Stay away! This company is not what it once was. I've been with Music Gateway for a long time, and they used to have very nice opportunities. Things started to smell fishy a couple years back. There was a VERY SPECIFIC movie sync opportunity for a very specific cover in a very short time frame that I happened to have and tailored exactly to their requests, all professionally recorded, mixed and mastered. They told me it "didn't make the final playlist". Long story short, it's obvious the project got cancelled.Last year I wanted to cancel my account and they convinced me to stay for another year. There were no opportunities to submit to for the whole year. Then a few days ago I got hit with a credit card charge, with no warning and no invoice.I was told to submit their "refund request form" to receive a reply in "3-5 days", which is ridiculous. And I did. The refund was denied "under the Terms & Conditions". Well, guess what the T&C say? "10.11 You may cancel any subscription type by giving notice in your Registered User account Settings page by clicking on the Cancel Account link and completing the prompts. You will receive a full refund at any time within fourteen (14) working days beginning on the day after you receive confirmation of your subscription cancellation from Music Gateway. This is provided you have not used the service during this period."I was told to "contest" my refund by filling the same form again. That's the last I heard from them, and that was one week ago.So, I cancelled the account, lost access immediately and I'm out of my money.It's sad that these people want to keep money from the weakest link in the chain right now: independent artists.
