The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) do not call list registry ruleshttps://www.donotcall.gov and various State laws place restrictions on certain types of phone calls.

If permission is not granted, then the solicitation is not presented.
Hot Prospector is in no way attempting to interpret the TCPA of 1991 nor the laws of any State.

If Hot Prospector receives a valid counter-notification, the removed or blocked information will be restored or access re-enabled. The information will be restored in not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter notification, unless Hot Prospector first receives notice from the complaining party that such complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringe from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on this Site.

Material Connection, Good Faith Recommendations and Compensation
Unless otherwise expressly stated, you should assume that all references to products and services on hotprospector.com are made because material connections exist between Hot Prospector and the vendor of the mentioned products and services ("Vendor").
 
Hot Prospector recommends products and services on hotprospector.com based in part on a good faith belief that the purchase of such products or services will help our users.Hot Prospector has this good faith belief because (a) Hot Prospector has tried the product or service mentioned prior to recommending it or (b) Hot Prospector has researched the reputation of the Vendor and has made the decision to recommend the Vendor's products or services based on the Vendor's history of providing these or other products or services. The representations made by Hot Prospector about products and services reflect Hot Prospector's honest opinion based upon the facts known to Hot Prospector at the time a product or service is mentioned on hotprospector.com.
 
Hot Prospector's opinion about a product or service may be partially formed, whether knowingly or unknowingly, in part based on the fact that Hot Prospector has been compensated or will be compensated because of Hot Prospector's business relationships with the Vendor.
 
The type of compensation Hot Prospector receives may vary. In some situations, Hot Prospector may receive complimentary products, services, or money from a Vendor prior to mentioning the Vendor's products or services on hotprospector.com.
 
In other instances, Hot Prospector may receive a monetary commission or non monetary compensation when you take action based on the content of hotprospector.com. This includes, but is not limited to, when you purchase a product or service from a Vendor after clicking on an affiliate link on hotprospector.com.
 
In some cases, Hot Prospector and a Vendor will have a business or personal relationship that does not involve the Hot Prospector receiving compensation related to products and services mentioned on hotprospector.com. However, the nature of the relationship could be seen as sufficient to establish a material connection between theHot Prospector and the Vendor.
 
Because there may be a material connection between Hot Prospector and Vendors of products or services mentioned on hotprospector.com, you should always assume that Hot Prospector may be biased because of Hot Prospector's relationship with a Vendor and/or because Hot Prospector has received or will receive something of value from a Vendor. Therefore, it is in your own best interest for you to perform your own due diligence before purchasing a product or service mentioned on hotprospector.com (or any other website).

Emailed requests to cancel are not acceptable. Customers are encouraged to keep records of all communications regarding cancellation.
Simply canceling the credit/debit card associated with a Hot Prospector account does not cancel the account. Hot Prospector will continue to treat this as an open account and the billing cycle will continue, resulting in a past due account that may be turned over to a third party collection service. It is imperative that you speak with a Hot Prospector representative or submit an online ticket through the cancellation form if you wish to initiate cancelation of your Hot Prospector account.
Finalizing the Cancellation: After a request to cancel has been initiated, you must speak with a member of the cancellation team to finalize the cancellation. Cancellations will take effect on the last day of the billing period in which the cancellation was processed by the cancellation team, subject to the terms of the "Subscription Billing" paragraph above.
Cancellation of an account does not dismiss outstanding invoices or nullify previously agreed charges, such as payments for Faststart Services fees, charged in installments or annual contract charges, portions of which may not yet have been invoiced when you cancelled. At the time of cancellation, any outstanding balance must be settled. All cancelled accounts with an outstanding balance may be turned over to a third-party collection service.

Billing Disputes
Each Hot Prospector customer agrees to provide Hot Prospector 30 days to attempt settlement of any billing dispute before disputing with any third-party credit/debit card company or bank. Should Hot Prospector receive a chargeback from a third-party credit/debit card company or bank on the customer's behalf before Hot Prospector has been given a chance to resolve the issue, Hot Prospector has the right to charge the customer for its time spent in resolving such disputes and any associated fees incurred by Hot Prospector, in addition to the $50 chargeback fee mentioned above. Regardless of the outcome of the chargeback, Hot Prospector retains the right to collect on any Services or fees that are due. Hot Prospector may submit any disputed amounts to a collection agency. Once a chargeback has been received, Hot Prospector has the right to suspend the account until the matter is resolved.

Refunds
Subscription and Service fees, including but not limited to those related to the Faststart Service, are nonrefundable and will not be prorated at any time.
