Hi btbasty21. We have been around for close to 3 years and have always made it clear that you are purchasing a yearly license. We have updated our software consistently and have many satisfied users. Black Hatters are awesome but as we discovered most everyone here wants something more black hat and easier to use. This is okay! Just because you skipped through our terms of service and were blind to the fact that you were buying a yearly licensed software does not mean you are allowed to make false accusations against us. We have had numerous individuals contact our support and cancel the reoccurring fee. We make it easy to do this. Just because you have forgotten what you purchased doesn't let you off the hook. If you notice this thread is discussing Version 2 which is currently outdated. Version 3 is vastly improved. Everyone who takes the time to learn how to use VMR are very happy with it. I have copied and pasted the reply our support sent you below. The reply is accurate and I have confirmed that EVERY support ticket you sent was answered quickly.
----SUPPORT TICKET RESPONSE----
Hi Anthony,
We looked back at your old support tickets and every ticket you have submitted were responded to professionally and on time. Video Marketing is something you have to gain a knowledge of, as well as a patience for before using a software like Video Marketing Robot. We have constantly updated our software throughout the year and we have recently released Version 3 which is a free upgrade to everyone with a valid license key. The yearly renewal helps us push out these important updates month after month and is a small fee compared to Senuke, etc.
When you purchased initially it clearly stated everywhere including your receipt that this is a yearly license. Our terms of service, which you agree to when you purchase and install our software, clearly explains this in section 5 (
http://www.videomarketingrobot.com/videomarketing/terms.html). It is your responsibility to cancel your subscription before it renews via this support ticket system and this is a policy typical of many reputable businesses such as Skype, Steam and numerous others.
As stated above, we have discontinued the subscription you had for Video Marketing Robot and next year you will no longer be billed for its use. However, the subscription you've purchased remains active until it reaches its expiry date on August 8th, 2014. You will have access to all future versions until the end of your subscription period as well as full support and access to all our webinars.
If you need anything else we are here to help.
Kind regards.

You know what... Because I have such respect for Black Hat World and what everyone here has taught me, what do you think? Let us have a proper discussion on reoccurring charges or online software. As stated above, I know the likes of Skype, Steam, and numerous other companies right here on Black Hat World that will automatically charge for the next months/years fee. It just happens. I have personally paid many SEO companies on here for a month service and I was surprised when the following month I was charged again. I didn't complain. It was my fault I didn't cancel with them and no refund was given. My fault. I contacted the service provided and cancelled any following charges and used the service to its fullest extent until my time was up.
Let us have a proper discussion. Thoughts?
