membership is sold in time denominations ranging from one to
three years. After registration, members receive a WebAssured.com
certification seal for display on their website that incorporates
the date through which membership has been issued. Longer commitments
yield significant cost savings, and the date on a merchant's
seal provides customers with increased confidence in the sincerity
of this commitment.

the Variable portion of membership dues is based on a merchant's
annual e-commerce revenue, rounded to the next highest million.
For
example, a merchant with less than $1 million in revenues
will pay only $180 for a one year membership (or $140 per year
if a three year membership is purchased).
A
merchant with between $8 and $9 million in revenues will pay
$980 for a one year membership (or $780 per year if a three
year membership is purchased).
| A
word about our membership dues: |
Because
WebAssured.com is a system of unbiased self-regulation, it is
supported not by taxpayers, advertisers, or special interests,
but by members of the Internet commerce community. The dues
members pay enable this unique platform for regulation of the
Internet, by the Internet, and for the Internet. By paying their
dues, members not only demonstrate their commitment to treating
customers fairly, but to the support of a free-market system
of regulation that benefits the entire on-line community. Accordingly,
dues vary based on members' ability to contribute to this system,
with smaller companies paying only a nominal fee while larger
companies share more of the cost.
