November 21, 2012 (San Diego’s East County) – I am pleased to report that ITEX has taken steps to resolve the conflicts that we previously reported regarding our account.
In an email received today, the company has agreed to refund payments, cease billing for time after our cancellation notice, and provide a generous one-year extension for us to use our remaining credits. ECM has agreed to donate a portion of those credits to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy. We look forward to working with ITEX to find good uses for our remaining credits that will support our own nonprofit media efforts on behalf of our readers.
We applaud ITEX for stepping forward to do the right thing--and we are thankful for their efforts on this Thanksgiving Day.
