Listing Terms

The Hillsdale Business Directory is a paid directory. Inclusion requires a listing plan. These terms cover what each plan includes, how billing and renewal work, and how to correct or remove a listing.

Listing Plans
Featured Enhanced Listing — $499 per year
Placed at the top of its category, above every standard listing, for maximum exposure. Includes business logo, description, address and hours, a clickable website link, and two listing updates per year.
Standard Listing — $299 per year
Listed in its category alphabetically below the featured listings. Includes business logo, description, address and hours, a clickable website link, and two listing updates per year.
Additional categories
Each additional category is charged at the same annual rate as the first.
Review
Every listing is reviewed before publication, usually within two business days. We may decline a submission.
Eligibility
Any legitimate business may buy a listing regardless of city or state, including online-only businesses.
Billing, Renewal and Cancellation
Annual subscription
Listings are sold as an annual subscription, billed once per year, per location. No payment is taken on the listing form — we review your details first and then send an invoice. Your listing goes live once the first payment is settled.
Automatic renewal
Your subscription renews automatically each year on the anniversary of publication, and the payment method on file is charged the then-current standard annual rate, unless you cancel before the renewal date. We send a reminder before each renewal.
Introductory discounts
Any introductory or promotional discount applies to the first year only. Renewals are charged at the standard annual rate for the plan — currently $499 for a Featured Enhanced Listing and $299 for a Standard Listing.
Cancelling
You can cancel at any time, using the link on your invoice or by contacting us. Cancellation stops future renewals. Your listing stays online until the end of the twelve-month term you have already paid for, then comes down.
Refunds
If you cancel within fourteen days of a renewal charge and have not asked us to make changes to the listing in that period, we will refund that renewal in full.
Accuracy, Endorsement and Removal
Launch entries
A number of businesses were added when this directory launched, using publicly available information. Those entries have not been charged and are not paid placements. They may be claimed by the business on a paid plan, or corrected or removed free of charge on request.
No implied endorsement
A paid listing is advertising. It is not a recommendation, endorsement or accreditation of that business by us, and placement order reflects the plan purchased rather than merit.
Accuracy
Details are supplied by the business or taken from its own website, and may go out of date. We do not verify licences, insurance or credentials, and you should confirm these directly with the business.
Correction and removal
Any business may ask us to correct or remove its listing. See Report or Remove a Listing.
Advertising
Banner and sponsor positions
Banner and sponsor advertising is sold separately from listings and priced per calendar month. Three month bookings are billed at ten percent less; twelve month bookings at twenty percent less.
Artwork
Artwork is supplied by the advertiser as a JPG, PNG or GIF file under 200 KB. Animated banners are accepted; audio and pop-ups are not.
