While I have seen some of their websites have the terms on them, the site, which i have put a link to has absolutely NO links to terms, conditions, or a privacy policy, in violation of the law. A company cannot just decide against disclosing terms and privacy policy on their site, whether they want to or not. Sure, if potential customers see what cellulean will do with their information and account number, they'd most likely run screaming, but that fact does not relive cellulean from the obligation of disclosing the terms.
Patrick J. Leddy, the president of this company, really needs to reevaluate his site, and his business model. There are MANY free trial scams out there. These companies are under the false impression that as long as they put terms somewhere, almost always VERY difficult to find, that they have full liberty over your information. That is simply NOT true. See, when a company has the deliberate intent of continuously charging your account, they must CLEARLY disclose the terms to the consumer BEFORE they order. Also, a company needs to remind the consumer of the continuous charging with the invoice as well. Putting a link in tiny font, at the bottom of the website, that leads to another page, where, buried under much other print, usually somewhere in the middle, is the true cost of the product, is NOT CLEAR DISCLOSURE. CLEAR DISCLOSURE WOULD BE USING BOLD LARGE FONT, SO EVEN OLDER PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT THEY ARE GETTING INTO LIKE THIS, PUT BEFORE SUBMITTING AN ORDER IS CLEAR DISCLOSURE.
Comapnies should put this clear warning of continued charges on the same page as the information submission, and placed above the area where the consumer fills out their information.
For the consumer's convenience, i have tracked down cellulean's secret terms:
