I got caught with this scam, then I read your report. This is an on-line pharmacy that has prices too good to be true. I figured, why not, and began to order a medication.in no section did I see that there was a $19.95 monthly membership fee charged automatically to your card. There was an up-front, $19.95, non-refundable processing fee, but for the discount on the meds and "free" FedX shipping, this non-refundable fee seemed worth it.
Just don't select the box at the bottom that says something as inoccuous as "next", because if you hit that button, you're automatically and irrevocably, it seems, a Subscriber for the rest of your life! Nor did the Terms and Conditions of Membership appear anywhere, which read like something from a nightmare.
Example: #6 states that if you "fraudulently" report your credit card lost or stolen, the one you've used in conjunction with payment to Universalrxfl.com, you will be liable to Universalrxfl.com for liquidated dames of $25,000.00! I'm not kidding!
How ironic that they use the word "fraud" in conjunction with pulling your credit card out of their grasp. Just unbelievable.
Number 7: "Your liability for such charges shall continue after termination of your membership for any reason."
#11: "The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Materials and all services provided by Company is borne by you."
#13: "Any liability of Company, including... Tortuous behavior... Shall be strictly limited to the amount of membership fee paid... For the preceding month." ie. $19.95. (One wonders when this "tortuous behavior" will kick in and what it consists of. The scare I got was torture enough, believe me.)
#20: "The application of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded."
These terms of agreement never appeared anywhere on the Internet page I was stupidly filling out with my credit card number. All I did was click "next, " and the scam began.
The $19.95 was almost instantaneously debited from my account. Consumer, beware!
