| Q: | How To Avoid Pay Site Problems |
| A: | The best way to do this is to read the "terms and conditions." These are usually available during the process of joining a membership to the site. The T&Cs describe exactly what you're buying and what to expect. They often explain how to cancel and under what circumstances you can expect to get a refund. When Sir Randy buys a membership to a porn site, he makes a copy of the T&Cs, just in case he runs into trouble with the provider down the road.

| Q: | What If A Site Doesn't Deliver What It Promises |
| A: | This is a legitimate reason for cancellation. If it is done quickly, your credit card company will back you up, too. The first step is always to send an email to the site itself. You also usually got an 800 customer service number in an email confirming your subscription. These merchants don't want a problem with Visa, and will respond to you quickly. If this is not the case, call your credit card company. There will be very bad consequences for the merchant that bilked you. No one pulls stuff like this and stays in business for long. The credit card companies won't let them. |
| Q: | What If A Site Wants Me To Download Software |
| Q: | What If A Site Won't Accept My Cancellation |
| A: | This is a common question because no one trusts, or expects to get a deal from, an online pornographer. The pornographer appears to be anonymous, taking advantage of the web's stealth quality. Their charges usually appear as a generic acronym like "CC Bill", which adds to the inevitable aura of suspicion. While there is merit in these concerns (largely due to a few, but well-publicized cretins that tarnished an otherwise legitimate industry), thankfully, in this case, your friendly neighborhood credit card company is looking out for you. online merchants who are hit with frequent charge-backs are fined and then terminated by the credit card companies; as a result, these merchants are anxious to resolve disputes with consumers quickly, before the credit card company gets involved. This practice has subsequently purged the bad apples from the porn barrel, and Sir Randy is living proof. He has experienced no problems with cancellations in the process of reviewing hundreds of sites. Please let Sir Randy know if your experience has been different by writing to him at this address: SirRandy@SirRandy.com |
| Q: | What If I Forget To Cancel |
| A: | Sir Randy is often critical of porn webmasters, but in this case, he agrees with them - if you forget to cancel, it's your mistake and you should pay for it. Sir Randy keeps close track of every web site that he joins and recommends that you do the same. However, if you disagree and think that the world owes you a break, despite the fact that you were warned ahead of time, you can always try e-mailing the webmaster and/or billing company requesting a refund. Usually the threat of a charge-back is enough incentive for most sites to refund your money, no matter how ludicrous your claim. However, even pornographers hate to be ripped off and will resist absurd requests to void several months of mistaken charges. Note: Even if you win and get a refund, your credit card will no doubt be added to a warning list and no longer be accepted for online porn. |
| Q: | How Will My Credit Card Company Handle Disputes |
| A: | If you can't get satisfaction from either the online pornographer or the billing company, then you can always do a "charge-back." In order to discourage fraud, credit card companies allow consumers to dispute charges and, in most cases, will allow a refund of the disputed amount. Porn webmasters and billing companies hate charge-backs because they cost the web site extra money (as much as $100 each) and, if there are enough of them, can result in the site or billing company's termination by the credit card company. Porn webmasters hate charge-backs so much that often simply the threat of a charge-back is enough to get them to refund money. Note, however, that if you successfully execute a charge-back, your credit card could get on a black list and not be accepted at any porn web sites in the future. |
| Q: | Learning About pop-ups |
| A: |
 Porn webmasters do pop-up marketing because of the incremental subscriptions and referral fees it generates. In some cases, porn webmasters, hoping for more money, go crazy and connect users to multiple pop-ups, which generate yet more pop-ups, eventually filling your screen with windows. Sometimes the pop-ups windows are positioned so that they're difficult to close. On other occasions, the pop-ups ask you if you'd like to download software that will load yet more pop-ups. In extreme cases, you can get end up in "pop-up hell" where each pop-up will automatically call additional pop-ups. This can actually hang your system.
The good news is that consumers clever enough to let us guide them to the best content and the best deals will generally never see these offensive pop-ups. The trouble begins when you attempt to back out of porn pay site without becoming a member, activating yet another annoyance, the "exit" pop-ups. Sir Randy strives to point to sites in ways that avoid the spawning of pop-ups like so many mushrooms on moist cow manure. Alas, he has little control over your experience beyond these spam-less pages. With few exceptions you will see pop-up marketing tactics on every site Sir Randy's Guide reviews, unless denoted with the following symbol on Sir Randy's review pages:
Believe it or not, much of the traffic and therefore revenue generated by porn sites comes from consumers clicking on pop-ups. If, by some miracle, users stopped clicking, these offensive pop-ups would eventually disappear. As Sir Randy's sainted grandfather, Sir Percy, once said: "It'll stop bleeding, if you stop picking it." |
| Q: | Handling pop-ups |
| A: | If you find yourself in "pop-up hell" the only thing to do is to close all the windows one after the other or turn off your modem (or disconnect from the internet). You can also hit "control-alt-delete" to close down and restart your computer. Long term, Sir Randy recommends that you stay away from "free" sites, directory sites, and "top 50" sites, all of which are notorious for loading pop-ups. If are you are still plagued with pop-ups, then Sir Randy recommends that you purchase pop-up blocking software such as StopZilla. America online and many other internet providers provide pop-up blocking software, which may convince some offenders to stop generating so many of these annoying advertisements.
