To the extent that pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices are offered or promoted on your site, you certify that you are a licensed health care provider or other entity authorised to prescribe, distribute or otherwise deal in such products in the jurisdictions in which they are sold.

We regularly check the availability of submitted sites and as such, sites that are constantly offline or in an unfinished state may, at the decretion of The PHPLDlist, be temporarly disabled or removed completely from our database and search results. This is done to ensure accurate and reliable results when a user searches our site, as well as protect Page Rank and SERPS placements for both your site and ours. If you expect your site to be offline for a considerable amount of time, please contact us and we will suspend your site from our listing until you advise us otherwise. Paid submissions will only ever be suspended and can be reactivated at any time by request. However, The PHPLDlist will endeavour to contact the submitter of these sites well before any suspension takes place.

Please ensure any information you enter into the submission form is complete and accurate. We will endeavor to correct submission errors for paid listings, but free listings will be rejected if too many errors are evident. Although we do our best to check all submissions, we cannot be held responsible for errors in listings that were made when the form was completed.

• TITLE : Must be short and consise. For free submissions, this MUST be your official website ot business name.
• URL : For Free lisings, this must be a generic (gTLD) or country (cTLD) top-level domain. The only exception to this is for pages that specifically for English language versions. For Paid submissions, sub-level domains and pages are allowable.
• DESCRIPTION : Your site description should be accurate and consise with no false claims. For example, if you state "We are the cheapest available", then you should make sure you are.Although not prohibited by us, you should try to avoid quoting prices in your description as your listing would no longer be accurate if your prices change. We reserve the right to remove or disable your submission if it is found that your prices are out of date. While we do accept foreign language submissions, these MUST be be placed in the correct regional category.
• META INFORMATION : When setting custom meta-tags and meta-description, please be aware that these just as important as you main site description.
• CATEGORY PLACEMENT : You must select the category that most closely represents the subject matter of your website. We do add and amend categories on a regular basis. However, free submissions that have clearly made no effort to locate an appropriate category may be rejected (For example, if a Real Estate site has been place in an Automotive category). disable your submission if it is found that your prices are out of date. Foreign language submissions, MUST be be placed in the correct regional category
• EMAIL : Your email address must be live and monitored. Upon submission we send you an email that with a link that must be clicked to confirm your listing. Unconfirmed listings will not be accepted and are automatically removed without ever being seen.

The PHPLDlist currently does not accept free submissions that cloak URLs or utilise a general redirection or rotation service. This includes:

• URL shortening and Redirection Services
• Masking or cloaking of destination

The above services are allowable for paid submissions, providing that the description supplied represents the page or site that is finally opened.

Affilate URL's are accepted as paid submissions only.

If you are a registered user, you can remove your submissions at any time by simply logging onto your account and choosing 'Edit'. There you will find options to remove or change your entry. Any changes will be submitted to admin for re-approval.

We no longer accept requests for removal of links via our contact form, due to the high ammount of non-authorised removal requests that we have received from business competitors. Any removal requests MUST either be requested from the email used at the time of submission, an email from the SAME domain as the submitted website, or via the submit form removal option.

If you remove a paid submission, The PHPLDlist will not offer any refunds, unless a genuine error has occured. We may, at our sole descretion, offer you a refund or the opportunity to submit a new link for free.
