Title: What does this mean?

What does this mean? (see bold)

ONCE YOU CLICK "PLACE MY ORDER NOW " YOU WILL HAVE IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO AMAZINGWEBSTORES.COM AND WILL BE ABLE TO BEGIN SETTING UP YOUR NEW ONLINE BUSINESS. AMAZINGWEBSTORES IS THE PERFECT TOOL TO START A HOME-BASED INTERNET BUSINESS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CONSUMER TRANSACTION INVOLVES A NEGATIVE OPTION AND THAT I MAY BE LIABLE FOR PAYMENT OF FUTURE GOODS AND SERVICES, UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF I FAIL TO NOTIFY THE SUPPLIER NOT TO SUPPLY THE GOODS OR SERVICES DESCRIBED.

This is on a lot of the CC offers.  I don't mind paying the $2.95 to get $12 but I'm never heard anything about a "negative option".

That was enough to prevent me from trying it. Let me know if you have any success.

I sounds like an offer that automatically sends you items after you order.

i wouldn't trust that.  Unless you know the company and you know what you're getting.

This doesn't sound good. Sounds like a scam in the making.

The offer supply with you stuff like columbia's dvd service and they will continually send them and charge your credit card without your consent, although you agree to it i beleive they are supposed to contact you when you have to make a payment for permission this happened to my girlfriend with a teeth whitening product she easily got the money back by calling the credit card company but you are supposed to withdraw before that could happen be sure you set a reminder for the time being and have theyre number to call and cancel
