If you wish to remove your business from Blue Patch during the year of your membership your fee will not be refundable. 

The annual rental fee must be cleared before the micro site goes live on the website. The micro site template may be uploaded beforehand. The rental period will start from the time the micro site is published online. We will publish the micro site once the Member and the Blue Patch team are satisfied with the content. We may ask you to make changes or we may edit your copy before you go live.

Blue Patch reserves the rights to not publish a micro site until all copy and images meet the correct standard.

The micro site will automatically close at the end of the 12 month period unless the Member wishes to extend the rental period for a further 12 months and has paid the rental fee for the next 12 months. It is the responsibility of the Member to be aware of the expiry date and make sure the rental fee reaches CiW at least 24 hrs before the renewal date. Reminders will be automatically sent.

Members will be offered the chance to upgrade to Enterprise or Patron member. They will have the option to revert from a patron or Enterprise member’ to a Foundation member when their annual rental fee is due.

Please note that the rental fee is non-refundable.

The rental fee covers the annual audit of the renewing member’s microsite by Blue Patch curators.

Your micro site will consist of a template that you can easily upload with your full contact details, your product information and delivery information, logo, web link and images.

Should the content be incorrect or not meet the Blue Patch standard (e.g. the images are out of focus or too dark or the copy contains inappropriate language or is poorly written etc) we will unpublished it and inform the member that they need to make changes.
