I used this site to print out a fast resume. The terms were it would cost me $1.95 to print the resume... and if I did not cancel within 7 days I would be charged $39.98 for a membership.

When I went to cancel the membership, I was greeted by a check box that said "I understand the terms and conditions of cancellation" but there is no specific reference to the terms and conditions of cancellation on their site. Even if you attempt to use Google for LiveCareer cancellation Terms and Conditions... you do not get a LiveCareer result.

When contacting their customer support, which is also extremely slow and has zero concern for the customer (I spent 30 minutes on hold asking for a cancellation), I was informed the following

XXXX
21:11:40 You should have contacted us to clarify the terms and conditions of the cancellation
XXXX
21:11:54 No your terms and conditions should be EXPRESSLY VISIBLE
XXXX
21:11:58 Okay, I've set your subscription to cancel at the end of the period so you will not be billed again. I've also sent you an email confirmation for your records.
XXXX
21:12:01 Unfortunately this is a valid charge, and since we already canceled the service. Rest assured that there will be no further charges.

So the only way to know if I'd be charged a penalty for cancelling was to contact them. Because they apparently aren't required to expressly list their terms and conditions of cancellation.

So they get to keep 40 dollars of my money because I printed out one resume from them and their site is expressly designed as membership trap.

DO NOT USE THIS SITE EVER IF YOU HAVE ANY SENSE OF WHAT THE VALUE OF ONE PIECE OF PAPER IS.
