What Is Necessary to Have a 10,000 Couples Directory Listing –

First, to create a Directory listing, you will need to subscribe to 10,000 Couples (free). After you have subscribed, click the Directory at the navigation bar on the homepage and choose the category you want to use for your listing. You may edit or update your listing whenever you choose. You are strongly urged to check your listing after you have saved it to ensure it is visibly pleasing and accurate.  Subscribers who visit your listing may leave comments, so you are also encouraged to check your listing periodically. If you have any questions, feel free to email admanager@joined-together.net.

Your listing will automatically expire after 12 months. 

10,000 Couples' editor reserves the right to edit or reject all material for grammar, appropriate content, and length.

RIGHT OF REFUSAL

We are looking for ads with products and services that will enhance our site and provide valid information to our visitors. 10,000 Couples reserves the right to refuse, at its sole discretion, any advertiser or any particular banner or text from an advertiser. Our site is directed at the LGBT community and dedicated to the promotion of healthy and inspiring events, businesses, projects, and products. Advertising from unrelated companies may be rejected, as will ads with excessive animation, as it may cause undue download time for our members. We expect that any advertiser and their banners will reflect a positive professional image. We will not accept ads which we deem inappropriate. Pornography or references to any illegal activity is strictly forbidden on 10thousandcouples.com. All ads will be screened for acceptable/appropriate content and 10,000 Couples' editor has the ultimate right to refuse/edit any ad if deemed inappropriate.
