The advertisement promises a 30-day full refund. I gave them $49.95 yesterday afternoon for a subscription. This morning at 6:30 a.m. I attempted to sign on and their system rejected my login information. I started an online chat with their customer service (they don't publish a telephone number), and the guy was rude, saying their site was currently "undergoing maintenance" and could not estimate when that maintenance would be completed. He suggested I try to login again in a couple of days. I reminded him I had given him $49.95 only hours earlier, and said I wanted to talk about getting that 30-day refund the website had promised. He said he would cancel my subscription, but he could not refund the money because I had "exceeded the number of downloads allowed" for a refund. (I think I looked at only 3 newspaper articles yesterday.) Then this guy closed the chat box, and has refused to talk to me further. These guys are real losers--don't lose your money like I did!

William,
Our Terms clearly state that if you download 2 or more full quality images that you give up your right to seek a refund and that is what happened in your case. Based upon feedback from customers like you who didn't read our Terms we have since implemented an "I know I am giving up my right to seek a refund." notice when a new member tries to download their second full quality image that must be clicked to continue. Since then I'm happy to say no one is unpleasantly surprised even if they don't read the Terms.

Thanks for trying NewspaperArchive.com. Chris
