5. Paid Listings, Pricing and Availability

   1. 1. We may from time to time change Our pricing.  Changes in price will not affect any Paid Listing that you have already purchased but will apply to any subsequent renewal of a Paid Listing or a new Paid Listing.  We will inform you of any change in price at least 4 weeks before the change is due to take effect.  If you do not agree to such a change, you may cancel the Contract as described in sub-Clause 11.5.

      2. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online.

      3. All prices are checked by Us before We accept your order for a Paid Listing.  In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact you in writing to inform you of the mistake.  If the correct price is lower than that shown when you made your order, We will simply charge you the lower amount and continue processing your order.  If the correct price is higher, We will give you the option to purchase the Paid Listing at the correct price or to cancel your order.  We will not proceed with processing your order in this case until you respond.  If We do not receive a response from you within 14 days, We will treat your order as cancelled and notify you of this in writing.
