Yes, we charge a nominal membership fee of US$3.65 for each of our chat communities as follows:
We know we are being controversial by asking for membership and registration fees. Even if those fees are nominal in cost. But then, we want our chat community to become known as one of the net's safer places to hang out and meet interesting people. "Identity knowledge" is critically important if we are to provide a secure place to chat for you and your children. We think that we owe it to you to know to whom the memberships and registrations belong. Free chat communities don't know and don't care to know. Many free chat community administrators will tell you there is just too much responsibility that goes with knowing whom it is that frequents their chat rooms. Frankly, it's frightening if you think about it. We have found (after trying many other alternatives) that the best way to learn the true identity of a user is to create a financial transaction. Even if that financial transaction is one so small as to hardly be worth the effort financially it is worth what it yields in information. Remember, we are trying to protect the children first, so identity knowledge here is as important as identity knowledge would be at, say, your school or your day care center. We, like you, want our kids to enjoy and learn from the wonders of the Internet. But, we want them to accomplish that learning in a secure family friendly environment. If you think about it, to enroll your kids (ages 6 to 12) in our KidChatters™ community amounts to a cost of only a penny a day! We know most people think they shouldn't have to pay for anything on the net, especially a chat service. But we also think a "penny-a-day" is a very small price to pay for a very big peace of mind. Moreover, we believe strongly that someone who is serious about wanting a safer and more secure place for their kids to chat is also someone who understands why we must know their true identity Even though the credit card transaction is an important security element, we are not completely dependent on that element alone. To strengthen our identity knowledge we also require each member registering in our kids or teen chat communities to complete a detailed Family Profile. We then compare certain relational information, looking for inconsistencies. To conduct such analysis requires reviewing each and every "Family Profile" manually with newly created end-user accounts. Even with all the sophisticated software used at Chatters™ human intervention becomes essential if we are to keep an eyeful watch for those attempting to defraud or disrupt the system.There is just no software substitute for the human's ability to decipher certain "subjective" information. That's why we also back-up our digital and user profile analyses with a staff of chat room monitors, the Chatters™ "Guardians." They have years of experience monitoring chat room activity and are quite effective at identifying problems early on. For sure, you will find our registration procedures more complicated than those found at the multitude of "free" Internet chat services. But, then, our objectives at Chatters™ are different. Finally, if we find out later that fraud occurred in a credit card transaction we have the excellent resources of our on-line credit card transaction company to pursue the person(s) behind the fraudulent transaction. In the U.S. and most other countries, it is a federal or state offense to commit credit card fraud. If what we are saying here sounds serious, that's because it is. Your children's access to uncontrolled chat rooms is something about which we think you should give serious thought. If you think you might want to try this out but aren't quite sure yet, we also provide a 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you are ready to register now, click here. If you are not quite sure yet, please read on to learn more: Free chat sites don't really care about chat room safety or security issues. They only care about driving in high volume traffic. They don't care to know who their members are. That way, if there's a problem it's your problem. Traffic "quantity" takes precedence over traffic "quality." You and your children are "on your own" when you enter "free" chat rooms. That's why most "free" chat rooms are no longer safe. Because we want to make sure you know we are for real and you are completely satisfied with your decision to enroll in one or all of our Chatters chat communities we provide you with a 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with our Chatters™ chat room services, you can get a 100% refund for your Annual Membership Fee. We know that until you meet the friendly chatters at our site you may not be sure you or your kids will enjoy chatting at Chatters™ So if at any time during the first 30 days of your new membership you become dissatisfied with our chat service, just contact us at chatmaster@chatters.net and tell us you want to cancel your membership. We will issue you a "no questions asked" refund for 100% of the Annual Membership Fee(s) incurred by you. We offer three chat communities at Chatters™:
Each chat community is independent of the other. This adds significantly to the security of each community. Therefore, if you have both kids and teens at home you will need to enroll them separately in their respective chat community, KidChatters™ and TeenChatters™. All adults register in the Adult Chatters™ ChatCom.com™ community. The nominal Annual Membership Fee charged for each chat community is US$3.65. You can register up to five (5) kids in the same family unit in KidChatters™, up to five (5) teens in TeenChatters™. Adult registration is a one-time fee of US$3.65 for each adult user name registered. If, for example, you want to register both Kids and Teens in the same family in KidChatters™ and TeenChatters™ it will cost you US$7.30 total (US$3.65 X 2). The actual cost for each chat community category runs about 1¢ per day. So, for example, a family unit that registers in all three chat communities(KidChatters™, TeenChatters™, and one adult in Chatcom.com™) will cost the family about 3¢ per day, or about 91¢ per month. We know that until you see for yourself that your kids are in a safe chat environment you may not be sure you've made the right decision to enroll them in KidChatters™ or TeenChatters™. So, if at any time during the first 30 days of your child's membership you become dissatisfied with our chat service, just contact chatmaster@chatcom.com and tell us you want to cancel your membership. We will issue you a "no questions asked" refund for 100% of the Annual Membership Fee(s) incurred by you. If you are ready to register now, click here to register now! |
