Terms & Conditions

Welcome to MEN4M. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and MEN4M (“we,” “us,” “the Site”) covering your use of our website, directory, forums, messaging, and related services. By creating an account, browsing listings, or using any feature of the Site, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Site. You must be at least 18 years old to use MEN4M, and by using the Site you represent that you meet this requirement. We may update these Terms from time to time; the current version is always the one published on this page, and continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

MEN4M acts strictly as an advertising directory. Our only role is to host paid advertisements created by independent massage therapists. We are not a massage business, a booking agency, an employer, a referral service, or a party to any therapist-client relationship. We do not employ, train, license, supervise, manage, screen, or direct any therapist listed on the Site, and we do not represent or endorse the accuracy, legality, or quality of any listing.

• 2.1All listings are created and controlled by the advertisers themselves. We never verify, and cannot guarantee, the identity, age, qualifications, license status, background, health status, or conduct of any advertiser or user.
• 2.2Any booking, session, payment, conversation, or interaction between you and a therapist occurs entirely and exclusively between the two of you. We are not a party to it, we do not participate in it, and we accept no responsibility or liability for its conduct, outcome, or consequences.
• 2.3Decisions about who to contact, meet, or hire — and all screening, safety precautions, and due diligence — are yours alone. You use the Site strictly at your own risk.

Because we are an advertising platform only, any dispute you have with a therapist or client must be resolved directly with that person. Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, employment, or joint-venture relationship between you and MEN4M.

• 3.1Human trafficking — recruiting, harboring, transporting, providing, obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting any person for labor or commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion — is a serious federal and international crime. Advertising or engaging in it on this Site is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate, permanent removal.
• 3.2Any content suggesting that a person is being trafficked, coerced, controlled by a third party, or is under 18 will be removed immediately upon discovery. We will permanently ban the account, preserve all related evidence, and proactively report it to law enforcement — we do not wait to be asked.
• 3.3We fully cooperate with law-enforcement agencies investigating suspected trafficking, including by providing account records, uploaded content, and communication metadata in accordance with the law.
• 3.4No element of the Site may be used to facilitate the exploitation of any person, including through pimping, pandering, debt bondage, document confiscation, threats against a person or their family, or any form of control over another person’s earnings or movement.
• 3.5Advertisers are independent and are solely responsible for ensuring their conduct is lawful, voluntary, and free of any form of coercion — our hosting of an advertisement is never a representation to the contrary.

• 4.1By accessing the Site in any way, you affirm, represent, and warrant under penalty of law that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher).
• 4.2We may require government-issued identification or other age verification at any time, at our sole discretion, as a condition of using the Site. Refusing to comply results in immediate removal.
• 4.3Therapists must confirm that they are 18 or older before publishing a listing, and must never reference, depict, or advertise services involving minors in any way. Doing so results in permanent ban and a report to law enforcement.
• 4.4Misrepresenting your age to access the Site is a violation of these Terms and may be a crime. If we discover an account held by or operated for a minor, we will terminate it immediately, preserve evidence, and cooperate fully with law enforcement.
• 4.5Parents and guardians: use content-filtering and parental-control software to block adult sites from minors. The Site is not intended for, nor directed at, anyone under 18.

You are responsible for keeping your login details safe and for everything that happens through your account. When using MEN4M, you agree to:

• 5.1Provide accurate, current information when signing up and creating a profile.
• 5.2Keep your profile content legal, truthful, and yours to post.
• 5.3Keep public photos clean and appropriate — no shirtless photos in your main profile photo or public gallery, unless the photo is taken at a beach or pool setting where going shirtless is expected. Public photos are visible to anyone, including minors; revealing content belongs in the members-only private gallery.
• 5.4Treat other members with respect — no harassment, threats, hate speech, or spam.
• 5.5Not use the Site for any illegal purpose, including soliciting or advertising services that violate applicable law.
• 5.6Not scrape, copy, or republish member content without permission.
• 5.7Not share another member’s photos, messages, or personal details outside the Site.

• 6.1When we may ask. In certain situations — including suspected fraud, duplicate or shared accounts, chargebacks or payment disputes, reports from other members, safety concerns, or compliance with payment-processor requirements — we may require you to verify your identity with government-issued identification and/or verify the credit card or payment method used on your account, at our sole discretion.
• 6.2Compliance is a condition of use. Verification is a condition of continuing to use the Site. If we request verification and you refuse, fail to respond, or submit information we cannot validate, we will close your account and permanently ban you from the Site.
• 6.3No refund on refusal. Accounts closed for refusing or failing a verification request are treated as policy violations: all remaining paid time, membership benefits, and eligibility are forfeited without refund (see Section 9, Refund Policy).

MEN4M is a community built on respect and trust. The following behaviors apply to all members — whether you use the Site as a client, a massage therapist, or both:

• 7.1Harassment, threats & hate. Harassing, threatening, stalking, doxxing, intimidating, or using hate speech against any member, staff, or the platform itself.
• 7.2Sharing private member content. Sharing, publishing, or re-posting another member’s photos, private gallery images, messages, identity, or personal details anywhere outside the Site — including on other websites, apps, or social media.
• 7.3Illegal activity. Using the Site to advertise, arrange, or facilitate any illegal service or activity, including anything involving minors, trafficking, or non-consensual acts (see Section 3, Human Trafficking — Zero Tolerance).
• 7.4Fraud & deception. Scamming, phishing, soliciting money under false pretenses, impersonating another person, or creating an account with false identity or age information.
• 7.5Payment abuse. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting our support team, or otherwise abusing the billing system (see Section 9, Refund Policy).
• 7.6Platform abuse. Scraping, spamming, mass unsolicited messaging, using bots or automation, or misusing reports and flags to attack other members.
• 7.7Ban evasion. Creating a new account after being suspended or banned. Every account of a banned member will be terminated, regardless of who created it or when payment was made.

7.8Reviews of Masseurs — Verified VIP Clients Only

Reviews on masseur profiles are a trust feature, not an open comment section. To keep them credible, only registered clients with an active, paid VIP client membership may leave a review on a masseur’s profile. The following are not eligible to review masseurs and cannot submit reviews:

• 7.8.1Masseurs. Therapists may never review their own profile, another masseur’s profile, or a client’s conduct from a review submission — a masseur account, even one that also holds a client role, cannot post masseur reviews.
• 7.8.2Free-tier clients. Registered users without an active paid client membership cannot leave reviews. Reviews are reserved for members with verified, paid accounts.
• 7.8.3Unregistered visitors. Anyone browsing the Site without a registered account cannot leave reviews, and anonymous or “guest” reviews do not exist on MEN4M.

Why this restriction exists. Requiring an active, paid, verified VIP client membership means every review comes from a real, identified member who has skin in the game. It prevents masseurs from manufacturing their own ratings or attacking competitors, blocks anonymous users from targeting or harassing masseurs they have never booked, and keeps fake, retaliatory, and bot-generated reviews out of the directory. It also protects clients: ratings you can trust are ratings that paid, verified members actually wrote.

• 7.8.4Prohibited review conduct. Fake or fabricated reviews, reviews for sessions that did not actually take place, self-reviews, reviews written in exchange for payment, discounts, or free sessions, masseurs creating secondary “client” accounts to review themselves or competitors, and anonymous accounts used to target or harass a masseur are all strictly prohibited.
• 7.8.5Moderation. All reviews are screened by our moderation team before publication. We may remove any review that violates these Terms, appears fake or retaliatory, contains private member content, or targets a masseur with abuse rather than honest session feedback. Members whose reviews repeatedly violate this section lose their review privileges, and may have their membership cancelled and be permanently banned under the rules above.

Consequences. When we determine that a member — client or masseur — has violated these rules, we may immediately cancel their membership, remove their profile and content, and permanently ban them from the Site. All remaining paid time, founder pricing, trial eligibility, and membership benefits are forfeited without refund. MEN4M.com reserves the right to suspend or cancel immediately, and without refund, any member who violates these codes of conduct or fails to adhere to the standards of the Site. Enforcement decisions are at our discretion and may be made with or without advance notice. If you believe you were banned in error, contact support and we will review the case.

Paid memberships and advertising features (such as Gold or Diamond therapist tiers, client memberships, and Spotlight placements) give you access to enhanced Site features for the period you’ve paid for. All fees are shown before you commit, and paid periods are non-refundable except where required by law. Memberships renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date — you can cancel at any time from your dashboard or by contacting support. We may change pricing for future periods, but changes never apply retroactively to a period you’ve already paid for. Approval of new profiles and listings is at our discretion, and paid placement does not guarantee a specific level of traffic, inquiries, or bookings.

8.1Automatic Renewal Timing & Failed Payments

For memberships billed to a card on file, we attempt your monthly renewal charge up to 2 days before your paid period ends so your membership never lapses while your card is valid. If a charge fails, we automatically retry it up to 2 more times over the following 2 days and notify you by email after each failed attempt. If none of these attempts succeeds by the end of your billing period, your membership expires: therapist profiles are automatically hidden from the Site and downgraded to the free Standard plan, and client VIP access is removed. Renewing later restores your profile and features, but expired time is not refunded or credited, and we are not responsible for visibility or access lost while a membership is expired. Keeping a valid payment method on file is your responsibility — update it any time from your dashboard’s billing tab.

8.2Free Trials & Temporary Card Holds

When you start a free trial with a promo code, your card is authorized but not charged — the first charge happens only when the trial ends, on the date shown at checkout. To verify your card, your bank places a temporary pending hold for the membership amount at signup. This hold is not a charge: it appears as “pending” in your bank app for a few days and then disappears on its own without any money leaving your account. Please do not dispute this hold with your bank or card issuer — it is a standard card verification and will never settle as a posted charge.

8.3Why the Hold Happens

The hold is a standard “card verification” step: at signup, our payment processor asks your bank to confirm the card is real, active, and has available funds before it is stored on file for future billing. Your bank reserves the membership amount as a pending authorization to answer that question. This is how nearly every online subscription verifies a card — the same pending entry you would see when a gas station tests your card before you pump, or when a hotel pre-authorizes your stay.

8.4When the Hold Goes Away

The pending authorization typically drops off automatically within 3–5 business days, though some banks keep authorizations visible for up to 7–10 business days — the timing is controlled entirely by your bank, not by this Site. When it expires, it vanishes from your account without any money ever being transferred, so no refund is issued and none is due. If a hold is still visible after 10 business days, contact your bank and ask them to release the expired authorization; if they direct you to the merchant, contact our support team. If you cancel or the trial ends before the hold expires, the first real charge is separate — the pending authorization still releases on its own and only the posted charge actually bills your account.

8.5Upgrades

Switching to a higher tier mid-period (for example, Gold → Diamond) is prorated: the unused time remaining on your current plan is credited against the new tier’s monthly price, you are charged only the difference today, and the higher tier starts immediately. Your billing date does not change — the next renewal simply bills the new tier’s full monthly rate. Free-trial promo codes do not apply to a prorated upgrade (the proration credit replaces them).

8.6Upgrading During a Free Trial

If you upgrade to a higher tier while a promotional free trial is still running, your trial carries over: nothing is charged at the time of the upgrade, the higher tier’s features start immediately, and your first charge happens on your original trial end date at the higher tier’s then-current monthly rate — which also becomes your locked renewal rate for that tier. Your remaining free days are not extended, refunded, or credited.

8.7Downgrades to a Lower Paid Tier

Downgrading from one paid tier to a cheaper one (for example, Diamond → Gold) is scheduled for your next renewal rather than charged immediately. Nothing is charged when you schedule the downgrade, no new checkout is required, and your card on file is simply billed the lower tier’s rate at your next renewal — at which point your account switches automatically. You keep every feature of your current tier until the period you already paid for ends. You may cancel a scheduled downgrade at any time before that renewal date and remain on your current plan at its current rate.

8.8Downgrades to the Free Standard Plan

Downgrading to Standard (cancel your paid plan) works as a cancellation at period end: all future charges stop immediately, but you keep every feature of your paid tier until the end of the period you already paid for, after which your account automatically drops to Standard. No partial refund is issued for the remaining time — you keep the access instead.

Client VIP memberships follow these same rules. Prices shown are the current monthly rates ($9.95 Gold, $19.95 Diamond); we may change rates for future periods at any time, and the price shown at checkout always governs the period you are purchasing.

8.9Billing Entity & Statement Descriptor

All payments for MEN4M memberships and advertising are processed by PL Media Services, our authorized payment and billing entity. Charges will appear on your credit card or bank statement as PL Media Services — not as “MEN4M.” If you see a charge from PL Media Services, it is from this Site. Do not dispute or charge back a charge you do not recognize before first contacting our support team, who will identify the charge for you.

• 9.1No refunds for unused time. If you cancel your membership, Spotlight ad, or any paid feature mid-period, you keep access until the end of the paid period — but the remaining time is not refundable, transferable, or convertible to credit.
• 9.2No refunds for profile approval decisions. Payment does not guarantee approval. If a profile is rejected for violating these Terms, the law, or our content standards (including Section 5, Accounts & Acceptable Use), no refund is owed — review the rules before paying.
• 9.3No refunds for account termination. Accounts suspended or terminated for violating these Terms forfeit all paid time immediately, with no refund.
• 9.4No refunds for performance. Paid placement does not guarantee traffic, inquiries, bookings, or income. We sell advertising space, not results.
• 9.5Trials and promotions. Free-trial days granted through promotional codes are provided as-is. If you keep the membership past the trial, the paid period begins immediately and is subject to this no-refund policy.
• 9.6Card-on-file billing. If you authorized us to charge a card on file, recurring charges continue until you cancel. Cancelling stops future charges only — it never entitles you to a refund of charges already made, including charges that posted before we processed your cancellation request.
• 9.7Your sole remedy is cancellation. The exclusive remedy for any dissatisfaction is to cancel so you are not charged again. Any refund issued despite this policy is at our sole discretion and creates no obligation toward any other member.

Before any payment can be submitted, every member — client or masseur — is required to check an agreement box confirming that they have read and accepted these Terms & Conditions, alongside the separate charge authorization. You cannot complete a purchase on MEN4M without affirming this agreement.

By checking that box and submitting payment for any membership, tier upgrade, client membership, or advertising feature, you affirm and acknowledge that:

• 10.1You read and agreed to these Terms in full before your payment was submitted, including Section 7 (Rules of Behavior), Section 9 (Refund Policy), and Section 8 (billing rules for upgrades and downgrades).
• 10.2Your payment is made knowingly and voluntarily, for a defined period of access to advertising and platform features as described in these Terms.
• 10.3You release all claims and recourse against MEN4M and its payment and billing entity, PL Media Services, arising out of or relating to your payment or membership — including claims for refunds, credits, prorated amounts, unused time, chargebacks, or performance outcomes — except where such a release is prohibited by applicable law.
• 10.4Your sole remedy for any dissatisfaction is cancellation of future charges, as described in Section 9 (Refund Policy).
• 10.5This agreement and release forms part of these Terms and is binding on all members — clients and masseurs alike.

If you did not agree to these Terms, do not submit payment. Submitting a payment on MEN4M constitutes your signed, affirmative consent to this agreement and release.

Members who join MEN4M during the founding class receive founder pricing on their membership tier — the monthly rate they signed up at during the founding window. Founder pricing is a limited-time reward for early members and is governed by the following rules:

• 11.1Continuous membership. Your founder rate stays locked for life as long as your membership remains active — meaning auto-renewal stays on, payments are not interrupted, and you do not cancel. Future general price increases will never apply to you while your membership stays active.
• 11.2The 30-day rule. If you cancel your membership (or it lapses for non-payment), you have a 30-day grace period from the cancellation or lapse date. If you reactivate your membership within those 30 days, you keep your founder pricing.
• 11.3Coming back after 30 days. If more than 30 days pass before you rejoin, your founder pricing is permanently forfeited, and any new membership will be billed at whatever the current rates are at that time — for that tier and any other tier.
• 11.4Tier changes. Founder pricing applies to the membership tier you originally subscribed to. If you later switch to a different tier, that new tier is billed at its current pricing at the time of the switch.
• 11.5Personal and non-transferable. Founder pricing is tied to your individual account and cannot be transferred, sold, or applied to another person or account.
• 11.6Good standing required. Accounts that are suspended or terminated for violating these Terms forfeit founder pricing, and any future rejoin is at current rates.

Founding spots are limited, and the founding window may close at any time. Joining during the window with a completed membership is what locks your rate — cancelling later and rejoining after the grace period is treated exactly like a new signup at current pricing.

You keep ownership of everything you upload — photos, text, reviews, and forum posts. By posting content on MEN4M, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display it on the Site and in our marketing while your content remains posted. You confirm you have the rights to everything you upload, including permission from anyone appearing in your photos. If you delete content or your account, we will stop displaying it, though copies may persist briefly in backups and caches. We may remove content that violates these Terms or the law.

Content moderation. You acknowledge and agree that MEN4M may remove any photo you upload — including profile, gallery, private gallery, or verification photos — at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. Likewise, if any bio or profile text is deemed to violate these Terms, our content standards, or the law, we may edit or replace it directly rather than removing your entire listing. Removal or editing of content under this section is not a refund trigger, and does not entitle you to any credit or compensation for the affected period.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MEN4M is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site — including losses related to bookings, payments, or interactions with other members. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. You can stop using MEN4M at any time by deleting your account, and we may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at our principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

If anything in these Terms is unclear, reach us via the support form and we’ll do our best to explain it in plain language. This page is provided for general information and does not constitute legal advice.
