Tested Subscriptions

No. We are not changing the day-to-day format of the site, nor are we moving any existing content franchises or videos behind a paywall. If you don't want to pay for Tested content, your experience will remain the same as it is today. We created the subscription plan because we have great ideas for new additional content, and we need audience support to develop and produce the ideas.

Our premium features include premium content, exclusive access to online and offline Tested events, badges for your Avatar, no banner ads, accces to a Premium member newsletter and more! When we roll out new updates and features for premium members, we'll let you know by posting on the homepage or sending out an email.

If you have ideas for new premium features or a specific video you'd like to see, let us know! Send us an email at tips@tested.com.

Don't worry! We're going to keep rolling out new features for everyone in addition to member-exclusive content.

Costs will never increase in the middle of any subscription term. As is the case with inflation, if our costs increase, we may increase the cost of a membership. If costs increase, we'll notify you via email and private message on Tested prior to renewing your subscription at the new rate.

While the Premium Member program is almost always an annual membership, from time to time, we may offer a subscription that renews from month to month. The main difference between the two is cost. Our annual subscription is discounted compared to 12 months of the month-to-month plan. At other times, the annual subscriptions may also include promotional materials, such as giveaways or coupons that you can use in the Tested store. These promotions are not offered on monthly plans.

Sorry, but we don't offer gift subscriptions at this time. Stay tuned, though, as we are working diligently to bring gift subscriptions back as soon as possible.

If you've had all the awesome exclusive Tested content you need, you can cancel your account by going to the "Subscription" tab on your profile and selecting "Cancel." Future billing will be cancelled immediately and your access to exclusive videos and a bunch of other awesome stuff will stop at the end of the current billing cycle.

Subscriptions go into effect immediately after payment is received and processed.

Premium Content

We're planning on doing a minimum of about 50 premium member-exclusive content pieces (mostly video) per year.

Your membership will fund these videos directly. Expect us to start with a bunch of experimental videos to see what you guys like, including several different Q&A formats, as well as things like Lego With Friends, Unauthorized Movie Commentary, and series like This Old FX Shop. If you have a suggestion for a specific type of premium content, email us at tips@tested.com.

Adam and Norm love the movie commentaries on DVDs and Blu-ray discs, so they've decided to make their own commentaries for movies they love (as well as a handful of films that Adam worked on). We'll deliver these in video and audio formats, so you can download them and watch them in your living room, while you watch the same movie we do.

We plan on creating at least 50 premium videos per year.

No. We wouldn't do that. It's just another way for one of us to share stuff that we think is cool, but may be off topic or inappropriate for the site. We also will use this email to offer key updates on the member program.

You can click the "Unsubscribe" option at the bottom of each email. By clicking "Unsubscribe," your email will be removed from the mailing list. If you have clicked "Unsubscribe" and are continuing to receive the emails, please email us at support@tested.com.

Use this form, email it to tips@tested.com or use a carrier pigeon or something.

Advertising

We'll remove all of the ads that we can, using the technology available to us today. For right now, that means you won't see any banner ads or site skins on Tested. You will continue to see right-column promos for appearances by Jamie & Adam and Will & Norm, since people seem to like them. While premium members-only videos won't include advertisements, the other videos we post on the site may, since they're hosted by YouTube or the AOL On player. Videos we embed from other sites (because we think they're cool or awesome) may include ads as well.

Yes. Since our premium video content is only available to our members, we are using a player that allows us to keep each premium video free of advertising. The rest of the videos on the site may continue to display ads though, because we use YouTube or the AOL player to host them.

Tested.com subscriptions are accessible on desktop and laptop computers, smartphones, and tablets.

Customer Service

For the convenience of our members, monthly members' credit cards will be automatically billed in 30-day intervals at the beginning of each pay period starting from the date of sign up.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB and Paypal.

For your convenience, subscriptions automatically renew -- and your credit card is automatically charged -- at the end of the term. Renewals continue until the user cancels his/her subscription.

We do not offer refunds for either subscription plan. However, if you are currently an annual subscription holder and your credit card gets billed for the next 12-month cycle, you have 30 days from the date of the renewal to cancel and get a full refund. To cancel and receive your refund, email support@tested.com. If your annual renewal was part of a promotion and you receive a refund, you will not receive any benefits of the promotion, including coupons and giveaways.

Your refund should take no longer than 7 business days to be processed and for the amount to be refunded to your bank or credit card account. If for some reason the refund does not appear within 7 business days, please contact customer service at support@tested.com.
