| Refund Policy | |
| You get a full refund of the $1,000.00 per
day purchase price
if the earthquake values do not fall within the ranges and limits of the
forecast sent to you (by email) or published on the web (if, at your
request). to commence with the incorrect forecast; it is not
retroactive. You must notify
within 3 days of the incorrect forecast of your intent to cancel and
previous daily correct forecasts' fees are not refundable. A sample forecast has the following format and consists of all
three variables:
Earthquake Forecast Time: 12/24/04 +/- 3 days (12/21/04 - 12/27/04) The Sumatra earthquake occurred on 12/26/04, thus this forecast would be accurate. Earthquake Forecast Magnitude: 8.0 +/- 1 on the open ended Richter Scale (7.0-9.0) as reported by any seismological agency at the forecaster's choosing. Since the Sumatra Quake was reported to be an 8.9, 9.1 depending on the seismology reporting services, this forecast would be within the limits and correct. EMSC, the USGS, or Kandilli are usually used in the verification, but others are also used.. Earthquake Forecast Location: 0oN/90oE +/- 15o radius (15oN-15oS/75oE-105oE) The Sumatra Quake epicenter was at 3.3oN/95.98E so the epicenter would fall within the limits of the forecast and would be correct. You get a full refund if all three parameters are not correct simultaneously, to commence with the incorrect forecast and upon notification within 3 days! The forecast will be e-mailed and/or (if at your request) published to the web for the city, region, state or country stipulated in the comments section on the next link. There are no refunds for any other reason. |
