trial Membership:  This is a 60 day membership, that is given free, without charge to all new or prospective members of the Asj Online Community.  The trial membership will have full privileges of the Basic Membership, but will be given without cost or obligation.  Access to voice and/or video chat is not available as part of the Trial Membership.  At the end of the 60 day trial period, the account will be suspended until converted to a paid membership, and is subject to deletion after 30 additional days if not converted to a paid account.

Basic Membership:  The Basic Membership includes access to all portions of the Asj Public Website and Communities.  It includes the ability to post and browse profiles, including the ability to post two (2) profile pictures.  The Basic Membership fee is $2.00 US per month, and must be paid for a minimum of three months ($6.00 US), which equates to $24.00 per year.  At this time there is no advance payment discount, however it is being considered.

Extended Membership:  The Extended Membership includes all the functions and benefits of the Basic Membership, but includes additional benefits such as the 'personal profile page' an Asj email account (if requested), and full chat capabilities.  The ability to upload up to 100 pictures or photographs.  Extended Membership fee is $5.00 per month, and must be paid for a minimum of two months ($10.00 US).  At this time there is no advance payment discount, however it is being considered.

Although no guarantees are made, there are extensive plans in progress to increase the features available to all levels of membership.  Membership fees are NOT refundable. 

PayPal is being used to ensure the ultimate in security and privacy for our members.  If you are unable to make your payment by PayPal, please contact us for alternate payment arrangements.  If your PayPal address is NOT the same as your account email address, please include your Asj account e-mail address in the remarks section of your PayPal Payment or advise us by e-mail that the payment has been made and under what PayPal address was used and what account is to be credited.

This payment procedure is being simplified and will be able to be accomplished directly thru the members only pages within a few days.

Whether you are a member or not donations to support the site are always appreciated.  These donations are used to pay for the basic functionality of the site, as well as to provide upgrades and improvements.  Your donation is always appreciated.

As always, should you have any questions about this policy or anything else regarding the Asj Website or Communities, please do not hesitate to contact us.
